Attempt any 10 questions
Question No. 49 to 52 are based on the given text. Read the text carefully and answer the
questions:
A solution that has dissolved as much solute as it is capable of dissolving, is said to be a saturated
solution. In other words, when no more solute can be dissolved in a solution at a given temperature, it
is called a saturated solution. If the amount of solute contained in a solution is less than the saturation
level, it is called an unsaturated solution. Chromatography is the technique used for the separation of
those solutes that dissolve in the same solvent. The principle is that immiscible liquids separate out in
layers depending on their densities. Sublimation is also used to separate substance.

questions:
Plant cells, in addition to the plasma membrane, have another rigid outer covering called the cell wall.
The cell wall lies outside the plasma membrane. The plant cell wall is mainly composed of cellulose. The
nucleus has a double-layered covering called a nuclear membrane. The nuclear membrane has pores
that allow the transfer of material from inside the nucleus to its outside, that is, to the cytoplasm. The
nucleus contains chromosomes, which are visible as rod-shaped structures only when the cell is about
to divide. Chromosomes contain information for the inheritance of characters from parents to the next
generation in the form of DNA. The nucleus plays a central role in cellular reproduction, the process by
which a single cell divides and forms two new cells.

Section A
1. (d) (i), (iii) and (iv)
Explanation: Melting of iron metal, bending of an iron rod and drawing wire of iron metal are all physical
changes whereas rusting of iron is a chemical change.
2. (c) it avoids drying of the material
Explanation: Glycerine is used for temporary mounting as it is hygroscopic and does not allow the
mounted material to dry up.
3. (d) lateral meristem
Explanation: The lateral meristematic tissues are responsible for an increase in the diameter or girth of
the plant.
4. (c) zero displacement
Explanation: When the body comes back to its starting point, it has zero resultant displacements but
covers a certain non-zero distance.
5. (b) isolated
Explanation: Force can not generate in a body on its own.
6. (c) a translucent mixture is formed
Explanation: Egg white is translucent. Egg albumin forms colloidal solution which is translucent.
7. (b) both (water only) and (water + inorganic substances)
Explanation: The liquid found inside the plant cell vacuole is referred to as the cell sap and it is a dilute
fluid consisting of water, amino acids, glucose i.e. (water + inorganic substances), water may also be
inhabited with a negligible amount of salts because it somehow depends on the mineral excess inside the
body of plants. The excess material is temporarily stored inside the cell sap. Thus, vacuoles act as
storehouses in plants.
8. (d) Chlorenchyma
Explanation: Parenchyma tissues which contain chlorophyll and helps in photosynthesis are called
chlorenchyma.
9. (b) (A)
Explanation: Motion can be non-uniform if there is a change in velocity.
10. (b) N - s
Explanation: The Newton second (also newton-second, symbol Ns or N·s)is the derived SI unit of
Momentum. It is dimensionally equivalent to the momentum unit kilogram metre per second (kgm/s). One
newton second corresponds to a one-newton force applied for one second.
⃗
F . t = Δmv ⃗

