1. A shaving mirror is constructed in such way that a man at a distance of 30 cm from the mirror sees his image magnified 1.33 times. Then the radius of curvature of the mirror is: ? [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 20.09.2022 (Shift-II)]

Correct Answer: (3) 34.25 cm
Note:

u = 30 cm, m = 1.33

⇒  m= -V/U ⇒ 1.33 = - V/- 30

⇒ V=39.9 cm ∼ 40 cm

Now, (अब) 1/f = 1/V + 1/U

1/f = 1/40 + 1/30 = 1/f = 3 + 4/120

1/f = 7/120

f = 120/7 = 17.14

2. Two resistors of 6Ω and 4Ω in series combination are connected to a 12 V battery. The effective current of the circuit will be: [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 20.09.2022 (Shift-II)]

Correct Answer: (4) 1.2 Amp
Note:

For series connection, the resultant resistance = R1 + R2 = 6Ω +4Ω=10Ω

• According to Ohm's law, the current, I, flowing through a circuit is directly proportional to the voltage, V, and inversely proportional to the resistance, R

• It is expressed as I = V/R

• ∴ I= 12/10= 1.2 Ampere

 

3. The power of a bulb is 40 W. Then the energy in Si units consumed by it in 100 s is: [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 20.09.2022 (Shift-II)]

Correct Answer: (4) 4000 j
Note:

If power is delivered at a constant rate, then then the energy can be found by

• E=P x T

• So, according to the question, energy = 40 x 100

= 4000 Joules

4. Twinkling of stars occurs because: [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 20.09.2022 (Shift-II)]

Correct Answer: (4) change in the density of different layers of air causes change in refractive Index continuously
Note:

The twinkling of stars is due to atmospheric refraction of star-light.

• The atmosphere is made of several layers of different densities and the refractive indices keep on changing continuously.

• As a result, the path of light rays from the star keeps on changing their path continuously.

• So, the number of rays entering, the pupil of eye goes on changing with time and the stars appear twinkling.

5. Magnetic field lines appear to move inside a bar magnet from: [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 20.09.2022 (Shift-II)]

Correct Answer: (3) south pole to north pole
Note:

The magnetic forces around the area of a magnet is known as a magnetic field.

• By convention, these field lines seem to originate from the north pole and end into the south pole of a bar magnet.

• The direction inverses inside the magnet i.e.. they appear to move from the south pole towards the north pole.

6. Dependence on the resistance R of a coil for the electromagnetically induced EMF and induced current in a coil follows: [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 20.09.2022 (Shift-II)]

Correct Answer: (1) induced EMF does not depend on R but induced current does
Note:

Induced EMF does not depend on R but induced current does.

 

7. A film projector magnifies a film of area 100 cm² on screen. If linear magnification is 4, then area of magnified image on screen will be: [RRB Group 'D' CET Exam, 20.09.2022 (Shift-II)]

Correct Answer: (4) 1600 cm²
Note:

m = 4

∴ Real magnification

= m² = (4)² = 16

Surface area of film image on Screen = 16 * 100 = 1600 cm²

8. If the current flowing through a resistance of 5 ohm is 6 amp, then the current flowing through another resistance of 10 ohm connected in series to it is................ [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 27.09.2022 (Shift-I)]

Correct Answer: (4) 3 amp
Note:

V = IR

V₁ = I₁R₁ = 5 * 6 =30 ....(i)

V  = I R  = I * 10 = 10I .....(ii)

Comparing (i) & (ii)

101 = 30

⇒ I = 30/10 = 3

∴ I  = 3A

9. If an image formed after reflection form a mirror is virtual and highly diminished, then the position of the object and type of mirror is: [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 27.09.2022 (Shift-I)]

Correct Answer: (3) Infinity and convex mirror
Note:

When an object is placed at infinity in front of a convex mirror, the image is formed at the focus behind the convex mirror.

• The image formed is virtual and erect, and much smaller than the object (or highly diminished).

10. _______is a device used for varying the resistance of an electrical circuit. [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 27.09.2022 (Shift-I)]

Correct Answer: (3) Rheostat
Note:

A rheostat is a variable resistor which is used in a circuit to change the resistance of the circuit so that the current changes.

• Since current and resistance are inversely proportional, current decreases with an increase in the resistance of the rheostat and vice versa.
