Answer : 3. "3.5%"
Explanation :
The average salinity of sea water is 3.5% or 35 parts per thousand. In other words, for every 1 litre of sea water there is 35 grams of dissolved salts (NaCl) .

Answer : 4. "oxygen and acetylene"
Explanation :
Acetylene is the only fuel gas suitable for gas welding because of its favourable flame characteristics of both high temperature and high propagation rates. Other fuel gases, such as propane, propylene or natural gas, produce insufficient heat input for welding but are used for cutting, torch brazing and soldering.
Q: Reading of a barometer going down is an indication of

Answer : 1. "rainfall"
Explanation :
Low pressure – when reading of the barometer is lower than inHg, this is considered as low air pressure, which is associated with warm air and rainstorm. So, clearly, a falling barometer indicates bad weather is ahead.
