Two resistance wires of same material and same length have diameters in ratio 2:1. Their resistances are in ratio MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Two resistance wires of same material and same length have diameters in ratio 2:1. Their resistances are in ratio
A. 2:1
B. 4:1
C. 1:4
D. 1:2
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
R ∝ L/A ∝ 1/d². So R₁/R₂ = (d₂/d₁)² = (1/2)² = 1/4 = 1:4.

Question #1
Two forces 3 N and 4 N act at right angles. Resultant magnitude is:
A. 5 N
B. 7 N
C. 1 N
D. 12 N

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
For perpendicular forces: R = √(F₁² + F₂²) = √(9 + 16) = √25 = 5 N. Pythagorean theorem applies for vector addition at 90°. Memory aid: '3-4-5 triangle for perpendicular forces'. Basic vector addition problem testing magnitude calculation, common in mechanics sections of competitive exams.

Question #2
A force of 5 N gives mass m1 acceleration 8 m/s² and mass m2 acceleration 24 m/s². What acceleration would it give if both masses tied together?
A. 6 m/s²
B. 16 m/s²
C. 4 m/s²
D. 32 m/s²

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
m1 = 5/8 = 0.625 kg, m2 = 5/24 ≈ 0.2083 kg. Total m=0.8333 kg. a = 5/0.8333 ≈ 6 m/s².
