Few Solved Questions from JEE Main 2020 Paper

1. (Subject - Physics, Chapter - Optics, Shift - 06 Sep - Evening Shift)

Question:- A double convex lens has power P and the same radii of curvature R of both surfaces. The radius of curvature of the surface of a planoconvex lens made of the same material with power 1.5 P is :

  1. 2R

  2. \frac{R}{2}

  3. \frac{3R}{2}

  4. \frac{R}{3}

Answer- 4) \frac{R}{3}

Solution:-

1720600855410

\mathrm{R}_{1}=\mathrm{R}_{2}=\mathrm{R} \\ Power= P \\ \text{Refractive index is assume} (\mu_{l})

\mathrm{P}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{f}}=\left(\mu_{l}-1\right)\left(\frac{2}{\mathrm{R}}\right)

1720600856679

\begin{aligned} &\mathrm{P}^{\prime}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{f}^{\prime}}=\left(\mu_{\ell}-1\right)\left(\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}^{\prime}}\right)\\ &P^{\prime}=\frac{3}{2} P \end{aligned}

\begin{array}{l} \left(\mu_{\ell}-1\right)\left(\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}^{\prime}}\right)= \frac{3}{2}\left(\mu_{\ell}-1\right)\left(\frac{2}{\mathrm{R}}\right) \\ \\ \therefore \quad \mathrm{R}^{\prime}=\frac{\mathrm{R}}{3} \end{array}

Hence, The correct option is (4)

2. (Subject - Maths, Chapter - Integral Calculus, Shift - 03 Sep - Evening Shift )

Question:- If \int \sin ^{-1}\left ( \sqrt{\frac{x}{1+x}} \right )dx=A(x)\tan ^{-1}(\sqrt{x})+B(x)+C, where C is a constant of integration, then the ordered pair (A(x),\; B(x)) can be?

  1. (x+1,\; -\sqrt{x})

  2. (x+1,\; \sqrt{x})

  3. (x-1,\; -\sqrt{x})

  4. (x-1,\; \sqrt{x})

Answer- 1) (x+1,\; -\sqrt{x})

Solution:-

Given,

\int \sin ^{-1}\left ( \sqrt{\frac{x}{1+x}} \right )dx=A(x)\tan ^{-1}(\sqrt{x})+B(x)+C,

\begin{array}{l} \text { Put } x=\tan ^{2} \theta \Rightarrow d x=2 \tan \theta \sec ^{2} \theta d \theta \\ \int \theta \cdot\left(2 \tan \theta \cdot \sec ^{2} \theta\right) d \theta \end{array}

Now do the integration by parts

\\\mathrm{\theta\rightarrow 1st\;function}\\\mathrm{2\tan\theta\sec^2\theta\rightarrow 2nd\;function}

\begin{array}{l} =\theta \cdot \tan ^{2} \theta-\int \tan ^{2} \theta \mathrm{d} \theta \\ =\theta \cdot \tan ^{2} \theta-\int\left(\sec ^{2} \theta-1\right) \mathrm{d} \theta \\ =\theta\left(1+\tan ^{2} \theta\right)-\tan \theta+\mathrm{C} \\ =\tan ^{-1}(\sqrt{\mathrm{x}})(1+\mathrm{x})-\sqrt{\mathrm{x}}+\mathrm{C} \end{array}

A(x)=1+x,\;\;B(x)=-\sqrt x

Hence, the answer is the option 1.

3. (Subject - Chemistry, Chapter - Hydrocarbons, Shift - 08 Jan - Morning Shift)

Question:- The major products A and B in the following reactions are:

1720600856029

  1. 1720600856074

  2. 1720600854949

  3. 1720600855903

  4. 1720600855239

Answer- 1) 1720600856126

Solution:-

The given reaction occurs as :

\mathrm{R-O-O-R\xrightarrow[]{\Delta}2R\dot{O}}

1720600856280

Therefore, Option(1) is correct.
