CSIR Lifesciences December 2011 part A solved


Part A

       1.            1. What is the angle θ  in the quadrant of a circle shown below? 
                             

1.       135°
2.      90°
3.      120°
4.       May have any value between 90° and 120°

      2.             2. In ∆ ABC, angle A is larger than angle C and smaller than angle B by the same 
                   amount. If  angle B is 67°, angle C is
1.       1. 67°
2.      2. 53°
3.      3. 60°
4.      4. 57°
      3.            See the following mathematical manipulations.
(i) Let x = 5
(ii) then x2-25~x-5
(iii) (x -5) (x + 5) = x -5
(iv) x + 5 = 1 [cancelling (x -5) from both sides]
(v) 10 = 1 [Putting x = 5]

Which of the above is the wrong step?

1.        (i) to (ii)
2.       (iii) to (iv)
3.       (ii) to (ii i)
4.       (iv) to (v)
      4.            3.  Inner planets of the solar system are rocky, whereas outer planets are gaseous. One of the reasons for this is that
1. Solar heat drove away the gases to the outer region of the solar system
2. Gravitational pull of the sun pulled all rocky material to the inner solar system
3. Outer planets are larger than the inner planets
4. Comets delivered the gaseous materials to the outer planets

      5.             4.The number of craters observed due to meteoritic impacts during the early stages of formation, is less on the Earth than that on the Moon because
1. formation of craters on the Earth was difficult due to the presence of hard rocks
2. impacting bodies on the Earth were smaller in size
3. craters on the Earth are now covered by ocean water
4. earlier craters are not preserved due to continuous modification of Earth's surface by geological processes

      6.           
                          5. During a total solar eclipse occurring at noon, it becomes dark enough for a few minutes for stars to become visible. The stars that are seen are those which will be seen from the same location

1. on the following night only
2. on the night one month later
3. on the night three months later
4. on the night six months later
      7.            6.The variation of solubilities of two compounds X and Y in water with temperature is depicted below. Which of the following statements are true ? 
                        

1. Solubility of Y is less than that of X
2. Solubility of X varies with temperature
3. Solubilities of X and Y are the same at 75 °C
4.Solubilities of X and Y are independent of temperature.

     8.             7.Living beings get energy from food through the process of aerobic respiration. One of the reactants are
1. CO2
2. Water vapor
3. O2
4. Phosphorous

      9.            8.Restriction endonuclease cleaves DNA molecules at specific recognition sites. One such enzyme has four recognition sites on circular DNA molecule. After complete digestion, how many fragments would be produced upon reaction with this enzyme.

1. 4
2. 5
3. 3
4. 6

  10.             9.Which of the statements about the concentration of Co2 in the Earth’s atmosphere is true?
1. It was the highest in the very early atmosphere of the Earth
2, It has steadily decreased since the formation of the Earth's atmosphere
3. It has steadily increased since the formation of the Earth’s atmosphere
4. Its levels today are the highest in the Earth’s history

   11.             10.Magnesium powder, placed in an air-tight glass container at 1.0 bar, is burnt by focusing sunlight. Part of the magnesium burns off and some is left behind. The pressure of the air in the container after it has returned to room temperature is
approximately
1. 1 bar
2. 0.2 bar
3. 1.2 bar
4. 0.8 bar

  12.             11.When a magnet is made to fall free in air, it falls with an acceleration of 9.8 m s-2. But when it is made to fall through a long aluminium cylinder, its acceleration decreases. Because
1. a part of the gravitational potential energy is lost in heating the magnet
2. a part of the gravitational potential energy is lost in heating the cylinder
3. the said experiment was done in the magnetic northern hemisphere
4. the cylinder shields the gravitational force

  13.             12.A solid cube of side L floats on water with 20% of its volume under water. Cubes identical to it are piled one-by one on it. Assume that the cubes do not slip or tupple, and the contact between their surfaces is perfect. How many cubes are required to submerge one cube completely?
1. 4
2. 5
3. 6
4. Infinite

  14.            13.An overweight person runs 4 km everyday as an exercise. After losing 20% of his body weight, if he has to run the same distance in the -same time, the energy expenditure would be
1. 20% more
2. the same as earlier
3. 20% less
4. 40% less

   15.            15. On exposure to desiccation, which of the following bacteria are least likely to experience rapid water loss
1. Isolated rods
2. Rods in chain
3. Cocci in chain
4. Cocci in ciusters

  16.            16. A cupboard is filled with a large number of balls of 6  different colors. You already have one ball of each color. If you are blind folded, how many balls do you need to draw to be sure of having 3 color matched pairs of balls?
1. 3
2. 4
3. 5
4. 6

   17.            17. The conductance of a potassium chloride solution is measured using the arrangement depicted below. The specific conductivity of the solution in Sm-1, when there is no deflection in the galvanometer, is 
                    
1. 1
2. 0.5
3. 2
4. 1.5

  18.             18.What is the half-life of the radio isotope whose activity profile is shown below?
                           

1. 1 day
2. 3 days
3. 2 days
4. 4 days

19. A bell is rung before giving food to a dog. After doing this continuously for 10 days,   which of the following is most likely to happen?
1. The dog learns to ignore the bell
2. The dog salivates on hearing the bell
3. The dog ignores food and runs towards the bell
4. The dog will not eat food without hearing the bell
  19.
