PHYSICS

1)

Incident angle of an incident ray is taken from normal. If incident ray is normal to the surface of
the mirror then incident angle will be zero.
∠ i = ∠ r = 0°

∠r +∠x = 90°
0 + ∠x = 90°
∠x = 90°

2)

A parallel beam of light in air is incident on a plane mirror. The beam after reflection remains
parallel.

3) = 90° – 35° = 55°

As per laws of reflection,
=
So, = = 55°

4)

Image distance from mirror = object distance from mirror v = u.

and distance between image and object = v + u
= 50 + 50 = 100 cm.

5) True
The incident ray, the normal to the mirror at the point of incidence and the reflected ray, all lie
in the same plane.

6)

True
The sun is the natural source of light.

7)
The ray of light which falls on the mirror surface is called incident ray.

8)

line perpendicular to the surface of mirror passing through the point of incident is called normal.

9)

The angle made by incident ray with the normal at the point of incidence is called angle of incidence.

10)

The angle made by reflected ray with the normal at the point of incidence is called angle of
reflection.

11)

Statements (A) and (C) are correct.

12)

Virtual, erect and the same size as you.

13)

When an asymmetric object is placed in front of plane mirror, then the right side of the object
appears to be the left side of image and the left side of the object appears to be the right side of its
image. This change of sides of an object seen in the image is called left-right inversion or lateral
inversion.

14)

15)

CHEMISTRY
 16) Melting is a physical process which can be reversed.

17)

Chemical changes can not be reverse back so they are permanent, irreversible and a new substance
is also produced.

18)

19)

Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is also known as marble.

20)

A chemical change in which one or more substances change into new substances, so rusting of iron
is chemical change

21)

23)

Neither physical nor chemical change

24)

Both physical and chemical change

25)

Chemical change

26)

Physical changes is that are generally converted back into their original position so they are
temporary.

27) sign is used to indicate a reversible reaction.

28)

Mn is the correct symbol of manganese.

H stands for an atom of hydrogen.

30)

Nitrogen dioxide NO2 (di means two).

BIOLOGY

31)

Both animals & fungi depend on other organisms for nutrition.

32)

An autotroph is an organism that can prepare its own food from inorganic raw material like CO2, H2O
in presence of sunlight by the process of photosynthesis.

33) In parasitic nutrition an organism derives its food from the body of host without killing it.

34)

CO2 is the raw material for photosynthesis listed among.

35)

In photosynthesis, light energy is converted into chemical energy in form of ATP and NADPH2.

36)

The reaction of iodine solution with starch results in blue-black colour.

37)

Basic criteria for life is molecular movement.

38)

Nutrition is a life process.

39)

First true and oxygenic photosynthesis is performed by blue green algae.

40)

Destarching is done by placing the plant in a dark room.

41) The plucked leaf is first boiled in water for a few minutes, because it kills the cells and
makes the leaf soft and more permeable to iodine solution.

42)
The process of extracellular digestion is performed by yeast, mushrooms and bread moulds where
food is broken down outside the cell.

43) KOH helps in absorption of carbon dioxide.

44) Water CO2, light, chlorophyll, optimum temperature are the requirements for
photosynthesis.

45)

Uncovered part of leaf shows positive (blue-black colour) for starch test as it is exposed to light
where as covered part which does not receive sunlight, does not perform photosynthesis & does not
turn blue-black.

MATHEMATICS

46) For infinitely many solution

47) If a pair of linear equations is consistent then the lines will be intersecting or coincident.

48) For consistent

49) For infinitely many solution

50) For unique solution

 51) 3x + 2y + 25 = 0 ... (i)
x + y + 15 = 0 ... (ii)
Multiply equation (ii) by 2
2 × [x + y + 15] = 0 ... (iii)
By solving equation (i) & (iii), we get
3x + 2y + 25 = 0
2x + 2y + 30 = 0
- - -
x=5
and y = –20

52) If then solution of pair of linear equation is called infinitely many solution.

53)

Putting x = 0, in eq. (1)

2(0) + 3y = 0 ⇒ 3y = 0 ⇒ y = 0/3 = 0

∴x+y=0 +0=0

54)

When lines and are intersecting, then the equations have unique solution.

55)
Intersecting at (a, b)

56)

ax + by = p ... (i)
cx + dy = q ... (ii)
Also, ad ≠ bc [Given]

∴ Unique solution.
 57) For dependent linear equations

58) Given statement is true.

59) False
For no solution

[from given equation]

60) Given statement is true.

61)

ATQ, given graph of linear equation is x – y = 0

Then at (–1, 1), – 1 – 1 = –2 ≠ 0
∴ (–1, 1) does not lie on the x – y = 0
Thus, given graph do not represent x – y = 0
So given statement is false.

62) Multiply equation (i) by 2

2 × [2x - y = 5] ... (i)
3x + 2y = 11 ... (ii)
Now,
4x - 2y = 10
3x + 2y = 11
7x = 21

2(3) - y = 5
6-5=y

Now x + y = 3 + 1 = 4

63) Multiply equation (i) by 2

2[ x + 2y] = 5 ... (i)
2x + 3y = 8 ... (ii)
Now 2x + 4y = 10
2x + 3y = 8
- - -
y=2
x + 2(2) = 5
x=1
Now x + y = 1 + 2 = 3

64) Given equations are

2x + 3y = 7
6x + 9y = 11

So,
that means given equations have no solution.

65) Multiply equation (ii) by 2

3x - 4y = 7 ... (i)
2 × [5x + 2y] = 3 ... (ii)
Now 3x - 4y = 7
10 x + 4y = 6
13x = 13
x=1
3(1) - 4y = 7
-4y = 7 - 3 ⇒ y =-1
Now 7(1) + 5(-1) = 7-5 =2

66) For no common solution

⇒ -a2 = a2 - 1
⇒ 2a2 = 1

⇒ a2 =

67) For dependent equations condition will be

Hence (1) is dependent equation of given equation.

68)

3x + =3 ................(1) × 2

5x + =2 ................(2)
 6x + = 6 [equation (1)]
– – –
_____________________________
–x=–4
⇒ x=4
By (2), we have

5×4+ =2

20 + =2

⇒ = 2 – 20

⇒ = – 18

⇒ y=

⇒ y=

so = =

69)

(1) 3x – y = 8
3x – y = 9
It is clear that

Hence inconsistent.
(2) 4x + 3y = 24, –2x + 3y = 6

Here,
Hence consistent.
(3) 5x – y = 10, 10x –2y = 20

Here,
Hence consistent.
(4) –2x + y = 3, –4x + 2y = 6

Here
Hence consistent.

70)

3x – 2y = 4
6x – 4y = 8
On substituting the values it is clear that
(1), (2) & (3) are solutions of the given equations.
