X SCIENCE SA II 3 & 5 MARKS SAMPLE PAPER 1




QUESTION 14 TO 25 [ X SCIENCE SA II ] – SAMPLE PAPER 1

14.    A real  image,1/5 th the  size  of object is formed at a distance of 18 cm from  a mirror. What  is the nature of mirror ? Calculate its focal length.

15.    A ray of light  is incident obliquely on a glass  slab. Draw  a ray - diagram showing the path  of the  light  ray.  Clearly  mark  angle  of incidence, angle  of refraction, angle  of emergence and  lateral  displacement of the ray. Give a formula to find  refractive index of glass slab in terms  of angle  of incidence and  angle  of refraction.

16.    A person cannot  see objects farther than  12m from  the eye clearly.  Name  the, defect  of vision  he is suffering from and  the lens that should be used  for correction of this defect Illustrate with  the help  of a diagrams, how  this lens will correct  the defective vision.

17.    Give reasons for the following :
(a)     Unsaturated  hydrocarbons show   addition  reactions but   not  saturated hydrocarbons.
(b)     Carbon only  forms  covalent compounds.

18.    State modern periodic law. Mention the position of (i) hydrogen and  (ii) isotopes of same  element in the modern periodic table.

19.    Distinguish between analogous organs and  homologous organs. Identify the analogous and  homologous organs amongst the following :
        Wings  of an insect,  wings  of a bat, forelimbs of frog, forelimbs of human.

20.    Study  the given  data and  answer the questions that  follow  :
(a)     What  is the term  given  to this type  of cross ?
(b)     What  does  the data  in column 2 indicate ? State how  did  you  arrive  at this  conclusion.
110- Round Green
102- Wrinkled Yellow
32- Wrinkled Green
21.    Explain  with  the help  of flow chart  - “What  determines the sex of a child  genetically”       

22.    What  is the importance of D.N.A copying in reproduction ? Why is variation beneficial to the species  but  not necessary for the individual ? Explain.

23.    Draw  a ray  diagram in each  of the  following cases  to show  the  formation of image, when the object is placed :
(i)      between optical  centre  and  principal focus  of a convex  lens
(ii)     between F and  2F of a concave  lens
(iii)    At 2F of a convex  lens
What can you say about  sign and  value  of linear  magnification ratio in, (i) and  (ii) above.
OR

(i)      Define  real  image  of an object.                                                                                                 
(ii)     Name  the  mirror that                                                                                                      
(a)     can give real as well as virtual image  of an object.
(b)     will always give virtual image  of same  size of an object.
(c)     will always give virtual and  diminished image  of an object.
(d)     is used  by a doctor in examining teeth.

(iii)    With  the  help  of a ray  diagram explain  the  use  of concave    mirror as  solar  concentrators.

24.    Complete the  following reactions.
                                                                                           






















OR
        (a)     List two  reasons for carbon  forming a large  number of compounds.
(b)     An  organic  acid  ‘X’ is a liquid which  often  freezes  during winter time  in cold countries. It has  molecular formula C2H4O2.  On  warming with  ethanol in the presence of a few drops of conc. H2SO4  a compound Y with sweet smell is formed.

(i)       Identify X and  Y

(ii)     Write  chemical  equation for the reaction involved.

25.    (a)     What  is the role of seminal vesicles  and  the prostate gland ?
(b)     What  are the three  categories of contraception methods ? Write  briefly  about each.

OR

(a)     Draw  longitudinal section  of a flower  and  label on it the following : (i)        Ovary (ii)     Style                                 (iii)    Stigma        (iv)    Anther
(b) Why  is vegetative propagation practised for  growing some  plants ? Give  two examples of plants grown by this  method.
