Solutions

S1.Ans. (d)
Sol. Nitrochloroform is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial which is used as a fungicide, herbicide, insecticide and nematicide. It is also known as Chloropicrin.

S2.Ans. (d)
Sol. A couple has the only effect of producing or preventing the turning effect of the body.
Application of Couple:
Steering wheel applied by the car driver, Opening and closing of a water tap, Winding the spring of an alarm clock, Unlocking the locker by using a key etc.

S3.Ans. (b)
Sol. The value of G is a constant like other constants and is independent of factors such as medium, temperature pressure etc. The value of gravitational constant of the earth is independent on the mass and radius of the earth.

S4.Ans. (a)
Sol. Milk is a mixture composed of water, along with fat and sugar. Chief among these protein is called caseins which make up about 80% of the proteins in milk.

S5.Ans. (d)
Sol. Colloids are a mixture in which one substance is divided into minute particles (called colloidal particles) and dispersed throughout a second substance. The substances are present as larger particles than those found in solution, but are too small to be seen with a microscope.

S6.Ans. (b)
Sol. Speed is not a vector quantity as it doesn’t have direction. It only provides magnitude.

S7.Ans. (b)
Sol. Sodium azide is used in airbag, used for safety of car driver. Under room temperature, sodium azide is a stable compound. However when heated by an impulse it disintegrates to produce sodium and nitrogen. It only takes about 50-100 grams sodium azide to produce enough nitrogen gas to fill a normal air bag for driver.

S8.Ans. (b)
Sol. An object when thrown upwards reaches a certain height and then falls downward due to pull by gravitational force of the earth. In absence of gravitational force of the earth object wouldn’t fall back.

S9.Ans. (c)
Sol. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. The proportions of zinc and copper can vary between different types of brass alloys having different mechanical and electrical properties.

S10.Ans. (b)
Sol. Homeostatic regulation includes sweating. It is the main process through which the body gets coolness.
