Answer : 2. "Uranium"
Explanation :
Answer: B) Uranium Explanation: Uranium is not a fossil fuel whereas coal, petroleum and natural gas are all natural resources. Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons, primarily coal, fuel oil or natural gas, formed from the remains of dead plants and animals. In common dialogue, the term fossil fuel also includes hydrocarbon-containing natural resources that are not derived from animal or plant sources

Answer : 3. "intensity of illumination"
Explanation :
Answer: C) intensity of illumination Explanation: The lux (lx) is the SI derived unit of illuminance and luminous emittance, measuring luminous flux per unit area. It is equal to one lumen per square meter.
Q: A boat takes 2 hours to travel from point A to B in still water. To find out its speed upstream, which of the following information is/are required? A. Distance between point A and B. B. Time taken to travel downstream from B to A. C. Speed of the stream of water. 2302 05b5cc69fe4d2b4197774c9f1

Answer : 4. "Any one pair of A and B, B and C or C and A is sufficient"
Explanation :
Answer: D) Any one pair of A and B, B and C or C and A is sufficient Explanation: Let distance between A & B = d kmLet speed in still water = x kmphLet speed of current = y kmph from the given data,d/x = 2 From A) we get dFrom B) we get d/x+yFrom C) we get y So, Any one pair of A and B, B and C or C and A is sufficient to give the answer i.e, the speed of upstream.
Q: P, Q and R secured 45%, 50% and 60% marks respectively in Biology. M’s marks in Biology is 12.5 more than P’s marks and 4 less than R’s marks. Find out the individual marks of four students. A. For the students, total marks obtained for Biology is 311.5.B. Total of M’s and P’s marks in Biology is 147.5.C. R has obtained 84 marks. 2135 05b5cc69fe4d2b4197774c9ec

Answer : 4. "None of the statements is required"
Explanation :
Answer: D) None of the statements is required Explanation: From the given data, (60 - 45)% = 12.5 + 415% = 16.5=> 100% = ?100% = 16.5 x 100/15 = 110 Hence, P = 45% of 110 = 45x110/100 = 49.5 Q = 50% of 110 = 55R = 60% of 110 = 60 x 110/100 = 66M = 12.5 + 49.5 = 62 or 66 - 4 = 62 Hence, no statement is required to answer.

Answer : 1. "Lime"
Explanation :
Answer: A) Lime Explanation: Yellow and green color mix make a Lime color. The three primary colors in additive mixing are red, green, and blue. In the absence of color or, when no colors are showing, the result is black. If all three primary colors are showing, the result is white. When red and green combine, the result is yellow. When red and blue combine, the result is magenta. When blue and green combine, the result is cyan.

Answer : 1. "LiCH3"
Explanation :
Answer: A) LiCH3 Explanation: The stability of the ions is determined by the energy of the lone pairs. Carbon has the least effective nuclear charge (Zeff) and so the lone pair on the CH3− ion has the highest energy, making it the least stable ion and so the strongest base. The Zeff increases as we move across the period until we get to fluorine which has the greatest Zeff and so its lone pairs have the lowest energy, making F− the least basic ion. In order of decreasing basicity they are ranked LiCH3 > LiNH2 > LiOH > LiF. We are dealing with the ions F−, OH−, NH2− and CH3− and so the factor which influences their basicity is the stability of the ion compared to its conjugate acid.
