A midpoint is a point on a line segment equally distant from the two endpoints. The Midpoint Theorem is used to make a bold statement regarding triangle sides and their lengths. Given a triangle, if we connect two sides with a line segment, and this line segment joins each of the two sides at the centers, or midpoints of each side, we can know two very important aspects about the triangle and the relationships between the sides.

We know that in a triangle, if three altitudes are equal, then the triangle is called equilateral.

L.C.M. of 2³×3³ and 2²×3² is the product of all prime numbers with greatest power of every given number = 2³×3³

The correct answer is Both 1 and 2

Key PointsAir Pollution 

• Air pollution is created when harmful substances, in the form of gases, liquids, or solids, enter the air.
• There are natural processes that create air pollution - such as
  • sulfur and chlorine gases from volcanic activity, smoke and ash from wildfires, dust storms (e.g. from the Sahara), and biological decay - but most pollution enters the air from human-made (anthropogenic) sources. Hence, options 1 and 2 are correct.
• Other natural sources are released during catastrophes such as volcanic eruptions and forest fires.
• Large amounts of harmful gases and smoke are released which can increase background pollution levels for years - even in areas far away from the original source.
• Ozone is one of the most common natural air pollutants.
• Most human-made air pollution comes from burning fossil fuels for transportation, electricity, and industry.
• Common pollutants produced by fossil fuel burning engines are carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and particulates.
• Stoves, incinerators, and open burning produce carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, as well as particulates.
• ​Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), which are used as refrigerants, are examples of pollutants that only come from human activity.

Bacteria are the sole members of the Kingdom Monera. They are the most abundant micro-organisms.
On the basis of origin, bacteria can be divided into two types - Archaebacteria & Eubacteria

Archaebacteria:

• These bacteria are special since they live in some of the harshest habitats such as extreme salty areas (halophiles), hot springs (thermoacidophiles) and marshy areas (methanogens).
• Archaebacteria differ from other bacteria in having a different cell wall structure and this feature is responsible for their survival in extreme conditions.
• For example - Methanogens are present in the gut of several ruminant animals such as cows and buffaloes and they are responsible for the production of methane (biogas) from the dung of these animals.

Additional Information

Eubacteria:

• There are thousands of different eubacteria or ‘true bacteria’.
• They are characterised by the presence of a rigid cell wall, and if motile, a flagellum.
• The Eubacteria can be both autotrophic & heterotrophic.

The correct answer is Clay.

Key Points

• The particles that makeup soil are categorized into three groups by size – sand, silt, and clay.
  • Single clay particles cannot be seen with a naked eye.
  • Size is less than 0.002 mm in diameter.
  • ​​Sand particles are the largest and clay particles the smallest. 

Additional Information

• The particles in clay are tightly packed together with each other with very little or no airspace.
• This clay has very good water storage qualities and makes it hard for moisture and air to penetrate into it.
  • It is very sticky to the touch when wet, but smooth when dried.
  • It is the densest and heaviest type of soil that does not drain well or provide space for plant roots to flourish.

Concept:

Solid waste:

• Almost everything that we use degenerates and loses its utility over a period of time.
• Many things become unusable after we use them only once.
• Everything that we discard after it loses its usability is known as solid waste or garbage.
• All such wastes are not uniform in nature.
• Solid wastes can be divided into two distinct categories biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste.

Explanation:

Non-biodegradable waste:

• Non-biodegradable materials are those materials, which cannot be broken down easily, and retain their form for a long period of time.
• So, those in which there was no change are non-biodegradable materials.  
• For example, metals, tin, plastics etc.

Segregation of wastes:

• The “reuse, recycle, reduce and refuse” this slogan is associated with the practice of waste segregation and management.
• A new set of coloured trash cans are purchased.
• Each block has three distinct trash cans for the disposal of different kinds of waste.
• Waste that has been separated is now disposed of in designated green, blue, and yellow trash cans.
• Plastic wrappers and other non-biodegradable debris are intended for disposal in blue trash cans.

Thus, the blue colour of bins is used for non-biodegradable waste.

Additional InformationBiodegradabel waste:

• We define biodegradable materials as those substances made of organic matter, such as plant and animal matter, that can be easily broken down by nature.
• For example, vegetable peels and other kitchen waste, vegetables, fruits, tea leaves, wood, etc.

Waste and their segregation tank colour:

• Charles Robert Darwin,in his book “The Origin of Species”, gave the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection.
• Gregor Johann Mendel, also known as the father of genetics, gave the Law of Inheritance.
• The theory of origin of life on earth proposed by Haldane was confirmed by the experiments conducted by Stanley L. Miller and Harold C. Urey in 1953.

Concept: 

• Water is a cyclic resource with abundant supplies on the globe.
• Approximately, 71 per cent of the earth’s surface is covered with it but freshwater constitutes only about 3 per cent of the total water.
• In fact, a very small proportion of fresh water is effectively available for human use.
• The availability of fresh water varies over space and time.
• Water is one of the most important resources on earth as it is required for all day to day activities.
• It is required for drinking, washing, cooking as well as forms an essential part of the body of all living organisms.
• Geographically, water is required to ensure a balance of seasons.

Explanation:

• Water scarcity will possibly pose the greatest challenge on earth.
• It is because of increased demand coupled with shrinking supplies.
• There is over utilisation of water due to increasing population which is also one of the causes of increasing water pollution.
• Water pollution is the addition of unwanted material into water that makes it unfit for human consumption.
• With increasing reliance on water bodies for waste disposal etc, there has been ever-increasing water pollution.

∴ We should conserve water because:

• less water is available for usage
• the demand for water has increased
• water pollution has increased

• The blue litmus paper will turn red when it comes into contact with an acidic solution.
• When a litmus paper is put in a solution, depending on what the solution is, the indicator will react with the solution and will change its colour.
• On the other hand, red litmus paper reacts to alkaline substances by turning blue.
• Note: Acid will turn red litmus paper to red only.No change.

Concept:

• Plants have different types of roots.
• Some store food, some breathe some hang from the branches.

Explanation:

• Roots are the underground structures that help in the absorption of water and minerals provide a proper anchorage to the plant parts, storage of reserve food material (Carrot, Radish), and synthesis of PGR (plant growth regulators).
• Sometimes roots get modified to perform different functions like storage of food, respiration, climbing, etc.
• These types of roots are called modified roots.
• Examples - prop root of the Banyan tree for providing support, Pneumatophores of Rhizophora, and Mangrove plants for respiration.

So, these statements are correct.

• To give support to the plant.
• To store food.
• To absorb water and minerals.

Thus, roots do not function to provide humus.

The Correct answer is Uniform motion.

Key Points

• Motion​:
  • It is a phenomenon in which an object changes its position with respect to time.
  • All motions are relative to some frame of reference. 
  • There are two types of motion:
    • Uniform Motion
    • Non-uniform Motion
• Uniform motion:
  • If an object is traveling with uniform motion, it is moving in a straight line at a constant speed.
  • For example, An object falling at terminal velocity experiences the same air resistance as its weight.
  • Newton's first law can be used to explain the movement of objects traveling with uniform motion.
  • Newton's first law is a body that is at rest or moving at a uniform rate in a straight line will remain in that state until some force is applied to it.

​Additional Information

• Retarding motion: The Motion in which the speed of the body gradually decreases.
• Non-uniform motion: If a body covers unequal distances in equal intervals of time
• Non-linear Motion: Nonlinear motion is motion along a curved path; It is the combination of two components of motion' horizontal motion (without acceleration) vertical motion (under the acceleration of gravity).
