  3. ((c))

    Adjective

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

The correct answer is Option 1.

 

Key Points

  • The term "fighting" is used as a noun in the given sentence.
  • It represents an action or a thing, not an action being performed (which would make it a verb).
  • In this context, it refers to the event of combat or conflict.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.

 

Additional Information

  • Option 2: Verb – "Fighting" can be a verb in other contexts, but here it acts as a noun.
  • Option 3: Adjective – "Fighting" does not describe any noun here, so it's not an adjective.
  • Option 4: Adverb – "Fighting" is not modifying any verb, adjective, or other adverb here.

  4. ((d))

    A letter is being written by her.

Show Answer
Answer: ((d))

A letter is being written by her.

The correct answer is Option 4.

 

Key Points

  • To convert a sentence from active to passive voice, the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence.
  • The verb form should be changed to the appropriate form of "to be" followed by the past participle of the main verb.
  • The subject of the active sentence becomes the agent in the passive sentence, usually preceded by "by".
  • In this case, "She is writing a letter." becomes "A letter is being written by her."

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.

 

Correct Sentence: "A letter is being written by her."

 

Additional Information

  • Option 1: "A letter was being written by her." - Incorrect tense.
  • Option 2: "A letter has been written by her." - Incorrect aspect.
  • Option 3: "A letter was written by her." - Incorrect tense.

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

The teacher asked Sheela why she was late that day.

The correct answer is Option 3.

 

Key Points

  • In indirect narration, the question format is changed into a statement format.
  • The reporting verb "said" is changed to "asked" or "enquired" when converting a question.
  • The question mark is omitted in indirect speech.
  • "Why are you late today" changes to "why she was late that day" to maintain the correct tense and pronoun usage.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.

 

Correct Sentence: "The teacher asked Sheela why she was late that day."

 

Additional Information

  • Option 1: Incorrect placement of "was" before "she".
  • Option 2: Incorrect due to the question mark at the end.
  • Option 4: "Enquired" is less commonly used and "asked" is more appropriate in this context.

Choose the option in which the jumbled words given below have been formed into a meaningful and grammatically correct sentence.

(A) must know

(B) can help you,

(C) all the facts

(D) before I

(E) I

  1. ((a))

    (B) (D) (C) (A) (E)

  2. ((b))

    (D) (B) (E) (A) (C)

  3. ((c))

    (C) (B) (A) (E) (D)

  4. ((d))

    (A) (C) (E) (D) (B)

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

(D) (B) (E) (A) (C)

The correct answer is Option 2.

 

Key Points

  • The sentence needs to be formed in a logical and grammatically correct manner.
  • Starting with "before I" (D) indicates the prerequisite actions needed before the speaker can help.
  • The sequence should lead with (D) before introducing the subject and actions. Therefore, (B) "can help you," follows "before I" logically.
  • Next, (E) "I" must bracket the statement, completing the clause "before I can help you, I."
  • The phrase "must know" (A) must pair with "all the facts" (C) to make a complete thought "must know all the facts."
  • Thus, the correct order is (D) (B) (E) (A) (C).

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

 

Correct Sentence: Before I can help you, I must know all the facts.

 

Additional Information

  • Option 1: (B) (D) (C) (A) (E) – This sequence starts with the fragment "can help you, before I all the facts must know I," which is not grammatically correct.
  • Option 3: (C) (B) (A) (E) (D) – This sequence starts with "all the facts can help you must know I before," which doesn't make sense.
  • Option 4: (A) (C) (E) (D) (B) – This sequence starts with "must know all the facts I before can help you," which isn't logical or grammatically correct.

Identify the part of the sentence given below that has an error in it.

Have (a) / either of (b) / you saw (c) / my book? (d)

  1. ((a))

    (a)

  2. ((b))

    (b)

  3. ((c))

    (c)

  4. ((d))

    (d)

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

(c)

The correct answer is Option 3.

 

Key Points

  • The primary issue in the sentence is the incorrect verb form "saw" in part C.
  • Since the sentence is in the present perfect tense, the correct verb form should be "seen."
  • The correct phrase should be "Have either of you seen my book?" ensuring grammatical correctness and clarity.
  • Thus, the error is located in part C of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is C.

