Question : Power exerted by an object moving in a straight line is equal to force multiplied by ______.
Option 1: displacement
Option 2: velocity
Option 3: work
Option 4: acceleration
Correct Answer: velocity
Solution : The correct option is velocity.
The power exerted by an object moving in a straight line is equal to force multiplied by velocity. Mathematically, power (P) is defined as the product of force (F) and velocity (v): P=F×v
Power is the rate at which work

Question : According to a law postulated by ______, the amounts of different substances liberated by the same quantity of electricity passing through the electrolytic solution are proportional to their chemical equivalent weights.
Option 1: John Dalton
Option 2: Joseph Fourier
Option 3: Michael Faraday
Option 4: Alfred Nobel
Correct Answer: Michael Faraday
Solution : The correct option is Michael Faraday.
Michael Faraday formulated the laws in the 1830s. According to Faraday's laws, the amounts of different substances liberated (deposited or evolved) during electrolysis are directly proportional to their chemical equivalent weights when the same quantity of electricity passes
Question : If the radius of a sphere increases by 10%, what would be the change in the surface area of the sphere?
Option 1: 20%
Option 2: 21%
Option 3: 31%
Option 4: 25%
Correct Answer: 21%
Solution : The surface area ($A$) of a sphere is $4\pi r^2$, where $r$ is the radius of the sphere. If the radius increases by 10%, the new radius is $(r+0.1r) = 1.1r$ The new surface area of the sphere is then $= 4\pi (1.1r)^2 = 4\pi
Question : Direction: The given pie chart shows the runs scored by 5 players in a match.
What is the central angle made by the sector of runs scored by Yuvraj?
Option 1: 77.68$^\circ$
Option 2: 66.56$^\circ$
Option 3: 22.58$^\circ$
Option 4: 44.69$^\circ$
Correct Answer: 77.68$^\circ$
Solution : Runs scored by Yuvraj = 82 Runs scored by all five = 76 + 68 + 52 + 102 + 82 = 380 Central angle = $\frac{\text{Runs by Yuvraj}}{\text{Runs by all five}}$ × 360$^\circ$ = $\frac{82}{380}$ × 360$^\circ$ = $77.68^\circ$ Hence, the correct answer is
