b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
c) A is true but R is false.
d) A is false but R is true.
e) Both A and R are false.

1. Assertion (A): The reaction of hydrogen gas with oxygen gas to form water
is a combination reaction.

Reason (R): In a combination reaction, two or more reactants combine to

form a single product.

2. Assertion (A): In the reaction between copper(II) oxide and hydrogen,

hydrogen is oxidized.

Reason (R): Hydrogen gains oxygen in this reaction, forming water.

3. Assertion (A): The reaction between zinc and dilute hydrochloric acid
produces hydrogen gas.

Reason (R): Zinc displaces hydrogen from the acid, forming zinc chloride
and hydrogen gas.

4. Assertion (A): Diluting an acid by adding it to water is recommended

because it minimizes the risk of splashing.

Reason (R): Adding water to acid can cause a violent exothermic reaction,
making it dangerous.

5. Assertion (A): Döbereiner's triads were able to accurately group elements

based on their atomic masses.

Reason (R): In Döbereiner's triads, the atomic mass of the middle element
was approximately the average of the atomic masses of the other two
elements.

6. Assertion (A): Newlands' Law of Octaves was applicable only to lighter

elements.
 Reason (R): Newlands' Law of Octaves was based on the periodic
repetition of similar properties every eighth element.

7. Assertion (A): The rate of photosynthesis is not influenced by the

concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Reason (R): Photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to

produce glucose and oxygen.

8. Assertion (A): Starch is stored in plants primarily in the stems and roots.

Reason (R): Starch serves as an energy reserve that can be converted back
into glucose for metabolic processes.

9. Assertion (A): Reflex arcs evolved as efficient ways of functioning in the

absence of true thought processes.

Reason (R): Reflex arcs are controlled by the medulla in the hind-brain.

10.Assertion (A): The cerebellum is responsible for precision of voluntary

actions and maintaining posture and balance.

Reason (R): The cerebellum is part of the fore-brain, which controls

sensory impulses and motor areas.

11.Assertion (A): Mendel's experiments with pea plants demonstrated that

different traits, such as plant height and seed shape, are inherited
independently of each other.

Reason (R): Mendel's experiments showed that the traits of tallness and
round seeds could appear together with traits of shortness and wrinkled
seeds in the F2 generation.

12.Assertion (A): In Mendel's experiments, recessive traits are only expressed

when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele.

Reason (R): An individual with one dominant and one recessive allele for a
trait will express the recessive trait.

13.Assertion (A): The focal length of a spherical mirror is half the radius of
curvature.
 Reason (R): For spherical mirrors with small apertures, the radius of
curvature is equal to twice the focal length.

14.Assertion (A): The centre of curvature of a concave mirror lies in front of

the mirror, whereas for a convex mirror, it lies behind the mirror.

Reason (R): The centre of curvature is the point on the reflecting surface
of the mirror.

15.Assertion (A): Myopia is a condition where distant objects are seen clearly,
but nearby objects appear blurry.

Reason (R): Myopia is caused by the elongation of the eyeball or excessive

curvature of the eye lens.

16.Assertion (A): Hypermetropia can be corrected using a concave lens of

appropriate power.

Reason (R): In hypermetropia, the focal length of the eye lens is too long
or the eyeball is too small.

17.Assertion (A): In a thermal power plant, fossil fuels are burnt to produce
heat energy which is converted into electrical energy.

Reason (R): Thermal power plants are often located near coal or oil fields
because the transmission of electricity is more efficient than transporting
coal or petroleum.

18.Assertion (A): Hydro power plants can continuously generate electricity as

long as there is rainfall to refill the reservoirs.

Reason (R): Hydro power plants convert the potential energy of water
stored in dams into electricity, making them a renewable energy source.

these gases were later discovered; they could be placed in a new group
without disrupting the existing order of elements.

Question:

how were they accommodated in Mendeleev’s Periodic Table?

atmosphere. These droplets act like small prisms, refracting and
dispersing the sunlight into various colors. The different colors reach the
observer's eye due to the dispersion and internal reflection within the
droplets."
Question: How do water droplets in the atmosphere create a rainbow?
a) By absorbing sunlight
b) By reflecting sunlight only
c) By refracting, dispersing, and reflecting sunlight
d) By cooling the air around them

16.Stimulus: "Twinkling of stars is caused by the atmospheric refraction of

starlight. As starlight enters the Earth's atmosphere, it passes through
layers of air with varying densities. This causes continuous bending of
the light path, making stars appear to twinkle. The effect is less
noticeable with planets because they appear larger and their light
doesn't fluctuate as much."
Question: Why do stars twinkle more noticeably than planets?
a) Because stars are hotter
b) Due to the size difference in their images
c) Because planets do not emit light
d) Because stars are closer to the Earth