 

Correct Sentence: "Have either of you seen my book?"

 

Additional Information

  • A: "Have" – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
  • B: "either of" – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
  • D: "my book?" – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.

  2. ((b))

    was laying

  3. ((c))

    has laid

  4. ((d))

    had been laid

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

was laying

The correct answer is Option 2.

 

Key Points

  • The correct form of the verb to use in this context is "was laying" as it describes an action that was ongoing at the specific time the phone rang.
  • "Has been laying" is incorrect as it implies an action that started in the past and is still continuing.
  • "Has laid" is incorrect because it is the present perfect tense of the verb "to lay" and does not fit the past continuous context.
  • "Had been laid" is incorrect as it is the past perfect passive form, which does not fit the active context of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

 

Correct Sentence: "At the time the phone rang, she was laying the table."

 

Additional Information

  • Option 1: "has been laying" – This is incorrect because it suggests that the action started in the past and continues to the present.
  • Option 3: "has laid" – This is incorrect because it is the present perfect tense and does not fit the context of an ongoing past action.
  • Option 4: "had been laid" – This is incorrect as it is the past perfect passive form and does not match the active form required in the sentence.

  • "Broken off" generally means to detach or discontinue, which does not fit the context of an outbreak.
  • "Broken up" often refers to the end of a relationship or the scattering of a group, which is not applicable here.
  • "Broken with" implies ending an association or agreement, which is not relevant to the context of a disease outbreak.

The correct answer is Option 3.

 

Key Points

  • In the context of the sentence, "call on" is the correct phrasal verb.
  • "Call on" means to visit someone, which fits the context of visiting Delhi.
  • "Call up" means to telephone someone, which is not implied in this context.
  • "Call at" typically refers to stopping at a place, not visiting a person.

  3. ((c))

    A note for the meeting by me has been written.

  4. ((d))

    A note had been written by me for the meeting.

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

A note for the meeting has been written by me.

The correct answer is Option 2.

 

Key Points

  • Passive voice structure: The object of the active voice sentence becomes the subject of the passive voice sentence.
  • In the active voice, the sentence is: "I have written a note for the meeting."
  • To convert to passive voice: Place the object "a note for the meeting" at the beginning.
  • Change the active verb form "have written" to "has been written" (present perfect passive).
  • Add the preposition "by" followed by the original subject "me."

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

 

Correct Sentence: A note for the meeting has been written by me.

 

Additional Information

  • Option 1: "A note has been written by me for the meeting." – Grammatically correct but the placement of "for the meeting" at the end makes it less natural.
  • Option 3: "A note for the meeting by me has been written." – Incorrect word order.
  • Option 4: "A note had been written by me for the meeting." – Incorrect tense (past perfect instead of present perfect).

Show Answer
Answer: ((d))

He will at last be overpowered by a feeling of guilt.

The correct answer is Option 4.

 

Key Points

  • In passive voice, the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence.
  • The phrase "A feeling of guilt" in the active voice becomes the subject in the passive voice.
  • The phrase "will at last overpower him" should be transformed to "will at last be overpowered by a feeling of guilt."
  • Thus, the correct transformation is: "He will at last be overpowered by a feeling of guilt."

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.

 

Correct Sentence: "He will at last be overpowered by a feeling of guilt."

 

Additional Information

  • Option 1: "At last he will feel guilty being overpowered." – This sentence changes the meaning and does not accurately reflect the original sentence.
  • Option 2: "He would be at last overpowered by a feeling of guilt." – This sentence uses "would" instead of "will," which alters the meaning.
  • Option 3: "At last he will be overpowered with a feeling of guilt." – This sentence uses "with" instead of "by," which is less precise.
  • Option 4: "He will at last be overpowered by a feeling of guilt." – This is the correct transformation.

    for

  3. ((c))

    of

  4. ((d))

    at

Show Answer
Answer: ((d))

at

The correct answer is Option 4.

 

Key Points

  • In the context of the sentence, "surprised" is commonly followed by the preposition "at" when referring to someone's actions or behavior.
  • Using "at" correctly conveys the idea of being surprised by someone's notable characteristic, which in this case is "his audacity".

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.

 

Correct Sentence: "I am surprised at his audacity."

