I. Speed = 0
II. Slip = 0.5
III. Slip = 1

Choose the correct option.

💡Correct Answer: Option A (Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are individually true and Statement (II) is the correct explanation of Statement (I).)

In AM systems, the sideband power is given by

P_c(m^2/2)

. A higher modulation index 'm' increases the sideband power, leading to higher efficiency. Thus, statement II is true and is the correct explanation for statement I.

Which of the following statement is/are correct

💡Correct Answer: Option B (a, b, and c)

All statements (a, b, and c) are correct. Carbon monoxide (

CO

) is produced primarily by the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbon fuels. It binds to hemoglobin with an affinity 200–250 times greater than oxygen, forming carboxyhemoglobin (

💡Correct Answer: Option B (66)

In the standard membrane filter technique, the sample portion yielding colony counts in the ideal readable range (20–80 colonies) is chosen, which is the 50 mL portion. Average count for 50 mL

= \frac{30+35+26+36+38}{5} = \frac{165}{5} = 33\text{ colonies}

⚙️ Mechanical EngineeringMaterial Science: Strain Hardening & Dislocations

Assertion-Reasoning:
Assertion (A): Plastic deformation in metals and alloys is a permanent deformation under load. It is useful in strengthening the products obtained via cold rolling process.
Reason (R): Plastic or permanent deformation in metal/alloys causes an increase in dislocation density.

Q1033

⚙️ Mechanical EngineeringThermodynamics: Thermodynamic Processes

In an adiabatic process, which of the following is not true?

💡Correct Answer: Option D (Heat enters or leaves the gas)

Q1039

⚙️ Mechanical EngineeringThermodynamics: Thermodynamic Processes

Match List-I (Process) with List-II (characteristics) and select the correct answer using the code given below:
List-I: P. Throttling process, Q. Isentropic process, R. Free expansion, S. Isothermal process
List-II: I. No work done, II. No change in entropy, III. Constant internal energy, IV. Constant enthalpy

💡Correct Answer: Option C (P-IV, Q-II, R-I, S-III)

Throttling = Constant enthalpy (

Q = \Delta U + W \implies \Delta U = Q - W

, where

Q

is heat added,

A Beam of electrons is travelling in a straight line. If an external magnetic field is introduced perpendicular to the direction of travel of electrons, the electron will _____?

💡Correct Answer: Option D (Be deflected to travel perpendicular to the magnetic field and perpendicular to their initial direction of motion)

According to the Lorentz Force Law (

\vec{F} = -e(\vec{v} \times \vec{B})

), a magnetic field perpendicular to an electron's velocity exerts a magnetic deflecting force perpendicular to both the velocity vector and the magnetic field lines (causing circular or curved trajectory without changing speed).

has the shortest half-life.

Q1416

Radiation Physics & Atomic StructureRadioactive Equilibria (Secular vs Transient)

What Kind of radioactive equilibrium can occur when a very long live radionuclide decays to very short lived one?

💡Correct Answer: Option B (Secular)

Secular equilibrium occurs when the parent half-life is vastly greater than the daughter half-life (

T_{\text{parent}} \gg T_{\text{daughter}}

, e.g. ^{226}\text{Ra} → {}^{222}\text{Rn}), so the parent activity does not decrease noticeably over many daughter half-lives.

Q1417

Radiation Physics & Atomic StructureRadioactive Decay Law Calculations

How many mCi of a radioactive radioisotope (T1/2 = 2.7 days) are required so that the samples activity will be 10mCi 24 hrs later?

💡Correct Answer: Option D (12.93)

Decay constant

\lambda = \frac{0.693}{T_{1/2}} = \frac{0.693}{2.7\text{ days}} = 0.2567\text{ day}^{-1}

.
Time elapsed

t = 24\text{ hrs} = 1.0\text{ day}

.

A(t) = A_0 e^{-\lambda t} \implies A_0 = \frac{A(t)}{e^{-\lambda t}} = \frac{10\text{ mCi}}{e^{-0.2567}} = \frac{10}{0.7736} \approx 12.93\text{ mCi}.

Visible light has a wavelength of approximately 6×10^-7 m. Co60 gamma rays have a wavelength of 1×10^-12 m and the energy of 1.25 MeV. What is the approximate energy of light photons?

💡Correct Answer: Option B (2eV)

Energy of photon

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} = \frac{1240\text{ eV}\cdot\text{nm}}{\lambda}

.
For visible light

\lambda = 600\text{ nm}

(

6 \times 10^{-7}\text{ m}

):

E = \frac{1240\text{ eV}\cdot\text{nm}}{600\text{ nm}} \approx 2.06\text{ eV} \approx 2\text{ eV}.

Q1422

Radiation Physics & Atomic StructureCompton Scattering & Electron Density

The ratio of Compton interaction in one gram of hydrogen to one gram of water is about:

💡Correct Answer: Option C (2.0)

Compton mass attenuation depends directly on electron density (

N_e = N_A \cdot Z/A

).
- For Hydrogen (

Z/A = 1/1 = 1.0

):

N_e \approx 6.022 \times 10^{23}\text{ e}^-/\text{g}

- For Water (

Z/A = 10/18 \approx 0.555

):

N_e \approx 3.34 \times 10^{23}\text{ e}^-/\text{g}

\text{Ratio} = \frac{1.0}{0.555} \approx 1.8 \approx 2.0.
