Instructions:
In this test there are six subtests. For each item in this test, four answers
a,b,c,d are given. Out of which only one answer is correct. Answers should be
marked on the response sheet separately given to you
In the response sheet, letters a, b, c, and d are marked against each option.
Find the correct answer and mark 'X' in the column below the correct answer.
If the answer marked by you is found to be wrong, draw a square 0around
it and mark 'X' in the proper place.
When the invigilator says 'start', start marking the answer, and when he says
'stop', stop marking. After the test, response sheet and test booklet are to be
returned to the invigilator.
If you have any doubt regarding answering the test the invigilator will help
you in giving necessary clarifications.

b) inorder to utilise the inertia of motion gained through running.
c) inorder to increase his confidence through running.

a) gases are not attracted towards space.
b) atmospheric gases repel each other
c) atmospheric gases attract each other
d) earth attracts the gases
4) A green leaf appears to be dark in red light. What is the most suitable reason
for this?
a) all substance appear to be dark in red light
b) the leaf absorbs red light and doesnot reflect other colours
C) leaf absorbs and reflects red light
d) red l i-~ h is
t so feeble that the leaf can't be seen
5) When an inflated balloon placed on the smooth surface of a table, was pricked
with a pin, air gushed out and the balloon moved in the opposite direction.
The most suitable reason for this may be
a) the air gushed out through the hole with a high velocity.
b) the weight of the balloon decreased and motion became easy.
c) the smooth surface of the table made the balloon friction free.
d) the air gushing out exerted force on the balloon in the opposite direction.
6) When we troad on mud, our legs get immersed in it. But when we stand on
wooden plank over it the plank doesn't get immersed. The reason for this
may be
a) when we stand on the wooden plank the force exerted on the mud is
less.
b) since the area of the wooden plank is greater than of the feet, the
