The gas burns with an explosion when a burning splinter is brought near it. IV. The gas extinguishes the burning splinter that is brought near it. The correct observations are (A) I, II and III Page 4 of 7 1 26 27 28 29 30 (B) II, III and IV (C) III, IV and I (D) I, II and IV A child observed a permanent slide fixed under a microscope. He concluded that the slide shows binary fission in amoeba. Write any two observations he must have made to arrive at this conclusion. Three students measured the focal length of a convex lens using parallel rays from a distant object. All of them measured the distance between the lens and the inverted image on the screen. Student A saw a sharp image on the screen and labelled the distance as f1. Student B saw a slightly larger blurred image on the screen and labelled the distance as f2. Student C saw a slightly smaller blurred image on the screen and labelled the distance as f3. The relation between the three measurements would most likely be (a) f1 = f2 = f3. (b) f1 < f2 and f3. (c) f3 < f1 < f2. (d) f1 < f2 and f1= f3. Give reason to support your answer. A student took four identical test tubes P, Q, R and S and filled 10 mL of distilled water in each. He dissolved equal amount of four salts namely NaCl in P, MgCl2 in Q, CaCl2 in R and Na2SO4 in S. He then added an equal amount of a sample of concentrated soap solution in each test tube. On shaking each test tube ten times by placing thumb on its mouth, he observed that a good amount of foam (lather) is formed only in two testtubes. These two test tubes must be (A) P and Q (B) Q and R (C) R and S (D) P and S (a)While preparing soap we generally add a small amount of common salt to the reaction mixture of vegetable oil and sodium hydroxide. The purpose of adding common salt is to (select the right option) (A) make the soap neutral (B) reduce the basic nature of the soap (C) enhance the cleansing power of the soap (D) favour the precipitation of soap (b) Draw the diagram of a micelle formation when soap is dissolved in water containing oily dirt.

Peeled off the seed coat carefully. What is the correct order of the steps? a) II, I, IV, III b) II, IV, I, III c) I, II, IV, III d) I, III, II, IV The process represented in the diagram below is the a) Formation of spores in Amoeba b) Formation of bud taking place in Amoeba c) Identical gametes being formed in Amoeba d) Formation of daughter cells in Amoeba A common feature of reproduction in Amoeba, spirogyra and yeast is that a) They reproduce only sexually b) They are all unicellular c) they reproduce asexually d) They are all multicellular After performing the experiment of tracing path of a ray of light through a glass slab, four students A,B,C, D measured angle of incidence and angle of emergence and worked out the relationship between the two as Student A: angle i = angle e Student B: angle i > angle e Student C: angle i is not equal to angle e Student D: angle i = 1/angle e a)A b)B c)C d)D Four students A, B, C, D traced the path of a ray of light through a glass slab. The position of the pins used to describe incident ray is shown on paper by four of them, respectively as Page 6 of 7 1 1 1 1 1 The correct result will be obtained by a)A&D both c)C only b)B& D both d) B&C 36 1 Page 7 of 7
