Which of the following is a favourable condition for producing biogas?

  1. Cow dung and vegetable waste decomposed in the presence of oxygen

  2. Cow dung and vegetable waste decomposed in the absence of oxygen

  3. Cow dung and vegetable waste decomposed in the presence of oxygen and natural gas

  4. Cow dung and vegetable waste decomposed in the presence of oxygen and chlorine


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Cow dung and vegetable waste are decomposed in the absence of oxygen to give gobar gas, also called biogas.

The energy gained by an object due to change in its shape is

  1. potential energy

  2. kinetic energy

  3. magnetic energy

  4. electric energy


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The energy gained by an object due to change in its shape is potential energy. Hence, option (1) is correct.

The quality of a tone

  1. decreases with loudness

  2. varies directly as pitch

  3. depends upon the overtones that are present there

  4. varies inversely as its frequency


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The quality of a tone depends upon the overtones that are present there.

Radar is a/an

  1. device used for detecting distant objects

  2. instrument used for measuring rate of chemical reaction

  3. instrument used for measuring radioactivity

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Radar is a device used for detecting distant objects.

The maximum displacement of a vibrating body from its rest or mean position is called its

  1. time period

  2. vibration

  3. frequency

  4. amplitude


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The maximum displacement of a vibrating body from its rest or mean position is called its amplitude.

Human beings cannot hear sounds of frequencies below

  1. 10 Hz

  2. 15 Hz

  3. 20 Hz

  4. 30 Hz


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Human beings cannot hear sounds of frequencies below 20 Hz.

The sky appears blue because the Earth`s atmosphere

  1. scatters blue light the most

  2. transmits blue light

  3. refracts blue light

  4. refracts blue light more than the light of other colours


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The sky appears blue because the Earth`s atmosphere scatters blue light the most.

A red cross on a white background, when seen through a red filter,

  1. will appear as red cross on a white background

  2. will appear as red cross on a black background

  3. will appear as black cross on a red background

  4. will become invisible


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A red cross on a white background, when seen through a red filter, will become invisible.

The working of a dynamo is based on the principle of

  1. electromagnetic induction

  2. magnetic effect of current

  3. heating effect of current

  4. chemical effect of current


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The working of a dynamo is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction.

Asha lifts a doll from the floor and places it on a table. If the weight of the doll is known, what else does one need to know in order to calculate the work done by Asha on the doll?

  1. Time taken

  2. Height of the table

  3. Mass of the ball

  4. Cost of the doll and table


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Work done is mgh. Here, we know the weight or mg, so we need to know the height of the table where the doll is placed in order to calculate work done.

When a body is negatively charged by friction, it means the body has

  1. lost some electrons

  2. lost some protons

  3. acquired excess of electrons

  4. acquired excess of protons


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Whenever two different materials rub against each other, it is likely that one will leave with more electrons than it started with. And since electrons are negatively charged, so when a body is negatively charged by friction, it means the body has acquired excess of electrons.

The condition for an electric charge to flow from one point to another is that the two points must have electric

  1. circuit

  2. cell

  3. current

  4. potential difference


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The condition for an electric charge to flow from one point to another is that the two points must have electric potential difference.

The line passing through the pole and the centre of curvature of a spherical mirror is called its

  1. radius of curvature

  2. principal axis

  3. focal length

  4. aperture


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The line passing through the pole and the centre of curvature of a spherical mirror is called its principal axis.

If the resistance of a conductor is increased, current will

  1. increase

  2. decrease

  3. remain the same

  4. first increase and then decrease


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

We know V = IR, where V is the voltage, I is the current and R is the resistance. I is inversely proportional to R. So, if the resistance of a conductor is increased, current will decrease.

Which of the following units is different from the others?

  1. Joule

  2. Kilowatt hour

  3. Erg

  4. Watt


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Correct option is (4).

Which of the following instruments measure(s) time with maximum accuracy?

  1. Sun dial

  2. Sand clock

  3. Quartz clock

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Correct option is (3).

Light year is a unit of

  1. intensity of illumination

  2. distance

  3. time

  4. parallax


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Light year is a unit of distance.

Which of the following types of energy cannot be used on a cloudy day?

  1. Nuclear energy

  2. Wind energy

  3. Solar energy

  4. Geothermal energy


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Solar energy cannot be used on a cloudy day as it requires sunlight for its operation.

Which process makes it possible to transfer heat in vacuum?

  1. Radiation

  2. Convection

  3. Induction

  4. Conduction


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Radiation is the form of heat transfer that can occur in the absence of a medium. Thus, it is possible to transfer heat in vacuum through the process of radiation.

Which of the following statements is true for a wind energy farm?

  1. A wind energy farm requires a small area of land.

  2. The place where the farm is set up should have wind speed of at least 15 km/hr for a major part of the year.

  3. A wind energy farm is maintenance-free.

  4. No backup facilities are needed in a wind energy farm.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The wind speed should be more than 15 km/hr to maintain the required speed of the turbine.
