Answer: A) 35/36 Explanation: When two dice are thrown simultaneously, the probability is n(S) = 6x6 = 36 Required, the sum of the two numbers that turn up is less than 12 That can be done as n(E) = { (1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (1,5), (1,6)(2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (2,4), (2,5), (2,6)(3,1), (3,2), (3,3), (3,4), (3,5), (3,6)(4,1), (4,2), (4,3), (4,4), (4,5), (4,6)(5,1), (5,2), (5,3), (5,4), (5,5), (5,6)(6,1), (6,2), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5) } = 35 Hence, required probability = n(E)/n(S) = 35/36.

Answer: C) Soda Explanation: Here Soda is a Heterogenous Mixture.   A Heterogeneous Mixture is a mixture having a non-uniform composition i.e, the mixture contains components in different phases. Using various means, the parts in the mixture can be separated from one another.

Soil erosion which is also called the 'creeping death of the soil' is a global problem (Tripathi and Singh, 1993). India is facing soil erosion problems in sectors such as reservoir siltation, soil-degradation and in agricultural sectors mainly.
