Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Perigee

Explanation:

When moon's orbit is closest to earth is called as Perigee.

The distance between the Moon and Earth varies throughout the month and the year since the moon's orbit around the earth is elliptical. The distance is about 382,900 kilometers from the Moon's center to the center of Earth.

 

Hence, the point on the Moon's orbit closest to Earth is called the perigee.

C) 56.31 gm/mol D) 59.14 gm/mol

To get the mass of a mole of NaCl, we need to add the molar atomic weights of the individual elements i.e, Na and Cl

Atomic weights of Na = 22.99 gm/mol  Cl = 35.45 gm/mol

 

Now, mass of a mole of NaCl = 22.99 + 35.45 = 58.44 gm/mol.

Q:

A passage is given with 5 questions following it. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.


I had seen this road many years ago when my parents moved to Mundakotukurussi, our ancestral village. However, in those early years, I hadn't begun exploring the countryside. I stored the unknown road in my head under 'One Day I Will'. Ten years ago, when I recovered from a herniated disc, it was to discover that I had a useless left leg. Though I managed to lose the limp, I hated not being able to stride around as I used to. I needed a challenge to tell myself that I wasn't going to buckle to a creature called sciatica. Thus the 'One Day I Will' arrived. "Where does the road by the medical shop lead to?" I asked my parents while visiting them next. "Chalavara," they said. "It's not an easy road to walk on," my father added. "There are too many ups and downs." Chalavara was a superior grade of a village as compared to Mundakotukurussi, with a high school, a fine library, ATMs and several shops. But it also has two approach roads. The one I had chosen was a narrow back road used by the locals and that settled it for me. I needed to know for myself I could walk a road that wasn't going to be easy. And the next day, I would get up and walk that road again.

 

What makes Chalavara better than Mundakotukurussi?

A) It has a high school, a fine library, ATMs and several shops B) It is the place where the writer's ancestors were born
C) It is the place where the writer went to school D) It is the place where the writer would walk when he was young
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) It has a high school, a fine library, ATMs and several shops
