The product of a number and its reciprocal is always equals to 1.

For Example : Let the number be 4.

Now, its reciprocal is 1/4

Hence, required product = 4 x 1/4 = 1.

Now, take the number as -15.

Then its reciprocal is -1/15

Required product = -15 x -1/15 = 1.

Hence, the product of a number and its reciprocal is 1.

A computer has two types of memory.

1. Non-volatile and

2. Volatile.

Volatile memory is computer memory that requires power to maintain the stored information.

* It is a temporary memeory which cannot contain information permanently.

Example :: RAM or Random Access Memory

Non-volatile memory is computer memory that can retain the stored information even when not powered.

* It is a permanent memory in which data is stored in permanently.

Examples :: Hard disc, ROM, Floppy discs, Magnetic tape,...

A pure solid and a pure liquid are definitely a single phase because they are so united, or homogeneous. This leads to a homogeneous mixture also being a single phase.

Hence, the option that cannot be considered a single phase is A. a heterogeneous mixture.

The distance around a circle is called as Circumference. And that in the case of square or rectangle it is called as Perimeter.

Colloids include gels, sols, and emulsions; the particles do not settle, and cannot be separated out by ordinary filtering or centrifuging like those in a suspension.

These Colloid substances consists of ultramicroscopic particles of one substance dispersed through another substance from which we cannot separate them.

Sugar water is not a colloid and it is a solution in which we can separate them.

The energy sources that are constantly being replenished, such as sunlight, wind, and water. This means that we can use them as much as we want, and we do not have to worry about them running out. Additionally, renewable energy sources are usually much more environmentally friendly than fossil fuels. Overall, they release very few chemicals, like carbon dioxide, that can harm the environment.


Most of this energy comes from fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas. These are nonrenewable energy sources, which means that if we use them all up, we can never get more during our lifetime. Fossil fuels also contribute greatly to global climate change by releasing carbon dioxide into the air when they are burned.

Oligopoly is market structure where a small number of large firms are there. Oligopolistic industries are characterized by a few dominant firms and substantial entry barriers.

let x be the correct answer and y be the wrong answer
so the total number of questions is (x + y) = 150.....(1)
=> 4x - 2y = 420.....(2)
By solving (1) & (2), we get
=> 6x = 720
hence x = 120
Therefore, number of correct answers are 120.
