4. An ideal coil of 10 H is connected in series with a resistance of 5 Ω and a battery of 5 V. Two seconds after the connection is made, the current flowing (in amperes) in the circuit is:

(1) (1 − e⁻¹)
(2)1−e
(3) e
(4) e⁻¹

Correct Answer: (1) (1 − e⁻¹)

Solution:

Inductance of the coil = 10 H
Resistance = 5Ω
Voltage of battery = 5V
Time, t = 2 sec
Maximum current,

I = E / R = 5 / 5 = 1A

The required amount of current flowing through the circuit is given by

5. If P(n): 2n < n!, n ∈ N then

P(n) is true for n

(1) > 2
(2) > 3
(3) < 4
(4) None of these

Correct Answer: (4) None of these

Solution:P(n) : 2n < n!
When n = 1,
P(1) : 2 > 1
When n = 2
P(2) : 4 > 2
When n = 3,
P(3) : 6 = 3 × 2
When n = 4
P(4) : 8 < 4!
(∵ 4! = 4 × 3 × 2)

6. Charri dance of Haryana is related to which of the following festivals?

7. For three sets A, B, C if A ⊂ B, B ⊂ C then

(1) A ∪ B ⊂ C
(2) C ⊂ A ∪ B
(3) A − B = C
(4) None of these

Correct Answer: (1) A ∪ B ⊂ C

Solution:A = {1, 2, 3}
B = {1, 2, 3, 4}
C = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
A ∪ B = {1, 2, 3, 4}
∴ A ∪ B ⊂ C
