3. (b)
Sol. The magnetic flux linked with the primary coil is given by
𝜙 = 𝜙0 + 4𝑡

𝑑𝑡 𝑑𝑡 0
= 4 V (as 𝜙0 = constant)
Also, we have
𝑁𝑝 = 50 and 𝑁𝑠 = 1500
As we know that voltage across primary and secondary coil is directly proportional to the no. of turns

 Two arcs can also be seen as the two resistances in parallel combination. So, the potential across
them will be same i.e.
V1 = V2
i1R1 = i2R2 ... (iv)
where, R1 and R2 = Resistance of respective segments
The wire is uniform so

28. (b)
Sol. The means or average value of alternating current or e.m.f during a half cycle is given by
Im = 0.6361, or Em = 0.636E.
During the next half cycle, the mean value of ac will be equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.
For this reason, the average value of ac over a complete cycle is always zero. So, the average value
is always defined over a half cycle of ac.
29. (b)
Sol. Till front side of the loop moves into the field the emf included e = Bvl across it. When rear side comes

30. (d)
Sol. Let us first consider a case when the total flux associated with one coil links with the other, i.e. a case
of maximum flux linkage. Consider two coils placed adjacent to each other. Thus

𝑀12 = and 𝑀21 =
𝑖1 i2
and
𝑁1 𝜙𝐵1 N2 𝜙B2
𝐿1 = and 𝐿2 =
𝑖1 i2
If all the flux of coil 2 links coil 1 and vice versa, then
𝜙B2 = 𝜙B1
As M12 = M21 = M
Thus we get
𝑁1 𝑁2 𝜙𝐵1 𝜙𝐵1
𝑀12 𝑀21 = 𝑀2 = = 𝐿1 𝐿2

𝜇0 2𝐼
Similarly, if current is 2I, then Magnetic field = =2B

So, resultant magnetic field

33. (d)

where, 𝑣𝜌 = perpendicular velocity of particle and
𝑞 = charge on particle.
As, momentum, 𝑝 = 𝑚𝑣𝑝

35. (a)
Sol. Magnetic field (B) will not apply any force. Only electric field E will apply a force opposite to velocity
of the electron hence, speed decreases.
36. (c)

motion.

37. (c)
Sol. When a charged particle q is moving in a uniform magnetic field B with velocity v such that angle
between v and B is ,
then the charge q experiences a force which is given by
F = q(v × B) = qvB sin 
If  = 0° or 180°, then sin  = 0
 F = qvB sin  = 0
Since, force on charged particle is non-zero, angle between v and B can have any value other than
0° and 180°
38. (c)
Sol. When a charged particle moves through a perpendicular magnetic field, then a magnetic force acts
on it which changes the direction of particle but does not alter the magnitude of its velocity (i.e., speed).

So, speed of charged particle remains unchanged i.e., of velocity magnitude remains constant.
39. (a)
Sol. Given, the length of a uniform
conducting wire, 𝐿 = 12𝑎
The resistance of a uniform conducting wire = 𝑅
We know that, magnetic dipole
moment, 𝑀 = 𝑛/𝐴
Here, 𝑙 is the current in the loop.
𝐴 is the area of the coil,
𝑛 is the number of loops.
For case(1) :
An equilateral triangle of side 𝑎.
Total wire length = 𝑛 × Perimeter of the triangle
12𝑎 = 𝑛 × 3𝑎 ⇒ 𝑛 = 4

√3 2
Area of the triangle, 𝐴 = 𝑎
4
Magnetic dipole moment, 𝑀 = 𝑛I𝐴
√3 2
⇒ 𝑀 = 4I × 𝑎 ⇒ 𝑀 = √3I𝑎2
4
For case (2): A square of side 𝑎.
Total wire length = 𝑛 × Perimeter of the square
12𝑎 = 𝑛 × 4𝑎 ⇒ 𝑛 = 3

 Area of the square loop, 𝐴 = 𝑎2
Magnetic dipole moment, 𝑀 = 𝑛I𝐴 ⇒ 𝑀 = 3I𝑎2

40. (d)
Sol. When wire of length 𝐿 is bent in the form of a circle of radius 𝑅, then
𝐿 = 2𝜋𝑅
𝐿
⇒ 𝑅 =

∴ Magnetic moment, 𝑀 = I𝐴 = 𝐼(𝜋𝑅 2 )
𝐿 2 I𝜋𝐿2 I𝐿2
= I⋅𝜋( ) = = Am2
2𝜋 4𝜋 2 4𝜋
41. (c)
Sol. Magnetic moment is from 𝑆 to N
So, 𝑀net = √𝑀2 + 𝑀2 + 2𝑀2 cos 𝜃
𝑀met will be maximum if cos 𝜃 is
maximum. cos 𝜃 will be maximum when 𝜃 will be minimum.
So, at 𝜃 = 30∘ , 𝑀met will be maximum.

