S1. Ans.(d)
Sol.The value of Gravitational Force range from a minimum of 9.78 metre per second squared at the Equator to a maximum of 9.83 metre per second squared at the poles.Hence Gravitational Force is maximum on poles.

S2. Ans.(b)
Sol. A hygrometer is an instrument used for measuring the water vapour (humidity) in the atmosphere.

S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. Only certain species of mosquitoes of the Anopheles genus—and only females of those species—can transmit malaria. Malaria is caused by a one-celled parasite called a Plasmodium. Female Anopheles mosquitoes pick up the parasite from infected people when they bite to obtain blood needed to nurture their eggs.

S4. Ans.(d)
Sol. Saffron is a spice derived from the flower of Crocus sativus, commonly known as the “saffroncrocus”. The vivid crimson stigmas and styles, called threads, are collected and dried to be used mainly as a seasoning and colouring agent in food.

S5. Ans.(a)
Sol. The basic function of xylem is to transport water from roots to shoots and leaves, but it also transports some nutrients.

S6. Ans.(d)
Sol. Speed is the distance travelled by object in a certain interval of time.Speed is not dependent on direction hence it is a scalar quantity.While Displacement, Momentum and Torque has both magnitude and direction, so they are vector quantity.

S7. Ans.(a)
Sol. The temperature at which a liquid freezes is called the Freezing Point. The freezing point of water is 32°F.

S8. Ans.(a)
Sol. A bit map (often spelled “bitmap”) defines a display space and the color for each pixel or “bit” in the display space. A Graphics Interchange Format and a JPEG are examples of graphic image file types that contain bit maps.

S9. Ans.(b)
Sol. Reduction is the loss of oxygen from a molecule or the gaining of one or more electrons.

S10. Ans.(d)
Sol. Most incandescent bulbs use tungsten (W) as a filament element. Tungsten is an inexpensive metal that has a long lifespan as a filament. It is a suitable option for incandescent bulbs because it has an extremely high melting point and is flexible. Pliable tungsten filaments are easily formed and hold up well against temperatures as high as 4,500 degrees Fahrenheit.

S11. Ans.(a)
Sol. Trees who shed their leaves once in a year most commonly in autumn is known as deciduous trees.Teak, Sisam, neem etc. are some examples of deciduous tree in India.

S12. Ans.(b)
Sol. You can start Microsoft word by using Start button.

S13. Ans.(d)
Sol. Isotherms are imaginary lines that connect points of equal temperature on weather maps, so at every point along a given isotherm the temperature values are the same.

S14. Ans.(c)
Sol. A natural region has the similarity of climate and natural vegetation.

S15. Ans.(c)
Sol. Huge deposits of uranium were recently found in Andhra Pradesh.
