Note: The questions provided in this document are similar to the questions that were asked in the actual Olympiad exam. So, we recommend you study these for your Olympiad preparation.
Ans: (b)
Q2: Complete the following series:
FIL, GJM, HKN, ___
(a) ILM
(b) IJO
(c) ILN
(d) ILO
Ans: (d)
The patter is: + 3, + 3, + 3
The series is running according to the alphabetical order -
F + 3 = I
I + 3 = L
Then, the next letter to F is G.
G + 3 = J
J + 3 = M
= GJM
Then, the next letter to G is H.
H + 3 = K
K + 3 = N
= HKN
Then, the next letter to H is I.
So,
I + 3 = L
L + 3 = O
= ILO

Q18: A is a metallic plate and B is a wooden plate. A feels colder as compared to B during winters. Which of the following properties of the metallic plate causes this effect?
(a) It is a bad conductor of heat.
(b) It is a good conductor of heat.
(c) The metallic plate has a shiny surface.
(d) None of these
Ans: (b)
The metallic plate feels colder as compared to the wooden plate because the metallic plate is a good conductor of heat. When you touch steel, your skin is at body temperature while the steel is at room temperature, about 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Heat flows quickly from the warm skin to the highly conductive steel. Your skin rapidly cools off and feels cold. When you touch wood, it doesn't conduct heat very well and blocks the flow. Your skin doesn't cool off, and hence, doesn't feel cold.

(c) 2 hours
(d) 3 hours
Ans: (b)
Relative speed of two buses = 50 - 40 = 10 km/h
Distance = 50 km
Time taken to cover this distance = Distance/Speed = 50/10 = 5 hours.

China rose is a natural indicator which gives dark pink (magenta) colour with acids and turns green with bases. Hence, 'A' is an acid.
Acids turn red when methyl orange indicator is added to them and remain colourless when phenolphthalein is added.
Therefore, option (a) is correct.
