Q.1 Medium General Science
The focal length of a convex mirror is 20 cm. What is its radius of curvature?
A 10 cm
B 40 cm
C 20 cm
D 5 cm
Correct Answer:  B. 40 cm
EXPLANATION

The relationship between focal length (f) and radius of curvature (R) is: R = 2f. Therefore, R = 2 × 20 = 40 cm.

Q.2 Medium General Science
Which of the following is an example of an endothermic reaction?
A Burning of coal
B Rusting of iron
C Melting of ice
D Combustion of natural gas
Correct Answer:  C. Melting of ice
EXPLANATION

Melting of ice is an endothermic process as it requires heat energy input to convert solid ice into liquid water. Other options are exothermic reactions that release heat.

Test
If the speed of light is 3 × 10⁸ m/s and light travels for 2 seconds, what distance does it cover?
A 6 × 10⁸ m
B 1.5 × 10⁸ m
C 3 × 10¹⁶ m
D 9 × 10⁸ m
Correct Answer:  A. 6 × 10⁸ m
EXPLANATION

Using Distance = Speed × Time: Distance = 3 × 10⁸ × 2 = 6 × 10⁸ meters.

Test
At what temperature do Celsius and Fahrenheit scales show the same numerical value?
A -20°
B -40°
C
D -10°
Correct Answer:  B. -40°
EXPLANATION

Using the formula F = (9/5)C + 32, when C = F, we get C = (9/5)C + 32, solving gives C = -40°

Test
Which of the following exhibits both wave and particle properties?
A Sound waves only
B Light only
C Light and electrons
D Water waves only
Correct Answer:  C. Light and electrons
EXPLANATION

Light and electrons exhibit wave-particle duality, meaning they behave as both waves and particles depending on the experiment.

Test
Q.6 Medium General Science
The pH scale ranges from:
A 0 to 5
B 0 to 14
C 1 to 10
D 5 to 15
Correct Answer:  B. 0 to 14
EXPLANATION

The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, where 7 is neutral, below 7 is acidic, and above 7 is basic/alkaline.

Test
Q.7 Medium General Science
If a 5 kg object is lifted to a height of 2 meters, what is the gravitational potential energy gained? (g = 10 m/s²)
A 50 J
B 100 J
C 200 J
D 500 J
Correct Answer:  B. 100 J
EXPLANATION

Gravitational potential energy = mgh = 5 × 10 × 2 = 100 J

Test
Q.8 Medium General Science
Which hormone is responsible for regulating blood sugar levels in humans?
A Adrenaline
B Insulin
C Thyroxine
D Cortisol
Correct Answer:  B. Insulin
EXPLANATION

Insulin, produced by the pancreas, regulates blood glucose levels by promoting glucose uptake by cells.

Test
Which of the following is a non-renewable source of energy?
A Solar energy
B Wind energy
C Coal
D Hydroelectric energy
Correct Answer:  C. Coal
EXPLANATION

Coal is a non-renewable fossil fuel that takes millions of years to form. Solar, wind, and hydroelectric are renewable sources.

Test
Q.10 Hard General Science
Which of the following elements has the highest electronegativity according to the Pauling scale?
A Oxygen
B Chlorine
C Fluorine
D Nitrogen
Correct Answer:  C. Fluorine
EXPLANATION

Fluorine has the highest electronegativity value (3.98) on the Pauling scale. Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons in a chemical bond. As we go from fluorine down the halogen group, electronegativity decreases.
