Two electric bulbs marked 25W – 220V and 100W – 220V are connected in series to a 440Vsupply. Which of the bulbs will fuse?

   A.) 100 W
   B.) 25 W
   C.) Both
   D.) Neither

Answer: Option 'B'

Resistances of both the bulbs are

R1=V^2/P1 = 220^2/25

R2 = V^2/P2 = 220^2/100

Hence  R1gt ; R2R1gt ; R2

When connected in series, the voltages divide in them in the ratio of their resistances. The voltage of 440 V devides in such a way that voltage across 25 w bulb will be more than 220 V. Hence 25 w bulb will fuse.

It is more difficult to walk on ice than on a concrete road because

   A.) there is more friction between the ice and feer
   B.) there is very little friction between the ice and feet pressing it
   C.) ice is soft when compared to concrete
   D.) None of these

Answer: Option 'B'

It is the friction between the feet and the ground that helps us to walk. Without this friction we would slip and fall

Nuclear sizes are expressed in a unit named

   A.) Newton
   B.) Fermi
   C.) Angstrom
   D.) Tesla

Answer: Option 'B'

Nuclear sizes are expressed in a unit called "Fermi" which is a unit of length equal to 10−15 metre (one femtometre), used in nuclear physics. It is similar to the diameter of a proton.

A solid ball of metal has a spherical cavity inside it. When the ball is heated the volume of the cavity will

   A.) remain unaffected
   B.) increase
   C.) decrease
   D.) have its shape changed

Answer: Option 'B'

The metal ball can be considered  to be made up of several layers of thinner ones. On heating each of these layers will increase in radius. As the inner most layer also increases its radius, the volume inside it i.e, the volume of the hollow portion will also increase.
