(A) is an inertial frame by definition.
(B) cannot be an inertial frame because the earth is revolving round the sun.
(C) is an inertial frame because Newton’s laws are applicable in this frame.
(D) cannot be an inertial frame because the earth is rotating about its own axis.
Ans (B) and (D)

3
1I(I)2324PCMT01S(A)(P2)(NP01)

Option (A) is incorrect since the earth is an accelerated frame and hence cannot be an inertial frame.
option (C) is incorrect strictly speaking as the earth is accelerated reference frame (earth is treated as a
reference frame for practical examples and Newton’s laws are applicable to it only as a limiting case).
9. A body X moves with an initial velocity 10 ms−1 and acceleration 2 ms−2. Simultaneously another body
Y starting from rest moves with acceleration 3 ms−2. X and Y will have the same velocity after an

Ans (D)
Let v be the velocity of X and Y after t second
For X, v = 10 + 2t
For Y, v = 0 + 3t
10 + 2t = 3t  t = 10 s.

Consider the sphere as our system. On sphere there will be two contact forces and one field force,
contact force in the form of normal reactions exerted by inclined planes and vertical wall also field force
is the weight of the sphere as shown in free body diagram of cylinder. Here the sphere is at rest, net force
on the sphere should be zero.
In vertical direction: Fy = 0 or N2 cos 30 = 500
 3 1000

1
−10 = 40  −  10  102

Ans (A), (B) and (D)
As per constant relation if acceleration of block B is ‘a’ then acceleration of block A is ‘2a’
Now, as per force equation of B, mb sin 45 − 2T = mba
T − mag sin 45 = ma  2a
Now solving above two equations for acceleration of the blocks
mb sin 45 − 2ma sin 45 = (mb + 4ma)  a
(m sin 45 − 2ma sin 45)g
a= b
mb + 4ma
Now, plug in all values

Multiple choice questions with one correct alternative

1. Let (x0, y0) be the solution of the following equations (2x)ln 2 = (3y)ln 3 and 3ln x = 2ln y. Then x0 is
1 1 1
(A) (B) (C) (D) 6
6 3 2
Ans (C)
(2x)ln 2 = (3y)ln 3 and 3ln x = 2ln y … (i)
 (log x) (log 3) = (log y) log 2 … (ii)
( log x )( log 3 )
 logy = … (iii)
log 2
In (i) taking log on both sides, we get
(log 2) {log 2 + log x} = log 3 {log 3 + log y}
( log3) ( log x )

( log 2) + ( log 2)( log x ) = ( log3) +

2. In a certain town, 25% of the families own a phone and 15% own a car, 65% families own neither a
phone nor a car and 2000 families own both a car and a phone. Consider the following three statements
(1) 5% families own both a car and a phone
(2) 35% families own either a car or a phone
(3) 40,00 families live in the town, then

12
 1I(I)2324PCMT01S(A)(P2)(NP01)

(A) Only (1) and (2) are correct (B) only (1) and (3) are correct
(C) only (2) and (3) are correct (D) all (1), (2) and (3) are correct
Ans (D)
Let set P be the families who own a phone and set C be the families who own a car
n(P) = 25%, n(C) = 15%
n(P  C) = 65% and n(P  C) = 35%
Now, n(P  C) = n(P) + n(C) − n(P  C) = 25 + 15 – 35 = 5%
 x × 5% = 2000  x = 40,000

3. Let x = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}. The number of different ordered pairs (Y, Z) that can be formed such that Y  X,

Ans (D)
X = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} ; Y  X, Z  X, Y  Z = 
Number of ways = 35

4. In an experiment with 15 observations on x, the following result were available. x2 = 2830, x = 170.
One observation that was 20 was found to be wrong and was replaced by the correct value 30. Then the
corrected variance is
(A) 188.66 (B) 177.33 (C) 8.33 (D) 78.00
Ans (D)
x = 170, x2 = 2830
Increase in x = 10  x = 170 + 10 = 180
Increase in x2 = 900 − 400 = 500 then

(A) Pn − Pn − 2 = − sin2  cos2  Pn - 4 (B) Qn − Qn − 2 = −sin2  cos2  Qn − 4
(C) P4 = 1 – 2 sin2  cos2  (D) Q4 = cos2  − sin2 
Ans (A), (B), (C) and (D)
Pn − Pn − 2 = cosn  + sinn  − cosn − 2  − sinn − 2  = cosn − 2  (cos2  − 1) + sinn − 2  (sin2  − 1)

Put n = 4  P4 − P2 = (−sin2  cos2 ) P0
