Question 1
1 / -0

Which of the following is a non-renewable resource?

A
Tidal energy

B
Wind

C
Petroleum

D
Solar energy

Solution

A non-renewable resource does not renew itself at a sufficient rate for sustainable economic extraction in meaningful human time-frames. Earth minerals, metal ores, fossil fuels and groundwater in certain aquifers are all non-renewable resources.
In contrast, resources such as timber and wind (used to power energy conversion systems) are considered renewable resources.
Question 2
1 / -0

Which of the following measure can be taken to preserve natural resources?

A
Switch off electricity when not required

B
Car pooling

C
Preferring public transport instead of personal vehicle

D
All of these

Solution

Natural resources should be used wisely because most of them are exhaustible and cannot be replenished or take million years to replenish. People should also adopt carpooling to prevent excessive use of fuel and also protect from pollution. We should prefer public transport instead of personal vehicle. Also, everyone should switch off the electricity when it is not required.
Question 3
1 / -0

LPG is ______________________.

A
liquefied petroleum gas

B
liquefied paraffin gas

C
liquid petroleum gas

D
liquid paraffin gas

Solution

$$\text{LPG}$$ is short for liquefied petroleum gas and it is mainly used for cooking purposes.
Option $$A$$ is correct.
Question 4
1 / -0

Depletion of petrol can be controlled by:

A
using CNG

B
using LPG

C
using kerosene

D
None of above

Solution

Petrol is a limited resource and can be exhausted if not used wisely. Natural gas is stored under high pressure as CNG. CNG can be used as a fuel instead of petrol as it is less polluting. It is a cleaner fuel.
Question 5
1 / -0

________ is widely used as fuel in factories and thermal power stations.

A
Coke

B
Coal

C
Charcoal

D
Natural gas

Solution

In a fossil fuel power plant the chemical energy stored in fossil fuels such as coal, fuel oil, natural gas or oil shale and oxygen of the air is converted successively into thermal energy, mechanical energy and, finally electrical energy.
Each fossil fuel power plant is a complex, custom-designed system.
Generally, coal is used as a major fuel in mostly all the thermal power plants because it’s the most abundant fossil fuel, easily available at a relatively low cost.

For electric power generation; lignite coal is generally used. Bituminous coal is also used sometimes depending upon the availability.
Option B is correct.
Question 6
1 / -0

Petroleum is an important source for all of the following except:

A
natural gas

B
rubber

C
kerosene

D
gasoline

Solution

Rubber is a polymer that is obtained from the rubber tree and is not isolated during crude oil refining. So petroleum is an important source for all of the following except for rubber as propane, kerosene and gasoline are obtained during the refining of petroleum. Hence option B is correct.
Question 7
1 / -0

Coal found in deeper strata of earth is:

A
good

B
bad

C
can't say

D
both A and B

Solution

It has been seen that the deeper the coal found, the better quality it is. Because, the deeper we go, the temperature and pressure increases much and hence the quality of coal also increases.
Question 8
1 / -0

The process of conversion of dead vegetation into coal is termed as:

A
precipitation

B
refining

C
recycling

D
carbonization

Solution

Water released from clouds in the form of water, snow, etc, is termed precipitation.

Refining is the process of purifying a substance and recycling is the process of converting waste into useful substances.
Thus, options A, B, and C are incorrect.

Coal is mainly composed of carbon. Thus, the conversion of dead vegetation into coal is termed carbonization.
So option D is correct.
Question 9
1 / -0

Coal is formed from:

A
dead animals

B
dead vegetation

C
Both of the above

D
None of the above

Solution

Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:

The degradation of dead matter of vegetations in swamps under the geographical forces of heat and pressure over millions of years is called coal.

They are brownish-black or black combustible sedimentary rock.

Hence, the correct answer is option $$B$$.
Question 10
1 / -0

What is the main constituent of coal?

A
Hydrogen

B
Oxygen

C
Carbon

D
Nitrogen

Solution

Carbon is the main constituent of coal. Thus, coal is considered as an organic compound.
