A wire of resistance 9 Ω is bent to form an equilateral triangle. The resistance across any two vertices is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A wire of resistance 9 Ω is bent to form an equilateral triangle. The resistance across any two vertices is
A. 2 Ω
B. 6 Ω
C. 9 Ω
D. 3 Ω
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Total 9 Ω, each side 3 Ω. Across two vertices, one side is 3 Ω in parallel with series of two sides (3+3=6 Ω). Equivalent: (3×6)/(3+6) = 18/9 = 2 Ω. Triangle resistance network.

Question #1
The number of protons in an atom determines its
A. Neutron number
B. Mass number
C. Isotope
D. Atomic number

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Atomic number Z = number of protons. Defines chemical element. Mass number = protons + neutrons. Isotopes same Z, different neutrons. Isobars same A, different Z.

Question #2
A body is thrown vertically upward with speed 40 m/s. Distance travelled in last second of ascent (g=10)
A. 35 m
B. 15 m
C. 20 m
D. 5 m

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Time of ascent = u/g = 4 s. Distance in last second (4th) = ½g(1)²? Actually, during last second of upward journey, velocity becomes zero. Distance = ½g(1)² = 5 m. Formula: s = u - g/2 (2n-1) with n=4? Let's compute: s_nth = u - (g/2)(2n-1). For n=4 (4th second), s = 40 - 5×7 = 40 - 35 = 5 m. Yes.

Question #3
A block of mass 5 kg is pushed against a wall with a horizontal force of 50 N. If coefficient of friction is 0.4, the block
A. Moves up
B. Falls down
C. Oscillates
D. Remains at rest

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Maximum friction = μN = 0.4×50 = 20 N. Weight = 50 N. Friction < weight, so block will fall. Wait, force 50 N horizontal, weight 5×10=50 N. Frictional force upward max 20 N, weight 50 N down, net downward 30 N, so it slides down. So it falls down. Answer A. Let's correct: option A: Falls down. I'll set A.
