Solutions

S1.Ans. (a)
Sol. Radioactive dating is a technique which can be used to measure the age of rocks etc. In this process the half age of radio active is measured and on the basis of the quantity remaining after half the age of the rock, wood etc. is measured.

S2.Ans. (d)
Sol. Green leaf perform important functions which includes manufacturing of food, Interchange of gases and evaporation of water. But it doesn’t include conduction of food and water.

S3.Ans. (c)
Sol. In plane mirror, the image distance always equals the object distance. Therefore, when the distance between the object and the plane mirror increases then the distance between the image and the plane mirror also increases.

S4.Ans. (d)
Sol. CO2, H2O, chlorophyll and light are necessary for the process of photosynthesis which occurs in autotrophs.

S5.Ans. (a)
Sol. The inexhaustive source of energy of stars is the conversion of Hydrogen in Hellium. The major part of sun is made up of Hydrogen and Helium and it’s inner temperature is 107° K. In such a high temperature in the fusion of hydrogen Nucleas take place which results in the releases of huge energy.

S6.Ans. (c)
Sol. Bone marrow is located within the bone cavities. It is composed of stromal cells and parenchymal cells. Neutrophils and lymphocytes are blood cells which are produced within bone marrow.

S7.Ans. (b)
Sol. The blood group of father of the child could be A or B or O.

S8.Ans. (b)
Sol. White blood cells (WBC) bring out the function of body defence.

S9.Ans. (c)
Sol. Newton’s 2nd Law – The rate of Change of momentum always acts in the direction of resultant force acting on a body = (F = ma) (where m = mass; a = aceeleration).

S10.Ans. (c)
Sol. Silica and aluminium are the two main constituents of granite. Granite contains 70-77% of silica and 11-13% of aluminium in the form of (Al2O3).