Magnitude of induced emf,

𝑒= = (5𝑡 2 + 3𝑡 + 16) = 10t + 3
𝑑𝑡 𝑑𝑡
At 𝑡 = 3 s,
𝑒3 = 10 × 3 + 3 = 33 V
At 𝑡 = 4 s
𝑒4 = 10 × 4 + 3 = 43 V
∴ Induced emf in coil at the fourth second is given as
𝑒 = 𝑒4 − 𝑒3 = 43 − 33 = 10 V
45. (a)
Sol. Induced emf in a coil is given by
𝑑𝜙
𝐸 = |− |
𝑑𝑡

anandmani.com anand_mani16 t.me/anandmani001 support@fundabox.in

 Given, 𝜙 = 50𝑡 2 + 4 and resistance, 𝑅 = 400Ω
𝑑𝜙
So, 𝐸 = |− | = |100𝑡|𝑡=2 = 200 V
𝑑𝑡 𝑡=2
So, current in the coil will be
𝐸 200 1
𝐼= = = = 0.5 A
𝑅 400 2
46. (b)
Sol. From Faraday's second law, emf induced in the circuit
Δ𝜙
𝑒=
Δ𝑡
If 𝑅 is the resistance of the circuit, then
𝑒 Δ𝜙
𝑖= =
𝑅 𝑅Δ𝑡
Thus, charge passing through the circuit,
𝑞 = 𝑖 × Δ𝑡
Δ𝜙 Δ𝜙
𝑞 = ⋅ Δ𝑡 ⇒ 𝑞 =
𝑅Δ𝑡 𝑅
47. (c)
Sol. Total charge induced in a conducting loop is
𝑞 = ∫ 𝑖𝑑𝑡
𝑒
As, 𝑖 =
𝑅
𝑒 1
∴ 𝑞=∫ 𝑑𝑡 = ∫ 𝑒𝑑𝑡
𝑅 𝑅
𝑑𝜙
𝑒=−
𝑑𝑡
1 𝑑𝜙 1
∴ 𝑞 = ∫ (− ) 𝑑𝑡 = ∫ 𝑑𝜙
𝑅 𝑑𝑡 𝑅

Hence, total charge induced in the conducting loop depends upon resistance of loop and change in
magnetic flux.
48. (a)
Sol. Eddy currents are the currents induced in the body of a conductor when the amount of magnetic flux
linked with the conductor changes.
e.g. when we move a metal plate out of a magnetic field, the relative motion of the field and the
conductor again induces a current in the conductor for which conduction electrons move in closed
loops forming circular eddy currents in such a way that it opposes the magnetic field that created it as
if the electrons are caught in an eddy or whirlpool. It is also called Foucault current.

Sol. Colourblindness is a recessive sex-linked trait. Man is colourblind therefore his genotype is X'Y and
woman is normal so her genotype is XX. The cross can be illustrated as:

Hence, all carrier daughters and all normal sons are produced.

Sol. Linked genes are those genes which do not show independent assortment but remain together
because they are present on the same chromosome. In linkage there is a tendency to maintain the
parental gene combination except for occasional crossovers.
125. (a)
Sol. The crossing between two heterozygous (Tt) plants would give phenotypic ratio of 3 tall : 1 dwarf.
If plants obtained were 500, then the number of tall and dwarf plants will be 375 and 125 respectively.
126. (d)
Sol. Turner's syndrome is one of the example of aneuploidy that occurs due to absence of X chromosome.
Individuals having a single X chromosome 2A+XO (45) have female sexual differentiation but ovaries
are rudimentary. Other associated phenotypes of this condition are short stature, webbed-neck, broad
chest, lack of secondary sexual characteristics and sterility. Thus, any imbalance in the copies of the
sex chromosomes may disrupt the genetic information necessary for normal sexual development.
127. (c)
Sol. Human skin colour is a polygenic trait.
128. (d)
Sol. Repeated or repetitive sequences make up a large portion of human genome. Repetitive sequences
are nucleotide sequences that are repeated many times, sometimes hundred to thousand times. They
have no direct coding function but provide information as to chromosome structure, dynamics and
evolution. Approximately 1 million copies of short 5-8 base pair repeated sequences are clustered
around centromeres and near the ends
129. (a)
Sol. UAA is a non-sense codon. It signals for polypeptide chain termination. Hence, only 24 amino acids
chain will be formed.
130. (b)
Sol. At 5' end of hnRNA, a cap is formed by modification of GTP into 7-methyl guanosine or 7mGppp. This
process is called capping and it protects the mRNA from degradation by nucleases.

