    • (B) CGS
    • (C) BTU
    • (D) kWh
    Check Answer

    Usually, gas bills are determined by the energy content of the gas used, not just its volume. The British Thermal Unit, or BTU, is a conventional heat energy unit that is frequently used in the energy sector, especially for natural gas pricing. Although some areas bill in kilowatt-hours (kWh) or cubic meters but, BTU (more especially, MMBtu) is still a common commercial system for petrol charges.

    A mobile phone sends and receives messages through:

    • (A) Sound waves
    • (B) Microwaves
    • (C) Ultraviolet rays

    • (B) Milligram per deciliter
    • (C) Parts per million

    • (B) Milligram per deciliter
    Explanation
    Blood sugar is often measured in milligram per deciliter (mg/dL). That means milligrams of glucose in every 100 mL of blood. A normal fasting level is usually between 70 and 100 mg/dL. Some countries use mmol/L instead. Still, mg/dL is common in clinics and tests. It is probably the go, to unit in most exams. Seems like it sticks around for now.

    As the temperature of ice rises, the ice melts and its density:

    • (A) Decreases
    • (B) Remains constant
    • (C) Increases
    • (D) Increases up to 10°C
    Check Answer
    • (C) Increases
    Explanation
  • When ice is heated and starts to thaw, it changes into water. Ice is less dense than liquid water because the molecules in it are arranged in a loose open crystal form. The melting process results in breaking of this structure and so the molecules become closer to each other.
  • Since the volume goes down while the mass stays the same, the density goes up. This explains the reason for ice to be floating on water, whereas the water formed after melting is denser than the ice.
