5.(B) The tension in the string between P and Q accelerates double the mass as compared to that between Q
and R. Hence, tension between P and Q = 2 × tension between Q and R.
6.(A) Limiting value of static frictional force on B = s mB g

f L = 0.5  7 10 = 35N  amax of A = 1 m/s2

 Blocks move togetehr if 0  F  42N
As F = 100N
and the two bodies will move in the same direction, (i.e., of applied force) but with different
accelerations. Here, force of friction k mB g will oppose the motion of B which will cause the motion
of A. So, the equation of motion of block B will be,
F − k mB g = mB aB … (i)
( F − K mB g ) (100 − 0.4  7 10) 100 − 28 72
i.e., aB = = = = = 10.3 m s−2

4.(A) For alkali metals, as we move down the group, the size of atom increases, easy ionisation of metals.
Thus down the group, reactivity of metal increases. For halogens, as we move down the group, the size
of atom increases, low electron affinity. Thus down the group reactivity of non-metals decreases.

 Oxidising property order  F > O > Cl > N

Li and Mg have similar properties, which is referred as diagonal relationship in the periodic properties.
9.(C) In general, in a group on moving down a group, the size increases, thus I.E decreases.

Oxygen is more electronegative than carbon meaning electron density is going to be pulled in the
direction of oxygen, away from carbon. But as contribution of co-ordinated  - bond is more compared
