As you are looking for the IIT JAM physics question paper, here I am uploading a PDF file that contains the same. You can use this questions paper in your studies. I have taken following questions from the attachment:

2 kg of a liquid (specific heat = 2000 J K-1 kg-1, independent of temperature) is heated from 200 K to 400 K by either of the following two processes P1 and P2: P1: bringing it in contact with a reservoir at 400 K. P2: bringing it first in contact with a reservoir at 300 K till equilibrium is reached, and then bringing it in contact with another reservoir at 400 K. Calculate the change in the entropy of the liquid and that of the universe in processes P1 and P2. Neglect any change in volume of the liquid.

A water cannon starts shooting a jet of water horizontally, at t = 0, into a heavy trolley of mass M placed on a horizontal ground. The nozzle diameter of the water cannon is d, the density of water is ρ, and the speed of water coming out of the nozzle is u. Find the speed of the trolley as a function of time. Assume that all the water from the jet is collected in the trolley. Neglect all frictional losses.
