A body of mass 4 kg is raised from height 2 m to 8 m. Increase in potential energy (g=10) is
A. 320 J
B. 240 J
C. 80 J
D. 400 J
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
ΔPE = mgΔh = 4×10×(8-2) = 4×10×6 = 240 J.

Question #1
Which combination of logic gates is universally known as a 'Universal Gate' because it can be used to construct any other basic logic gate (AND, OR, NOT)?
A. NAND and NOR
B. XOR and XNOR
C. NOT and AND
D. AND and OR

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
NAND (NOT-AND) and NOR (NOT-OR) gates are called Universal Gates in digital electronics. By cleverly combining multiple NAND gates (or multiple NOR gates) together, one can perfectly replicate the logical function of any basic gate (NOT, AND, OR) without needing the actual basic gates themselves.

Question #2
Uniform acceleration: v-t graph is:
A. Hyperbola
B. Horizontal line
C. Straight line with slope
D. Parabola

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
a = constant ⇒ v = u + at (linear in t). Slope = acceleration. Memory tip: 'v-t slope = acceleration; area = displacement'. Graph interpretation frequently tested in competitive kinematics sections.

Question #3
According to Brewster's Law, when unpolarized light is incident on a transparent medium at the polarizing angle (Brewster's angle), the reflected and refracted rays are:
A. At 45 degrees to each other
B. At exactly 90 degrees to each other
C. Totally internally reflected
D. Parallel to each other

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Brewster's Law states that when light hits a dielectric boundary at a specific angle of incidence (Brewster's angle, theta_p), the reflected light is completely plane-polarized. At this exact geometric condition, the angle between the reflected ray and the refracted (transmitted) ray is strictly 90 degrees.
