Q1.AlgebraSolve: 3x + 3y = 15 and 5x + y = 5
Answer: A — x = 0, y = 5
Elimination/substitution gives x = 0, y = 5. Check: 3(0) + 3(5) = 15 ✓ and 5(0) + 1(5) = 5 ✓.
-
Q2.Probability & CombinatoricsTwo fair dice are thrown. What is the probability that the sum is 6?
Answer: A — 5/36
5 of the 36 equally likely outcomes give a sum of 6, so P = 5/36 = 5/36.
-
Q3.PhysicsWork done is zero when the force is:
Answer: B — Perpendicular to displacement
W = Fd cos θ; at 90° cos θ = 0.
-
Q4.ChemistryAn oxidation reaction involves:
Answer: C — Loss of electrons
Oxidation is loss of electrons (OIL RIG).
-
Q5.BiologyAntibiotics are effective against:
Answer: A — Bacteria
Antibiotics target bacteria, not viruses.
-
Q6.AlgebraSolve: x² − 2x − 63 = 0
Answer: B — -7, 9
Find two roots with sum 2 and product -63: 9 and -7. So x² − 2x − 63 = (x − 9)(x + 7) = 0.
-
Q7.Probability & Combinatorics2 fair coins are tossed. What is the probability of at least one head?
Answer: B — 3/4
P(no head) = (1/2)^2 = 1/4; P(at least one head) = 1 − 1/4 = 3/4.
-
Q8.PhysicsA current of 3 A flows through a 20 Ω resistor. What is the potential difference across it?
Answer: B — 60 V
Ohm’s law: V = IR = 3 × 20 = 60 V.
-
Q9.ChemistryWhat is the mass of 0.5 mol of sodium chloride (NaCl)? (Molar mass 58.5 g/mol)
Answer: A — 29.25 g
Mass = moles × molar mass = 0.5 × 58.5 g/mol = 29.25 g.
-
Q10.BiologyWhich disease is caused by a deficiency of iodine?
Answer: A — Goitre
Iodine deficiency causes goitre (thyroid enlargement).
-
Q11.AlgebraSolve: x + 2y = 29 and 3x + y = 27
Answer: D — x = 5, y = 12
Elimination/substitution gives x = 5, y = 12. Check: 1(5) + 2(12) = 29 ✓ and 3(5) + 1(12) = 27 ✓.
-
Q12.Probability & CombinatoricsA card is drawn from a well-shuffled deck of 52. What is the probability that it is a face card (J, Q, K)?
Answer: A — 3/13
There are 12 such cards in 52, so P = 12/52 = 3/13.
-
Q13.PhysicsThe phenomenon responsible for the blue colour of the sky is:
Answer: B — Rayleigh scattering
Shorter (blue) wavelengths are scattered more by air molecules.
-
Q14.ChemistryWhich bond is formed by the sharing of electrons?
Answer: B — Covalent
Covalent bonds share electron pairs.
-
Q15.BiologyXylem in plants transports:
Answer: D — Water and minerals
Xylem carries water and minerals upward; phloem carries food.
-
Q16.AlgebraSolve: x² − 9x + 8 = 0
Answer: D — 1, 8
Find two roots with sum 9 and product 8: 1 and 8. So x² − 9x + 8 = (x − 1)(x − 8) = 0.
-
Q17.Probability & Combinatorics3 fair coins are tossed. What is the probability of at least one head?
Answer: B — 7/8
P(no head) = (1/2)^3 = 1/8; P(at least one head) = 1 − 1/8 = 7/8.
-
Q18.PhysicsFind the kinetic energy of a 40 kg body moving at 9 m/s.
Answer: D — 1,620 J
KE = ½mv² = ½ × 40 × 9² = 1,620 J.
-
Q19.Chemistry40 g of NaCl (molar mass 58.5) is dissolved to make 1000 mL of solution. Find the molarity.
Answer: D — 0.684 M
Moles = 40/58.5 = 0.684; molarity = moles ÷ litres = 0.684 ÷ 1 = 0.684 M.
-
Q20.BiologyInsulin is secreted by the:
Answer: A — Pancreas
Beta cells of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans secrete insulin.
-
Q21.AlgebraFind log₅ 625.
Answer: D — 4
log_5(625) asks “5 to what power gives 625?” → 5^4 = 625, so the answer is 4.
-
Q22.Probability & CombinatoricsA card is drawn from a well-shuffled deck of 52. What is the probability that it is a king?
Answer: A — 1/13
There are 4 such cards in 52, so P = 4/52 = 1/13.
-
Q23.PhysicsThe frequency of a wave is measured in:
Answer: D — Hertz
1 hertz = 1 cycle per second.
-
Q24.ChemistryWater has a maximum density at about:
Answer: A — 4 °C
Water is densest at about 4 °C.
-
Q25.BiologyWhich enzyme in saliva begins starch digestion?
Answer: B — Salivary amylase (ptyalin)
Salivary amylase breaks starch into maltose.
How the mock test works
- The timer starts with your first answer; the test submits itself when time runs out.
- Choose the negative marking that matches your exam (many Indian exams deduct ¼ or ⅓ of a mark — check the official notification).
- After submitting you get your score, accuracy, time taken and a topic-wise breakdown, then every explanation.
- “New mock test” builds another paper — calculation questions get new numbers.
