Easy MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2022

The bulk modulus of a liquid is 3 $\times$ 1010 Nm$-$2. The pressure required to reduce the volume of liquid by 2% is :

  1. A 3 $\times$ 10<sup>8</sup> Nm<sup>$-$2</sup>
  2. B 9 $\times$ 10<sup>8</sup> Nm<sup>$-$2</sup>
  3. C 6 $\times$ 10<sup>8</sup> Nm<sup>$-$2</sup> Correct answer
  4. D 12 $\times$ 10<sup>8</sup> Nm<sup>$-$2</sup>

Solution

<p>$\because$ $B = {{\Delta P} \over {\left( { - {{\Delta V} \over V}} \right)}}$</p> <p>$\Rightarrow \Delta P = 3 \times {10^{10}} \times (0.02)$</p> <p>$= 6 \times {10^8}$ N/m<sup>2</sup></p>
