Q1. Identify the normally radioactive material in the following list. Q1. Identify the normally radioactive material in the following list.
(A) Plutonium (A) Plutonium
(B) Germanium (B) Germanium
(C) Osmium (C) Osmium
(D) Cadmium (D) Cadmium
Answer: (A) Plutonium Answer: (A) Plutonium
Plutonium is the only radioactive element in the list.
Plutonium is a radioactive, silvery-gray, metallic element with the symbol Pu and atomic number 94. It has a high surface tension and viscosity compared to other metals, and tarnishes when exposed to air. Plutonium is created in a reactor when uranium atoms absorb neutrons, and is a by-product of nuclear power plants. It is the main fuel in fast neutron reactors, and more than one-third of the energy produced in most nuclear power plants comes from plutonium. Plutonium has five common isotopes, each with a different half-life, which is the time it takes to lose half of its radioactivityPlutonium is the only radioactive element in the list.

What is one word substitution of the phrase?
What is one word substitution of the phrase?
(A) zoology (A) zoology
(B) etymology (B) etymology
(C) biology (C) biology
(D) geology (D) geology
Answer: (D) geology Answer: (D) geology
Substitute Word: geology.
Geology is a broad term that encompasses the study of Earth's solid, liquid, and gaseous parts, as well as the processes that shape them. It includes the study of rocks, minerals, fossils, and the history of the planet.Substitute Word: geology.

Q2. Beyond what distance a normal eye can see objects clearly? Q2. Beyond what distance a normal eye can see objects clearly?
(A) 20 cm (A) 20 cm
(B) 30 cm (B) 30 cm
(C) 25 cm (C) 25 cm
(D) 35 cm (D) 35 cm
Answer: (C) 25 cm Answer: (C) 25 cm
For a clear vision, the image must be on the retina. The image distance is therefore fixed for clear vision and it equals the distance of retina from eye lens. It is about 25 cm for a grown up person. A person can theoretically have clear vision of an object situated at any large distance from the eye.For a clear vision, the image must be on the retina.

(D) Vaccum (D) Vaccum
Answer: (D) Vaccum Answer: (D) Vaccum
Sound waves cannot travel in a vacuum. It can travel only through a material medium. e.g., solids, liquids and gases.Sound waves cannot travel in a vacuum. It can travel only through a material medium. e.g., solids, liquids and gases.
Q4. What is the outermost layer of the Earth? Q4. What is the outermost layer of the Earth?
(A) Mantle (A) Mantle
(B) Core (B) Core
(C) Crust (C) Crust
(D) Caldera (D) Caldera
Answer: (C) Crust Answer: (C) Crust
Crust
The structure of the Earth is divided into four major concentric layers: inner core, outer core, mantle and crust (the outermost layer). The crust is made up of tectonic plates, which are in constant motion.Crust

Q6. What is the lower fixed point of fahrenheit scale? Q6. What is the lower fixed point of fahrenheit scale?
(A) 0°F (A) 0°F
(B) 32°F (B) 32°F
(C) 180°F (C) 180°F
(D) 212°F (D) 212°F
Answer: (B) 32°F Answer: (B) 32°F
The lower fixed point in Fahrenheit scale is 32 degree and upper fixed point in Fahrenheit scale is 212 degree. The difference between the two is 180, hence number of division is 180.The lower fixed point in Fahrenheit scale is 32 degree and upper fixed point in Fahrenheit scale is 212 degree. The difference between the two is 180, hence number of division is 180.

Q10. What is the audible range of frequencies for normal human ears? Q10. What is the audible range of frequencies for normal human ears?
(A) 20 Hz to 2000 Hz (A) 20 Hz to 2000 Hz
(B) 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz (B) 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz
(C) 200 Hz to 2000 Hz (C) 200 Hz to 2000 Hz
(D) 200 Hz to 20,000 Hz (D) 200 Hz to 20,000 Hz
Answer: (B) 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz Answer: (B) 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz
The audible range of an average human ear lies between 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Humans cannot hear sounds having frequency less than 20 Hz and greater than 20,000 Hz.The audible range of an average human ear lies between 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz.
