11. The values of x and y satisfying the equation

2 (x/a) + y/b = 2 and x/a - y/b = 4 are

(1) x = a y = b
(2) x = 2a y = - 2b
(3) x = a y = -b
(4) x = 2a y = 2b

Correct Answer: (2) x = 2a y = - 2b

Solution:2 x/a + y/b = 2 (i)

x/a - y/b = 4 ....... (ii)

Adding equations (i) and (ii),

(3x)/a = 6

⇒x/a = 6/3 = 2

⇒ x = 2a

From equation (i),

2 * (2a)/a + y/b = 2

⇒ y/b = 2 - 4 = - 2

⇒y = - 2b

∴ x = 2a ; y = - 2b

12. Skill of archery was the test in the swayamvara of

(1) Parvati
(2) Gouri
(3) Meenakshi
(4) Draupadi

Correct Answer: (4) Draupadi

Solution:Draupadi's swayamvara was a tough test of archery skills. Her swayamvara involved a special bow, so strong and stiff that only the greatest of archers could possibly draw it.

18. The potential difference between 2 points in a current carrying conductor when 1 joule of work is done to move a charge of 1 coulomb from one point to the other

(1) 1 ampere
(2) 1 volt
(3) 1 newton
(4) 1 ohm

Correct Answer: (2) 1 volt

Solution:The potential difference between the two points is equal to the work done in moving a unit positive charge from one point to the other. The potential difference is expressed in volt (V)The potential difference between two points is said to be 1 volt if the work is done in moving 1-coulomb charge from one point to other is 1 joule.

20. Solutions of the equation

√3x²+11x+6√3 = 0 are

(1)√2, 6
(2) -2/√3 , -3√3
(3) -√2/√3 , √6
(4) √3/√2, - √6

Correct Answer: (2) -2/√3 , -3√3

Solution:√3x² + 11x + 6√3= 0

⇒√3x² + 9x + 2x + 6√3 = 0

⇒ √3x (x + 3√3) + 2 (x + 3√3) = 0

⇒(x + 3√3) (√3x + 2) = 0

⇒ x = - 3√3 or, - 2/√3
