Question Discussion & Solution

Length is measured in Meter.

Similarly,

Power is measured in Watt.

The correct answer is Electric Heater.

Key Points

• Electric Heater is a device that can convert Electric energy into heat energy.
• In an electron tube, an electric heating element shaped in the form of a wire or ribbon is used to supply heat to a cathode; the element provides heat when a current is passed through it.
• Electric heaters also are used for domestic central heating and for materials processing in the industry for example heat pumps; electric furnace.

Additional Information

• Energy is the ability to do work.
• The  Law of conservation of energy:
  • Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed, only Energy can be converted from one form to another.
• These are some parts of the energy that convert one form to another:
  • Heat
  • Light
  • Motion
  • Electrical
  • Chemical
  • Gravitational

Important Points

Water Pollution:

• Water pollution occurs when harmful substances often chemicals or microorganisms contaminate a stream, river, lake, ocean, aquifer, or other body of water, degrading water quality and rendering it toxic to humans or the environment.
• Water pollution is a major environmental issue in India.
• The largest source of water pollution in India is untreated sewage.
• Other sources of pollution include agricultural runoff and unregulated small-scale industry.
• Most rivers, lakes, and surface water in India are polluted due to industries, untreated sewage, and solid wastes.

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer. 

​

​Untreated Sewage

• A 2007 study found that the discharge of untreated sewage is the single most important source of pollution of surface and groundwater in India.
• There is a large gap between the generation and treatment of domestic wastewater in India.
• The problem is not only that India lacks sufficient treatment capacity but also that the sewage treatment plants that exist do not operate and are not maintained.

1. Agriculture run-off: Farms discharge large quantities of agrochemicals, organic matter, drug residues, sediments, and saline drainage into water bodies. Nevertheless, agricultural pollution, aggravated by increased sediment runoff and groundwater salinization, is also becoming an issue.
2. Unregulated small-scale industries and religious practices comparatively have less contribution to water pollution in major rivers of India.

An animal walked 29 m south.

From here it turned right and walked 14 m.

Now it again turned right and walked 18 m.

Now it turned left and walked 27 m.

Animal facing West now.

Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.

The correct answer is Tartaric acid.

• Tartaric acid is an organic acid that is white and crystalline.

Key Points

• It is found naturally in many fruits like grapes, bananas, tamarind, etc.
• This acid is added to foods as an antioxidant and to give its distinctive sour taste.
• Crystals and powders are prepared by a chemical process.
• It is also added to food for preservation.
• It is also a good antioxidant and is beneficial for kidneys.
• It helps to absorb minerals in the body.
• It is also helpful in controlling problems related to gases in the body.
