S1. Ans.(a)
Sol. γ – rays are the most penetrating rays
β – Particle are moderately penetrating and
α – particles are least penetrating
S2. Ans.(b)
Sol. The distance between person and his image is 60 cm × 2 = 1.2 m
S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. Gravitational force is attractive only whereas the electric and magnetic forces are attractive as well as repulsive.
S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. Creation of something from nothing is against the law of conservation of mass energy.
S5.Ans(b)
Sol.
S6. Ans.(a)
S7. Ans.(d)
S8. Ans.(d)
Sol. Manganic is a trademarked name for an alloy of typically 86% copper, 12% manganese, and 2% nickel. Constantan is a copper-nickel alloy usually consisting of 55% copper and 45% nickel. Its main feature is its resistivity which is constant over a wide range of temperatures. Other alloys with similarly low temperature coefficients are manganic.
S9. Ans.(b)
Sol. Graphite is used in making lead pencils due to its ability to leave marks on paper and other objects. Pencil lead is most commonly a mix of powdered graphite and clay.
S10. Ans.(b)
Sol. Sodium metal should be stored in kerosene oil. Sodium is a very reactive metal. It is kept in kerosene to prevent it from coming in contact with oxygen and moisture. If this happens, it will react with the moisture present in air and form sodium hydroxide. This is a strongly exothermic reaction, and lot of heat is generated. Thus, sodium is kept under kerosene.
In the last month i.e. in May daily we will provide you with a test of the previous years’ question papers, this will increase your confidence of solving the real exam and will make you familiar with the real-time exam.
