7)

Any ray passing through optical center of concave lens will go undeviated.

8) Human eye can change the focal length of the eye lens to see the objects situated at various
 distances from the eye. This ability of eye is called accommodation.

9) A person's eye colour results from pigmentation of a structure called the iris.

10)

The change in the focal length of eye lens is caused by action of Ciliary muscles.

11)

Astigmatism is caused by an error in the shape of the cornea.

16) Ethanol (C2H5OH) doesn’t give OH– (hydroxide ions) in aqueous medium.

17) Zn(s) + → ZnSO4(aq) +

18) Except lime all have carbonate anion so after treatment with acid all produces CO2 gas.

20) Increase in the OH– ion concentration, leads to an increase in the pH of solution.

21) Vanilla essence is an olfactory indicator by which we can identify nature of medium
weather it is acid or base.

22) According to Arrhenius theory, acids are those substances which produce hydrogen ions
when we dissolve them into water.

23) Sodium hydrogen carbonate is a weak base so it is used to neutralize the acid.

24) Conceptual

25) CaCO3 + 2HCl → CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O

CO2 + Ca(OH)2 → CaCO3 + H2O

Basicity HCl →1, HNO3 – 1, H3PO4 →3 HNO2 - 1

28) (1) I and IV

29)

Basicity is a measure of how many hydrogen atoms can be replaced by a base in an acid. For
H3PO4 number of replaced hydrogen atoms is 3, so the basicity is 3.

30)

The pH of a solution is a measure of its acidic strength, basic strength and concentration of
hydrogen ions.The pH of a solution is a measure of its acidic strength, basic strength and
concentration of hydrogen ions.

38) During reabsorption, substances considered necessary in the filtrate are reabsorbed by
renal tubules, maximum reabsorption occurs in PCT because of the presence of microvilli.

39) Kidney filters blood, the process of cleaning happens in the nephrons present in kidneys in
three stages. They are glomerular filtration/ultrafiltration, reabsorption and tubular secretion.

Explanation:

47) a7 = 34 ⇒ a + 6d = 34
a13 = 64 ⇒ a + 12d = 64
On solving, d = 5
a + 6d = 34 ⇒ a = 34 – 30 = 4
a18= a + 17d = 4 + 17 × 5
= 4 + 85 = 89

50) Given sequence is an A.P.

Hence, a = ,d= and n = 10

an = a + (n – 1)d
or, a10 =

Hence, a10 =
51) We have
These consective knows of A.P = k + 9, 2b – 1, 2b + 7
(Hent) then,
(k + 9 + (2k + 7) = 2(2k – 1) {(a + c = 2b)}
⇒ k + 9 + 2k + 7 = 4k – 2
3k + 16 = 4k – 2
16 + 2 = 4k – 3R
18 = k

54) cos A + cos2 A = 1

Now sin2 A (1 + sin2 A)
as cos A = sin2 A
∴ sin2A (1 + sin2A) = cos A (1 + cos A)
= cos A + cos2 A = 1

4 cubes do not have any coloured face.

97) = 5 cm.
Smaller cubes having "2" surface painted
= 12 (N – 2)1
= 12 (5 – 2)
= 12 × 3
= 36

98) (N)3 = 216

⇒ N=6
Atleast "2" surface painted
= 12 (N – 2) + 8
= 12 (6 – 2) + 8
= 12 × 4 + 8
= 48 + 8
= 56

99) Total number of cubes in given solid

= 40
So, the answer is option (2).

100) Number of smaller cubes having only two surfaces painted with red and blue colour
respectively = Number of smaller cubes at 4 edge + Number of smaller cubes at 4 corners
= (n – 2) × 4 + 4 = 12 + 4 = 16.
