1. In an experiment four quantities a, b, c and d are measured with percentage error 1%, 2%, 3% and 4%
respectively. Quantity P is calculated as follows :
a 3b2
P= % error in P is
cd
(A) 14% (B) 10% (C) 7% (D) 4%
1. (A)
a 3b2
1. Given that: P =
cd
⎛ ∆a ⎞
error contributed by a = 3 × ⎜⎜ ×100⎟⎟⎟
⎜⎝ a ⎠
= 3 × 1%
= 3%
⎛ ∆b ⎞
error contributed by b = 2 × ⎜⎜ ×100⎟⎟⎟
⎜⎝ b ⎠
= 2 × 2%
= 4%
⎛ ∆c ⎞
error contributed by c = ⎜⎜ ×100⎟⎟⎟ = 3%
⎜⎝ c ⎠
⎛ ∆d ⎞
error contributed by d = ⎜⎜ ×100⎟⎟⎟ = 4%
⎜⎝ d ⎠
∴ Percentage error in P is given as,
∆p
×100 =(error contributed by a)+(error contributed by b)+(error contributed by c)+(error contributed by d)
p
= 3% + 4% + 3% + 4%

3. A stone falls freely under gravity. It covers distances h1, h2 and h3 in the first 5 seconds, the next 5 seconds
and the next 5 seconds respectively. The relation between h1, h2 and h3 is
h h
(A) h1 = 2h2 = 3h3 (B) h1 = 2 = 3 (C) h2 = 3h1 and h3 = 3h2 (D) h1 = h2 = h3

3. (B)
3. At point A, u = 0 A u=0
h1 t = 5s
1 1
∴ h1 = gt2 = × 10 × 25 h2
B
2 2 t = 5s
C
∴ h1 = 125 m
h3 t = 5s
Now, v = u + gt = 0 + 10(5) D
∴ v = 50 m/s
At point B, final velocity from A to B = initial velocity at B
1
∴ h2 = ut + gt2 = 50 × 5 + × 10 × 25
2
Now, h2 = 375 m
v = u + gt = 50 + 10(5)
∴ v = 100 m/s
Similarly, At point C, we get,
h3 = 625 m
∴ h1 : h2 : h3 = 125 : 375 : 625
=1:3:5

i.e., h1 = 2 = 3

4. (A)
4. Since all three blocks are moving up with a constant speed v, acceleration a is zero.
We know, F = ma
∴ F = 0 [∵ a = 0] ∴ net force is zero.

5. The upper half of an inclined plane of inclination θ is perfectly smooth while lower half is rough. A block

7. An explosion breaks a rock into three parts in a horizontal plane. Two of them go off at right angles to each
other. The first part of mass 1 kg moves with a speed of 12 ms–1 and the second part of mass 2 kg moves
with 8 ms–1 speed. If the third part flies off with 4 ms–1 speed, then its mass is
(A) 3 kg (B) 5 kg (C) 7 kg (D) 17 kg
7. (B)
7. From law of conservation of momentum,

P1 + P2 + P3 = 0

Let P1 and P2 go off at right angles to each other.

40. For a normal eye, the cornea of eye provides a converging power of 40 D and the least converging power of
the eye lens behind the cornea is 20 D. Using this information, the distance between the retina and the
cornea - eye lens can be estimated to be
(A) 5 cm (B) 2.5 cm (C) 1.67 cm (D) 1.5 cm