 

Additional Information

  • On: Generally not used with "surprised" in this context. Typically, "on" indicates a physical position or basis.
  • For: May imply purpose or reason, but it is not commonly used with "surprised" to denote reaction to someone's behavior.
  • Of: Sometimes used with feelings or abstract concepts, but "at" is more precise for reactions to behavior.

    without

  2. ((b))

    with

  3. ((c))

    on

  4. ((d))

    for

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

without

The correct answer is Option 1.

 

Key Points

  • The correct preposition to use in this context is "without".
  • Using "without" in the sentence makes it clear that the action will not be taken in the absence of consulting someone.
  • Other options such as "with", "on", or "for" do not fit the context and meaning of the sentence correctly.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.

 

Correct Sentence: "I will not do anything without consulting you."

 

Additional Information

  • Option 2: "with" – This would imply doing the action together with consulting, which does not make sense contextually.
  • Option 3: "on" – This preposition is not appropriate for indicating the absence of consulting.
  • Option 4: "for" – This preposition does not fit logically in the context of the sentence.

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

The king told the jester that he had often told him not to crack old jokes.

The correct answer is Option 3.

 

Key Points

  • Indirect Speech: The king told the jester that he had often told him not to crack old jokes.
  • Key Conversions:
  • "I have often told you" becomes "he had often told him"
  • Change "I" to "he" to correspond with "the king."
  • Change "have told" to "had told" to correctly shift the tense backwards.
  • Change "you" to "him" to correctly refer to "the jester."
  • "not to crack old jokes" remains unchanged
  • The imperative "not to crack" stays the same in indirect speech.
  • Punctuation and Format:
  • Remove quotation marks for indirect speech.
  • Ensure the sentence flows correctly without direct dialogue indicators.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.

 

Correct Sentence: The king told the jester that he had often told him not to crack old jokes.

 

Additional Information

  • Option 1: "The king told the jester that he had often told him not crack old jokes." – Missing "to" before "crack" makes it grammatically incorrect.
  • Option 2: "The king warned the jester not to crack old jokes." – This changes the nature of how the king communicated (warned versus told), which alters the original meaning.
  • Option 4: "The king advised the jester that he had often warned him not to crack old jokes." – This incorrectly uses "advised" and "warned" together, which changes the original meaning.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.

  3. ((c))

    99941

  4. ((d))

    99802

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

99941

Calculation:

To find the greatest number of 5 digits which is completely divisible by 139, we need to perform the following steps:

 Find the largest 5-digit number, which is 99999.

Divide 99999 by 139 and get the integer part of the quotient.

 Multiply the integer quotient by 139 to get the largest number divisible by 139.

Let's perform these calculations step-by-step:

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

66951

Given:

Digits: 3, 0, 7, 9, 6

Concept Used:

The largest number is formed by arranging the digits in descending order.

The smallest number is formed by arranging the digits in ascending order with the condition that 0 cannot be the leading digit (to ensure it remains a 5-digit number).

Calculation:

1. Form the Largest Number:

Arrange the digits in descending order: 97630.

2. Form the Smallest Number:

Arrange the digits in ascending order ensuring 0 is not at the front:

  • The smallest digit (excluding 0) is 3, so it should lead. The remaining digits should follow in ascending order: 30679.

3. Calculate the Difference:

<br>

Largest number=97630Largest number=97630Largest number=97630 \text{Largest number} = 97630

 Smallest number = 30679

\text{Difference} = 97630 - 30679

Difference = 97630 − 30679 = 66951

The difference between the largest and the smallest 5-digit numbers formed by the digits 3, 0, 7, 9, 6 is 66951.

The correct answer is Option 3) 66951.

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

(\frac{ 1}{42},\frac{ 1}{56})

Calculation:

The denominators are:

6, 12, 20, 30, ...

Let's examine the differences between consecutive terms:

12 - 6 = 6 

20 - 12 = 8 

30 - 20 = 10 

The differences between the denominators are increasing by 2 each time:

6, 8, 10, ...

Following this pattern, the next difference should be 12:

30 + 12 = 42 

After 42, the next difference should be 14:

42 + 14 = 56

So, the next two terms in the pattern will have the denominators 42 and 56.