11. (d) homogeneous and does not show Tyndall effect

Explanation: Sulphur and carbon disulphide do not form a uniform composition and the properties of the
mixture are not same throughout.
Therefore, it forms a heterogeneous composition.
Moreover, it shows a Tyndall effect, because in water sulphur remains suspended whereas carbon
disulphide settles down as a layer at the bottom.
12. (d) Endocytosis
Explanation: Amoeba acquires its food by the process of endocytosis with the help of finger-like
projections called pseudopodia (Pseudo means false; podia means feet). The flexibility of the plasma
membrane enables amoeba to use pseudopodia to engulf food and other material from its environment.
13. (d) Connective tissue
Explanation: Two bones can be connected to each other by another type of connective tissue called the
 ligament. Tendons connect bones to muscles and are another type of connective tissue.
14. (b) Frictional force
Explanation: Any object which face non zero force will have some change in speed if the body is at rest or
moving. So it is not possible to travel with constant speed. The forces can do work against each other. For
example, you could push the object at constant speed over a rough surface. The net force on the object is
zero.
15. (d) third law of motion
Explanation: The jet engine sucks air in at the front with a fan. A compressor raises the pressure of the
air. The compressor is made with many blades attached to a shaft. The blades spin at high speed and
compress or squeeze the air. The compressed air is then sprayed with fuel and an electric spark lights the
mixture. The burning gases expand and blast out through the nozzle, at the back of the engine. As the jets
of gas shoot backward, the engine and the aircraft are thrust forward (Newton's third law of motion).
16. (a) visible with a powerful microscope
Explanation: The size of particles of the colloidal solution lies between 10-7 cm to 10-4 cm in diameter. So,
The particles of colloidal solutions are visible with a powerful microscope.
17. (c) porous, double membrane
Explanation: The bounding structure of the eukaryotic nucleus. Composed of two phospholipid bilayers
with the outer one connected to the endoplasmic reticulum. Double membrane structure riddled with
pores that surround deoxyribonucleic acid in eukaryotes. The nuclear pores, like guards at an important
government building, are very strict.
18. (c) Cartilage
Explanation: Cartilage is a connective tissue that provides support and flexibility to the body parts. It
smoothens bone surfaces at joints. It is also present in the nose, ear, trachea, and larynx.
19. (b) 5:9
500
Explanation: Average speed = 10
= 50 km/hr
Ratio of average speed to maximum speed = 50 : 90 = 5:9
20. (b) momentum
Explanation:
Momentum remains conserved in absence of any external force. Momentum is the product of the mass and
velocity of an object. It is a three-dimensional vector quantity, possessing a magnitude and a direction.
21. (c) I2 solution (Iodine)
Explanation: Many different food groups contain a carbohydrate known as starch. Using an iodine
solution, you can test for the presence of starch. When starch is present, the iodine changes from brown to
blue-black or purple.
22. (a) detoxification
Explanation: Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER) is responsible for the synthesis and repair of
membranes. It also has a detoxification function.
23. (b) phloem fibres
Explanation: Phloem fibres are thick walled, elongated spindle shaped dead cells which possess narrow
lumen. They provide mechanical support to the tissue. Phloem parenchyma are thin walled-living cells of
parenchyma. They have two functions, storage and lateral food conduction.
24. (a) constant
Explanation: Displacement is proportional to square of time
s is displacement and t is time then,
s ∝ t2
s = kt2
velocity(v) = 2kt
Acceleration(a) = 2k = constant.
So, the motion of the body is constant acceleration.
Section B
25. (d) momentum
Explanation: Rocket works on the conservation of momentum. In a rocket, the fuel burns and produces
gas at high temperature. These gases are ejected out of the rocket from a nozzle at the back side of the
rocket. The ejecting gas exerts a forward force on the rocket which help in accelerating. Through the mass
of gases escaping per second is very small and their momentum is very large due to their tremendous
velocity of escape. An equal and opposite momentum is imparted to the rocket which despite its large mass
builds up a high velocity.
26. (b) endoplasmic reticulum
Explanation: The Golgi apparatus functions as a factory in which proteins received from the Endoplasmic
reticulum are further processed and sorted for transport to their eventual destinations: lysosomes, the
plasma membrane, or secretion.
27. (a) Companion cells
Explanation: Tracheids and vessels are xylem elements and are concerned with the transport of water.
They are long tube-like structures with partially or completely dissolved walls to form water pipes (in
vessels) and pits in cell wall (in tracheids) for conducting water. Sieve tubes are slender tube-like structures
with their end walls perforated by numerous pores and are called sieve plates. They are phloem elements
and are main food conducting elements. Companion cells possess numerous mitochondria and ribosomes
and are supporting units of sieve tubes.
28. (b) simple pit pair
Explanation: The part marked 'X' in the diagram is simple pit pair. In the pair of simple pits of two
adjacent cells, each simple pit is more or less uniform-diameter void in the walls. Cell wall contains simple
pits. In simple pits the width of the pit chamber is uniform. There is no secondary wall in the simple pit.
29. (a) Chromosome
Explanation: An animal cell that does not contain nuclei will also lack chromosomes. Chromosomes are
present inside the nucleus of a cell. Chromosomes contain information for the inheritance of features from
parents to the next generation in the form of DNA (Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid) molecules.
30. (b) (A)
Explanation: If there is a decrease in acceleration, it is called Retardation. This means the rate of decrease
in velocity is called Retardation. The negative acceleration is termed retardation or deceleration.
SI unit of acceleration (a) is m/s2 or ms-2.
So, the unit of retardation is -ms-2.
31. (b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
32. (c) A is true but R is false.
Explanation: A fruit when unripe is green but becomes beautifully coloured when ripe. This colour
change is due to the change of chloroplasts into chromoplast.
33. (b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: The cells of non-striated muscles or smooth muscles are spindle-shaped, uni-nucleated,
elongated, and have no striations. They are involuntary in nature.
The non-striated muscles or smooth muscles are found within the walls of the elementary canal, bladder,
and blood vessels.
34. (b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: Average velocity Vav
Total displacement Vt
= =
t
=V
Total elapsed time

