b. Extensive thermodynamics state variables
c. Path functions
d. Intensive thermodynamics state variable

14. Given below are the two statements
Assertion : if dQ and dW represent the heat supplied and work done on the system respectively, then according to the first law of thermodynamics
dQ= dU – dW
Reason: First law of thermodynamics is based on law of conservation of energy

a. A is correct but R is not correct
b. A is not correct but R is correct
c. Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
d. Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A

Solutions

1. (a)
There was no restriction for it expansion. So no tensile or compressive force developed. Longitudinal strains happens only when tensile or compressive force developed in the rod. So answer a
2.(c)
3.(d)
4.(c)
5. (a),(b)
6.(b)
7.(a),(c)
Due to thermal expansion, the diameter of the disc as well of the hole will increase. therefore the moment of inertia will increase resulting in a increase in the angular speed.
8. (d)
9. (a)
10. d
11. d
12. b
13. c
14. c