Thus, the next two terms in the sequence are 1 /42 and 1/56.

Hence, the correct answer is: 1/42, 1/56

Given:

The equation for the multiplication is:

(234) × (3*5) = 80730

Calculation:

To find the digit that fits in the place of *, denote the missing digit as x.

(234) × (305 + 10x) = 80730

Calculate:

234 × 305 + 2340x = 80730

71370 + 2340x = 80730

2340x = 80730 - 71370

2340x = 9360

x = 9360 / 2340

x = 4

∴ The digit that replaces * to make the equation correct is 4.

Given:

A cuboid where one of the side faces is a square with an area of 36 cm², and the longer edge of each of the four rectangular faces is 12 cm.

Calculation:

As one side face is a square with each side measuring  (\sqrt{36}) = 6 cm, two dimensions of the cuboid are 6 cm.

The dimensions of the cuboid are therefore 6 cm (width), 12 cm (length), and 6 cm (height).

The rectangular faces are thus 6 cm x 12 cm.

The area of each rectangular face is:

6 cm × 12 cm = 72 cm²

∴ The area of each of the rectangular faces is 72 cm².

Given :

Joseph runs 1 km in one round of the park, the perimeter of the square is 4 times the length of one side.

Concept use:

Perimeter = 4 ×  Side

Area = Side2

 

Calculations:

Joseph runs 1 km in one round, the perimeter is also equal to 1 km.

So, 4 ×  Side = 1

Dividing both sides by 4, we get:

Side = 1/4 km

Now,

Area = Side2

= (1/4)2

= 1/16 sq km

So, the correct answer is option 4) 0.0625 sq km.

Show Answer
Answer: ((d))

54

Given:

Capacity of the refrigerator = 270 liters

Height of the refrigerator = 1 meter = 100 centimeters

Width of the refrigerator = 0.5 meters = 50 centimeters

We know that the volume of a rectangular solid is given by the formula: Volume = Length × Width × Height

Now,

Convert the capacity from liters to cubic centimeters.

1 liter = 1000 cubic centimeters

270 liters = 270 × 1000 = 270,000 cubic centimeters

 Volume = Length × Width × Height

270,000 = Length × 50 × 100 Length = 270,000 / (50 × 100)

Length = 54 centimeters

Hence, the correct answer is option 4) 54.

    Thursday

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

Wednesday

Calculation:

Determine the number of days from January 9, 2023, to April 12, 2023.

<br>

Number of days in January after January 9 = 31 - 9  = 22 days

Number of days in February = 28 days

Number of days in March = 31 days

Number of days in April up to April 12 = 12 days

Total number of days = 22 + 28 + 31 + 12 = 93 days

Divide the total number of days by 7 to find the number of weeks and the remainder.

93 days ÷ 7 = 13 weeks with a remainder of 2 days

 Since January 9, 2023, was a Monday,

we need to add the remainder of 2 days to Monday to find the day of the week for April 12, 2023. Monday + 2 days = Wednesday

Hence, April 12, 2023, is a Wednesday.

  3. ((c))

    6 km/hr

  4. ((d))

    10 km/hr

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

8 km/hr

.Given :

Distance from home to school = 4 km

Speed from home to school = 6 km/hr

Speed from school to home = 12 km/hr

Time taken = Distance / Speed Time taken = 4 km / 6 km/hr Time taken = 2/3 hours = 0.667 hours

Time taken = Distance / Speed Time taken = 4 km / 12 km/hr Time taken = 1/3 hours = 0.333 hours

Total distance = Distance from home to school + Distance from school to home

Total distance = 4 km + 4 km = 8 km

Total time taken = Time taken from home to school + Time taken from school to home

Total time taken = 0.667 hours + 0.333 hours = 1 hour

Average speed = Total distance / Total time taken Average speed = 8 km / 1 hour Average speed = 8 km/hr

Therefore, the average speed is 8 km/hr.

Hence, the correct answer is option 2) 8 km/hr.

  3. ((c))

    Rs. 201

  4. ((d))

    Rs. 198

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

Rs. 201

Calculations:

To determine the amount of money Raju spent on purchasing 66 bananas, we need to consider the cost of bananas purchased in bunches and as single bananas.

