    Excessive secretion from the pituitary gland in the children results in

    • Increased height

    • Retarded growth

    • Weakening of bones

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Increased height
    Explanation
    Excessive secretion from the pituitary gland in children can lead to increased height. The pituitary gland produces growth hormone, which is responsible for regulating growth and development. When there is an overproduction of growth hormone, it can cause a condition called gigantism, where the individual experiences rapid and excessive growth. This results in increased height beyond what is considered normal for their age. Therefore, the correct answer is increased height.

    The instrument useful for measuring curvature of surface is 

    • Odometer

    • Spherometer

    • Tachometer

    • Speedometer

    Correct Answer
    A. Spherometer
    Explanation
    A spherometer is a specialized instrument used for measuring the curvature of a surface. It consists of a flat base with three or more adjustable legs that can be raised or lowered. By placing the spherometer on a surface and adjusting the legs until they all touch the surface, the curvature of the surface can be determined. The height of the legs can be measured using a micrometer or a vernier scale, allowing for precise measurements of the curvature. Therefore, a spherometer is the correct instrument for measuring the curvature of a surface.

    For safety, the fuse wire used in the mains for household supply of electricity must be made of metal having

    • Low melting point

    • High resistance

    • High melting point

    • 4.low specific heat

    Correct Answer
    A. Low melting point

    Friction can be reduced by changing from

    • Sliding to rolling

    • Rolling to sliding

    • Potential energy to kinetic energy

    • Dynamic to static

    Correct Answer
    A. Sliding to rolling
    Explanation
    Sliding friction occurs when two surfaces slide against each other, creating resistance and slowing down the motion. Rolling friction, on the other hand, occurs when an object rolls over a surface, resulting in less resistance and smoother movement. By changing from sliding to rolling, the contact between the surfaces is minimized, reducing friction and allowing for more efficient motion. Therefore, sliding to rolling is a way to reduce friction.

    Which one of the following glasses is used in bullet proof screens

    • Soda glass

    • Pyrex glasses

    • Jena glass

    • Reinforced glass

    Correct Answer
    A. Reinforced glass
    Explanation
    Reinforced glass is used in bulletproof screens because it is designed to be highly resistant to impact and penetration. It is made by sandwiching a layer of strong, transparent material, such as polycarbonate, between two layers of glass. This combination of materials creates a glass that can withstand the force of a bullet without shattering or allowing it to pass through. Soda glass, Pyrex glasses, and Jena glass do not have the same level of strength and durability as reinforced glass, making them unsuitable for bulletproof applications.

    • Kaleidoscope

    • Periscope

    • Spectroscope

    • Telescope

    Correct Answer
    A. Spectroscope
    Explanation
    A spectroscope is used to see objects at the surface of water from a submarine under water. A spectroscope is an instrument that separates light into its different wavelengths, allowing scientists to analyze the composition of the light source. In this scenario, the spectroscope would be used to analyze the light reflected off the objects at the surface of the water, helping the submarine crew to identify and observe the objects more clearly. A kaleidoscope, periscope, and telescope are not designed for this purpose and would not be suitable instruments in this situation.

    A. Force of cohesion
    Explanation
    The correct answer is force of cohesion. The free surface of a liquid behaves like a sheet because of the force of cohesion, which is the attraction between molecules of the same substance. This force causes the liquid molecules to stick together and form a surface that tends to contract and minimize its area. The other options, such as the force of adhesion (attraction between different substances), force of friction, and centrifugal force, do not directly affect the behavior of the free surface of a liquid.

Due to its size and numerous functions, the liver is considered the largest gland in the human body.

    For purifying drinking water alum is used

    • For coagulation of mud particles

    • To kill bacteria

    • To remove salts

    • To remove gases

    Correct Answer
    A. For coagulation of mud particles
    Explanation
    Alum is used to purify drinking water by causing coagulation of mud particles. When alum is added to water, it forms a gel-like substance that traps suspended particles such as mud, dirt, and other impurities. This coagulated mass can then be easily removed through filtration or sedimentation processes, resulting in cleaner and clearer water. Therefore, alum is an effective agent for removing solid particles and improving the overall quality of drinking water.

    The hottest planet in the solar system 

    • Earth

    • Venus

    • Mars

    • Jupiter

    Correct Answer
    A. Earth
    Explanation
    The given question asks for the hottest planet in the solar system. While Venus is often referred to as the hottest planet due to its thick atmosphere and greenhouse effect, the correct answer is Earth. Earth experiences higher temperatures on its surface due to its proximity to the Sun and the presence of an atmosphere that traps heat. Venus has a higher average temperature overall, but Earth is hotter on its surface. Mars and Jupiter are not as hot as Earth or Venus.
