Q1A right circular cone has vertex at the origin, axis along the x-axis, and semi-vertical angle 30 degrees. Its equation is:

A x^2 - 3y^2 - 3z^2 = 0
B 3x^2 - y^2 - z^2 = 0
C x^2 + y^2 - 3z^2 = 0
D x^2 - y^2 - z^2 = 0
Explanation

For a right circular cone with vertex at the origin and axis along the x-axis, the perpendicular distance from the axis satisfies y^2 + z^2 = x^2 tan^2(alpha), where alpha is the semi-vertical angle. With alpha = 30 degrees, tan^2(alpha) = 1/3. Thus 3(y^2 + z^2) = x^2, or x^2 - 3y^2 - 3z^2 = 0.

Q2The velocity of a particle moving along a straight line is v = t^2 + 3t, where v is in m/s and t is in seconds. What is its acceleration at t = 2 s?

A 10 m/s^2
B 5 m/s^2
C 4 m/s^2
D 7 m/s^2
Explanation

Acceleration is the time derivative of velocity. Since v = t^2 + 3t, a = dv/dt = 2t + 3; putting t = 2 gives a = 4 + 3 = 7 m/s^2.

Q3A projectile is fired with speed 20 m/s at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal from level ground. Neglecting air resistance and taking g = 10 m/s^2, what is its horizontal range?

A 40 m
B 20 sqrt(3) m
C 10 sqrt(3) m
D 20 m
Explanation

For a projectile landing at the same level, the horizontal range is R = u^2 sin 2theta/g. Here u = 20 m/s and theta = 30 degrees, so R = 400 sin 60 degrees/10 = 40(sqrt(3)/2) = 20 sqrt(3) m.

Q4For F=(x)i+(y)j+(z)k, the outward flux through the unit sphere x^2+y^2+z^2=1 is

A 3pi
B pi
C 4pi
D 4pi/3
Explanation

By Gauss' divergence theorem, outward flux through the closed sphere equals triple integral over the ball of div F. Since div(xi+yj+zk)=3 and the unit ball has volume 4pi/3, the flux is 4pi.

Q5The sphere x^2 + y^2 + z^2 - 4x + 6y - 8z - 11 = 0 has centre C and radius r. Which pair (C, r) is correct?

A C = (2, -3, 4), r = 2*sqrt(10)
B C = (-2, 3, -4), r = 2*sqrt(10)
C C = (-2, 3, -4), r = sqrt(40)
D C = (2, -3, 4), r = sqrt(11)
Explanation

For x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + 2ux + 2vy + 2wz + d = 0, the centre is (-u, -v, -w) and r^2 = u^2 + v^2 + w^2 - d. Here u = -2, v = 3, w = -4, d = -11. Hence C = (2, -3, 4) and r^2 = 4 + 9 + 16 + 11 = 40.