First, let's calculate the cost per banana when bought in a bunch:

Cost per banana in a bunch = 24/8 = 3 

Given that the cost of a single banana is Rs. 4.50, it's clear that buying bananas in bunches is cheaper.

So, Raju should buy as many bananas in bunches as possible.

We will calculate the number of bunches Raju can buy:

Number of bunches = 66/8 with a remainder of 2 bananas

The cost for 8 bunches:

Cost for 8 bunches = 8 ×24 = 192 Rs

 

The remaining 2 bananas will be bought as single bananas:

Cost for 2 single banana s = 2 × 4.50 = 9

Total amount spent by Raju:

Total cost = 192 + 9  = 201 Rs

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

112

Concept use:

1 litre = 1000 millilitres

Explanation:

To determine the number of small bottles needed to pack 8.4 liters of medicine, with each bottle having a capacity of 75 milliliters, we first need to convert the volume from liters to milliliters. 

Since 1 liter is equivalent to 1000 millilitres:

8.4 litres= 8.4 ×  1000  millilitres = 8400 millilitres

Next, we divide the total volume in milliliters by the capacity of each bottle:

Number of bottles = 8400/75 = 112

Thus, the number of small bottles required to pack 8.4 liters of medicine is: 112.

Given :

44% of the students are girls.

The number of boys is 448.

Let the total number of students be x.

Number of boys = 448 Number of girls = x - 448 (since the rest are girls)

We know that the percentage of girls is 44%.

44% of x = x - 448 0.44x = x - 448 0.56x = 448 x = 448 / 0.56 x = 800

 Number of girls = 44% of the total number of students Number of girls = 0.44 × 800 Number of girls = 352

Hence, the number of girls in the school is 352.

Calculation:

Step 1: Convert mixed numbers to decimals:

(\frac{2}{3} \text{ kg} = 0.67 \text{ kg} )

(2\frac{1}{3} \text{ kg} = 2 + \frac{1}{3} = 2 + 0.33 = 2.33 \text{ kg} )

(2\frac{1}{2} \text{ kg} = 2 + \frac{1}{2} = 2 + 0.50 = 2.50 \text{ kg} )

600 g = (\frac{600}{1000} \text{ kg} = 0.60 \text{ kg})

Sum the weights:

Total weight = (0.67 \text{ kg} + 2.33 \text{ kg} + 2.50 \text{ kg} + 0.60 \text{ kg})

Total weight = 0.67 + 2.33 + 2.50 + 0.60 = 6.10 

So, the total weight of vegetables bought by Sujata is 6.10 kg.

144

Concept use:

We can use the relationship between the product of two numbers (N1 × N2), their highest common factor (HCF), and their least common multiple (LCM):

N1 ×  N2 = HCF ×  LCM

Calculation

Given that the product of the two numbers is 1728 and their HCF is 12, we can rearrange the equation to find the LCM:

LCM = (N1 ×  N2) / HCF

Substituting the given values:

LCM = 1728 / 12

LCM = 144

So, the LCM of the two numbers is 144.

Show Answer
Answer: ((d))

76

Explanation:

This expression is an alternating series where each term alternates between addition and subtraction.

The pattern follows:

1 - 2 + 3 - 4 + 5 - 6 + 7 - 8 + ... + 151

To simplify this expression, we group the terms:

(1 - 2) + (3 - 4) + (5 - 6) + ... + (147 - 148) + (149 - 150) + 151

Each pair within the parentheses equals -1, and there are 75 such pairs (since 150/2 = 75). So the sum of the paired terms is -75, and we still have the final +151.

∴ ⇒ (1 - 2) + (3 - 4) + ... + (149 - 150) + 151

   ⇒ -75 + 151

   ⇒ 76

The correct answer is option 4) 76.

20 cm

Concept use:

The Greatest Common Divisor (GCD), also known as the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) or Highest Common Factor (HCF), is the largest positive integer that divides each of the given numbers without leaving a remainder.

Explanation:

To find the greatest possible length of each piece into which the ropes can be cut equally,

we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the lengths of the ropes.

The lengths of the ropes are 240 cm, 320 cm, and 460 cm.

