Answer: B) Diamagnetic Explanation: Paramagnetic Molecules :: If the Electronic configuration of a molecule has any unpaired electrons, then that molecule is said to be Paramagnetic. Diamagnetic Molecules :: If the Electronic configuration of a molecule has only paired or spin paired electrons, then that molecule is said to be Diamagnetic.   Here the molecule C2 has all paired electrons in its electronic configuration. So C2 is Diamagnetic. Whereas, B2 molecule has unpaired electrons. So B2 is Paramegnetic.

Answer : 3. "246"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 246 Explanation: A Committee of 5 persons is to be formed from 6 gentlemen and 4 ladies by taking.    (i) 1 lady out of 4 and 4 gentlemen out of 6  (ii) 2 ladies out of 4 and 3 gentlemen out of 6  (iii) 3 ladies out of 4 and 2 gentlemen out of 6  (iv) 4 ladies out of 4 and 1 gentlemen out of 6    In case I the number of ways = C14×C46 = 4 x 15 = 60  In case II the number of ways = C24×C36 = 6 x 20 = 120  In case III the number of ways = C34×C26 = 4 x 15 = 60 In case IV the number of ways = C44×C16 = 1 x 6 = 6    Hence, the required number of ways = 60 + 120 + 60 + 6 = 246

Answer : 2. "19/42"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 19/42 Explanation: A red ball can be drawn in two mutually exclusive ways  (i) Selecting bag I and then drawing a red ball from it.   (ii) Selecting bag II and then drawing a red ball from it.   Let E1, E2 and A denote the events defined as follows: E1 = selecting bag I, E2 = selecting bag II A = drawing a red ball Since one of the two bags is selected randomly, therefore  P(E1) = 1/2  and  P(E2) = 1/2 Now, PAE1 = Probability of drawing a red ball when the first bag has been selected = 4/7   PAE2  = Probability of drawing a red ball when the second bag has been selected = 2/6  Using the law of total probability, we have   P(red ball) = P(A) = PE1×PAE1+PE2×PAE2                              = 12×47+12×26=1942
