  1. plasticity

  2. elasticity

  3. hardness

  4. absorbency

  5. waterproof


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Elasticity is the ability of materials to return into its original shape when a force is removed. For eg., rubber band

What will happen if petrol is mixed with water and stirred?

  1. Crystals of petrol will form.

  2. Petrol will form a separate layer below the water.

  3. Petrol will form a separate layer on the surface of water.

  4. Petrol and water form a single layer.

  5. Water and petrol together will make a thick solution.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Yes, petrol will form a separate layer on the surface of water because petrol is immiscible in water.

Aerated water (soft drinks) contains ___________.

  1. nitrogen

  2. methane

  3. carbon di oxide

  4. helium

  5. argon


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Aerated water contains dissolved carbon di oxide.

Most balloons, tyres and footballs are made of rubber. This is because rubber is

  1. naturally available

  2. cheap

  3. an electrical insulator

  4. soft and flexible

  5. light weight


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Rubber is soft and flexible, due to this it is used mostly in balloons, tyres and footballs.

A needle and a knife both belong to the same group because

  1. they are transparent

  2. they are hard and magnetic

  3. they float on water

  4. they are poor conductors of heat

  5. they are poor conductors of heat


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Yes, they are both hard and magnetic, so they belong to same group.

A vendor sells white powdered salt mixed with powdered stone. The knowledge of which property will help you detect this malpractice?

  1. Opacity

  2. Texture

  3. Density

  4. Solubility

  5. Magnetic property


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Solubility will help us to detect this malpractice because powdered salt is soluble in water but powdered stone is insoluble in water.

Paper bags are preferred over plastic because

  1. plastic bags are light

  2. paper bags are stronger

  3. plastic bags are not bio-degradable

  4. paper bags are not biodegradable

  5. paper bags are not transparent


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Yes, plastic bags are not bio-degradable, so they cause the soil pollution.

Door locks are made of metals because metals

  1. have lustre

  2. are opaque

  3. are insoluble in water

  4. are hard and strong

  5. are naturally available


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Yes, due to the hardness and the strength of the metals, door locks are made up of metals.

Why does 1 kg of iron occupy less space as compared to 1 kg sponge?

  1. Iron has less density than sponge.

  2. Iron has more density than sponge.

  3. Iron is hard but sponge is soft.

  4. Iron has magnetic property but sponge has not.

  5. Iron has lustre but sponge has not.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Yes, the density of the iron is more than sponge, due to this 1 kg iron occupies less space but sponge occupies more space.

Why do chalk pieces first float on water, but after sometime sink?

  1. Chalk is white in color.

  2. Chalk is a metal.

  3. Chalk in soluble in water.

  4. Chalk is opaque.

  5. Chalk is porous.


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Yes, chalk is porous, so it absorbs water; as a result, after some time it becomes heavier and sinks.

Kerosene floats on water because

  1. kerosene has more density

  2. kerosene has less energy

  3. the density of water is more than kerosene

  4. water has more weight

  5. kerosene has a bad odour


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The density of water is more than kerosene, so it floats on water.

Which of the following substance is in crystalline form?

  1. Coal

  2. Wax

  3. Sugar

  4. Clay

  5. Rubber


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Sugar is a crystalline solid, because it has regular arrangement of atoms.

Metals can be drawn into thin wires. This property is called

  1. elasticity

  2. volatility

  3. ductility

  4. malleability

  5. solubility


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Ductility means metals are drawn into wires.

Which of the following has reddish brown color?

  1. Gold

  2. Copper

  3. Iron

  4. Silver

  5. Zinc


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The color of copper is reddish brown.

By dropping some water on a glowing electric bulb, it bursts. This is because glass is a

  1. good conductor of heat

  2. bad conductor of heat

  3. transparent substance

  4. good conductor of electricity

  5. bad conductor of electricity


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Glass is a bad conductor of heat, due to this the water cools the outer surface of the bulb,  it contracts but the inner surface of bulb remains hot. This causes it to burst.

Which of the following is the most essential property of a substance to be used as a cooking vessel?

  1. Conductance of heat

  2. Ductility

  3. Conductance of electricity

  4. Malleability

  5. Elasticity


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Conductance of heat is the most essential property of a substance for a cooking vessel. Due to this property, vessel heats quickly.

Overhead cables need not be insulated because

  1. bare wires shine brightly

  2. air is a good conductor of electricity

  3. bare wires conduct electricity better than insulated wires

  4. they are not dangerous due to height

  5. air is a bad conductor of electricity


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

As we know that air is a bad conductor of electricity, so the chances of transmission of electricity are about nil. So, overhead cables need not to be insulated.

Electric cables are made up of

  1. silver

  2. plastic

  3. copper

  4. lead

  5. rubber


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The electric cables are made from copper because copper is a good conductor of electricity and not so much costly.