Now, let's find the GCD of these lengths:

GCD(240, 320, 460) = 20

Therefore, the greatest possible length of each piece is 20 cm.

So, the correct answer is 3) 20 cm

Statement (I) is false but Statement (II) is true.

The correct answer is Statement (I) is false but Statement (II) is true.

Key Points

Statement I: Natural fibres like cotton, wool, silk, nylon are obtained from plants or animals is false because,-

  • Natural fibres come from plants and animals, while nylon is a synthetic fibre.
  • Cotton and linen are examples of natural fibres obtained from plants.
  • Wool and silk are natural fibres derived from animals; wool comes from sheep, and silk comes from silkworms.
  • Nylon, however, is a synthetic fibre made through chemical processes by humans and not obtained from natural sources

Statement II: Synthetic fibres are made by human beings, that is why these are called synthetic or man-made fibres is true.

  • Synthetic fibres are artificially produced through chemical processes in laboratories and industries.
  • Some common examples of synthetic fibres include nylon, polyester, and acrylic.
  • These fibres are designed to mimic the properties of natural fibres but often come with enhanced durability and other specific characteristics.

Additional Information

  • Natural fibres:
  • Sources: Derived from plants (e.g., cotton) or animals (e.g., wool).
  • Properties: Biodegradable, eco-friendly, and often comfortable to wear.
  • Examples: Cotton, wool, silk, jute, and linen.
  • Synthetic fibres:
  • Sources: Man-made through chemical synthesis.

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

(A) and (R) both are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

Correct Answer: (A) and (R) both are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

Key Points

  • Assertion (A): Some micro-organisms cause diseases in human beings, plants and animals is true because:
  • Micro-organisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa, are known to cause various diseases in humans, such as the flu, tuberculosis, and malaria.
  • Plants are also susceptible to diseases caused by pathogens such as fungi (e.g., rusts, smuts, and molds), bacteria (e.g., bacterial wilt), and viruses (e.g., tobacco mosaic virus).
  • Animals can be affected by micro-organisms causing diseases like foot-and-mouth disease in cattle and avian influenza in birds.
  • Reason (R): Such disease causing micro-organisms are called pathogens is true because:
  • Pathogens are specifically defined as micro-organisms that can cause disease in their hosts, a category that includes bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.
  • The term 'pathogen' is universally used in the field of microbiology and medicine to describe any organism that can induce pathological conditions in humans, animals, or plants.

Additional Information

  • Micro-organisms can enter hosts through various routes such as inhalation, ingestion, or through wounds, leading to different types of infections and diseases.
  • Understanding the nature of pathogens and how they cause disease is crucial for developing treatments, vaccines, and preventive measures in both human and veterinary medicine, as well as in agriculture for protecting crops.

Given below are two statements, one labeled as Assertion (A) and the other labeled as Reason (R). Choose the correct answer with the help of codes given below :

Assertion (A): Animals including humans cannot make their own food.

Reason (R): Humans get their food from both plants as well as animals.

  1. ((a))

    (A) and (R) both are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)

  2. ((b))

    (A) and (R) both are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

  3. ((c))

    (A) is true but (R) is false

  4. ((d))

    (A) is false but (R) is true

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

(A) and (R) both are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

Correct Answer: (A) and (R) both are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

Key Points

  • Assertion (A): Animals including humans cannot make their own food is true because:
  • Animals, including humans, are heterotrophic, meaning they must consume organic matter to obtain their nutrients because they cannot synthesize their own food from inorganic substances like autotrophic organisms (e.g., plants).
  • Unlike plants and some bacteria that use photosynthesis or chemosynthesis to create their own food, animals rely on digesting food sourced from other organisms.
  • Reason (R): Humans get their food from both plants as well as animals is true because:
  • Humans are omnivores, meaning they consume a variety of foods derived from both plant and animal sources to meet their nutritional needs.
  • Plant-based foods include fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes, whereas animal-based foods include meat, dairy, and eggs.
  • The relationship:
  • While both statements are individually true, Reason (R) does not explain why Assertion (A) is true.
  • The inability of animals, including humans, to make their own food is due to a lack of photosynthetic parts and processes (like chlorophyll in plants), meaning they must rely on external food sources.
  • This is a biological limitation.
  • Reason (R) merely states that humans acquire their food from both plants and animals, which describes a dietary practice but does not explain the fundamental biological reason behind why they cannot synthesize food themselves.
  • Thus, the correct explanation would consider the biological limitations (such as the absence of photosynthesis). Since (R) does not address this biological reason and merely states where humans get their food from, it does not correctly explain (A).

