Question : The SI unit of electric charge is a ______.
Option 1: Coulomb
Option 2: watt
Option 3: newton
Option 4: joule
Correct Answer: Coulomb
Solution : The correct option is Coulomb.
One coulomb is defined as the amount of electric charge transported by a constant current of one ampere in one second. In other words, 1 C = 1 A·s (ampere-second).
C= Coloumb
A= Ampere has a fixed numerical value.

Question : Which organ has finger-like outgrowths which are called Villi (Singular Villus)?
Option 1: Large Intestine
Option 2: Bladder
Option 3: Small Intestine
Option 4: Stomach
Correct Answer: Small Intestine
Solution : The correct option is the Small intestine.
Villi are tiny, finger-like extensions that line the small intestine's walls. They are composed of specialised cells and are surrounded by even smaller projections known as microvilli. The surface area of the intestinal lining is considerably
Question : If $\theta$ is positive acute angle and $7\cos^{2}\theta+3\sin^{2}\theta =4$, then the value of $\theta$ is:
Option 1: $60^{\circ}$
Option 2: $30^{\circ}$
Option 3: $45^{\circ}$
Option 4: $90^{\circ}$
Correct Answer: $60^{\circ}$
Solution : $7\cos^{2}\theta +3\sin^{2}\theta = 4$ $⇒7\cos^{2}\theta +3(1-\cos^{2}\theta) = 4$ ........[we know that $\sin^{2}\theta + \cos^{2}\theta=1$] $⇒4\cos^{2}\theta +3 = 4$ $⇒\cos^{2}\theta = \frac{1}{4}$ $⇒\cos^{2}\theta - \frac{1}{4}$ = 0 $⇒(\cos\theta + \frac{1}{2})(\cos\theta - \frac{1}{2})$ = 0 $⇒\cos\theta =\frac{1}{2}\ \text{or,} -\frac{1}{2}$ $⇒\cos\theta =\cos 60^{\circ}\ \text{or,}\cos 120^{\circ}$ Since $\theta$ is
Question : Directions: In the following question, a sentence is given with a blank that is to be filled in with an appropriate word. Four alternatives are suggested; choose the correct alternative out of them as your answer.
Many important projects have reached the final stage of _________.
Option 1: Accomplishment
Option 2: Initiation
Option 3: Resolution
Option 4: Implementation
Correct Answer: Implementation
Solution : To complete the sentence correctly, we need a word that conveys that these projects have reached the final stage where conclusions or solutions are being determined. The word "resolution" fits here. In the context of projects, it refers to reaching a final decision or finding
Question : If two concentric circles have radii of 5 cm and 3 cm, then the length of the chord of the larger circle that touches the smaller circle is:
Option 1: 6 cm
Option 2: 7 cm
Option 3: 10 cm
Option 4: 8 cm
Correct Answer: 8 cm
Solution : Let O be the centre of the concentric circle of radii 5 cm and 3 cm, respectively. Let PQ be a chord of the larger circle that touches the smaller circle at point M. OM $\perp$ PQ In $\triangle \mathrm{OMP}$, $\mathrm{OP^2=OM^2+PM^2}$ ⇒ $\mathrm{5^2=3^2+PM^2}$ ⇒
Question : $\triangle BAC\sim \triangle PQR$. The area of $\triangle BAC$ and $\triangle PQR$ is 25 cm2 and 36 cm2 respectively. If BA = 4 cm, then what is the length of PQ?
Option 1: 5.8 cm
Option 2: 4.2 cm
Option 3: 4.8 cm
Option 4: 5 cm
Correct Answer: 4.8 cm
Solution : Given: $\triangle BAC\sim \triangle PQR$. The area of $\triangle BAC$ and $\triangle PQR$ is 25 cm2 and 36 cm2 respectively. BA = 4 cm A similar triangle's area is proportional to the squares of the respective sides. Let PQ be $x$ cm.
