Question 1
1 / -0

Which of the following natural resources is exhaustible?

A
Wind

B
Coal

C
Sunlight

D
Biomass

Solution

Coal is a natural resource. Coal is found in limited quantities and its amount is depleting. It cannot be replenished and therefore coal is an exhaustible natural resource.

The correct answer is B.
Question 2
1 / -0

Which of the following statements about fossil fuels is correct?

A
Only petroleum is prepared in the laboratory

B
Petrochemicals are products of coal and petroleum

C
Both coal and petroleum are prepared in the laboratory

D
Petrochemicals are products of petroleum and natural gas

Solution

Many substances are obtained from petroleum and natural gas. Some of these products are fertilizers, detergents, fibres, nylon, polythene etc. These products are together called petrochemicals.

The correct answer is D.

Question 3

1 / -0

Use the following information to answer the next question.

Consider the following statements regarding fossil fuels.

I Fossil fuels are the dead remains of living organisms that have been buried for a long time.

II Excessive use of fossil fuels causes global warming and a depletion of natural resources.

III Earthquakes occur as a result of burning fossil fuels.

Among the given statements,

only statement I is true

only statement III is true

statements I and II are true

statements II and III are true

Solution

Coal, petroleum, natural gas, etc. are fossil fuels. These are formed from the remains of dead organisms that were buried under the Earth’s crust over millions of years ago. Hence, statement I is correct.

Fossil fuels are exhaustible natural resources because these are found in limited amounts. Excess use of fossil fuels causes global warming and depletion of these resources. Hence, statement II is correct.

Earthquake is a natural phenomenon that is caused by the movement of tectonic plates under the Earth’s crust. It is not caused by excess use/burning of fossil fuels. Hence, statement III is incorrect.

The correct answer is C.

Question 4
1 / -0

Which alternative incorrectly classifies a natural resource on the basis of its availability?

A

Natural resource Classification

Wild life

Exhaustible

B

Natural resource Classification

Minerals
Exhaustible

C

Natural resource Classification

Petroleum Inexhaustible

D

Natural resource Classification

Wind
Inexhaustible

Solution

Petroleum is not an inexhaustible resource. The reserves of petroleum on Earth are limited; therefore it is an exhaustible resource.

The correct answer is C.
Question 5
1 / -0

Carbonization is a

A
fast process in which dead vegetation converts into coal

B
slow process in which dead vegetation converts into coal

C
fast process in which dead organisms of the sea get converted into petroleum

D
slow process in which dead organisms of the sea get converted into petroleum

Solution

The process through which coal is formed is called carbonization. It is a slow process during which the dead vegetation such as trees and plants are converted into coal under very high temperature and pressure.

The correct answer is B.

Question 6

1 / -0

Use the following information to answer the next question.

Consider the following statements related to petroleum.

I. It is formed from the remains of dead sea organisms.

II. It is formed from the remains of dead land organisms.

III. It is formed under low pressure and temperature.

Among the given statements,

only statement I is true

only statement III is true

both statements I and II are true

both statements II and III are true

Solution

Petroleum is obtained from dead organisms living under the sea. These organisms settle at the bottom of the sea. Over the course of time, many layers of sand got deposited over these dead organisms. Under conditions of high pressure and temperature, these got converted into petroleum.

The compression of organic matter comprising plants and other vegetation on land, under conditions of high pressure and temperature over a period of millions of years, led to the formation of coal.

Therefore, statement I is true while statements II and III are false.

The correct answer is A.

Question 7

1 / -0

Use the following information to answer the next question.

While preparing for her examination,

Gita lists the products that are obtained from coal tar. However, she accidentally includes a product that is obtained using coke, and not coal tar.

Dyes

Drugs

Paints

Steel

Perfumes

Plastic

Which product should not be a part of the given list?

Dye

Steel

Paint

Plastic

Solution

Coke, and not coal tar, is used in the manufacturing of steel.

The correct answer is B.

Question 8
1 / -0

Use the following information to answer the next question.

Inside the Earth, deposits of not only water, but also oil and gas are found.

The order in which the given substances will be found if a tunnel is drilled into the Earth is

A
gas, oil, water

B
water, gas, oil

C
oil, water, gas

D
gas, water, oil

Solution

Deposits of natural gas are found above the deposits of oil since gas is lighter than oil. Similarly, deposits of oil are found above the deposits of water because oil is lighter than water. If a tunnel is drilled into the Earth, then the deposits will be obtained in the order-gas, oil and water respectively.

The correct answer is A.
Question 9
1 / -0

Which alternative does not pair a component of petroleum with its use?

A

Petroleum component
Use

Petrol Motor fuel

B

Petroleum component
Use

Diesel Generator fuel

C

Petroleum component
Use

Bitumen Paints

D

Petroleum component
Use

Paraffin wax Road surfacing

Solution

Paraffin wax is a constituent of petroleum. It is used in the manufacturing of ointments, candles, petroleum jelly, etc. It is not used in the surfacing of roads. Bitumen, a petroleum constituent, is used in road surfacing.

The correct answer is D.
Question 10
1 / -0

Use the following information to answer the next question.

Petroleum is a mixture of various constituents such as diesel, petrol, gas, wax, etc.

The components of petroleum are separated by a process called

A
carbonization

B
winnowing

C
filtration

D
refining

Solution

Petroleum components are separated by the process of refining. This process is carried out in the petroleum refineries. In petroleum refineries, diesel, petrol, petroleum gas, paraffin wax, etc., are separated into different components.

The correct answer is D.
Question 11
1 / -0

Petroleum Conservation Research Association, under the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, does not encourage

A
driving at a very high speed

B
maintenance of vehicle by regularly servicing

C
maintaining correct levels of pressure in the tyres

D
switching off the vehicle engine at traffic intersections

Solution

The petroleum conservation research association (PCRA) of India is the prime body to issue advice that helps to conserve petrol/diesel. According to PCRA, driving at a very high speed consumes more fuel. Hence, driving at a moderate speed helps to conserve petrol/diesel.

The correct answer is A.
Question 12
1 / -0

Which of the following petroleum components is used as a solvent for dry cleaning?

A
Petrol

B
Kerosene

C
Paraffin wax

D
Lubricating oil

Solution

Petrol is not only used as a motor and aviation fuel but also as a solvent for dry cleaning.

The correct answer is A.
