Correct answer is Adjective.

This sentence was said by Reshma’s mother to Reshma.

Reshma was sitting in the balcony and watching the children playing in the park.

A spastic is a person who has no control over his / her hands and legs from birth.

A shelter duck landed in Reshma’s lap.

It was not Margie’s fault that she s was doing badly in geography. Actually, the mechanical teacher was geared a little too quick for her. The County Inspector slowed it up to an average ten-year level for Margie.

1. B. The geography sector was geared a little too quick.

2. A. slowing it up to an average ten-year level.

3. B. satisfactory.

4. C. the mechanical teacher was not taken away for repairing.

Margie is a little girl of 11 years, is living in 22nd century and has a habit of writing diary entry. She has a friend named Tommy who brings a book which is very old. She is taught by a mechanical teacher at her home. She hates school and her mechanical teacher. She is willing to know about old day’s schools and their teachers from Tommy.

There was a fault in the geography sector of the mechanical teacher. It was geared a little too quick. The County Inspector repaired it and slowed it up to an average ten-year level.

Reshma’s favourite pastime was to watch the children playing in the street or the park.

The County Inspector was a round little man with a red face and a whole box of tools with dials and wires. He is very compassionate and loving. He gives apple to Margie and talks with her very nicely. The geography sector of Margie’s mechanical teacher is geared a little too quickly for Margie to cope up with it, so the County Inspector slows it down to Margie’s learning level.

Margie’s mechanical teacher is a robot set in a room beside her bedroom. It starts at the exact time. He has black and ugly look. All the lessons are shown and the questions are asked on its big screen. It has a slot in which Margie has to put her homework and test papers in a punching code. The mechanical teacher calculates the marks in no time.

The police captured the thief who was trying to break the shop.

Reshma felt lonely because she had no friends. All the neighbourhood children were busy with their school and games. Her favourite pastime was to watch the children playing in the street or the park.

They will take a piece of white cloth to show their presence on the island to ships, helicopters, planes, etc. They will take mobile phones for contact, food packs, a water bottle, a matchbox and a stick for protection.

Let us hope that the people on our ship find us missing and return back to this island or some other ship, helicopter or a plane notices our movements and save us from this horrible situation that would be our only ray of hope.

1. Reshma’s mother was worried  because it was cool and windy and she might catch a cold.

2. Reshma loved to watch children shouting in excitement.

1.Reshma and her mother put breadcrumbs, nuts, fruits and grains before the bird to feed it.

2. When Reshma’s mother tried to pick up the bird, it bit her hand.

1. “What a horrifying experience!” 

2. “Look, oh God! Our ship has left the shore without us on this desolate island!” 

3. “What shall we do now?” 

4. “How can we escape from this dangerous situation!”

5. “Nothing on earth would save us !”

1. When Reshma’s mother came to take her, she saw some movement in Reshma’s lap and heard faint creaks.

2. Reshma was puzzled and frightened.

This sentence was said by Anju to her \ friends.

1. The shoveller migrates from the cold regions of Russia.

2. The bird must have lost its way due to the strong wind, got exhausted and fell in the park.

1. The books written by Salim Ali is ‘Indian Birds’.

2. It was a shelter duck.

3. The bird had a broad beak and bright, blue, white and brown feathers.

Coulomb’s law states that ‘the electrical force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of their strengths and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them’. 

If ‘F’ represents the electrical force between two point charges q₁ and q₂ separated by a distance ‘r’ apart, then according to this law F= k [(q₁.q₂)/r²] ; k = (1/4πε₀) is a constant when the two charges are in vacuum. 

Force will decrease.

Reason: Force between two charges each ‘q’ in vacuum is F₀ = \(\cfrac1{4\pi\varepsilon_0}.\cfrac{q^2}{r^2}\)

On inserting a plastic sheet (a dielectric K > 1)

Then   F₀ = \(\cfrac1{4\pi\varepsilon_0}.\cfrac{q^2}{r^2}\) i.e, Force F = \(\cfrac{F_0}K\)

Electrons revolve around the nucleus in paths called orbits.

The orbital designation 'g' corresponds to l = 4. Therefore, the lowest value of 'n' that allows 'g' orbitals is 5.

Data : M = 4.00151 u, = 1.00728 u, 

m_n = 1.00866 u, 1 u = 931.5 MeV/c² 

The binding energy of an alpha particle

(Zm_p + N_n - M)c² 

=(2m_p + 2m_n - M)c² 

= [(2)(1.00728u) + 2(1.00866 u) – 4.00151 u]c²

= (2.01456 + 2.01732 – 4.00151)(931.5) MeV 

= 28.289655 MeV 

= 28.289655 × 10⁶ eV × 1.602 × 10^-19 J 

= 4.532002731 × 10^-12 J

Correct option is d. 1 : 16

i – c, 

ii – d, 

iii – a, 

iv – b

1. Electron gain enthalpy values decrease in a group as we go down and increase from left to right along a period.

2. But the size of Fluorine is small compared chlorine. 

3. So it is difficult to add electron to fluorine. 

4. So fluorine has less electron gain enthalpy.

D) all of these
