By observation,

3) Similarly,

4) Letters are changing their places

5) Colour of human blood is Red but White means Red.

So, answer is white.

The convex mirrors are diverging mirror and they gives larger field of view and also forms
real, erect and diminished image.

20)

21)

The angle between the mirrors is, θ = 35°

In ΔAOB,
∠θ + 90° + 55° = 180°
∠θ = 35°

x+3=6
x=3m

25) Height of mirror =

27) Here u = –(f + a)

From the mirror formula

or

Magnification (m)
 Here negative sign indicates that image is inverted.

28) If first reflection is taken from plane mirror then u = – 40 cm and v = – 40 cm.
The image from plane mirror is acting as object for concave mirror.
Thus for concave mirror u = – 140 cm, f = – 40 cm, v = ?

apply formula
and get v = – 56 cm

–3 =
v = 3u

u = –20 cm

32) Precipitate are insoluble substance so they are represented by ↓.

36)

37) In condensation of water vapour, heat is released. So, it is an exothermic process.

38) On heating ferrous sulphate crystals strongly, it gives ferric oxide (reddish-brown), sulphur
dioxide gas and sulphur trioxide gas. Following reaction takes place-
 2FeSO4 Fe2O3 + SO2 + SO3

39) Magnesium ribbon burns in the presence of air to form a white powder called magnesium
oxide. There is no evolution of gas. The reaction is as follows-
2Mg + O2 → 2MgO

42) KI + 8KOH + 4Cl2 → KIO4 + 8KCl + 4H2O

44) Formation of hydrogen gas by the action of dilute sulphuric acid on zinc is chemical
and irreversible change.

Biology

46) A star shaped figure was cut in the black paper strip used for covering the leaf of a
destarched plant used for demonstrating the necessity of light for photosynthesis. At the end
of the experiment on testing for starch with iodine, the star shaped figure on the leaf was
found to be blue–black in colour. As it was exposed to light, photosynthesis took place in this
region.

51) The correct sequence is S, P, R and Q.

55) To prove that carbon dioxide is necessary for photosynthesis as KOH is used in the
experiment.

For the equations to be independent or unique solution
Taking option (3)
–21x – 16y – 50 = 0

Here

Other independent equation = –21x – 16y – 50 = 0

⇒k=2

76) Sum of opposite angles are supplementary in cyclic quadrilateral

2x + 11° + 3y + 6 = 180º
2x + 3y + 17° = 180º
2x + 3y = 163° … (1)

y + 12° + 5x – 25° = 180º

5x + y = 180º + 13°
5x + y = 193 … (2)
Eq. (1) × 1, eq. (2) × 3

Put x = 32° in equation (1)

2x + 3y = 163°
2 × 32° + 3y = 163°
3y = 163° – 64°
3y = 99°
y = 33°
Now ∠A = 2 × 32° + 11° = 64° + 11° = 75º
∠B = y + 12° = 33° + 12° = 45º
∠C = 3° × 33° + 6° = 99° + 6° = 105º
∠D = 5x – 25°
= 5° × 32° – 25°
= 160° – 25°
= 135º

Let the number of Buffaloes = x

Number of Ducks = y
According to question
4x + 2y = 24 + 2 (x + y)
4x + 2y = 24 + 2x + 2y
2x = 24
⇒ x = 12
Number of buffaloes = 12

⇒ 10x + 9y = 255 … (i)

⇒
⇒ 9x + 8y = 19 × 12
⇒ 9x + 8y = 228 … (ii)
Now, multiply eq (i) by 9 and eqn (ii) by 10, we get :

(10x + 9y = 255) × 9
⇒ 90x + 81y = 2295 … (iii)
(9x + 8y = 228) × 10
⇒ 90x + 80y = 2280 … (iv)
Now, subtract eq (iv) from eqn (iii), we get :
n

y = 2295 – 2280
y = 15
Now, put value of y = 15 in (i)
10x + 135 = 255
10x = 120
