Q: Marijuana, a psychoactive drug is obtained from:

A: seeds of pop

B: capsules of poppy

C: female inflorescence of cannabis

D: male inflorescence of cannabis



Correct Option: C  [ female inflorescence of cannabis ]

Remark:

Explanation: Marijuana is a psychoactive drug obtained from the female inflorescence (flowering tops) of the Cannabis sativa plant. It contains the active compound tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which affects the central nervous system and alters mood and perception.


Q: Neutron was discovered by:

A: J. Chadwick

B: J. J. Thomson

C: Rutherford

D: Neil Bohr



Correct Option: A  [ J. Chadwick ]

Remark:

Explanation: Neutron was discovered by James Chadwick in 1932. He identified the neutron as a neutral subatomic particle present in the nucleus of an atom, having a mass nearly equal to that of a proton but no electrical charge.


Q: The element common to all acids is :

A: Oxygen

B: Hydrogen

C: Nitrogen

D: Sulphur



Correct Option: B  [ Hydrogen ]

Remark:

Explanation: The element hydrogen is common to all acids. Acids are substances that produce hydrogen ions (H⁺) or hydronium ions (H₃O⁺) when dissolved in water. This property gives acids their characteristic sour taste, the ability to turn blue litmus paper red, and to react with bases to form salts and water. Examples include hydrochloric acid (HCl), sulphuric acid (H₂SO₄), and nitric acid (HNO₃)—all of which release hydrogen ions in aqueous solution.


Q: Which one of the following solutions will not turn blue litmus to red litmus?

A: Lemon juice

B: Acetic acid

C: Sodium hydroxide

D: Hydrochloric acid



Correct Option: C  [ Sodium hydroxide ]

Remark:

Explanation: Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is a base, so it does not turn blue litmus paper red. Instead, it turns red litmus paper blue. In contrast, lemon juice, acetic acid, and hydrochloric acid are acidic and turn blue litmus red.


Q: Which of the following statements is correct ?

A: Red insulated wire is called 'live' wire

B: Black insulated wire is called 'neutral' wire

C: Green insulated wire is called 'earthing'

D: All of the above



Correct Option: D  [ All of the above ]

Remark:

Explanation: In household electrical wiring, all the given statements are correct: the red insulated wire is the live (phase) wire, the black insulated wire is the neutral wire, and the green insulated wire is used for earthing to ensure safety by preventing electric shocks.


Q: Which one of the following hormone is called "Emergency Hormone"?

A: Insulin

B: Adrenaline

C: Thyroxine

D: Vasopressin



Correct Option: B  [ Adrenaline ]

Remark:

Explanation: Adrenaline (also known as epinephrine) is secreted by the adrenal medulla in response to stress, fear, anger, or excitement. It prepares the body for “fight or flight” by increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and glucose levels, and by dilating the air passages to supply more oxygen. Because it helps the body respond instantly to emergencies, it is called the “emergency hormone.”


Q: What is Air Quality Index ?

A: It tells about sound pollution.

B: It measures air pollution mainly sulphur content in the air.

C: It measures ozone levels in the selected area.

D: It checks the colour of the air.



Correct Option: C  [ It measures ozone levels in the selected area. ]

Remark:

The Air Quality Index (AQI) is a numerical scale used to measure and report the quality of air in a particular area. It primarily indicates the level of air pollution and its potential impact on human health. The AQI is calculated based on concentrations of key air pollutants — including ozone (O₃), particulate matter (PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), sulphur dioxide (SO₂), and carbon monoxide (CO). Higher AQI values indicate poorer air quality and greater health risks.

Other options (for context)

  • It tells about sound pollution: Incorrect — AQI is unrelated to noise levels.
  • It measures air pollution mainly sulphur content in the air: Partly true, but AQI includes multiple pollutants, not just sulphur dioxide.
  • It checks the colour of the air: Inc


Q: Pure gold is of

A: 24 Carat

B: 18 Carat

C: 22 Carat

D: None of these



Correct Option: A  [ 24 Carat ]

Remark:
A "carat" is a unit of measurement used to express the weight of gemstones, particularly diamonds and gold etc.


Q: __________ is the first missile developed in India.

A: Agni

B: Aakash

C: Trishul

D: Prithvi



Correct Option: D  [ Prithvi ]

Remark:

Explanation: Prithvi was the first indigenously developed missile of India, designed under the Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme (IGMDP) launched in 1983 by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). It is a surface-to-surface short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) capable of carrying both conventional and nuclear warheads. The Prithvi missile series includes Prithvi-I (Army version), Prithvi-II (Air Force), and Prithvi-III (Navy), with ranges varying from 150 km to 350 km.


Q: Which of the following is the structural and functional unit of kidneys?

A: Nephron

B: Pits

C: Nutrofil

D: Tentacle



Correct Option: A  [ Nephron ]

Remark:

Explanation: The nephron is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidney. Each human kidney contains about 1 to 1.5 million nephrons. A nephron consists of two main parts — the renal corpuscle (Bowman's capsule and glomerulus) and the renal tubule. It performs three main functions: filtration of blood, reabsorption of essential substances, and secretion
