Question : Which one of the following is not a property of electromagnetic waves?
Option 1: Electromagnetic waves do not show interference and diffraction.
Option 2: Osillating electric field and magnetic field are perpendicular to each other.
Option 3: Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves.
Option 4: Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to propagate.
Correct Answer: Electromagnetic waves do not show interference and diffraction.
Solution : The correct option is Electromegnetic waves do not show interference and diffraction.
Electromagnetic waves, like light, demonstrate both interference and diffraction. Interference arises from the interaction of two or more waves, leading to patterns of constructive and

Question : Fermentation of milk to curd is due to :
Option 1: Mycobacterium
Option 2: Staphylococcus
Option 3: Lactobacillus
Option 4: Yeasts
Correct Answer: Lactobacillus

Question : In the given figure, if $\mathrm{PA}$ and $\mathrm{PB}$ are tangents to the circle with centre $\mathrm{O}$ such that $\angle \mathrm{APB}=54^{\circ}$, then $\angle \mathrm{OBA}=$________.
Option 1: 27°
Option 2: 40°
Option 3: 30°
Option 4: 35°
Correct Answer: 27°
Solution : We have to find $\angle AOB$. In quadrilateral APBO, $\angle A = \angle B = 90°$ Now, $\angle P + \angle A + \angle B + \angle O = 360°$ ⇒ $54° + 90° + 90° + \angle O = 360°$ ⇒ $\angle O =
Question : If $1 + \sin\theta = m\cos\theta$, then what is the value of $\sin\theta$?
Option 1: $\frac{2 m^2-1}{m^2+1}$
Option 2: $\frac{m^2-1}{m^2+1}$
Option 3: $\frac{m^2+1}{2m^2-1}$
Option 4: $\frac{m^2+1}{m^2-1}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{m^2-1}{m^2+1}$
Solution : $1 + \sin\theta = m\cos\theta$ ⇒ $m=\frac{1}{\cos\theta}+\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}$ ⇒ $m=\sec\theta+\tan\theta$ Squaring both sides, we get, ⇒ $m^2 = \sec^2\theta + \tan^2\theta + 2\sec\theta\tan\theta$ We know, $\sec^2\theta = 1+\tan^2\theta$ ⇒ $m^2 = 1+\tan^2\theta + \tan^2\theta + 2\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos^2\theta}$ ⇒ $m^2 = 1+2\frac{\sin^2\theta}{\cos^2\theta} +2\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos^2\theta}$ ⇒ $m^2 = \frac{\cos^2\theta +2\sin^2\theta
Question : After the defeat at Plassey, Siraj-ud-Daula was assassinated and ____ was made the Nawab.
