Physics
1 A star in the M100 galaxy is undergoing a form of vibration. We
know that its frequency can only depend on the star's density, radius,
and the gravitational constant G. If the density is increased by 4
times, how many times will the frequency be?
2 A light ray is being reflected by a plane mirror. By what angle should
we rotate the mirror so that the reflected ray rotates by 30 degree?
3 Akib makes a sound towards a wall 100 m away from him and starts
running to the wall at 10 m/s. How long after making the sound will
he hear the echo?
The speed of sound is 332 m/s. Write your answer to at least two
decimal places.
4 Consider a ship moving along the equator at constant speed. How fast
does it have to move for one day on the ship to last 25 hours?
Radius of earth = 6371 km
Chemistry
5 AxBy (s) + a H2O(l) → b A(OH)2 (aq) + c BH3 (g)
Find the minimum possible value of x, y, a, b, c

6 Shafayat made a reaction between H2SO4 and a compound containing

magnesium in a test tube. The products of the reaction are water and
a salt. He also noticed that there were bubbles in the test tube. What
was the compound containing magnesium?
7 Astronaut Akib has started expedition in Mars with 100 electrons
taken from earth. Then how much will be the relative charge of
earth? [Mention the value and the sign.]
8 Nishchintapur village is under germ attack. To prevent those germs,
they have two types of acid (H3PO2 and H2SO4) as defence mechanism
that are to be thrown using bombshells. On top of that, only two
types of shells can be made in Nishchintapur, one with radius of 3
 meter and other with 6 meter. Besides, only H3PO2 can be thrown
using 3 meter shells and H₂SO₄ can be thrown using 6 meter shells.
Now, if 176 shells filled with H3PO2 of 1 molar strength is needed to
kill all those germs, then how many shells filled with H2SO4 of same
strength will be needed?
Biology
9 Actiniaria contain a venom that is used to sting and paralyse prey.
Amphiprion contains an enzyme in its scales that makes it immune to
the venom. This allows Amphiprion to freely live amongst the fronds
of Actiniaria without being harmed, protected from their natural
predators. In return, Amphiprion protect Actiniaria from predation
by butterfly fish, which can eat Actiniaria. What type of relationship
is this an example of?
Predator-prey / Mutualism / Commensalism / Parasitism
10 The cell cycle is made up of four main phases. The genetic material of
a cell is replicated in S phase while cell division occurs in M phase.
Cells from different tissues will cycle at different rates, some
continuous while others are capable of entering a resting state. Cells
from which tissue are likely to cycle continuously?
skin / liver / brain / kidney
11 The diagram below represents a
portion of stained onion leaf under
microscope.
What molecule is the stain most likely
to be adhering to?
DNA / Phospholipids / Protein / Chitin / Cellulose
12 Nibir consumes 2072 kcal per day and 50% of that is utilized for
producing ATP. Assume that the molecular weight of ATP is 500 g/mol
and energy released by the hydrolysis of ATP is 14 kcal/mol. Suppose
that the total weight of ATP present in Nibir's body is 0.1 mole. In this
case, how many times a day will each ATP get recycled?
