(d) The correct sequence is QSPR. The sentence S1 tells
us about a small glass tube. The next sentence should
be a description about the tube and hence Q. Now S
should come next because it gives the introduction of
the color change followed by Sentence P. Sentence S6
is in sync with Sentence R because they tell what will
happen if the line is crossed. Thus R should come
before S6.
(c) The correct sequence is RSQP. The sentence S1
describes how hope springs eternally in the heart of
man. The next sentence should be R because it
describes the elements of hope and how they are
nursed by nature. Thus the next sentence should be S
which describes the nature and ideal of hope. The
following sentence should be Q because it describes
love, friendship and youth perish and is in continuation
of S. The next sentence should be its continuity that all
these perish but hope remains and hence P. It is in
continuation of S6.
(b) The correct sequence is RPSQ. The sentence S1
describes that Mr. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson
are spending a weekend in University town. The next
sentence should be R because it is in continuation of
S1 and describes where they are staying. The next
sentence should be P because it describes the event
that they get visited by Mr. Soames. Next sentence
should be S because it describes Mr. Soames. The next
sentence should be Q because it describes his state of
mind and is in continuation of the S6 sentence.

because it describes that even while we are sleeping
our body moves when we breathe. Following this
sentence should be P which tells that fuel is needed for
all these activities. Sentence S and S6 are in sync and
continuation.
The correct sequence is RPQS. The sentence S1 talks
about the American idealism. The next sentence should
be a continuation of the same describing the American
idealism and hence R. The next sentence should be in
continuance and thus P because it describes the
idealism of American. The next sentence should be Q.

orographic lifting to the top of a mountain range. As
atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing

The Chandra Prabha Wildlife Sanctuary is situated in

In astronomy, axial tilt (also called obliquity) is the angle
between an object's rotational axis and the
perpendicular to its Orbital plane, both oriented by the
right hand rule. At an obliquity of 0, these lines point
in the same direction i.e. the rotational axis is
perpendicular to the orbital plane. Axial tilt differs from
inclination. Over the course of an orbit, the angle of
the axial tilt does not change, and the orientation of the
axis remains the same relative to the background stars.
This causes one pole to be directed toward the Sun on
one side of the orbit, and the other pole on the other
side, the cause of the seasons on the Earth.
The gametophyte is the multi-cellular structure (plant)
that is haploid, containing a single set of chromosomes
in each cell. The gametophyte produces male or female
gametes (or both) by a process of cell division called

Latent heat is the energy absorbed or released at
constant temperature per unit mass for change of state.
As you descend, water pressure increases, and the
volume of air in your body decreases. This can cause
problems such as sinus pain or a ruptured ear drum.
All materials are made up of negatively- and positivelycharged particles. These usually exist in equal amounts,
balancing each other out. But when two materials come
into contact, one may 'steal' negatively-charged
electrons from the other. One material ends up with
more negative charges than positive ones, meaning

that it becomes negatively-charged overall, whilst the

other becomes positively-charged. If the charges
cannot move away as they are produced, they
accumulate in the material as static charge, or electricity.
Once you have built up a big enough static charge, an
electric shock is almost inevitable. The moment you
touch a conducting material such as metal, the excess
electrons jump between your hand and the conductor,
giving you a shock.
(c) Mercury in a glass flask is a good example of the effects
of the ratio between cohesive and adhesive forces.
Because of its high cohesion and low adhesion to the
glass, mercury does not spread out to cover the top of
the flask, and if enough is placed in the flask to cover
the bottom, it exhibits a strongly convex meniscus,
whereas the meniscus of water is concave. Mercury
will not wet the glass, unlike water and many other
liquids, and if the glass is tipped, it will 'roll' around
inside.
(b) Permanent hardness of water is usually caused by the
presence of calcium sulfate and/or magnesium sulfates
in the water.
(d) 'C' acts as a reducing agent in this reaction. A reducing
agent is a substance that loses electrons, making it

106. (b) A greenhouse gas (sometimes abbreviated GHG) is a

are water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous
oxide, and ozone.

113. (c) Cirrus is a genus of atmospheric cloud generally
characterized by thin, wispy strands. Stratus clouds
are a genus of low-level cloud characterized by
horizontal layering with a uniform base, as opposed to
convective or cumuliform clouds that are formed by
rising thermals. nimbus indicates a precipitating cloud.
Cumulus clouds, being low-stage clouds, are generally
less than 1,000 m (3,300 ft) in altitude unless they are
the more vertical cumulus congestus form. Cumulus
clouds may appear by themselves, in lines, or in clusters.
114. (c) Demographic transition (DT) refers to the transition

in sequence with each heartbeat. These are the first
heart sound (S1) and second heart sound (S2) produced

117. (a) Tiny molecules in our atmosphere cause light to scatter.
That's why our sky looks blue: it's because the

when the sun is low in the sky than when the sun is
overhead. Even more blue light is scattered away,

Among the three aluminium, copper and stainless steel
copper is the best conduction of heat. Thermal
conductivity (in W/m K) for copper, aluminium and
stainless steel is 385, 205 and 50.2 respectively.
This is because when we sweat, the liquid (sweat)
present on our body takes the heat equivalent to the
latent heat of vaporisation from our body and therefore
we feel cool.
Rm = Re /4 ; gm = ge /6
g = GM/R2
ge / gm = (Me/ Re2) / (Mm / Rm2)
ge / gm = (Me/ Mm) / (Rm/ Re)2
(Me/ Mm) = (ge / gm ) X (Re / Rm)2
= (6 gm/ gm) X (4 Rm / Rm)2
= 6 X 4 X 4 = 96 100
