A taste of the paper

Here are three questions from the paper. Download the full PDF for all 80 marks' worth.

Question 1 · Picture-based MCQ

Observe the diagram showing two rays from the tip A of an object AB placed between the principal focus F and the pole P of a concave mirror, and the rays after reflection. Which of the given options best describes the image of AB formed by the mirror? [1]

Concave mirror with its principal axis, centre of curvature C, focus F and pole P; an object AB stands between F and P, with two rays from its tip A striking the mirror

✓ When the object is placed between the focus F and the pole P of a concave mirror, the reflected rays diverge and appear to come from a single point behind the mirror. The image so formed is virtual, erect and magnified compared to the object.

Question 2 · Reasoning MCQ

Two coolies, A and B, lift the same load to the same height. Coolie A does it in 1 minute and coolie B does it in 2 minutes. Which of the following is true? [1]

✓ Both coolies do the same work because they lift the same load to the same height (force × distance is the same). But A does it in half the time, so the rate of doing work, that is the power spent, is double for A.

Question 3 · Numerical

A piece of iron of mass 195 g is immersed in water taken in a Eureka can. It displaces 25 mL of water. Find the density of iron in kg m⁻³. [3]

Answer: Density = 7800 kg m⁻³.

Volume of iron = volume of water displaced = 25 mL = 25 cm³.

Formula: density = mass / volume.

Density = 195 / 25 = 7.8 g cm⁻³.

Conversion: 1 g cm⁻³ = 1000 kg m⁻³, so density = 7.8 × 1000 = 7800 kg m⁻³.
