Important Science GK Questions and Answers
It is advised to put oil on stagnant water to prevent the breeding of mosquitoes. This is because
(A) oil cuts off oxygen supply, thereby stops the breeding of mosquitoes
(B) mosquitoes are repelled by oil
(C) mosquitoes are killed by oil
(D) mosquitoes are killed by oil
Correct Answer : A
Explanation :
The growth or breeding of the mosquitoes can be stopped by spraying the kerosene on the water. This happens because when we spray the kerosene then the oxygen supply to the larva (small mosquitoes) stops and they die in the water. Spreading oil over water cuts the oxygen supply, hence mosquitoes cannot breed in them.

As per the NCF 2005, which one among the following is the theme of EVS?
(A) Food
(B) Solar system
(C) Weather
(D) Energy
Correct Answer : A
Explanation :
Food is the theme of EVS and rest of the topics are the themes of social science which introduces at the elementary level e.g. class-6th.
Which one among the following is the strongest argument in favor of adopting a theme-based approach in EVS?
(A) It helps in giving a structure to lesson plans and makes teaching more effective
(B) It helps in making teaching more interesting and activity based
(C) It helps in covering a wide range of concepts, issues and skills
(D) It helps in softening subject boundaries and accessing knowledge holistically
Correct Answer : A
Explanation :
Pedagogy of thematic learning is based on its exploration of broad areas in one theme. The above points suggest that it helps in softening subject boundaries and accessing knowledge holistically. Hence, adopting a theme-based approach in EVS helps in softening subject boundaries and accessing knowledge holistically.
Stories are an important aspect of teaching-learning EVS in primary classes. Which one of the following is the least appropriate reason for including storytelling as pedagogy in EVS classrooms?
(A) Stories include experience of the people
(B) Stories cut across various subject areas
(C) Stories help in class management
(D) Stories provide contexts to relate EVS concepts
Correct Answer : C

Which of the following rotor will have the highest noise?
(A) Shaded pole motor
(B) Universal Motor
(C) capacitor motor
(D) All of the above will be equal
Correct Answer : C
Explanation :
Cylindrical rotors are used in high-speed alternators having speed between 1500 rpm to 3000 rpm and salient pole rotors are used in low-speed devices, from 100 rpm to 1500 rpm. Cylindrical type rotors are used in turbo-alternators and these are made up of solid steel forging to get high mechanical stress.
The release of water vapour from the leaves is:
(A) Evaporation
(B) Transpiration
(C) Frost
(D) Dew
Correct Answer : B
Explanation :
Evapotranspiration: What it is and why it's usefulOverall, this uptake of water at the roots, transport of water through plant tissues, and release of vapor by leaves is known as transpiration.
