SECTION-B
This section includes 3 questions carrying 1 mark each.
Question No. 8 to 10 consist of two statements- Assertion (A) and Reason(R). Answer
these questions selecting the appropriate option given below:
8. Assertion(A)- If the distance travelled by the body is directly proportional to the square
of time taken , then its speed is increasing with time .
Reason(R)- The speed is equal to the time rate of change of distance.
(A)Assertion and reason both are true and reason is the correct explanation
of the assertion.
(B)Assertion and reason both are true but reason is not the correct
explanation of the assertion.
(C) Assertion is true reason is False.
(D) Reason is true and assertion is False.
9. C Assertion- In rainy season, humidity level is quite high.
Reason- In rainy season, air is already saturated with water vapours.
(A)Assertion and reason both are true and reason is the correct explanation
of the assertion.
(B)Assertion and reason both are true but reason is not the correct
explanation of the assertion.
(C) Assertion is true and reason is False.
(D) Reason is true and assertion is False.
10.B Assertion- Membrane bound cell organelles are absent in prokaryotes.
Reason- Hereditary material DNA lies freely in the cytoplasm.
(A)Assertion and reason both are true and reason is the correct explanation
of the assertion.
(B)Assertion and reason both are true but reason is not the correct
explanation of the assertion.
(C) Assertion is true and reason is False.
(D) Reason is true and assertion is False.
SECTION-C
This section includes 3 questions carrying 2 marks each.
11.Body can have zero average velocity but not zero average speed justify giving an
example.
12.Solids are generally very heavy while gases are light. Explain.
13.Where are genes located in a cell? Name the nucleic acids that are present in animal
cell.
SECTION-D
This section includes 3 questions carrying 3 marks each.
14. The velocity - time graph of a body is shown in figure
(a). State the kind of motion represented by OA and AB.
(b). What is the velocity of body at 10 second and 40 seconds?
( c). Calculate the distance covered by the body from 10 seconds to 30 seconds.
15.Tabulate three differences between boiling and evaporation.
16.
a. Where are ribosomes present in cell ?
b. What makes them so important?
c. Name the two cell organelles present in plant cell that are semiautonomous.
SECTION-E
This section includes 3 questions carrying 5 marks each.
17.(i) Write three differences between speed and velocity.
(ii). A motorcycle drives from A to B with speed 50 m/s and returns back with speed 40
m/s. Find its average speed .
(iii). A car starts from rest and moves with uniform acceleration of 0.1 m/s-2 for 2 minutes.
Find the speed acquired and the distance travelled by it in this time.
18.
a. Why does the temperature remain constant when a solid melts?
b. You want to wear your favourite shirt to a party, but the problem is that it is still
wet after a wash. Mention three steps with reason that you would take to dry it
faster?
c. It is a hot summer day. Deepika and Nikhil are wearing cotton and nylon clothes
respectively. Who do you think would be more comfortable and why?
