The eye defect 'astigmatism' is corrected using
A. Convex lens
B. Cylindrical lens
C. Bifocal lens
D. Concave lens
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Astigmatism: cornea curvature not spherical, different focal lengths in different planes. Corrected by cylindrical lens which has different powers in perpendicular axes. Not simple spherical lens.

Question #2
Coil center magnetic field B = μ₀NI/(2R). If N doubled, B becomes:
A. Four times
B. Same
C. Half
D. Double

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
B ∝ N. Double turns ⇒ double field at center. Direct proportionality from Biot-Savart law. Memory tip: 'Coil field: B ∝ NI; more turns ⇒ stronger field'. Magnetism formula frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #3
The time taken for a ball dropped from height h to reach ground is t. If dropped from height 4h, the time taken is:
A. t/2
B. 4t
C. 2t
D. t

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Free fall: h = ½gt² ⇒ t = √(2h/g). Thus t ∝ √h. If h' = 4h, t' = √(4h/g) = 2√(h/g) = 2t. Time doubles when height quadruples. Memory aid: 'Free fall time: t ∝ √h; quadruple height ⇒ double time'. This kinematics proportional reasoning problem is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always derive the proportionality from fundamental equations; avoid assuming linear relationships for non-linear motion.
