JEE Knockout Test Solution
1. Time duration for this test is 180 minutes. This test consists of 90 questions. Themaximum marks are 360.
2. There are three parts in the question paper, namely, Part A: Mathematics, Part B:
Physics and Part C: Chemistry. Each question is awarded 4 (four) marks for correctresponse.
3. One-fourth (1/4) marks will be deducted for indicating incorrect response of eachquestion. No deduction from the total score will be made if no response is indicated foran item in the answer sheet.
4. This test contains 90 Multiple Choice Questions with single correct answer. EachQuestion has four choices (1), (2), (3) & (4), out of which Only One is Correct.
5. Filling up more than one response in any question will be treated as wrong response andmarks for wrong response will be deducted accordingly as per the instruction 3 above.

1. :x x A x B means that all elements exist in setAalso exist in setB. Similarly, A B means
that all elements exist in set Aalso exist in set B. The Venn diagram can be drawn as shown in
any of the following two figures:
Therefore, option (1) is correct.
2. A B meansAis a subset ofBorB A means thatBis a super set ofA. Therefore, option (2) is
correct.
3. It is a well-known fact that N I or N I and hence both are correct. Therefore, option (3) is
correct.
4. The statement ( ) { : }P A X X A is wrong and the correct statement is ( ) { : }P A X X A , that
is, setX= setAis also included. Therefore, option (4) is incorrect or false.

Question1. The figure below shows two different arrangements of materials 1, 2 and 3 to form a wall. All
the three slabs are of equal thickness. The thermal conductivities are 1 2 3k k k . The left side of the wall
is 20 o C higher than the right side. Which of the following statements is correct for steady state heat flow
across the wall?
(1) The temperature difference across 1 will be the greatest in both the arrangements.
(2) The rate of heat transfer across the wall will be the same for both the arrangements.
(3) The temperature difference across 1 will be greater in the first arrangement than in the second
arrangement.
(4) The rate of heat transfer across the wall will be greater in the first arrangement than in the second
arrangement.
Chapter:Conduction
Level of Difficulty:Moderate
Solution
In both the arrangements, the three materials are in series. Since, the temperature difference across the
wall is the same for both the arrangements, the heat current will also be the same for both. Hence, the rate
of heat transfer across the wall will be the same for both the arrangements.

standard p-n junction diode but is specially designed to have a low predetermined reverse breakdown
voltage that takes advantage of this high reverse voltage. TheZener diodeis the simplest types of voltage

Solution
A normal human eye can clearly see all the objects just beyond a certain minimum distance which is 25
cm for normal eye and it is known as near point. Hence statement 1 is correct.
Accommodation is the adjustment to the thickness of the lens in the eye to ensure that the image on the
retina is sharp. When thickness of the lens changes the focal length of the lens also changes. Thus, the
human eye has the capacity to adjust suitably the focal length of its lens to a certain extent. Therefore
statement 2 is also correct.
Statement 1 and statement 2 are two independent statements. Therefore, statement 2 is not a correct

Chapter:dandf-Block Elements
Level of Difficulty: Moderate
Solution
The number of electrons participating in the metallic bonding is three for all the lanthanoid elements
except Eu (At. no. 63) and Yb (At. no. 70) as the outermost electrons are favored to participate in
bonding. In these two cases, one electron from 5d orbital is shifted to 4f orbital to get half-filled and
fully filled stable electronic configuration. Hence, these two elements use only two electrons in metallic
bonding, and atomic radii do not show the expected decrease.

The equilibrium constant for hydration depends on stability of produced hydrate and ketone. Since the
stability of ketone increases with the increasing electron density on carbonyl carbon atom, its stability is
increased by electron donating group.
In contrast, the hydrates stability is increased by electron withdrawing group, but stability of ketone is
decreased.

Chapter: Hydrocarbons: Aromatic
Level of Difficulty: Moderate
Solution
According to Huckels rule, two conditions should satisfy for aromaticity. The planar cyclic compound
with (4n+ 2) pi electrons are aromatic compounds.
I. This carbon ring contains 6 pi electrons with all carbon atoms in sp2hybridized state. The angle strain
in this ring is not much so it is also planar and aromatic.
II. Though nitrogen atoms can avail lone pairs for aromaticity, but in this case it is not required. Ring
contains 6 pi electrons and all atoms in sp2
hybridized state. So, the compound is aromatic.
III. It contains 8 pi electrons, so it is not an aromatic compound.
IV. Ring contains 6 pi electrons with all carbon atoms sp2hybridized, so it is an aromatic compound.

Homopolymers are formed by polymerization of the same type of monomers. Copolymers are formed
when a mixture of more than one monomeric species is allowed to polymerize. For example, Buna-N is a
copolymer of acrylonitrile and 1,3-butadiene. From the given options, option (2) represents a
copolymer.

Question 13:Which of the following carbocations will not rearrange?
(1) (2) (3) (4)

Level of Difficulty: Moderate
Solution
The rearrangement of a carbocation is possible only if it can form more stable carbocation. Sometimes,
it can also release angle strain present in relatively smaller or bigger rings. Hence, (1), (2) and (4)
rearrange as shown below. The compound in (3) cannot rearrange because more stable carbocation is
not possible by shifting alkyl or halide group.

Question 14: The correct order of stability of the following free radicals is
(1) III > I > II > IV (2) I > II > IV > III (3) IV > II > I > III (4) I > III > II > IV
Chapter: Some Basic Principles in Organic Chemistry
Level of Difficulty: Easy
Solution
The free radicals are electron-deficient species, whose stability is enhanced by electron donating groups.
Therefore in (III), allylic free radical is most stable since electron density can be transferred by both
inductive as well as resonance effects. As (I), (II) and (IV) are 3, 2and 1free radicals, respectively, the
correct order of stability is III > I > II > IV.

So if the gas is ideal, then its pressure is 1 atm. However, it is a real gas, so at different conditions its
pressure may vary from the ideal pressure.
If its compressibility factorZ> 1, this indicates that repulsive forces dominate inside the gas. These
repulsive forces imply that the pressure should be more than ideal pressure, that is, more than 1 atm
pressure.

Schottky defect is observed in ionic solids in which cationic and anionic sizes are approximately the
same. It arises when equal number of cations and anions are missing from their position. It causes
decrease in the density of solid.
Frenkel defect is observed in ionic solids in which cationic and anionic size difference is large. It arises
when the smaller ion leaves its original place and moves into interstitial spaces. This causes no change in
cationanion ratio, and hence no change in the density.
Interstitial defect arises when a constituting particle is also placed into interstitial space. This causes an
increase in density.

(2) When heat is supplied to an ideal gas in isothermal process, kinetic energy of gas remains constant.
(3) When an ideal gas is subjected to adiabatic expansion, it gets cooled.

Since work done in reversible process is more than that in irreversible process, the temperature change
is more in reversible process, that is, the temperature decrease will be more.
Since kinetic energy of ideal gases is proportional to root of temperature, for isothermal it will not
change.
From the above relations, it is clear that when an ideal gas is subjected to adiabatic expansion, its
temperature decreases.
Entropy increases when an ideal gas expands isothermally because increasing the volume causes
increase in randomness.Correct Option: (1)

ceases to impart any green or bluish green color to the flame. The heated end of the wire is dipped into
