Answer : 1. "25 sq.cm"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 25 sq.cm Explanation: Given length of the rectangle = 3 cm Breadth of the rectangle = 4 cm Then, the diagonal of the rectangle D = 32 + 42 = 25 = 5 Then, it implies side of square = 5 cm We know that Area of square = S x S = 5 x 5 = 25 sq.cm.

Answer : 1. "TRUE"
Explanation :

Answer: A) TRUE Explanation: True, Water is a Pure substance and not a mixture.   We know that, A mixture is when two or more substances combine physically together. You can find that the mixture retains the properties of the original components. In water, two hydrogen atoms combine with one oxygen atom chemically, forming a new substance that has properties different from hydrogen alone or oxygen alone.   Therefore, water is not a mixture; it is a compound and it is pure.

Answer : 2. "Helium"
Explanation :

Answer: B) Helium Explanation: Helium has the highest First Ionization Energy in the Noble Gases group. Ionization Energy :: Ionisation energy is the energy required to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of gaseous atoms. Atoms are more stable when they have full valence shells. Noble Gases have a very stable electron configuration, therefore, they have the highest amount of ionization energy within their periods. It decreases down a family because electrons farther from the nucleus are easier to remove. Ionization Energy levels of Noble Gases group in Descending Order :: He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn
