Q:

Which statement fits the Frontier Ethic?

A) Recycle plastic B) Help those in need
C) He who has more toys wins D) Walk lightly on Earth
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) He who has more toys wins

Explanation:

Frontier Ethic is Spending Earth's assets at the cost of losing resource capital. A frontier ethic assumes that the earth has an unlimited supply of resources. It is the notion of disregarding the Earth for the benefit or gain of man.

If resources run out in one area, more can be found elsewhere or alternatively human ingenuity will find substitutes. This attitude sees humans as masters who manage the planet. It is completely Anthropocentric.

Q:

The ratio of present ages of Hema and Chinnu is 13:17. Four years ago the ratio of their ages was 11:15. What will be the ratio of their ages six years hence ?

A) 3 : 7 B) 7 : 9
C) 4 : 5 D) 1 : 3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 4 : 5

Explanation:

Let their present ages be 13x and 17x.
Then, 13x-4/17x-4 = 11/15.
Solving this, we get x = 2.
Required ratio = 13x2 + 6/17x2 + 6 = 32/40 = 4/5.

Q:

Resistance of human body in dry condition

A) 10 ohm B) 1000 ohm
C) 10000 ohm D) 100000 ohm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 100000 ohm

Explanation:

Under dry conditions, the resistance offered by the human body may be as high as 100,000(10^5) Ohms.

 

Depending on the person, a rough value for the internal resistance of the human body is 300-1,000 Ohms. The skin's resistance is much lower if it is wet or burnt/blistered.



There are a lot of factors involved and not every person has the same electrical resistance. For instance, men tend to have lower resistance than women.

Within the body, the tissues with the greatest resistance are bone and fat - nerves and muscle have the least resistance.
