 Hints & Solutions

Section A
1. Solution: C
Gases and liquids behave like fluids because they can be made to flow
or move. The molecules in any fluid are in constant, random motion,
colliding with themselves and the walls of the container.
OR
Tincture of iodine solution is made by dissolving iodine in alcohol. It
contains around 2–7% iodine dissolved in a mixture of ethanol and

2. Solution: 168X and 178X are a pair of isotopes as they have the same
atomic number but different mass numbers.

Here 8 is the atomic number and 16, 17 are mass numbers that are
different so these are isotopes.
3. Solution: C

4. Solution: A man climbing a ladder

Explanation: Distance is a scalar quantity (it has magnitude only) while
displacement is a vector quantity (it has magnitude and direction both)
Hence if we take any example considering a motion in which direction
does not change throughout the motion and we will always get
Distance = Displacement
5. Solutions: Uniform motion: When a car moving at a constant velocity
of 50Km/hr in a straight line, then the car is covering equal distances
in equal intervals of time irrespective of the length of time. Then we
can say that the car is in uniform motion.
Non-Uniform motion: When a race car constantly accelerates to win
the race, then the car travels unequal distances in equal intervals of
time. Hence such an instance can be referred to as an example of non-
uniform motion.
6. Solution: When we kick a football due to its lightweight it moves and
gives less recoil to us due to the law of conservation momentum and
when we kick a heavy stone it gives us more recoil to conserve

2
 momentum and has more inertia of rest, so we get hurt by kicking a
stone
OR
Grinding stone is like a wheel and at every point of the wheel at the
periphery, the direction of linear velocity is tangential due to the
inertia of motion, so that is why the sparks go tangential
7. Solution (c): From the universal law of gravitation we have

Work done = 15×5 = 75 J
The work done is 75 Joule
OR
Mass of object (m) = 10 Kg.
Height (h) = 6 m.
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8m/s2
Potential Energy of Object = mgh

The energy possessed by an object is 588 Joule.
10. Solution: B
11. Solution: If the organization of a cell is destroyed due to some
physical or chemical influence then the cell will not be able to perform
its basic functions like digestion, excretion, respiration etc. This may
stop all the life activities and the life of an individual may come to an
end.
12. Solution - Penicillin antibiotics stop bacteria from multiplying by
preventing bacteria from forming the walls that surround them. The
walls are necessary to protect the bacteria from their environment,
and to keep the contents of the bacterial cell together. Bacteria cannot
survive without a cell wall.

3
13. Solution - Here, ground-level or "bad" ozone is an air pollutant that
is harmful to breathe and it damages crops, trees, and other
vegetation. The stratosphere or "good" ozone layer extends upward
from about 6 to 30 miles and protects life on Earth from the sun's
harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays.
14. Solution: C Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.

15. Solution - b) Both A and R are true, R is not the correct explanation
of A
16. Solution (d): In a v-t graph, when the curve is parallel to the time
axis, then it means the body is moving with uniform velocity.

mass is still 10 kg
c. Solution (c): Acceleration due to gravity on the moon is one-sixth
of earth.
d. Solution (a): On the moon, the acceleration due to gravity is

Sound waves follow the same laws of reflection. The directions in
which the sound is incident and is reflected make equal angles with
the normal to the reflecting surface, and the three are in the same
plane.
The speed of sound in air is equal to 332 m/s
Hence, all the statements mentioned in the three options are correct.
Thus D is the correct Solution.

Section B

21. Solution - Plasma Membrane is a type of phospholipid layer available

in all types of cells. It protects the protoplasm and checks the passage
of molecules inside the cell. Whereas the cell wall is found in the plant
cell, fungi, bacteria only. It protects the cell from the external shocks,
and also provides rigidity and shape to the cell. Therefore, the cell wall
is the outermost boundary of the cell, on the other hand, the plasma
membrane is present in the inner lining of the cell.
OR
Solution - a) Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue found in many
parts of the body. It can bend a bit but resists stretching. Its main
function is to connect bones together. It is also found in the joints, the
rib cage, the ear, the nose, the throat, and between the bones of the
back.
b) Areolar tissue is the most widely distributed connective tissue in the
animal body. Located in the skin, areolar tissue binds the outer layers
of the skin to the muscles lying underneath. They are also found in,

5
 around the mucous membranes, surrounding nerves, blood vessels,
and various other body organs.

22. Solution - Chloroplast and mitochondria have their own DNA, RNA

mathematically written as:

The concentration of solution =

25. Solution:

When a body is thrown vertically upwards against the force of

gravity, its Kinetic energy goes on decreasing as its velocity

6
 decreases due to the gravitational force acting downwards. At
maximum height, the Kinetic energy becomes zero as the velocity
becomes zero and all the energy of the body is converted into
potential energy. Hence this states that as KE decreases PE increases

26. Solution: Let the initial velocity at the first shot be u, then from the
third equation of motion
𝑣 2 = 𝑢2 + 2𝑎𝑆
0 = 𝑢2 − 2𝑔(100)
𝑢2 = 2𝑔(100)

Now, for the second shot similarly

(2𝑢)2 = 2𝑔(𝐻)
4𝑢2 = 2𝑔𝐻

4 (2𝑔(100)) = 2𝑔𝐻

𝐻 = 400 𝑚

28. Solution - a) Areolar tissue is the most widely distributed connective

tissue in the animal body. Assists in tissue-repair of muscles and skin
b) Simple cuboidal epithelium consists of single-layer cells that are as
tall as they are wide. The important functions of the simple cuboidal
epithelium are secretion and absorption. This epithelial type is found
in the small collecting ducts of the kidneys, pancreas, and salivary
glands.

