A: Kerosene Oil spreads out over water surface
R: Surface tension is a surface phenomenon
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
A is true but R is false
Option C is correct. Kerosene oil spreads on water due to lower surface tension, but surface tension itself is a bulk phenomenon, not just a surface one.

If two soap bubble of different radii are connected by a tube
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Air flows from the smaller bubble to the bigger

Statement-A: Mosquitos are killed (which are present in water) when kerosene is sprayed on water surface in tanks or ponds.
Statement-B: Kerosene is very harmful for mosquitoes.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Statement A is true and statement B is false
Option B (Statement A is true and statement B is false) is correct because kerosene kills mosquitoes by cutting off their air supply, not because it is harmful to them directly.

A\mathbf{A} : An iron needle placed carefully on the surface of water may float, whereas a solid ball of same material will always sink

R\mathbf{R} : The buoyancy on an object depends both on the material and shape of object.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
(A) is true, (R) is false
Assertion A is true due to surface tension, but Reason R is false because buoyancy depends on the volume of the object and the density of the fluid, not the material of the object itself.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Bernoulli’s theorem
Option D is correct because scent sprayers utilize the principle of Bernoulli's theorem, where increased air velocity causes a pressure drop, drawing the scent up.

Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct?

I. An ice ball is floating in water. Some stone pieces are embedded inside the ice. When ice will melt, level of water will fall.

II. In floating condition, stone pieces will displace more liquid compared to the condition when they sink.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Both I and II
Option C is correct because both statements are correct regarding the water level change and the displacement of liquid by the stone pieces.
