Question #1
The amount of heat required to raise temperature of 1 g water by 1°C is
A. 4.2 J
B. 1 J
C. Both B and C
D. 1 cal

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
1 cal = 4.186 J ≈ 4.2 J. So both are correct. However option D covers both. I'll set D as correct.

Question #2
If three resistors of 2 Ω, 3 Ω, and 6 Ω are connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance of the combination is:
A. 11 Ω
B. 0.5 Ω
C. 2 Ω
D. 1 Ω

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
For resistors in parallel, the reciprocal of the equivalent resistance (1/Rp) is the sum of the reciprocals of individual resistances. 1/Rp = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 = 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/6. Finding a common denominator (6): 1/Rp = 3/6 + 2/6 + 1/6 = 6/6 = 1. Therefore, Rp = 1 Ω.

Question #3
Pendulum on planet with g' = 4g. Period becomes:
A. Double
B. Same
C. Four times
D. Half

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
T ∝ 1/√g. If g' = 4g, T' = T/√4 = T/2. Higher gravity ⇒ faster oscillations. Memory aid: 'Pendulum: T ∝ 1/√g; 4× gravity ⇒ half period'. Oscillations proportionality frequently tested in competitive exams.
