Question #1
Satellite orbital velocity v = √(GM/r). If radius doubles, velocity becomes:
A. √2 times
B. Half
C. 1/√2 times
D. Same

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
v ∝ 1/√r. If r' = 2r, v' = v/√2. Orbital velocity decreases with increasing radius. Memory aid: 'Higher orbit ⇒ slower speed; v ∝ r⁻¹/²'. Proportional reasoning question testing gravitation formula application, frequently appearing in competitive exams without heavy calculation.

Question #2
Assertion (A): Fuse wire has high resistance and low melting point. Reason (R): It must melt to break circuit on overload.
A. Both A and R true, R not correct explanation
B. A false, R true
C. A true, R false
D. Both A and R true, R correct explanation

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
High resistance produces more heat (I²R), low melting point ensures quick melting. Both true and R explains A.

Question #3
The number of significant figures in 0.0034060 is
A. 7
B. 5
C. 6
D. 4

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Leading zeros (before first non-zero digit) are not significant. So 0.0034060: the first non-zero is 3, then 4,0,6 are significant, and the trailing zero after decimal is significant. Thus significant digits are 3,4,0,6,0 — 5 digits. Note: The last zero indicates precision. Answer is 5.
