Q:

The base of an electric iron is brightly polished mainly

A) to make it smooth and frictionless B) to make it rust-proof

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) to reduce heat loss by radiation

Explanation:

Polished surfaces are poor radiators of heat. So loss of heat on that account is reduced and the electric iron remains hotter than otherwise.

Reading of a barometer going down is an indication of

A) Storm B) Rainfall
C) Snow D) Intense heat
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rainfall

Explanation:

Barometer is instrument which is used to measure to pressure. A slow downfall of reading suggests a low pressure area is passing in a nearby region, it may rains. If the reading is going down very fast then its an indication of storm (within 5-6 hours).
