For a pendulum, T = 2π where l is measured upto Centre of gravity. The centre of gravity
𝑔
of system is at Centre of sphere when hole is plugged. When unplugged, water drains out.
Centre of gravity goes on descending. When the bob becomes empty, centre of gravity is
restored to centre.

First we have to find a point where the resultant field due to both is zero.
Let the point P be at a distance x from centre of bigger star.
𝐺(16𝑀) 𝐺𝑀
⟹ 𝑥2
= (10𝑎−𝑥)2 ⟹ x = 8a(from 𝑂1 )
i.e., once the body reaches P, the gravitational pull of attraction due to M takes the lead to make m
move towards it automatically as the gravitational pull of attraction due to 16M vanishes i.e., a
minimum KE or velocity has to be imparted to m from surface of 16M such
that it is just able to overcome the gravitational pull of 16M. By law of conservation of energy

96.(b)Solution: Mycoplasmas(Monera) are organisms that completely lack a cell wall. protozoans (Protista)lack
cell wall

103.(d) Solution:The "eyes" on a potato tuber are nodes from which new plants arise.
105.(d) Solution:Beneficial elements are sodium, silicon, cobalt and selenium. They are required by higher
plants but not absolutely essential.

dioxide is not released.
107.(c) Solution:In C3 plants ,3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA)is the first stable product and is a C3 compound and
inC4 plants it is Oxaloacetate (OAA), a four carbon compound.
108.(a) Solution: cell membrane is composed of lipids that are arranged in a bilayer. Lipids are arranged within
the membrane with the polar head towards the outer sides and the hydrophobic tails towards the inner
part.This ensures that the nonpolar tail of saturated hydrocarbons is protected from the aqueous
environment
110. (c) Solution: sugars are loaded (actively transported) into a sieve tube
111. (c)Solution: Saccharumofficinarum grows in South India .Semi-dwarf varieties are developed from IR-8 .

112.(a) Solution: sodium-potassium pump moves 3 sodium ions out & moves 2 potassium ions in
116.(c) Solution:secondary succession is fast.In successive seral stages, there is change in the diversity of
species of organisms
118.(b) Solution: The fish gets protection from predators.The anemone does not appear to derive any benefit
by hosting the clown fish.
119.(b) Solution: In the stratosphere, chlorine atoms react with ozone molecules to form chlorine monoxide
and oxygen.This reaction causes the depletion of the ozone layer
121. (c) Solution: RNA interference (RNAi) is a post-transcriptional process triggered by the introduction of
double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) which leads to gene silencing in a sequence-specific manner.
122. (a) Solution:the plane of binary fission in paramecium is transverse.
123. (b) Solution:Carbon monoxide (CO) is only a very weak direct greenhouse gas, but has important indirect
effects on global warming.
124.(b) Solution:DNA is composed of 4 nucleotides and RNA is composed of four nucleotides.so total 8.
125.(c) Solution: Biochemical nature of genetic material is not known from Griffith’s experiment. Avirulent
bacteria is transformed. S strain is virulent as it has capsule
126. (c) Solution: DNA has the code for protein synthesis.
127.(d) Cytokinins have specific effects on cytokinesis, and were discovered as kinetin (a modified form of
adenine, a purine) from the autoclaved herring sperm DNA. Kinetin does not occur naturally in plants
129. (d)Solution:Insulin ,growth hormone and tpa are all produced by r DNA technology
130.(a) Solution: when TtRr is self pollinated,two out of 16 plants are showing both the characters dwarf and
pink.
131. (b)Solution:About seven percent of carbon dioxide is transported to the lungs in dissolved state.
132.(d) Solution:All are incorrect except saddle joint.saddle joint is a synovial joint.

134. (d) Solution: Human chorionic gonadotropin, human placental lactogen and relaxin are produced only
during
pregnancy.
136.(a) Solution:Active sites are unmasked when calcium binds with a subunit of troponin
137.(a) Solution:GIFT involves ovum collected from a donor into the fallopian tube of another woman who
cannot produce one
138.(d) Solution: The frequency of dominant allele is asked. P value should be calculated.
p2 has to be calculated first and then find out p.
140.(b) Solution: prokaryotic ribosomes are 70 S, ribosomes are found in prokaryotic cells also.mitochondria
has70 S ribosomes.
141.(a) Solution: species diversity decreases as we move away from the equator towards the poles. Genetic
diversity increases with environmental variability
142.(b) Solution:colour blind man with hypertrichosis marries a carrier woman.we can predict the progeny.
Half ofthe male children are with both colorblindness and hypertrichosis
143.(c) Solution:Random changes in gene frequencies due to chance in small population is called genetic drift.
146.(c) Solution: Taq DNA polymerase extends the primers using the nucleotides provided in the reaction and
the genomic DNA as template
147.(a) Solution: When pollen is shed at the two-cell stage, double fertilization will take place. In over 60 per
cent of angiosperms, pollen grains are shed at this 2-celled stage. In such plants, the generative cell
divides and forms the two male gametes during the growth of pollen tube in the stigma.
148.(c) Solution: restriction site of Pvu II is present in rop region. Rop codes for the proteins involved in the
replication of the plasmid.
151.(d) Solution:Non random mating will change gene frequency not random

153.(d) oxytocin is produced from hypothalamus.
155.(b) Solution: In a polysaccharide chain,the right end is called the reducing end and the left end is called
the non-reducing end. Nucleotide is the building block of nucleic acids
157.(b) Solution: Small amounts of lipases are also secreted by gastric glands. Nucleases in the pancreatic juice
acts on nucleic acids to form nucleotides and nucleosides
159.(d) Solution: residual, persistent nucellus is the perisperm. The zygote gives rise to the proembryo and
subsequently to the globular, heart-shapedand mature embryo In Monocots, Epicotyl has a shoot apex
and a few leaf primordia enclosed in a hollow foliar structure, the coleoptile
161.(b) Solution: smooth muscle fibres perform slow and sustained contractions. Do not show striations due to
irregular arrangement of actin and myosin filaments.
162.(c) Solution:Rudolf Virchow first explained that cells divide and new cells are formed from pre-existing
cells omniscellula e cellula,( Every cell comes from another cell)
165.(b) Solution: Pairing of homologous chromosomes at the metaphase plate occurs in meiosis but not in
mitosis.
169.(b) Solution: Kreb’s cycle starts with the condensation of acetyl group with oxaloacetic acid (OAA) and
water to yield citric acid
173.(b) Solution:ovary,testes and pancreas perform many functions apart secreting hormones.

XX.
179.(b) Solution: Some examples of recent extinctions include the dodo (Mauritius), quagga
(Africa), thylacine (Australia), Steller’s Sea Cow (Russia)
180.(b) Solution:Gause’s‘Competitive Exclusion Principle’ states that two closely related species competing for
the same resources cannot co-exist indefinitely and the competitively inferior one will be eliminated
eventually.
