View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

Hydrogen and Oxygen

Why this answer is correct

The correct answer is Option 4, i.e Hydrogen, and Oxygen.

  • Among chemical properties, Mendeleev concentrated on the compounds formed by the elements with Hydrogen and Oxygen.
  • The reason why Mendeleev concentrated on the compounds formed by the elements with Hydrogen and Oxygen is they are highly reactive and hence formed compounds with almost all the elements.
  • Mendeleev concentrated on the oxides and hydrides of various elements to study their chemical properties.
  • Dmitri Mendeleev is known as the father of the Periodic Table.
  • Periodic laws were put forwarded by Mendeleev.
  • Mendeleev formulated a periodic law, which states that "The properties of elements are the periodic function of their atomic masses".

  1. AOption (a)

    10 liters

  2. BOption (b)

    12 liters

  3. COption (c)

    15 liters

  4. DOption (d)

    18 liters

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

15 liters

Why this answer is correct

Given:

Aman has 10L of a solution that is 10% nitric acid by volume.

He wants to dilute the solution to 4% strength by adding water.

Concept used:

Basic concept of addition and subtraction of quantity in the mixture.

Calculation:

Quantity of nitric acid = 10 × (1/10) = 1 liters

Water = 10 – 1

⇒ 9 liters

Let y liter of water be added,

(10 + y ) × (4/100) = 1

On solving, we get y = 15 liters

∴ 15 liters of water should be added.

Question 359

MP Forest Guard 2026• Test

The perimeter of a rectangle and a square is 160 cm each. If the difference between their areas is 600 cm2. Find the area of the rectangle.

  1. AOption (a)

    900 cm2

  2. BOption (b)

    1000 cm2

  3. COption (c)

    1200 cm2

  4. DOption (d)

    800 cm2

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

1000 cm2

Why this answer is correct

Given:

The perimeter of a rectangle and a square is 160 cm each.

The difference between their areas is 600 cm2.

Formula used:

  1. Area of rectangle = length × breadth
  2. Area of square = side2
  3. Perimeter of rectangle = 2(length + breadth)
  4. Perimeter of square = 4 × side

Calculation:

Let S and R be the area of square and area of rectangle respectively.

According to the question,

⇒ 2(l + b) = 160

⇒ l + b = 80

⇒ 4a = 160

⇒ a = 40

Side length of the square = 40 cm

Area of square = 402 = 1600

Now, 

⇒ Required difference in their respective area = 600

⇒ Required difference in their respective area = S - R = 600

⇒ 1600 - R = 600

⇒ R = 1000 cm2

Therefore, "1000 cm2" is the required answer.

Question 360

MP Forest Guard 2026• Test

Thermal conductivity of solid metals with rise in temperature normally;

  1. AOption (a)

    increases

  2. BOption (b)

    decreases

  3. COption (c)

    remains constant

  4. DOption (d)

    may increase or decrease depending on temperature

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

decreases

Why this answer is correct

Thermal conductivity of any material is dependent on two things:

i. The motion of free electrons

ii. Lattice vibrations

The thermal conductivity of gases increases with temperature.

Thermal conductivity of liquids decreases with increasing temperature as the liquid expands and the molecules move apart.

In the case of solids, because of lattice distortions, higher temperatures make it difficult for electrons to flow, hence the thermal conductivity of metals decreases.

Note:

  • Thermal conductivity depends on the chemical composition of the substance.
  • Thermal conductivity of the liquids is more than the gasses and the metals have the highest.
  • Thermal conductivity of the gases increases with the increase in temperature.
  • Thermal conductivity of the metal decreases with the increase in temperature.
  • Metal, crystalline in structure, have greater thermal conductivity than non-metal.
  • Thermal conductivity is affected by the phase change.
