Intro and Overview
The teachers kick off by acknowledging how crazy the Maths paper was and how chill the English paper turned out. They're gearing up to tackle science MCQs, promising to make sure everyone scores full marks. They've even thrown in some JEE-level questions to boost the thinking skills. The goal is to prep students for any kind of paper, no matter how tough. They're also planning a series of sessions leading up to the exam, including full physics revision, case-based discussions, and more.
Physics MCQs: Mirrors and Lenses
First up, they dive into physics with a question about converging mirrors. They remind everyone about the relationship between radius of curvature and focal length (R = 2f). The question is about where to place an object to get a virtual image. They explain that the object needs to be between the focus and the pole. They also share a trick to remember concave mirror applications: "Hello doston subah shaam try karo".
Physics MCQs: Application-Based Questions
Next, there's a longer, application-based question about mirrors used in solar furnaces and vehicles. They break down how to identify the correct types of mirrors (concave and convex) and their image properties (real, virtual, diminished, erect). They stress the importance of understanding the language of the question.
Physics MCQs: Magnification and Sign Convention
They move on to a question involving magnification and sign convention. They discuss how to determine the sign and value of magnification based on the position and nature of the image (virtual, erect, enlarged). They also share a tip: as the object moves closer to the mirror, the virtual image also moves closer.
Physics MCQs: Matching List and Myopia Correction
The teachers tackle a matching list question involving mirrors and lenses. They use the "Hello doston subah shaam try karo" trick again. They also discuss the use of concave lenses to correct myopia (nearsightedness) and remind everyone that concave lenses have negative power.
Chemistry MCQs: Balancing Equations and Quicklime Reactions
Switching gears to chemistry, they start with balancing a chemical equation. They show a quick way to solve it by focusing on one element and using the options to eliminate possibilities. Then, they move on to an assertion-reason question about quicklime reacting with water. They explain the difference between quicklime (calcium oxide) and slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) and share a fun analogy about singles and relationships.
Chemistry MCQs: Electrolysis and Anode/Cathode
They tackle a tricky question about the electrolysis of water, focusing on how to identify hydrogen and oxygen based on volume and location. They explain the concepts of anode and cathode and share tricks to remember which ions (anions or cations) are attracted to each electrode.
Biology MCQs: Photosynthesis and Factors
Moving on to biology, they start with a long question about photosynthesis. They break down the function of KOH in the experiment (absorbing CO2) and discuss the factors necessary for photosynthesis (carbon dioxide, chlorophyll). They also mention that if multiple answers seem correct, both should be considered.

Biology MCQs: Digestion and Assertion-Reason on Villi
They discuss the final products of digestion (amino acids, glucose, fatty acids, and glycerol). They wrap up the biology section with an assertion-reason question about villi in the small intestine. They share tricks for tackling assertion-reason questions, but also point out a common mistake: confusing digestion with absorption.
Physics MCQs: Convex Mirrors and Sign Convention
Back to physics, they present a challenging question about convex mirrors and sign convention. They emphasize that image distance is always positive for convex mirrors. They also provide a table summarizing sign conventions for concave and convex mirrors.
Physics MCQs: Concave Mirrors and Refraction
They quickly review concave mirrors and the conditions for forming enlarged, virtual images. Then, they move on to a refraction problem involving refractive indices and the speed of light. They remind everyone of the formula relating refractive index and velocity (velocity is inversely proportional to refractive index).
Physics MCQs: Snell's Law and Prisms
They tackle a tougher question involving Snell's Law, emphasizing the importance of correctly identifying the angle of incidence. They share a version of Snell's Law that's easier to remember. They also discuss prisms and the dispersion of white light, reminding everyone that red light bends the least and violet light bends the most.
Physics MCQs: Scattering and Human Eye
They move on to a question about scattering of light, emphasizing the importance of understanding the concepts, not just memorizing facts. They discuss why the sky appears blue (blue light is scattered more) and share a fact from the 12th-grade board exam about the human eye's ability to focus at different distances.
Physics MCQs: Electricity and Work Done
They switch to electricity, starting with a simple question about work done in moving a charge across a potential difference (W = QV).
Physics MCQs: Units and Resistance
They tackle a matching list question about electrical units. Then, they move on to a numerical problem involving resistance, length, and diameter. They remind everyone of the formula for resistance (R = ĻL/A) and emphasize the importance of careful calculation.
Physics MCQs: Stretching a Wire and Heat Production
They present a tricky question about stretching a wire, reminding everyone that the area also changes when the length is increased. They then move on to a problem about heat production, emphasizing the importance of choosing the correct formula based on what's held constant (V or I).
Physics MCQs: Bulbs in Series and Assertion-Reason on Earth Wires
They tackle a question about bulbs connected in series, emphasizing the importance of understanding how voltage is divided in a series circuit. Then, they move on to an assertion-reason question about earth wires, explaining their purpose and how they prevent electric shocks.

Biology MCQs: Touch Receptors and Plant Hormones
They move on to questions about touch receptors and the sequence of events in a reflex action. Then, they discuss plant hormones, including auxin and cytokinin, and their roles in growth and cell division.
Biology MCQs: Blood Glucose and Reproduction
They cover blood glucose regulation by insulin and discuss different modes of reproduction (sexual vs. asexual). They emphasize that asexual reproduction results in genetically similar offspring, while sexual reproduction leads to greater variation.
Biology MCQs: Chromosomes and Contraceptives
They discuss how chromosome number remains constant during sexual reproduction due to halving during gamete formation. They also cover contraceptives and their mechanisms, such as preventing sperm from reaching the egg.
Biology MCQs: Eye Color and Plant Crosses
They move on to genetics, discussing eye color inheritance and dominant/recessive traits. They also cover plant crosses and phenotypic ratios in F2 generation.
Chemistry MCQs: Concentrated H2SO4 and Metal Properties
Switching back to chemistry, they discuss the proper way to dilute concentrated sulfuric acid (add acid to water). They also cover metal properties like ductility and malleability, emphasizing that thermal conductivity is the reason copper is used in cooking utensils.
