A) Lord Cunningham B) Lord Cliv
C) Lord Wellesley D) Lord Canning
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Lord Wellesley

Explanation:

The doctrine of the subsidiary alliance was introduced by Lord Wellesley, British Governor-General of India from 1798 to 1805.

The Nizam of Hyderabad was the first to enter into such an alliance in 1798. Tipu Sultan of Mysore refused to do so, but after the British victory in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War, Mysore was forced to become a subsidiary state in 1799.

The Nawab of Awadh was the next to accept the Subsidiary Alliance, in 1801.

Q:

Which formula represents a nonpolar molecule?

A) H2O B) CF4
C) HCl D) H2S
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) CF4

Explanation:

You have to consider three things.

1. First, are the bonds polar?

Look at differences in electronegativity and if  it is >0.5, bonds are polar.

 

2. Second, does the molecule have unshared electron pairs?

If so, they generally lead to a polar molecule.

 

3. Third, is the molecule symmetric?

If so, then although the bonds may be polar, the symmetry cancels out the individual bond polarity and the molecule is non polar.

CF4 follows all the rules above and has a symmetric distribution of charge, making it nonpolar. The others all have asymmetric charge distributions.

 

Hence, CF4 represents a Non-polar molecule.

Q:

A man stands in a lift which accelerates upwards. The resultant reaction force on the floor of the lift is 

A) greater than the weight of the man B) less than the weight of the man
C) Same as the weight of the man D) Zero
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) greater than the weight of the man

Explanation:

The weight of the man mg is acting on the floor. As the lift is moving up with an acceleration, say a, the man too in it is having this acceleration. The force producing this acceleration is ma. By Newton's third law, this force will have an equal reaction pressing the floor equal to ma. Therefore the total resultant reaction on the floor is mg+ma = m(g+a) which is mg, the weight of the man. So (a) is correct.

A) Longitudinal waves B) Transverse waves
C) Both A & B D) Neither of A & B
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Longitudinal waves

Explanation:

Compressions and Rarefactions are characteristic of Longitudinal waves.

The direction of vibration of the particles is in the same plane as in which the wave is propagating. The particles vibrate back and forth, about their mean positions.