131. (c)
Sol. mRNA strand is complementary to one of the DNA strands i.e., template strand. In RNA, uracil is
present instead of thymine which is complementary to adenine. Cytosine and guanine are also
complementary to each other. Hence, the sequence of bases in transcript would be CGAAUCCGUU.
132. (a)
Sol. Bacteria which were infected with viruses that had radioactive DNA (incorporated with 32P) were
radioactive, indicating that DNA was the material that passed from the virus to the bacteria. Bacteria
that were infected with viruses that had radioactive proteins (incorporated with 355) were not
radioactive. This is because, DNA is the genetic material that is passed from virus to bacteria.
133. (d)
Sol. Nucleosomes constitute the repeating unit of a structure in nucleus called chromatin, thread-like
stained (coloured) bodies seen in nucleus. The nucleosomes in chromatin are seen as 'beads on-
string' structure when viewed under electron microscope.
134. (d)
Sol. When bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae are grown on a culture plate, some produce smooth shiny
colonies (5) while others produce rough colonies (R). This is because the 5 strain bacteria have a
mucous (polysaccharide) coat, while R strain does not. Mice infected with the 5 strain (virulent) die
from pneumonia infection but mice infected with the R strain do not develop pneumonia. In Griffith's
experiment, some 'transforming principle', transferred from the heat-killed 5 strain, had enabled the R
strain to synthesise a smooth polysaccharide coat and become virulent which must be due to the
transfer of the genetic material. This is known as transformation.
135. (c)
Sol. DNA-polymerase can polymerise nucleotides only in 5' ➔ 3' direction on
3' ➔ 5' strand because it adds them at the 3' end.
136. (b)
Sol. Sickle cell anaemia is caused due to point mutation in which at the 6th position of beta globin chain,
glutamic acid i replaced by valine. Thus, it is a qualitative defect in functioning of globin molecules.
137. (b)
Sol. In human beings, female contains XX sex chromosomes and produces only one type of egg containing
44A + X chromosomes. Males on the other hand produces two types of sperms - X containing and Y
containing. A daughter is produced when the ovum is fertilised by sperm that contains X chromosome.
Since, 5 daughters are produced in the family, thus, X containing sperm have always fertilised the
ovum.
138. (d)
Sol. ln the A BO blood group system, groups A, B, AB and O are distinguished by whether the red blood
cells are agglutinated by anti -A or anti-B antibody. The erythrocytes of both IB homozygotes and IB/IO
heterozygote are agglutinated by anti - B antibody, o both are group B. Similarly group A includes
both IA homozygote and IA/IB heterozygotes. Alleles IA and IB are both dominant to IO. The red cells of
IO homozygotes are not agglutinated by antibodies directed against A or B. They belong to group O.
The red blood cells of group AB individuals carry both A and B antigens. They are agglutinated by
both anti A and anti B, and are therefore group AB. Since both are expressed together, alleles I A and
IB are codominant.
139. (c)
Sol. Codominant alleles are the alleles present together in heterozygous individual but neither show
dominant-recessive relationship nor show intermediate condition but express their traits
independently.
Here the codominant alleles are shown by the same capital letter with different superscripts, e.g .,
IA,IB, HbA, HbS

Sol. The Human Genome Project was coordinated by the US Department of Energy and the National
Institute of Health.
145. (a)
Sol. Most of the gene mutations involve a change in only a single nucleotide or nitrogen base of the cistron.
These gene mutations are called point mutations, e.g., sickle cell anemia in which polypeptide chain
coding for haemoglobin contains valine instead of glutamic acid due to substitution of T by A in second
position of triplet codon.
146. (a)
Sol. During elongation, the ribosome moves along the mRNA in stepwise manner from start codon to stop
codon (5' → 3'), one codon ahead each time. This movement is called translocation.
147. (a)
Sol. Codon is a sequence of three nucleotides coding for one amino acid in a polypeptide chain. There are
four different types of nucleotides - A, T, G and C and since a codon is a triplet thus 64 (4 x 4 x 4)
distinct triplets of purine or pyrimidine bases determine the 20 different amino acids.
148. (a)
Sol. Meselson and Stahl (1958) experimentally proved semi-conservative nature of D A replication using
heavy isotope of nitrogen, 15N in E. coli bacteria.
149. (b)
Sol. In 1944, Avery, Macleod and McCarty purified biochemicals from the heat killed S-type bacteria into
three components-DNA, carbohydrate and protein. DNA fraction was further divided into two parts
one with deoxyribonuclease or DNase and the other without it. The four components were then added
to separate culture tube containing R-type were allowed to remain undisturbed for some time. They
were then analysed for bacteria population. Only DNA of S-type can change R-type of bacteria into
S-type. Therefore, the character of gene of virulence is located in DNA. Genes of other characters
would similarly be located in this chemical or molecular basis of inheritance.

Sol. Total number of nucleotides present in the given D A molecule is 50. Therefore, total number of
nitrogen base i also 50. Number of base pairs formed from 50 nitrogen bases is 25. As two successive
base pair are separated by a distance of 3.4A, therefore the length of

Sol. In a stable population, for a gene with two alleles, 'X (dominant) and 'a' (recessive), if the frequency
of 'X is p and the frequency of 'a' is q, then the frequencies of the three possible genotypes (AA, Aa
and aa) can be expressed by the Hardy-Weinberg equation:
