    • Ingestion, digestion, absorption, elimination

    • Digestion, ingestion, absorption, elimination

    • Ingestion, absorption, elimination, digestion

    • Absorption, digestion, ingestion, elimination

    Correct Answer
    A. Ingestion, digestion, absorption, elimination
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Ingestion, digestion, absorption, elimination". This order accurately represents the four stages of food processing. Ingestion refers to the intake of food into the body, followed by digestion, which involves the breakdown of food into smaller molecules. Absorption occurs next, where the digested nutrients are taken up by the body's cells. Finally, elimination involves the removal of undigested waste materials from the body.

    Cancer can be treated by:

    • Antibiotics and vaccines

    • Radiotherapy and antibodies

    • Chemotherapy and radiotherapy

    • Antibodies and chemotherapy

    Correct Answer
    A. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy
    Explanation
    Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are effective treatments for cancer. Chemotherapy involves the use of drugs to kill cancer cells throughout the body, while radiotherapy uses high-energy radiation to target and destroy cancer cells in a specific area. These treatments are often used together or in combination with other therapies to maximize their effectiveness. Antibiotics and vaccines are not typically used to treat cancer, and antibodies alone are not sufficient for treating the disease. Therefore, the correct answer is chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

    There are __________ parts of small intestine

    • 2

    • 3

    • 4

    • 5

    Correct Answer
    A. 3
    Explanation
    The small intestine is divided into three parts: the duodenum, the jejunum, and the ileum. Each of these parts has a specific role in the digestion and absorption of nutrients. The duodenum receives partially digested food from the stomach and further breaks it down with the help of digestive enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the liver. The jejunum is responsible for the majority of nutrient absorption, while the ileum absorbs remaining nutrients and plays a role in the reabsorption of bile salts. Therefore, the correct answer is 3.

    Specific gravity of milk is measured by an instrument known as:

    • Lactometer

    • Barometer

    • Hydrometer

    • Pedometer

    Correct Answer
    A. Lactometer
    Explanation
    A lactometer is the instrument used to measure the specific gravity of milk. This device helps determine the purity and quality of milk by measuring its density compared to water. The lactometer works on the principle that denser substances will sink deeper into a liquid, while less dense substances will float higher. By measuring the level at which the lactometer floats in milk, the specific gravity can be determined, which is an important indicator of milk composition and potential adulteration.

    A time can come when we will be able to design a machine which can go on working for ever without the expenditure of energy. Is it possible?

    • No

    • Yes

    • In due course of time

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    It is not possible to design a machine that can go on working forever without the expenditure of energy. This goes against the fundamental laws of thermodynamics, specifically the principle of energy conservation. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another. Therefore, any machine that operates indefinitely would require a constant input of energy, either from an external source or from some internal energy conversion process.

    Water is heated in a kettle. The inside water is heated by convection. A person sitting near the fire receives heat by.

    • Conduction

    • Convection

    • Radiation

    • Reflection

    Correct Answer
    A. Radiation
    Explanation
    When water is heated in a kettle, the inside water is heated by convection, which is the transfer of heat through the movement of particles. However, the person sitting near the fire receives heat by radiation. Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, such as infrared radiation, which can travel through empty space and transfer heat to objects without direct contact. In this case, the person is receiving heat from the fire through the emission of infrared radiation.

    The echo (reflected sound) will be distinctly heard only at ordinary temperatures if the distance of the reflecting surfaces from the source of sound is at least:

    • 13 m

    • 17 m

    • 19 m

    • 23 m

    Correct Answer
    A. 17 m
    Explanation
    When sound waves encounter a reflecting surface, they bounce back and create an echo. However, for the echo to be distinctly heard, there needs to be a sufficient time gap between the original sound and the echo. This time gap is determined by the distance between the reflecting surface and the source of sound. The speed of sound is approximately 343 meters per second, so if the distance is too short, the time gap will be too small for the echo to be distinguishable. Therefore, the minimum distance required for the echo to be distinctly heard at ordinary temperatures is 17 meters.

    The temperature of the dead body is:

    • Temperature of the place where it is kept

    • 37

    • Room temperature

    • 0

    Correct Answer
    A. Temperature of the place where it is kept
    Explanation
    The temperature of a dead body is determined by the temperature of the place where it is kept. When a body is no longer alive, it no longer generates heat through metabolic processes. Therefore, the body will eventually reach the same temperature as its surroundings. This means that if the body is kept in a cold environment, it will become cold, and if it is kept in a warm environment, it will become warm.

    Copper can be converted into gold by:

    • Heating

    • Artificial Radioactivity

    • Electroplating

    • Chemical Reaction

    Correct Answer
    A. Electroplating
    Explanation
    Electroplating is the process of depositing a layer of metal onto a surface using an electric current. In the case of copper being converted into gold, electroplating can be used by immersing the copper object in a solution containing gold ions and using electricity to transfer the gold ions onto the copper surface. This results in a thin layer of gold being deposited onto the copper, giving it the appearance of gold. However, it is important to note that this process does not actually convert copper into gold chemically, but rather provides a gold-like appearance.

    • Visible

    • Transparent

    • Invisible

    • Opaque

    Correct Answer
    A. Transparent
    Explanation
    When a ray of sunlight enters a dark room, its straight path becomes visible because of dust particles hanging in the air. This indicates that light is transparent, as it is able to pass through the air and illuminate the dust particles, making them visible to the human eye.

    Cobalt is a material which is

    • Strongly attracted by a magnet

    • Not attracted by a magnet

    • Not a magnet

    • Weakly attracted by a magnet

    Correct Answer
    A. Weakly attracted by a magnet
    Explanation
    Cobalt is a material that exhibits weak attraction to a magnet. This means that when a magnet is brought close to cobalt, it will experience a slight pull towards the magnet, but not a strong or significant one. This characteristic of cobalt can be attributed to its magnetic properties, as it is a ferromagnetic material. However, compared to other ferromagnetic materials like iron or nickel, cobalt has a weaker magnetic attraction.