7
 29. Solution - 'Cartilage' is the tissue that smoothens bone
surfaces at joints. It is an elastic tissue that smoothes and protects the
joints. It is present at the end of bones, rib cage, nose, and ear. It is
an elastic tissue. It protects the joints.

30. Solution: (i) The level of water does not change when salt is dissolved
in water because the salt particles dissociate and occupy the
intermolecular spaces between the water particles. Since only the
empty spaces are occupied, the level of water does not increase.

(ii) Based on the following points, we can distinguish between the

Aqueous and Non-aqueous solutions.

31. Solution: (a) Mass of given sample = Number of moles × Molar

mass

Thus, the mass of 5 moles of CO2 = 5 × 44 (Molar mass of CO2 =

44g/mole) = 220 g

The mass of 5 moles of H2O = 5 × 18 (Molar mass of H2O =

18g/mole) = 90 g

Therefore, we can say that 5 moles of CO2 and 5 moles of H2O do not
have the same mass.

8
 (b) Number of moles of given sample:

Thus, the number of moles of 240 g of calcium:

n1 =

n1 = 6

The number of moles of 240 g magnesium:

n2 =

n2 = 10

Therefore, the ratio of the number of moles: n1: n2

6:10

3:5

Now, we can say that 240 g of calcium and 240 g magnesium

elements have a mole ratio of 3:5.
32. Solution: (a) Octet means the presence of 8 electrons in the
outermost shell of an atom which means the atom is stable and has
the electron arrangement of inert gas. Every atom wants to attain
stability so they combine with one another and by gaining or losing or
mutually sharing electrons they reach the octet state.
(b) Structure of magnesium whose atomic number is 12- 2, 8, 2

Structure of phosphorus whose atomic number is 15- 2, 8, 5

9
33. Solution: The change in momentum of the body is given as
= 𝑚(𝑣 − 𝑢)
Considering the final direction of the object as positive

= 𝑚(2 − (−10)) = 𝑚(12) = 120 𝑁 𝑠

Now, from the second law of motion, force is the rate of change of
momentum, therefore
120
𝐹= = 30 𝑁
4
And also
𝐹 = 𝑚𝑎
30 = 𝑚𝑎
𝐹
𝑎= = 3 𝑚/𝑠
𝑚
Section D
34. (2)Solution:
(a) Molecules of many elements, such as argon (Ar), helium (He),
neon (Ne), etc., are made up of only one atom of the element
because:
i. These elements are noble gases that are unreactive in nature.
ii. They have completely filled outermost shells.
iii. As a result, they are unable to combine with any other element.
iv. Hence, they exist independently in the form of a single atom.
(b) Difference between ion and atom may be encountered as:

10
 OR
Solution: a) Solvent dissolves solute particles by overcoming the
intermolecular forces between the solute (or one can call it the solute-
solute interaction). So, to dissolve a solute, the solute-solute
interaction must be broken by the solvent particles.
When the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the solvent
particles increases, causing to break the solute-solute interactions
more effectively. This allows the addition of more solute particles, as
there is space to accommodate more solute particles. So the solubility
increases with an increase in temperature. Lowering the temperature
does the opposite. It decreases the solubility of the solute.
(b) The phenomenon where the path of the light beam is visible as a
result of scattering of light by colloidal particles is called the Tyndall
effect. The size of the particle should be such that it should scatter
light. Particles that are very small (in the case of true solutions) or
very large (in the case of suspensions) do not scatter light. So, the
Tyndall effect is not observed in true solutions or suspensions.
This is the general case. In certain special cases, if the particle size of
suspension is small enough to scatter light, then suspensions also
show the Tyndall effect.

(c) Cream and milk differ in their density. The cream is denser than
milk. When milk is churned (shaking or spinning of a container
containing milk by applying a rotating force) the denser particles
(cream) tend to remain at the bottom, whereas the lighter particles
(milk) stay at the top, along with the direction of spin. This process is
called centrifugation.

present.
Cell division occurs through Cell division occurs by mitosis.
binary fission
b) If ever the plasma membrane ruptures or breakdown then the cell
will not be able to exchange material from its surroundings by
diffusion. As a result, the protoplasmic material will disappear and
the cell will die.
c) Golgi apparatus performs the function of a storage modification
and packaging of products. If the Golgi apparatus is not there then
materials synthesized by the cell will not be packaged and
transported.

36. Solution: (c)

(i)Potential energy also gets doubled as potential energy is directly
proportional to the height of the object.
(ii) A stationary stone lying at the top of a hill has only potential
energy.

(Since, the stone only possess height and not the velocity.)

When the stone reaches the bottom of the hill, it has only kinetic
energy.

(Since, on reaching the bottom height would be reduced to zero But

the stone would have gained Velocity)

(iii)Work done in climbing, w = 2500J

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10m/s2

Height above the ground = 5m

12
 We know,

W = mgh
