Solutions

S1.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.

S2.Ans. (d)
Sol. Methyl Isocyanate gas (MIC) is used in preparation of agricultural product pesticide, a posionous substance.

S3.Ans. (c)
Sol. Interference at thin films causes colouring of soap bubble.

S4.Ans. (a)
Sol. Rainbow is formed due to refraction, reflection and dispersion of light through a water droplet.

S5.Ans. (c)
Sol. The smooth muscle fibres taper at both ends (fusiform) and do not show striations. Cell junctions hold them together and they are bundled together in a connective tissue sheath. The wall of internal organs such as the blood vessels, stomach and intestine contain this type of muscle tissue.

S6.Ans. (b)
Sol. As the swing rises, its kinetic energy changes to potential energy; as with height potential energy P.E. = mgh increases. And according to law of conservation of energy total energy E = K.E + P. E constant.

S7.Ans. (d)
Sol. Liquids expand for the same reason, but because the bonds between separate molecules are usually less tight they expand more than solids. This is the principle behind liquid-in-glass thermometers.

S8.Ans. (c)
Sol. As the body moves with a constant speed v along a straight line or rectilinear path hence body undergoes a uniform velocity. Here direction of the moving body is unchanged.

S9.Ans. (c)
Sol. The henry (H) is the Standard International (SI) unit of inductance. Reduced to base SI units, one henry is the equivalent of one kilogram meter squared per second squared per ampere squared (kg m 2 s -2 A -2).

S10.Ans. (c)
Sol. When a body is immersed in a fluid, the fluid exerts an upward force on it, called buoyant force. and buoyant force ∝ density of fluid. As the density of sea water is higher than that of the fresh water. So extra buoyant force and ship will rise a little higher.
