Question #1
Radioactive decay to 1/32 initial: number of half-lives:
A. 5
B. 4
C. 3
D. 6

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
(1/2)ⁿ = 1/32 ⇒ 2ⁿ = 32 ⇒ n = 5 half-lives. Exponential decay calculation. Memory aid: '1/2ⁿ remaining; 1/32 = 1/2⁵ ⇒ 5 half-lives'. Radioactivity arithmetic frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #2
If a stone is tied to a string and whirled in a circle, and the string suddenly breaks, the stone will:
A. Fly outwards radially.
B. Move inwards towards the center.
C. Fly off tangentially to the circular path.
D. Fall straight down immediately due to gravity.

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
When the stone is moving in a circle, its velocity vector is always tangential to the circle. The string provides the necessary centripetal force directed towards the center. When the string breaks, this inward force ceases to exist. Due to inertia of direction (Newton's First Law), the stone continues to move along the tangent at the point where the string broke.

Mirror focal length f and radius R relation:
A. f = 2R
B. f = R/2
C. f = R
D. f = R²

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Spherical mirrors: f = R/2 under paraxial approximation. Derived from geometry of reflection. Memory tip: 'Mirror: f = R/2; sign: concave +, convex -'. Optics formula frequently tested in competitive exams.
