The ratio of radii of two circles is in the ratio of 1:5. Calculate the ratio of their perimeters.​
  • a)
    1:2
  • b)
    1:5
  • c)
    1:6
  • d)
    1:8
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Abhishek Anand answered
Let the radii of circles be R1 and R2

according to question,

R1/R2 = 1/5

therefore, R1 = R2/5

Also,

2πR1/2πR2

By Putting the value of R1 here we can write this like,

2πR2/5/ 2πR2

now 2π and 2π will be cancelled, and this will be left ->

R2/5 × 5/R2

After cancelling R2 and R2, 1/5 will be left

= 1:5

So, the ratio of 2πR1 / 2πR2 = 1:5

Find the circumference of the circle, whose area is 144 cm2

  • d)
    12 πcm
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Anjana Khatri answered
 area = pi times the square of the radius 
so the radius is the square root of 144, or 12cm 
circumference is pi times twice the radius, so it would be 24 pi cm

    2nd
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Let AOB be the given sector.
Given, 
Radius of circle r = 5.2 cm
Perimeter of sector AOB = 16.4 cm
So, OA + OB + Arc AB = 16.4 cm
5.2 + 5.2 + Arc AB = 16.4 cm
Arc AB = 6 cm
l = Arc length AB
= 6 cm
Area of sector AOB = 1/2 * r * l
= 1 / 2 * 5.2 x 6
= 15.6 cm^2 Ans.

If the difference between the circumference and the radius of a circle is 37 cm, then using π = 22/7, the circumference (in cm) of the circle is:​
  • a)
    44
  • b)
    7
  • c)
    14
  • d)
    154
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Adidev Nair answered
Let r be the radius of circle.

Difference between circumference and radius of circle = 37 cm

Circumference of circle = 2
r

                                      = 2 x 22/7 x r = 44/7 x r

Now,

Difference between circumference and radius of circle = 2
r - r

37 = 44/7 x r - r

37 = r(44/7-1)

37 = r(44 - 7)/7

37 = 37 / 7 x r

37 x 7/37 = r

r = 7 cm

Now , Circumference of circle = 44/7 x r

                                                 = 44/7 x 7

                                                 = 44 cm . 

∴ Circumference of circle = 44 cm

What will be the colour of sky if there is no atmosphere on the earth?
  • a)
    Dark blue
  • b)
    Black
  • c)
    Red
  • d)
    White
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Malavika Basu answered
Raleigh Scattering of light by the atmosphere is what causes "the sky" to appear blue (and sunsets to appear red), but that "sky" is a colour of the atmosphere. If there is no atmosphere, what colour is it?

Without the atmosphere there is nothing local to act as a (secondary) source of light, so there is no light and we conventionally call objects that emit (little or) no light "black". So the non-object that is "the sky" could be called "black".

If we consider all light from "the heavens" to be the colour of "the sky" then it is clearly not "black". Even with the atmosphere and nasty light pollution from cities, the Milky Way appears rather off-white. With an even grander view of the Universe, we are told it's overall shade is Cosmic Latte, but I would take that with a pinch of salt or, perhaps, a tint of grey when it comes to human perception.

My preferred word for the apparent colour of "the sky" would be transparent rather than "black", but a pedant could argue that "transparent" is not a colour...

Which light is easily scattered ?
  • a)
    Long wavelength light
  • b)

We have circumference which is equal to the boundary of the circle. So we have one revolution equal to circumference of the circle which is equal to 4
Distance covered by the roller=circumference of the roller*number of revolutions
⇒ number of revolutions = distance covered by the roller/circumference of the roller
= 40/4 = 10

Amit Kumar answered
The danger signals are red because among all other colours, red colour is scattered the least by smoke or fog. This is primarily because  wavelength of red colour is the largest.

Which colour is strongly scattered by the molecules of air and other fine particles?
  • a)
    Green
  • b)
    Red
  • c)
    Red and Blue both
  • d)
    Blue
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Amit Sharma answered
Sunlight reaches Earth's atmosphere and is scattered in all directions by all the gases and particles in the air. Blue light is scattered in all directions by the tiny molecules of air in Earth's atmosphere. Blue travels as shorter, smaller waves. So as shorter the wavelength, stronger will be the light scattered. Hence, blue light is strongly scattered.

