Ice is floating on water in a beaker when the ice melts completely, the level of water in the beaker will be?
(A) will increase
(B) first increase then decrease
(C) will decrease
(D) will remain the same
Correct Answer : D
Explanation :
Therefore, when the ice melts its volume decreases but the volume of water will remain the same. Hence even after the ice melts, there will be no rise in the level of the water. So, the level of the water will remain unchanged.

What is the anti-particle of electrons?
(A) Positron
(B) Proton
(C) Alpha-Particle
(D) Beta-Patakal
Correct Answer : A
Explanation :
The positron is the antiparticle to the electron. The positron has the same rest mass (m0) as the electron but opposite charge, one positive elementary charge. In condensed matter, each positron annihilates with an electron yielding γ-rays in a very short time (10−10–10−9 s).
