Question #1
Which of the following graphs represents a body at rest?
A. Velocity-time graph with zero slope
B. Displacement-time graph with constant positive slope
C. Velocity-time graph with positive slope
D. Displacement-time graph parallel to time axis

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
For a body at rest, displacement remains constant over time. The displacement-time graph is a horizontal line, parallel to time axis, indicating zero slope (velocity = 0). Option A indicates constant velocity. Option B (velocity-time zero slope) means constant velocity, not necessarily rest (could be constant non-zero velocity). Option D indicates acceleration. So C is correct.

Question #2
The focal length of a concave mirror is 20 cm. An object is placed at 30 cm from the mirror. The image distance is:
A. 20 cm
B. 12 cm
C. 60 cm
D. 30 cm

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Mirror formula: 1/f = 1/u + 1/v. Sign convention: f negative for concave mirror? Wait, standard Cartesian: f = -20 cm (concave), u = -30 cm (object real). Thus 1/(-20) = 1/(-30) + 1/v ⇒ -1/20 = -1/30 + 1/v ⇒ 1/v = -1/20 + 1/30 = (-3+2)/60 = -1/60 ⇒ v = -60 cm. Magnitude 60 cm, negative sign indicates real image in front of mirror. Many exams use magnitude-only options; here 60 cm is correct. Memory tip: 'Concave mirror: object beyond C (2f) ⇒ image between F and C, real, inverted'. This numerical tests mirror formula application with sign conventions, crucial for optics in competitive exams.

Question #3
The SI unit of luminous intensity is
A. Candela
B. Lux
C. Watt
D. Lumen

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Candela (cd) is one of the seven SI base units, measures luminous intensity. Lumen is luminous flux (lm = cd·sr). Lux is illuminance (lx = lm/m²). Watt is power.