A wire is bent in the form of a circle of radius 28 cm. It is bent to form a square. The length of the side of the square will be​

Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Ashish joshi answered
Understanding the Blue Colour of the Sky
The blue colour of the sky is primarily due to a phenomenon known as Rayleigh scattering. Here’s a detailed explanation:
What is Rayleigh Scattering?
- Rayleigh scattering occurs when sunlight interacts with molecules in the Earth’s atmosphere.
- Sunlight, or white light, is composed of multiple colours, each with different wavelengths.
Why is Blue Light Scattered More?
- Blue light has a shorter wavelength compared to other colours like red or yellow.
- When sunlight passes through the atmosphere, the shorter wavelengths (blue) are scattered in all directions more effectively than longer wavelengths (red).
Resulting Effect on the Sky's Colour
- Since blue light is scattered more than other colours, it is the predominant colour that we see when we look up at the sky.
- This scattering causes the direct sunlight to appear less blue and the sky itself to appear predominantly blue.
Conclusion
- Therefore, the correct answer to the question about why the sky is blue is option 'C': blue light is preferentially scattered.
- This concept is fundamental in understanding atmospheric optics and the appearance of the natural environment.
By grasping this principle, one can appreciate the beauty of our sky and the science behind its captivating colour.

The radius of a circle if its perimeter and area are numerically equal is​
  • a)
    8 units
  • b)
    5 units
  • c)
    2 units
  • d)
    4 units
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Ananya Das answered
The perimeter of a circle is 2πr where r is the radius of the circle.
And it's area is πr^2

If area = perimeter

Then,

2πr = πr^2

2 = πr^2 / πr = r

Therefore, if r is 2units then the area and perimeter of the circle would be numerically equal.

The diameter of a circle whose area is equal to the sum of the areas of the two circles of radii 24 cm and 7 cm is​
  • a)
    50 cm
  • b)
    31 cm
  • c)
    62 cm
  • d)
    25 cm
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Mohini iyer answered
Given:
Radius of first circle = 24 cm
Radius of second circle = 7 cm

We need to find the diameter of a circle whose area is equal to the sum of the areas of the two circles.

Formula for the area of a circle:
Area = πr^2

Let's calculate the areas of the two circles first.

Area of the first circle = π(24)^2
= 576π cm^2

Area of the second circle = π(7)^2
= 49π cm^2

Now, we need to find the diameter of a circle whose area is equal to the sum of the areas of the two circles.

Sum of the areas of the two circles = 576π + 49π
= 625π cm^2

To find the diameter, we can use the formula for the area of a circle:

Area = πr^2

Let's substitute the given area into the formula:

625π = πr^2

Dividing both sides by π:

625 = r^2

Taking the square root of both sides:

r = √625
r = 25 cm

Since the radius is 25 cm, the diameter will be twice the radius:

Diameter = 2r
= 2(25)
= 50 cm

Therefore, the diameter of the circle whose area is equal to the sum of the areas of the two circles is 50 cm, which corresponds to option A.

  • a)
    (i), (iiii) and (iv)
  • b)
    (i) , (ii), (iii), (iv)
  • c)
    (ii) and (iv)
  • d)
    (i) , (ii), and (iv)
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding Social Outcomes of Democracy
Democracy is not just about political rights; it encompasses various social outcomes that contribute to the overall well-being of citizens. The options listed in the question highlight important areas that reflect the essence of a democratic society.
Key Areas of Social Outcomes:
  • Dignity and Freedom of Citizens: A fundamental principle of democracy is the recognition of each individual's dignity and the protection of their freedoms. This ensures that citizens can express themselves without fear of repression.
  • Untouchability and Discrimination: Democracy aims to eradicate social injustices, including untouchability and discrimination based on caste, race, or religion. Addressing these issues is crucial for fostering an inclusive society.
  • Gender Equality: A democratic society promotes gender equality, ensuring that all individuals, regardless of gender, have equal rights and opportunities. This is vital for social progress and justice.
  • Ban on Child Labour: Protecting children from exploitation, including child labour, is a significant aspect of social justice within a democracy. It reflects a society's commitment to the rights of the most vulnerable.

Correct Answer Explanation:
The correct answer is option 'B' because:
  • Each of the points (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) directly relates to social outcomes stemming from democratic values.
  • Democracy inherently promotes dignity and freedom (i), combats discrimination (ii), advocates for gender equality (iii), and seeks to eliminate child labour (iv).
  • Thus, all four areas collectively represent the social outcomes that a thriving democracy strives to achieve.

In summary, option 'B' encapsulates the essence of social outcomes in a democratic context, highlighting the imperative to uphold dignity, equality, and justice for all citizens.

Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Kds Coaching answered
Assertion: Democracies have had greater success in setting up regular and free elections.


Reason: Elections are conducted by an independent body like Election Commission.
 
While both the assertion and the reason are true, the reason provided is not the direct explanation for the assertion. Democracies' success in setting up regular and free elections is due to various factors, such as political culture, citizens' participation, and institutional frameworks. The presence of independent bodies like the Election Commission ensures fair and unbiased electoral processes, but it is not the sole reason for the success of democracies in elections. Therefore, Option 2 is the correct choice: Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
