Solved Sample KCET Questions Answers

Q1: If α and β are the roots of the equation x2 = x + 1, then α22 is?

Solution: In the equation:  x2 = x + 1 => x2 - x - 1 = 0,

 α + β = - b/a= 1, and 

αβ = c/a= - 1

So,  α22= (α +β)2-  2αβ 

=> (1)2- 2 (-1) 

=> α22= 3


Q2: If the separation between two plates is 2 cm, and the potential across them is - 10 V & 30 V, respectively, then what will be the electric field between these plates?

Solution: Given d = 2 cm, V1 = - 10 V, V2 = 30 V

We know that E = dV/d

dV = 30 - (- 10) = 40 V, and

d = 2 cm = 2 x 10-2cm

So, E = 400/(2 x 10-2) = 20000 V/m


Q4: We can improve the oil content and quality of groundnut by using the _______technique.

  1. Biofortification

  2. Biodegradation

  3. Biomagnification

  4. Bioremediation

Ans: Biofortification technique can be used to improve oil content and groundnut’s quality.


Q5: Which of the following possess net dipole moment?

  1. SO2

  2. BeCl2

  3. BF3

  4. CO2

Ans: Among these four options, SO2 has a net dipole moment.

It’s because the SO2 molecule has a bent structure, as we can see in the diagram below:

(Image to be added soon)

This is because electrons are as far away from each other as possible.

O2 has a stronger pull on the electron in the bond between S and O. This results in a dipole moment, which can be seen more easily using vectors, as shown in the diagram below:

FAQs on KCET 2019 Previous Year Question Paper for Maths, Physics, Chemistry & Biology

1. Which of the Following Reactions Will Have ΔH > ΔU

  1. N2 (g) + O2 (g) → 2NO (g)

  2. CaCO3 (s) → CaO (s) + O2 (g)

  3. N2 (g) + 3H2 (g) → 2NH3(g)


Answer: Among these three reactions, the reaction (b), i.e., CaCO3 (s) → CaO (s) + O2 (g) will have ΔH > ΔU.

Explanation: The decomposition of CaCO3 to CaO is an endothermic process. 

2. Which One of the Following Class of Algae Reproduces Asexually by Non-Motile Spores and Sexually by Non-Motile Gametes?

  1. Rhodophyceae

  2. Phaeophyceae

  3. Chlorophyceae

  4. Cyanophyceae


Answer: Option (1)

Explanation: Members of the Rhodophyceae class of Algae lack motile cells in their life cycle, that’s why they produce asexually by non-motile spores, and sexually by non-motile gametes.
