Answers :

1). Answer: B

In material science, ductility is a solid material’s ability to deform under tensile stress; this is often characterized by the material’s ability to be stretched into a wire.The most ductile metal is platinum while the most malleable is gold.

2). Answer: C

We use Air Conditioning to improve thermal comfort and indoor air quality. So we use “Freon gas” In AC, which is merely a marked name for dichlorodifluoromethane. It adds to ozone depletion and thus the Global warming effects. Because, when the CFC escape from the unit it quickly rises up to the ozone layer.

3). Answer: D

A compound microscope uses multiple lenses to magnify an image for an observer. It is made of two convex lenses: the first, the ocular lens, is close to the eye; the second is the objective lens. Compound microscopes are much larger, heavier and more expensive than simple microscopes because of the multiple lenses.

4). Answer: B

A prism is an optical element. It has polished flat surfaces that refract light. The traditional geometric shape of a prism has a triangular base and two rectangular sides. It is called triangular prism.

A prism can be made from materials like glass, plastic and fluorite. It can be used to split light into its components.

5). Answer: D

Lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium and caesium are easily reacting with water. It uses these reactions to explore the trend in reactivity in Group 1. All of these metals react vigorously or even explosively with cold water.

6). Answer: D

The mole is the SI base unit for the amount of a substance. It is currently defined by comparison with the number of atoms in 12 g of Carbon-12.

7). Answer: D

Many people believe that American biologist James Watson and English physicist Francis Crick discovered DNA in the 1950.

8). Answer: B

9). Answer: C

Hugo de Vries, who proposed the mutation theory of evolution more than a century ago and that he unknowingly found the importance of polyploidy and chromosomal rearrangements in plant speciation.

10). Answer: C

Triticumsativum is the scientific name of Wheat.
