HINTS AND SOLUTIONS
1. (D) : Leaves are known as the food factories of a
plant. Mangroves have breathing roots that grow
above the soil. All green plants make their food
using carbon dioxide and water in the presence
of sunlight.
2. (C) : Roots absorb minerals from the soil.
3. (D)
4. (A) : Organisms which eat only plants (producers)
are called primary consumers. There are six
primary consumers in the given food web:
Rabbit, Mouse, Sparrow, Grasshopper, Butterfly
and Greenfly.
5. (A) : P-Camel : A mammal having hair and giving
birth to young ones.
Q-Spiny anteater : A mammal having hair but
lays eggs.
R-Guppy : A fish which gives birth to young ones.
S-Penguin : A bird which lays eggs.
6. (B) : Lungfish goes to sleep for a long time in the
summer months to avoid extreme heat. This is
known as aestivation.
7. (C) 19. (C) : X is a gas, Y is a liquid and Z is a solid.
8. (D) : Food items rich in proteins are called body-
building food. There are six body building food
hidden in the word grid which are as follows:
(i) Pulses (ii) Egg (iii) Fish
(iv) Meat (v) Milk (vi) Cheese
9. (C) : Protein rich food helps in repairing the
damaged parts of the body. Food Y is rich in fats.
10. (D) : Food X rich in protein and calcium will help
Rohit to improve his condition.
11. (A) : d - Oesophagus
e - Stomach
f - Large intestine
g - Small intestine
h - Anus
i - Liver
Food is mixed with various digestive juices in
stomach and small intestine (e and g). Nutrients
are absorbed through the walls of small intestine by

blood. Large intestine absorbs water and minerals
from the food and forms faeces.
12. (D)
13. (D) : The nurses wear uniform to display a
unified, professional look to patients. All silk
clothes should be washed with gentle soap or
can be dry-cleaned.
14. (C) : Dark coloured clothes keep our body warm
by absorbing heat. Tight clothes, do not let in
cold air are therefore worn during winters.
15. (A) : Puri is fried.
16. (C) : All living and non-living things having weight
and occupying space are called matter. Every
matter does not have fixed volume as gases
have no definite volume.
17. (A)
18. (B) : Styrofoam beads are lighter than water
so they will not settle down at bottom. Hence,
to separate beads from water, filter paper is
required (filtration). Heating the water will cause
melting of beads.
When temperature is lowered, a gas first changes
into a liquid and then into a solid.
20. (A) : Ice-cube will change from solid to liquid
state due to the heat of hot water present in the
glass.
21. (C)
22. (A) : More steep the inclined plane, more is the
effort required to pull an object up that inclined
plane.
23. (C) : Force of gravity depends on the weight of
an object.
24. (B) : Production of heat by rubbing palms together
is an advantage of frictional force.
25. (B)
26. (C) : Oxygen supports combustion or burning.
Forests help in maintaining the water cycle.
Jaundice and dysentery are water borne
diseases.

represents the following energies :
28. (A) : The process in which water is gently poured
P - Chemical energy
after sedimentation is called decantation.
29. (A) : Biodegradable wastes can be recycled as Q - Kinetic energy
manure. Manures are environment friendly and R - Potential energy
do not cause soil pollution.
S - Heat energy
30. (B) : In the given question. Column I contains
T - Sound energy
1. Earth 2. Venus
3. Uranus 4. Mercury Sound energy (T) does not opposes motion and
