C.
radiation
D.
both oxidation and reduction

Most of the time, oxidation occurs in tandem with reduction since one atom loses electron to be gained by another. This is known as redox reaction. In the above reaction, magnesium reduces the copper (II) ion by transferring electrons to the ion and neutralizing its charge. Therefore, magnesium is a reducing agent. Another way of putting this is that the copper (II) ion is removing electrons from the magnesium to create a magnesium ion. The copper (II) ion is acting as an oxidizing agent.

Saffron is a spice derived from the flower of the saffron crocus (Crocus sativus), a species of crocus in the family Iridaceae. The flower has three stigmas, which are the distal ends of the plant's carpels. Together with its style, the stalk connecting the stigmas to the rest of the plant, these components are often dried and used in cooking as a seasoning and colouring agent. Generally, 150 000 crocus sativus flowers yield one kilo of stigmas and around 5 kilos of stigmas make one kilo of dried saffron useable as a spice.

[22] Process of gaining electrons is known as
A.
oxidation
B.
reduction
C.
radiation
D.
both oxidation and reduction
Ans:
reduction
Explanation :
The process of losing electrons is called oxidation and the process of gaining electrons is called reduction. Most of the time, oxidation occurs in tandem with reduction since one atom loses electron to be gained by another. This is known as redox reaction. In the above reaction, magnesium reduces the copper (II) ion by transferring electrons to the ion and neutralizing its charge. Therefore, magnesium is a reducing agent. Another way of putting this is that the copper (II) ion is removing electrons from the magnesium to create a magnesium ion. The copper (II) ion is acting as an oxidizing agent.
[23] Which of the following metal (shown by its symbol) is generally used for making filaments of bulb?

Speed is a scalar quantity. It is the rate of change in the distance travelled by an object; it has only magnitude and no direction. In contrast, velocity has both magnitude as well as direction; so, it is a vector quantity.
[16] At what temperature (in Fahrenheit) pure water freezes?
A.
32
B.
0
C.
48
D.
37
Ans:
32
Explanation :
Pure water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, 0 degrees Celsius, 273.15 Kelvin. However, to freeze at this temperature, there should be sites for nucleation, for example, dust, rough walls of container, etc. If there are no nucleation sites and water is left undisturbed, it won't freeze and will super cool below 0°C.

[21] With which country India exchanged its border maps?
A.
China
B.
Sri Lanka
C.
Pakistan
D.
Bangladesh
Ans:
China
Explanation :
India and China, in November 2002, exchanged ground maps during a meeting between officials from both countries in a bid to resolve a decades-long border dispute. Besides, India and Bangladesh, on 1 August 2015, ex-changed 162 adversely-held enclaves to implement the historic Land Boundary Agreement, ending one of the world's most complex border disputes. Best Answer: Since the question is on exchange of maps, the answer will be China.
[22] Process of gaining electrons is known as
A.
oxidation
B.
reduction
C.
radiation
D.
both oxidation and reduction
Ans:
reduction
Explanation :
The process of losing electrons is called oxidation and the process of gaining electrons is called reduction. Most of the time, oxidation occurs in tandem with reduction since one atom loses electron to be gained by another. This is known as redox reaction. In the above reaction, magnesium reduces the copper (II) ion by transferring electrons to the ion and neutralizing its charge. Therefore, magnesium is a reducing agent. Another way of putting this is that the copper (II) ion is removing electrons from the magnesium to create a magnesium ion. The copper (II) ion is acting as an oxidizing agent.
[23] Which of the following metal (shown by its symbol) is generally used for making filaments of bulb?
A.
Fe
B.
An
C.
Ag
D.
W
Ans:
W
Explanation :
Tungsten, a chemical element with symbol W, is used in incandescent light bulb filaments, X-ray tubes (as both the filament and target), electrodes in TIG welding, super-alloys, and radiation shielding. It has the highest melting point of all the elements discovered, melting at 3422 °C (6192 °F, 3695 K). It also has the second highest boiling point, at 5930 °C.
[24] Which of the following trees shed their leaves once in a year?
A.
Deciduous trees
B.
Coniferous trees
C.
Evergreen trees
D.
Both deciduous and coniferous trees
Ans:
Deciduous trees
Explanation :
Deciduous trees and shrubs are plants that annually lose their leaves at the end of each growing season; usually during the winter, but can also occur during a dry season in warm climates. Common examples of deciduous trees include oak, maple, and hickory trees. Oak trees are characteristic deciduous trees that lose their leaves in the fall and regrow them in the spring.

[13] Which part of the plant gives us saffron?
A.
Roots
B.
Petals
C.
Stem
D.
Stigma
Ans:
Stigma
Explanation :
Saffron is a spice derived from the flower of the saffron crocus (Crocus sativus), a species of crocus in the family Iridaceae. The flower has three stigmas, which are the distal ends of the plant's carpels. Together with its style, the stalk connecting the stigmas to the rest of the plant, these components are often dried and used in cooking as a seasoning and colouring agent. Generally, 150 000 crocus sativus flowers yield one kilo of stigmas and around 5 kilos of stigmas make one kilo of dried saffron useable as a spice.

[22] Process of gaining electrons is known as
A.
oxidation
B.
reduction
C.
radiation
D.
both oxidation and reduction
Ans:
reduction
Explanation :
The process of losing electrons is called oxidation and the process of gaining electrons is called reduction. Most of the time, oxidation occurs in tandem with reduction since one atom loses electron to be gained by another. This is known as redox reaction. In the above reaction, magnesium reduces the copper (II) ion by transferring electrons to the ion and neutralizing its charge. Therefore, magnesium is a reducing agent. Another way of putting this is that the copper (II) ion is removing electrons from the magnesium to create a magnesium ion. The copper (II) ion is acting as an oxidizing agent.
[23] Which of the following metal (shown by its symbol) is generally used for making filaments of bulb?
A.
Fe
B.
An
C.
Ag
D.
W
Ans:
W
Explanation :
Tungsten, a chemical element with symbol W, is used in incandescent light bulb filaments, X-ray tubes (as both the filament and target), electrodes in TIG welding, super-alloys, and radiation shielding. It has the highest melting point of all the elements discovered, melting at 3422 °C (6192 °F, 3695 K). It also has the second highest boiling point, at 5930 °C.
[24] Which of the following trees shed their leaves once in a year?
A.
Deciduous trees
B.
Coniferous trees
C.
Evergreen trees
D.
Both deciduous and coniferous trees
Ans:
Deciduous trees
Explanation :
Deciduous trees and shrubs are plants that annually lose their leaves at the end of each growing season; usually during the winter, but can also occur during a dry season in warm climates. Common examples of deciduous trees include oak, maple, and hickory trees. Oak trees are characteristic deciduous trees that lose their leaves in the fall and regrow them in the spring.