Additional Information

  • Autotrophs, such as plants, produce their own food through processes like photosynthesis by converting sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose and oxygen.
  • Heterotrophs depend on organic compounds produced by other organisms for their energy and nutritional requirements.
  • Understanding these fundamental distinctions between autotrophic and heterotrophic organisms is essential in ecology to comprehend energy flow and nutrient cycles in ecosystems.
  • Human nutrition encompasses a wide range of food sources, balancing plant and animal products to obtain essential nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals necessary for healthy body functions.

Assertion (A) : Sandy soil is well aerated

Reason (R) : The sand particles of sandy soil are very small

  1. ((a))

    (A) and (R) both are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)

  2. ((b))

    (A) and (R) both are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

  3. ((c))

    (A) is true but (R) is false

  4. ((d))

    (A) is false but (R) is true

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

(A) is true but (R) is false

Correct Answer: (A) is true but (R) is false.

Key Points

  • Assertion (A): Sandy soil is well aerated is true because:
  • Sandy soil has large particles and large pore spaces, which allows for good air circulation and prevents water from clogging the soil.
  • This characteristic makes sandy soil well-draining and well aerated, which is beneficial for the roots of certain types of plants that need good air exchange in the soil.
  • Reason (R): The sand particles of sandy soil are very small is false because:
  • Sand particles are actually larger than those of silt or clay. The larger particle size results in larger spaces between particles, contributing to better aeration and drainage in sandy soil.
  • Small particles are characteristics of clay soil, not sandy soil. Clay soils have poor aeration due to the closely packed small particles.

Additional Information

  • Sandy soils are commonly found in deserts and near riverbanks and have a gritty texture.
  • These types of soils are often low in nutrients and do not hold water well, which can be a disadvantage for plant growth unless supplemented with organic material.
  • Soil structure is one of the key factors affecting water retention, aeration, and nutrient availability for plants, with sandy, loamy, and clay soils each having distinct properties and uses in agriculture and gardening.
  • In agricultural practices, the addition of organic matter can improve the water-holding capacity of sandy soils, making them more fertile and better suited for crop production.

  4. ((d))

    Only (B)

Show Answer
Answer: ((d))

Only (B)

The correct code is :Air expands on heating

Key Points

  • Moving wind is called air. This statement is incorrect.
  • Air is a mixture of gases that make up the Earth's atmosphere.
  • When air moves, it is specifically referred to as wind, not the generic term 'air'.
  • Air expands on heating. This statement is correct.
  • When air is heated, its molecules move faster and spread out, causing the air to expand.
  • This principle is used in hot air balloons, where heating air inside the balloon causes it to expand and become less dense than the cooler air outside, allowing it to rise.
  • Air moves from the region of low air pressure to high air pressure. This statement is incorrect.
  • Air typically moves from regions of high air pressure to low air pressure.
  • This movement is due to the pressure gradient force, which causes air to flow from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure in an attempt to equalize the pressure differences.
  • This phenomenon is responsible for wind and weather patterns on Earth.

Key Points 

Statement (I): Diarrhoea is not a fatal disease.

  • Diarrhoea is a condition that is characterized by the passage of loose or watery stools, often accompanied by abdominal cramps, bloating, and nausea.
  • While diarrhoea can be uncomfortable and disruptive, it is usually not a fatal disease, particularly in developed countries where access to medical care and clean water is readily available..

Statement (II): Diarrhoea leads to loss of water and salts from the body.

  • Diarrhoea is caused by various factors, including bacterial, viral, and parasitic infections, as well as food intolerances and other underlying medical conditions.
  • Regardless of the cause, diarrhoea can lead to the loss of water and salts from the body, which can result in dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.
  • During a diarrhoeal episode, water and electrolytes are lost through the stool, leading to a decrease in blood volume and blood pressure.
  • This can result in symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, and muscle cramps.

