Under the industrial policy of 1991, the number of industries reserved for the public sector were reduced from 17 to only 8, which were considered to be of strategic importance.
Enthalpy of combustion of carbon to CO2is –393.5 kJ mol−1. Calculate the heat released upon formation of 35.2 g of CO2from carbon and dioxygen gas.
Answer : Option AExplaination / Solution: when 1 mole of CO2 is produced energy released is –393.5 kJ mol−1Moles of CO2given =35.2/44 =0.8 moles So energy released = 0.8 x393.5 KJ/mol = 315 KJ/mol
Q5.A cell dipped in 0.5 M sucrose has no effect. It is dipped in 0.5 M NaCl, the cell will
Answer : Option AExplaination / Solution:
A cell dipped in 0.5 M sucrose has no effect due to osmosis as concentration of sucrose is more of equal to cytoplasm but 0.5 M NaCl cause exosmosis that leads to plasmolysis.

Answer : Option CExplaination / Solution:
Crop improvement programme is carried out to obtain crops with desired traits that may be more yields, resistance to disease, higher nutrient value etc. Two plants having desired traits are hybridized to obtain combination of desired traits.
Q9.The elements charecterised by the filling of 4 f-orbitals, are:
Answer : Option AExplaination / Solution: The two rows of elements at the bottom of the Periodic Table, called the Lanthanoids, Ce(Z = 58) – Lu(Z = 71) and Actinoids, Th(Z = 90) – Lr (Z = 103) are characterised by the outer electronic configuration (n-2)f1-14 (n-1)d0-1ns2. The last electron added to each element is filled in f- orbital. These two series of elements are hence called the Inner-Transition Elements (f-Block Elements).
