Total Questions: 100

21. Select the non-metal from the

Correct Answer: (3) Sulphur
Solution:The non-metal from the following is sulphur.
  • Non-metals are elements that do not have the properties of metals.
  • They are typically poor conductors of heat and electricity, and they are not malleable or ductile.
  • Non-metals are also often found in gases or liquids.

24. If a body covers 100 km in 5 hours its speed will be :

Correct Answer: (1) 20 km/hour
Solution:The speed of a body is the distance it covers per unit time. In this case, the body covers 100 km in 5 hours. Therefore, its speed is:
  • Speed = Distance / Time = 100 km / 5 hours = 20 km/hour

25. Which is the best conductor of heat from the following?

Correct Answer: (1) Silver
Solution:Silver is the best conductor of heat and electricity.
  • Silver is a metal that is known for its excellent thermal conductivity.
  • This means that it is very good at transferring heat.
  • Silver is often used in heat sinks and other applications where heat transfer is important.
  • Aluminium is also a good conductor of heat, but it is not as good as silver.
  • Wood and kerosene are poor conductors of heat.

26. Night blindness is caused due to the deficiency of:

Correct Answer: (3) Vitamin A
Solution:Night blindness is caused due to the deficiency of vitamin A (Retiol).
  • Vitamin A is essential for the production of rhodopsin, a pigment in the retina that helps us to see in low light.
  • When we are deficient in vitamin A, we have less rhodopsin, which makes it difficult to see in low light conditions.

27. Cockroach breathe through network of air tubes called_________.

Correct Answer: (4) Trachea
Solution:Cockroaches breathe through a network of air tubes called trachea.
  • These trachea are connected to small openings on the sides of the cockroach's body called spiracles.
  • Oxygen enters the cockroach's body through the spiracles and diffuses through the trachea to the body's tissues.
  • Carbon dioxide diffuses from the body's tissues to the trachea and exits the body through the spiracles.

28. Which of the following is not a deficiency disease?

Correct Answer: (4) Malaria
Solution:Malaria is a parasitic disease, not a deficiency disease.
  • Deficiency diseases are caused by a lack of essential nutrients in the diet.
  • Malaria is caused by the Plasmodium parasite, which is transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito.
  • Common deficiency diseases include:

◆ Anaemia (iron deficiency)

◆ Goitre (iodine deficiency)

◆ Scurvy (vitamin C deficiency)

◆ Rickets (vitamin D deficiency)

◆ Beriberi (vitamin B, deficiency)

◆ Pellagra (vitamin B, deficiency)

29. The planet which appears red dish in colour is :

Correct Answer: (2) Mars
Solution:The planet which appears reddish in colour is Mars.
  • It is also known as the Red Planet because of the iron oxide (FₑO) in its soil.
  • phobos and Deimos are the Satellite of Marsh planet.
  • Venus is covered in a thick cloud layer, which makes it appear white or yellow.
  • Earth is blue because of the water in its oceans and atmosphere.
  • Mercury is a gray color because of the lack of atmosphere.
