S2. Ans.(c)
Sol. The island of Honshu is in Japan.
S3. Ans.(d)
Sol. Narmada flows into the Gulf of Khambhat (Arabian Sea).
S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. 1. Slate – Metamorphous Rock
2. Lignite – sedimentary rock
3. Bauxite – Nonferrous mineral
4. Granite – Igneous rock
S5. Ans.(b)
Sol. Kapurthala is a city in Punjab state and famous for production of railway coaches, it was established in 1986 by the government of India.
S7. Ans.(a)
Sol. Two layers of a cloth are warmer because air trapped between the layers acts as thermal insulator restricting the heat transfer.
S8. Ans.(c)
Sol. A mobile phone charger is basically a step-down transformer which converts high voltage to low voltage.
S9. Ans.(a)
Sol. Image formed by a plane and a convex mirror is always erect. Concave mirror forms image both erect and inverted depends on the position of the object from the mirror.
