• According to the law of supply, if the price increases the quantity supplied will also increase.
• Law of supply states that other factors remaining constant, price and quantity supplied of a good are directly related to each other.

• All the citrus fruits such as guava, oranges, kiwi, etc, are a good source of vitamin C.
• Apples and tomatoes are also rich in vitamin C.

• Cholera is caused because of a bacterium called Vibrio cholerae.

• The major component of honey is fructose.
• Honey is a food substance which is sweet and is produced by bees from the sugary secretions of plants.
• Honey gets its sweetness from glucose and monosaccharides fructose.
• Fructose, also known as fruit sugar is a ketonic monosaccharide found in many plants.
• Sucrose is the common table sugar and maltose is malt sugar.

• The 5 nucleobases include thymine, uracil, adenine, cytosine, and guanine.

• In a blast furnace, coke (C) reacts with oxygen to form carbon monoxide, which then reacts with iron oxide to form carbon dioxide and pig iron.
• Iron oxide must be reduced in order to obtain iron and this can be done only in a blast furnace.

• Silver is obtained by leaching it over with a dilute cyanide solution. It is also sometimes extracted from its ore by smelting.
• Titanium is obtained using the Kroll process.
• Vanadium is obtained through various ways such as passing the electric current through molten vanadium chloride or calcium with vanadium oxide.
• Zinc is obtained by roasting and smelting.

• Copper is extracted by the thermal reduction process. It is a group of processes based on the reduction of metal compounds by more active metals into corresponding metals and accompanied by the evolution of heat.
• Iron is extracted through the process of calcination roasting.

• The S.I unit of “luminance” is candela per meter square, i.e., cd/m²
• Stilb is the CGS unit of “luminance”.
• For a light travelling in a given direction, the photometric measure of the luminous intensity per unit area, is termed as “luminance”.

Kinetic energy is given by the formula ½ × m × v², where m is the mass of the moving object and v is its velocity. Therefore, when speed is halved kinetic energy becomes ¼ of the original.

Eg. m = 2 kg, v₁ = 40, v₂ = 20(when speed of object is halved)

K.E₁ = 0.5 ×2× 40 ×40 = 1600

K.E₂ = 0.5 × 2 × 20 × 20 = 400

Oscillation is going back and forth repeatedly between two positions or states. Oscillation can be a periodic or aperiodic motion.

Simple harmonic motion is a type of periodic oscillation where the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement.

The motion of a simple pendulum is an example of simple harmonic motion.

• It is the Charle’s Law that describes how gases tend to expand when heated. This law was formulated by Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac in 1802, but he credited it to the unpublished work of Jacques Charles.

• For a fixed mass of gas at constant pressure, the volume is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature.

  V/T=Const

• The atmosphere of the earth is heated by the process of convection. 
• In cases of liquids and gases, the transfer of heat takes place through convection. It is a process by which heat travels through water, gas, air, or other liquids.
• In convection, the heat energy is transferred by the actual movement of the particles from one place to another. Whenever a liquid or a gas is heated, the molecules of these substances become lightened and move upwards and then cooler molecules settle downwards and heated. In this way, the atmosphere of our earth is heated by the process of Convection. 
• Radiation is the propagation or emission of energy in the form of waves or rays.
• Conduction is the process of movement of electricity or heat through a passage or medium.
• The discharge and production of radiations and gases is known as emission.

Note: Radiation and Conduction processes are also involved but Convection is dominant. 

• A person with hypermetropia cannot see nearby objects clearly.
• Hypermetropia, sometimes called hyperopia, is the term used to define being longsighted.
• If a person is hypermetropic, the image of a nearby object is formed behind the retina. This means that light is focused too far back in the eye, causing things which are close up to appear blurred.

Hence, 1 is the correct option.

• The phenomenon of electromagnetic induction is the current induced in a coil due to relative motion between a magnet and the coil.
• It was discovered by Michael Faraday.
• Electrical equipment like motor, generators, and transformer are based on the phenomena of electromagnetic induction.

Work done is given by the dot product of force and displacement vector i.e.,  = Fd cosq, where q is the angle between the force and displacement vector. Hence the work done depends on displacement d, force F, and q - angle between force and displacement.
