Question : The photoelectric effect demonstrates which nature of light?
Option 1: Crystalline nature
Option 2: Particle nature
Option 3: Dual nature
Option 4: Wave nature
Correct Answer: Particle nature
Solution : The correct option is Particle nature.
The particle nature of light is demonstrated through the photoelectric effect. The amount of light that is emitted is dependent on its intensity. According to the theory of light's particle nature, light is made up of "photons,"
Question : In $\triangle ABC$, AB = BC = $k$, AC =$\sqrt2k$, then $\triangle ABC$ is a:
Option 1: Isosceles triangle
Option 2: Right-angled triangle
Option 3: Equilateral triangle
Option 4: Right isosceles triangle
Correct Answer: Right isosceles triangle
Solution : AB = $k$ BC = $k$ AC = $\sqrt2k$ ⇒ AB2 = $k^2$ ⇒ BC2 = $k^2$ ⇒ AC2 = $2k^2$ $\therefore$ AB2 + BC2 = AC2 and AB = BC By Pythagoras theorem, $\triangle$ ABC is

Question : AD is the median of $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$. G is the centroid of $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$. If AG = 14 cm, then what is the length of AD?
Option 1: 42 cm
Option 2: 28 cm
Option 3: 35 cm
Option 4: 21 cm
Correct Answer: 21 cm
Solution : AD is the median of triangle ABC. G is the centroid of triangle ABC. If AG = 14 cm So, $\frac{AG}{GD}=\frac{2}{1}$ ⇒ $\frac{14}{GD} = \frac{2}{1}$ ⇒ $GD =7$ cm $\therefore$ AD = AG + GD = 14 + 7 = 21 cm Hence, the
Question : Directions: Three of the following four-letter clusters are alike in a certain way and one is different. Pick the cluster that is different from the rest.
Option 1: IJK
Option 2: GIK
Option 3: LNP
Option 4: TVX
Correct Answer: IJK
Solution : Let's check the options – First option: IJK→I + 1 = J; J + 1 = K Second option: GIK→G + 2 = I; I + 2 = K Third option: LNP→L + 2 = N; N + 2 = P Fourth option: TVX→T +
Question : If $\cos(A+B)=0$ and $\sin(A-B)=0$, then what is the value of $\angle A$ and $\angle B$ ? ( $0^\circ < A, B \leq 90 ^\circ$)
Option 1: $20^\circ, 70^\circ$
Option 2: $45^\circ, 45^\circ$
Option 3: $60^\circ, 30^\circ$
Option 4: $15^\circ, 75^\circ$
Correct Answer: $45^\circ, 45^\circ$
Solution : Given: $\cos(A+B)=0$ and $\sin(A-B)=0$ The equation $\cos(A+B)=\cos 90^\circ$ $A+B=90^\circ$............(equation 1) The equation $\sin(A-B)=\sin 0^\circ$ $A-B=0^\circ$............(equation 2) Solving these two equations, we get: $\angle A = \angle B = 45^\circ$ Hence, the correct answer is $45^\circ, 45^\circ$.
Question : Directions: A cube is made by folding the given sheet. In the cube so formed, which number letter will be on the face opposite to the face showing 7?
Option 1: A
Option 2: 4
Option 3: 6
Option 4: 8
Correct Answer: 4
Solution : The opposite pairs of faces are as follows –
So, in the 3D view of dice, the face opposite the face showing 7 is 4. Hence, the second option is correct.
Question : Which of the following statements is correct regarding the marginal utility of a commodity?
I. It is the change in total utility due to the consumption of one additional unit of a commodity. II. It diminishes with an increase in consumption of the commodity.
Option 1: Both I and II
Option 2: Only II
Option 3: Only I
Option 4: Neither I nor II
Correct Answer: Both I and II
Solution : The correct option is Both I and II.
The following is an accurate statement about a commodity's marginal utility:
I. It is the difference in overall utility brought about by using one more unit of a resource.
