Solutions

S1.Ans. (b)
Sol. The most common image file formats, the most important for cameras, printing, scanning, and internet use, are JPG, TIF, PNG, and GIF. JPG isthe most used image file format.JPG isthe file extension forJPEG files(Joint Photographic Experts Group, committee of ISO and ITU).

S2.Ans. (b)
Sol. Netiquette, etiquette in cyber space, has increased its importance. Netiquette includes refraining from offensive comments, avoiding all capital letters because it looks like shouting, not forwarding e-mail messages without the original sender’s permission, and not forwarding jokes or any other items that may crowd the recipient’s inbox.

S3.Ans. (c)
Sol. A Webmercial is an online video commercial that promotes a service or product. Each Webmercial is uploaded to your BBCanada.com page and several video websites; YouTube, Dailymotion and Metacafe.

S4.Ans. (b)
Sol. Protoplasm is the whole content of a cell enclosed within the cell membrane, including both the cytoplasm and nucleus.

S5.Ans. (a)
Sol. The law is named after Amedeo Avogadro who, in 1811, hypothesized that two given samples of an ideal gas, of the same volume and at the same temperature and pressure, contain the same number of molecules.

S6.Ans. (a)
Sol. High-altitude cooking is the opposite of pressure cooking in that the boiling point of water is lower at higher altitudes due to the decreased atmospheric pressure. This may require an increase in cooking times or temperature and alterations of recipe ingredients.

S7.Ans. (a)
Sol. In Earth’s atmosphere nitrogen is most abundant while oxygen is the second most abundant.

S8.Ans. (a)
Sol. As a certain impulse applied for a short time will give a large force so the chinaware breaks into pieces. Therefore, chinaware is wrapped in straw of paper while packing so that the event of fall (impact) will take a longer time to reach the chinaware through straw of paper and hence the average force exerted on the chinaware is small and chances of its breaking reduce.

S9.Ans. (d)
Sol. For both stationary and moving objects with unchanging speed and direction, all the forces acting on the objects are in balance with each other, i.e. they all cancel each other.

S10.Ans. (d)
Sol. Firefox is a Web browser while all others are operating systems.
