1. The assertion is incorrect because members of a homologous series differ by a fixed CH₂ unit and have similar functional groups and general formula. C₄H₁₀ is an alkane (saturated) with formula CnH2n+2, whereas C₄H₈ is an alkene and C₄H₆ an alkyne/diene — both unsaturated and belonging to different hRead more

    The assertion is incorrect because members of a homologous series differ by a fixed CH₂ unit and have similar functional groups and general formula. C₄H₁₀ is an alkane (saturated) with formula CnH2n+2, whereas C₄H₈ is an alkene and C₄H₆ an alkyne/diene — both unsaturated and belonging to different homologous series. The reason statement R is true: the listed compounds (C₄H₈, C₄H₆, C₃H₄, C₃H₆, C₂H₄, C₂H₂) are examples of unsaturated hydrocarbons. Therefore, option D is the correct choice here.

  2. (i) Defect: Myopia (nearsightedness) — image forms in front of the retina because the eye’s lens is too strong (focal length too short) or the eyeball is too long. (ii) Correction: use a concave (diverging) lens placed in front of the eye. It diverges incoming parallel rays so the eye’s lens then foRead more

    (i) Defect: Myopia (nearsightedness) — image forms in front of the retina because the eye’s lens is too strong (focal length too short) or the eyeball is too long.

    (ii) Correction: use a concave (diverging) lens placed in front of the eye. It diverges incoming parallel rays so the eye’s lens then focuses them on the retina.

  3. (i) From the ray diagram, the image formed is real, inverted, and diminished because the object is placed beyond 2F₁ of a convex lens. (ii) The magnification will be –1 when the object is placed at 2F₁, as then the image is formed at 2F₂, real, inverted, and of the same size as the object.

  4. ANSWER: [A] Explanation: Assertion (A) states that magnetic field lines never intersect, which is true. Reason (R) correctly explains this, as intersection would mean two directions of the magnetic field at one point, which is impossible. Hence, both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanatioRead more

    ANSWER: [A]

    Explanation: Assertion (A) states that magnetic field lines never intersect, which is true. Reason (R) correctly explains this, as intersection would mean two directions of the magnetic field at one point, which is impossible. Hence, both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

  5. The diagram shows myopia (nearsightedness), where the image forms in front of the retina. This defect occurs when the focal length of the eye lens is too short (III) or the eyeball becomes too long (IV). Hence, the correct option is (d) III and IV.