In summary, both statements (I) and (II) are true.

  3. ((c))

    They do not get nitrogen from the soil

  4. ((d))

    They do not get water from the soil

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

They do not get nitrogen from the soil

The correct answer is they do not get nitrogen from the soil.

Key Points

  • The pitcher plant performs photosynthesis which makes it an autotrophic plant but it has also a partial heterotrophic mode of nutrition because pitcher plant grows on nitrogen-deficient soil.
  • Carnivorous plants obtain the essential nutrients from the heterotrophs.

Additional Information 

  • The pitcher plant is an insectivorous plant
  • It has a Pitcher-like structure that is the modified part of the leaf.
  • The apex of the leaf forms a lid that can open and close the mouth of the pitcher.
  • Inside the pitcher, there are hairs that are directed downwards.
  • When an insect lands in the pitcher, the lid closes and the trapped insect gets entangled into the hair.
  • The insect is digested by the digestive juices secreted in the pitcher.
  • It can trap and eat frog, insects and even mice.
  • It is found in Australia, Indonesia and Meghalaya in India.
  • It has a pitcher-like shape and the mouth is covered by a leaf.
  • It has a special smell that attracts insects to it, which get trapped and can't get out.

Thus, the pitcher plant is an insectivorous plant.

(A) is true but (R) is false

The correct answer is (A) is true but (R) is false.

Key Points

  • Plants primarily absorb water through their root systems, which take up water from the soil. This process is essential for transporting nutrients and maintaining turgor pressure in plant cells.
  • Rainwater is often more beneficial for plants than tap water because it is free from chemicals such as chlorine and fluoride, which are often found in domestic water supplies.
  • During dry periods, irrigation systems or other water sources supplement natural rains to ensure that plants receive the water they need to survive and thrive.
  • The apparent fresh look of plants after rain may be due to the washing away of dust and the increase in humidity, which can temporarily enhance the turgidity and vibrancy of plant leaves.

The correct answer is (A) and (C) 

Key Points

  • Oceans are all interconnected. This statement is correct.
  • Oceans are interconnected through the world's oceanic system, forming a continuous body of water that covers about 71% of Earth's surface.
  • Ocean water remains active only during the new moon and full moon. This statement is incorrect.
  • Ocean water is continuously active due to various factors such as wind, gravitational forces of the moon and sun, and the Earth's rotation, not just during new moon and full moon phases.
  • The three chief movements of ocean water are the waves, the tides and the ocean currents. This statement is correct.
  • The primary movements of ocean water include waves (caused by wind), tides (caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun), and ocean currents (large-scale water movements driven by wind, water salinity, and temperature differences).
  • The Atlantic Ocean is the largest ocean in size. This statement is incorrect.
  • The Pacific Ocean is actually the largest ocean in size, covering more area than any other ocean on Earth.

Additional Information

  • Oceanic Interconnection
  • The world's oceans are interconnected and form a global oceanic circulatory system, known as the "global conveyor belt," which helps regulate climate and marine life distribution.

The correct answer is (C) and (D)

Key Points

  • The peninsula is a piece of land that is surrounded by water on four sides. This statement is incorrect.
  • A peninsula is a piece of land that is surrounded by water on three sides, not four.
  • Pakistan is separated from India by the Palk Strait. This statement is incorrect.
  • Pakistan is separated from India by the Radcliffe Line, not the Palk Strait. The Palk Strait actually separates India from Sri Lanka.
  • Local time changes by four minutes for every one degree of longitude. This statement is correct.
  • As the Earth rotates 360 degrees in 24 hours, it covers one degree of longitude every four minutes, thereby changing the local time accordingly.
  • Large countries which stretch extensively from North to the South do not have a single Standard Time for the whole country. This statement is correct.
  • Countries extending extensively from North to South, like Russia or the United States, often have multiple time zones due to their large geographical span.

Additional Information

  • Standard Time and Time Zones
  • Standard Time is the official time adopted across a country or region to regulate time differences. Large countries with significant longitudinal extent often adopt multiple time zones for accuracy and convenience.
  • Longitude and Local Time
  • Longitude plays a crucial role in determining local time. Each 15-degree change in longitude corresponds to a one-hour difference in local time.