= Instantaneous velocity
Hence, assertion is correct. If a particle is in a round trip on a straight line, then average velocity is zero but
at the instant at which the particle reverses its direction of motion, velocity is zero. So, reason is correct.
But reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
35. (c) A is true but R is false.
Explanation: Plasma membrane makes a boundary around the cell content. If it is ruptured the entire cell
 content (cytoplasm, cell organelles)will be lost and cell will die.
36. (b) Sulphur will melt first
Explanation: When we start heating a mixture of iron filing and sulphur, the sulphur melts reacting
exothermically (that is with the production of heat) with the iron filings to form the compound Iron (II)
sulfide. The compound formed has properties that are different from both sulfur and iron. For instance,
the compound does not have the magnetic properties of iron, and thus a magnet that could have easily
separated iron nails and sulphur initially, will not be able to separate iron and sulphur from Iron (II)
sulphide.
37. (b) the water turned pink
Explanation: Metanil yellow is a synthetic dye which is not permitted to use as a food colour. However, it
is extensively used to give a yellow colour to dal and turmeric. It is toxic in nature and it has adverse
effects on intestine and brain. Presence of metanil yellow can be tested in dal by adding a few drops of
hydrochloric acid to test sample. Of the test solution turns pink in colour, it indicates of mentanil yellow.
38. (d) respiratory tract
Explanation: Columnar epithelium in the intestine and columnar epithelium with cilia in the lining of the
respiratory tract.
39. (b) on different bodies
Explanation: Reaction from a body is caused due to action of some another body on it.
40. (c) force
Explanation: Fireman holds a hose by exerting a force because equal and opposite force acts on him. To
counter that force he needs to hold the hose with force.
41. (d) Protoplasm
Explanation: Protoplasm According to Huxley is the physical basis of life. Inside the cell wall of living cells,
the living substance is known as protoplasm and it is a thick fluid or jellylike substance in texture.
42. (d) basement membrane
Explanation: Epithelial tissues are physically separated from underlying connective tissues by a basement
membrane or basal lamina. The portion of an epithelial cell attached to the basement membrane is called
its basal surface.
43. (d) a cup of tea
Explanation: Inertia is directly proportional to mass and one which poses least resistance also possess
least inertia.
44. (a) chemical method
Explanation: The components of compound can be separated by chemical methods only because they
have undergone chemical changes while formation which is physically irreversible.
45. (c) (i) and (iv)
Explanation: A mixture is said to be a homogeneous mixture if its constituents are distributed uniformly
and are not physically distinct. Wood and soil are heterogeneous mixtures. Ice is made up of water and
water is a pure compound. Air is a mixture of various gases.
Ice and air are homogeneous in nature.
46. (a) (iii) and (iv)
