Which of the following statement is wrong ? (a) Voltmeter has high resistance and is connected in parallel (b) Ammeter has low resistance and is connected in series (c) Ammeter has low resistance and is connected in parallel (d) None of these

Answer»

Correct option (c) Ammeter has low resistance and is connected in parallel

Explanation:

A voltmeter is an instrument used to measure the potential difference between two points and is connected in parallel. Moreover, the resistance of an ideal voltmeter is high. On the other hand, ammeter measures current, so, it is connected in series. The resistance of an ideal ammeter is zero. Hence, option (c) is wrong

Which one of the two sentences given below is wrong on the basis of the underlined words :  1. He is a very "ingenuous" businessman.  2. I like him for his "Ingenious" nature. (A) Sentence 1 is correct (B) Sentence 2 is correct (C) Both the sentences can be made correct by interchanging the underlined words. (D) Both the sentences can not be interchanged hence, both are wrong. 

Answer»

Correct option (C) Both the sentences can be made correct by interchanging the underlined words.

Explanation:

Sentence 1 is correct : 

 This option is wrong because the word 'ingenuous' means 'frank and simple' which is inappropriate. Sentence 

2 is correct : This option is also wrong because the word 'ingenious' means 'clever or prudent' and this is inappropriate. Both the words, i.e. 'ingenuous' and 'ingenious' if interchanged together respectively, it really makes both the sentences meaningful. Hence, appropriate option. 

Both the sentences can't be interchanged.
