SECTION–I : (Maximum Marks : 24)
• This section contains EIGHT questions.
• For each question, enter the correct numerical value of the answer using the mouse and the
on-screen virtual numeric keypad in the place designated to enter the answer. If the
numerical value has more than two decimal places, truncate/round-off the value to TWO
decimal places.
• For each question, marks will be awarded in one of the following categories:
Full Marks : +3 ONLY if the correct numerical value is entered
Zero Marks : 0 In all other cases.
1. In given figure, an ideal gas is trapped between a mercury column and the closed end of a
uniform vertical tube. The upper end of the tube is open to the atmosphere. Initially the
lengths of the mercury column and the trapped air column are 12 cm and 50 cm
respectively. When the tube is tilted slowly in a vertical plane through an angle of 30° with
x
horizontal then the new length of air column is m. Find x . Assuming the temperature

distance (in m) travelled by the truck by the time box falls from the truck. (Ignore the size
of the box).

(II) Maximum distance is between
⇒ Distance between

⇒ Square of max. distance is 10.
(III) Locus of foot of ⊥ from (0, 0) is
(x – 0)(x – 1) + (y – 0)(y + 3) = 0
x2 + y2 – x + 3y = 0 ⇒ a + b = 2
