Q1. The basic property of a fluid that makes it different from solids
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

fluids can flow due to unbalanced forces between the atoms of fluids.

Q2. Where is ciliated epithelium found in human body?
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

The ciliated epithelium is mainly present in the inner surface of hollow organs like bronchioles and fallopian tubes.

Q3. The five kingdom classification was proposed by
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Five kingdom classification was proposed by R.H. Whittaker in 1969. The kingdoms identified by him were Monera, Protista,Fungi, Plantae and Animalia.

Q4. Which of the following is not a mixed/composite gland?
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

A gland that contain both exocrine and endocrine portion is called mixed or composite gland. These glands secretes both hormone and enzymes. Pineal gland is an example of endocrine gland.

Q5. In which among the following year was ‘liberalised industrial policy’ in India was announced for the first time?
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Liberalised Industrial Policy was introduced in 1991 in India. Because before that all the industries needed licensing and permission from government to commence their business, this resulted in depletion of Entrepreneurial spirit. Hence resulted in Backwardness of Indian Industry

Q6. The demand curve for foreign exchange is
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q7. There is difference or variation among the values. The degree of variation is evaluated by various measures of
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q8. Given below is a table comparing the effects of sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system for four features (1-4) which one feature is correctly described?
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q9. Chemistry does not play a major role in
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Chemistry does not deal in explaining superconductivity.

*In superconducting materials the charecteristics of superconductivity appear when the temperature is lowered below a critical temperature.

*The onset of superconductivity is accompanied  by abrupt changes in physical properties which are more related to phase transitions of the material .

These aspects of  studies in properties of materials  are better related to studies in the fields of Physics , eventhough  principles involved in Chemistry & Physics go hand to hand. 


Q10. Kinetic theory explains the behavior
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

The theory for ideal gases makes the following assumptions 1. Gases consist of particles in constant, random motion. They continue in a straight line until they collide with something—usually each other or the walls of their container. 2. Particles are point masses with no volume. The particles are so small compared to the space between them, that we do not consider their size in ideal gases. 3. No molecular forces are at work. This means that there is no attraction or repulsion between the particles. 4. Gas pressure is due to the molecules colliding with the walls of the container. All of these collisions are perfectly elastic, meaning that there is no change in energy of either the particles or the wall upon collision. No energy is lost or gained from collisions. 5. The time it takes to collide is negligible compared with the time between collisions. 6. The kinetic energy of a gas is a measure of its Kelvin temperature. Individual gas molecules have different speeds, but the temperature and kinetic energy of the gas refer to the average of these speeds. 7. The average kinetic energy of a gas particle is directly proportional to the temperature. An increase in temperature increases the speed in which the gas molecules move. 8. All gases at a given temperature have the same average kinetic energy. 9. Lighter gas molecules move faster than heavier molecules.
