31. HIV/AIDS can be contracted through
-
{a} unprotected sexual intercourse
-
{b}hand shake
-
[c]smoking
-
{d]sharing utensils
Correct Answer
A. {a} unprotected sexual intercourseExplanation
HIV/AIDS can be contracted through unprotected sexual intercourse because the virus is present in the bodily fluids of an infected person, including blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk. During sexual intercourse, these fluids can be exchanged between partners, allowing the virus to enter the body of an uninfected individual. Other modes of transmission, such as handshakes, smoking, or sharing utensils, do not involve direct contact with infected bodily fluids and therefore do not pose a risk of contracting HIV/AIDS.Rate this question:

38.Animal dung and poultry droppings are used in making…………
-
(a)wood
-
(b)paper
-
(c)fertilizer to improve soil fertility
-
(d) ropes.
Correct Answer
A. (c)fertilizer to improve soil fertilityExplanation
Animal dung and poultry droppings are commonly used as organic fertilizers in agriculture. They are rich in nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which are essential for plant growth. When these organic materials are added to the soil, they break down and release these nutrients gradually, providing a steady supply of nourishment to plants. This helps to improve soil fertility, enhance crop yield, and promote healthy plant growth. Therefore, animal dung and poultry droppings are commonly used in making fertilizer to improve soil fertility.Rate this question:

20.Sound travels fastest in …………
-
{a}air
-
{b} water
-
{c} kerosene
-
{d}petrol.
Correct Answer
A. {a}airExplanation
Sound travels fastest in air because air is less dense compared to other mediums like water, kerosene, and petrol. Sound waves travel through the vibration of particles in a medium, and the speed of sound depends on the density and elasticity of the medium. Since air has lower density and higher elasticity compared to water, kerosene, and petrol, sound waves can travel faster in air.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. {c} X rayExplanation
X-rays are used to take photographs of the human body. X-ray imaging is a common diagnostic tool in medicine, allowing doctors to see the internal structures of the body. X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation that can penetrate the body and create images of bones, organs, and other tissues. They are commonly used to diagnose fractures, infections, tumors, and other medical conditions. X-ray machines emit a controlled amount of radiation, which is absorbed differently by different tissues in the body, creating contrast in the resulting image.Rate this question:

-
(a)dressing code
-
(b)smoking
-
(c)developed muscles
-
(d)skin colour
Correct Answer
A. (d)skin colourExplanation
Skin color can be transferred genetically from parents to offspring. This is because skin color is determined by the presence of certain genes that are inherited from parents. These genes control the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. Different combinations of these genes result in different skin colors, and these combinations can be passed down from parents to their children. Therefore, offspring can inherit their skin color from their parents.Rate this question:

46. Dumping of refuse can cause
-
(a)flooding
-
(b)erosion
-
(c)soil fertility
-
(d)decomposition
Correct Answer
A. (a)floodingExplanation
Dumping of refuse can cause flooding because when refuse is dumped in rivers, canals, or other water bodies, it can block the natural flow of water. This obstruction can lead to the accumulation of water, which can result in flooding during heavy rainfall or storms. Additionally, the dumped refuse can also clog drainage systems, further exacerbating the risk of flooding. Therefore, the dumping of refuse can have detrimental effects on the natural drainage system, leading to an increased likelihood of flooding in the surrounding areas.Rate this question:

6. When you intentionally abort a pregnancy it is called ---------------- abortion.
-
{a} removed
-
{b} spontaneous
-
{c}miscarriage
-
{d}induced
Correct Answer
A. {d}inducedExplanation
When a pregnancy is intentionally terminated or ended by medical or surgical means, it is referred to as induced abortion. This is different from a spontaneous abortion (miscarriage), which occurs naturally without any intentional intervention. The term "removed" does not accurately describe the intentional termination of a pregnancy, and "spontaneous" and "miscarriage" refer to natural, involuntary pregnancy loss. Therefore, the correct answer is "induced."Rate this question:

28. The following are useful application of friction EXCEPT
-
{a}brakes
-
{b}clutches
-
{c} pulleys
-
{d} slides
Correct Answer
A. {d} slidesExplanation
Friction is a force that opposes motion and it is useful in various applications. Brakes utilize friction to slow down or stop the motion of vehicles or machines. Clutches use friction to engage or disengage the transmission of power between two rotating shafts. Pulleys rely on friction to transmit force and change the direction of motion. However, slides do not require friction as they are designed to allow smooth and easy movement without any resistance. Therefore, slides are not considered a useful application of friction.Rate this question:

22. which of the three rays of radioactive elements can be stopped by paper?
-
{a} Beta
-
{b}Alpha
-
{c} Gamma
-
{d} None of the above
Correct Answer
A. {b}AlphaExplanation
Alpha rays can be stopped by paper because they consist of large, heavy particles (helium nuclei) that have a positive charge. When these particles collide with the atoms in a piece of paper, they lose energy and are easily absorbed, preventing them from penetrating further. Beta rays, on the other hand, consist of fast-moving electrons or positrons and can penetrate paper. Gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic waves that can also penetrate paper. Therefore, the correct answer is Alpha.Rate this question:

-
{a} screw
-
{b} hammer
-
{c}Plier
-
{d}pulley
Correct Answer
A. {d}pulleyExplanation
A pulley is not a lever because it does not have a rigid bar or beam that pivots on a fulcrum. A lever is a simple machine that consists of a rigid object, such as a beam or a bar, that is free to rotate around a fixed point called a fulcrum. In contrast, a pulley is a wheel with a groove that a rope or belt can run along, and it is used to change the direction or magnitude of a force. Therefore, a pulley does not fit the definition of a lever.Rate this question:

(a) like poles attract
-
(b)unlike poles repel
-
(c) suspended magnet sets along N-S axis
-
(d)magnets have only one pole.
Correct Answer
A. (a) like poles attractExplanation
Like poles of magnets attract each other due to the alignment of the magnetic field lines. When two magnets with like poles are brought close to each other, the magnetic field lines from both magnets repel each other, causing the magnets to be attracted to each other. This is a fundamental property of magnets and is observed in everyday life, such as when two bar magnets are brought close to each other and stick together.Rate this question:

-
{a} reflection
-
{b}refraction
-
{c}absorption
-
{d}diffraction
Correct Answer
A. {b}refractionExplanation
When light passes from air to glass, refraction takes place. Refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another with a different refractive index, such as from air to glass. This bending occurs because the speed of light changes when it enters a different medium, causing the light rays to change direction.Rate this question:
