191. The side view mirrors of vehicles are of which type of mirrors?
- A. Convex
- B. Concave
- C. Plane
- D. Inverted
Explanation: Convex mirrors provide a wide field of view and form upright, diminished images, allowing drivers to see more traffic behind them. Concave mirrors have a narrower field and can magnify nearby objects.
Correct answer: Convex192. Farad is the unit of___________?
- A. inductance
- B. voltage
- C. capacitance
- D. None of these
Explanation: The farad measures capacitance, which is the ability of a component to store electric charge. Inductance is measured in henries, while voltage is measured in volts.
Correct answer: capacitance193. One Gross is equal to___________?
- A. 5 Dozen
- B. 10 Dozen
- C. 12 Dozen
- D. None of them
Explanation: A gross contains 144 items, and a dozen contains 12, so one gross equals 12 dozen. This is a counting unit rather than a measure of physical quantity such as mass or length.
Correct answer: 12 Dozen194. Balloons are filled with _________ ?
- A. Nitrogen
- B. Helium
- C. Oxygen
- D. Argon
Explanation: Helium is used in balloons because it is less dense than air and is non-flammable. Hydrogen also provides lift, but its high flammability makes it unsafe for ordinary balloons.
Correct answer: Helium195. In radiation, which of the following has strong photons?
- A. X-Rays
- B. Gamma
- C. Microwave
- D. Electromagnetic
Explanation: Gamma rays have the highest frequency and photon energy among the listed radiation types, so they are more penetrating than X-rays, microwaves and visible electromagnetic radiation. Photon energy increases with frequency.
Correct answer: Gamma196. Speed of sound in air is _______km/h?
- A. 1347
- B. 243
- C. 1235
- D. 1495
Explanation: Sound travels through air at about 343 metres per second at room temperature. Multiplying by 3.6 converts this to approximately 1,235 kilometres per hour.
Correct answer: 1235197. A force applied on a body through the string is called_________?
- A. Weight
- B. Momentum
- C. Tension
- D. Torque
Explanation: The pulling force transmitted through a string, rope, or cable is called tension. Weight is gravitational force, while momentum describes motion and torque describes a turning effect.
Correct answer: Tension198. Which of the following is solid?
- A. Water
- B. Stone
- C. Both
- D. None
Explanation: In the ordinary meaning used here, water is a liquid, whereas stone retains a definite shape and volume and is a solid. Water can become solid as ice, but that is not what the option normally denotes.
Correct answer: Stone199. Gravitation force of earth is___________?
- A. 9.80 m/s²
- B. 7.21 m/s²
- C. 1.62 m/s²
- D. None of these
Explanation: The acceleration produced by Earth's gravity near its surface is about 9.8 m/s². Strictly speaking, this value is gravitational acceleration rather than a force, so the question uses “force” imprecisely.
Correct answer: 9.80 m/s²200. The best conductor of heat among liquid is___________?
- A. Water
- B. Mercury
- C. Ether
- D. Alcohol
Explanation: Mercury conducts heat better than the other listed liquids and is also useful in thermometers because it expands predictably with temperature. Water, ether, and alcohol are poorer thermal conductors.
Correct answer: Mercury
