Sky appear blue due to the phenomenon of scattering of light. As we know that, the wavelength of blue colour is much smaller than that of red colour.

Plants use completely different strategies for excretion than those of animals. They can get rid of excess water by transpiration. For other wastes, plants use the fact that many of their tissues consist of dead cells, and that they can even lose some parts such as leaves. Many plant waste products are stored in cellular vacuoles. Waste products may be stored in leaves that fall off. Other waste products are stored as resins and gums, especially in old xylem. Plants also excrete some waste substances into the soil around them.

Introduction: This is a pertinent topic when the young children are becoming early victims of obesity. Most of the children in cities have got addicted to fat-saturated foods such as pizza, burger, and other fast foods which cause cholesterol. Eating balanced diet (i.e.) nutritious food is crucial if one wants to lead a healthy life style.

Balanced diet: Balanced food is not about having the right kind of foods alone, but eating them at the right time in the right proportions. Millets and nutritious food items are available in plenty even in rural areas.

Intake of liquids: Fluids are quite indispensable for the human body to lead a healthy life style. Scientists claim that 80% of the human body is filled with water. It is also a co-factor in many of the metabolic activities in the body leading to metabolic changes. At least two to three litres of water is essential for everyone. This can be achieved by restricting the intake of coffee and tea and consuming water as frequently as possible.

Fresh vegetables and fruits: Regular intake of fruits and vegetables will invariably avoid many health disorders. It is believed that a balanced diet must contain all five tastes (i.e.) bitter, pungent, sour, sweet and salt. The avoidance of processed or tinned food is good because processed foods are deprived of their nutritional values. Transfat substances in processed and junk foods is harmful to us.

How to eat: One must chew the food one consumes to ensure easy digestion. One must eat only what is required. Over eating will result in obesity and over weight. One can start diet as per the directions of one’s family doctor or dietician.

Conclusion: If one does not take balanced diet with green vegetables and fibre, one may have to spend a lot to recover the lost health.

Introduction: One learns a lot about the world and life during travels. One gets to meet new people and find new cultures. I had an opportunity to visit Daijeeling along with my uncle who is working . there.

Darjeeling, the Queen of hill stations: Daijeeling is a mesmerising hill station located in West Bengal. While travelling in the amazing toy train I was transported to heaven. The lush green hills, beautiful serene monasteries, tea plantations and the clouds that played hide and seek with the Sun really dazzled me.

I spoke to the natives. They understood Hindi and Bengali. Fortunately my uncle knew Bengali and he could translate what people said in English and Tamil which broke the barrier of language. There were frequent mild rainfalls which ran chills down my spine. I can never forget the travel in toy train from Jalpaiguri to Daijeeling. The tracks rise from sea level to 7500 ft in just about 70 km. In order to overcome the gradients, the train used zig zag reverses and loops. Batasia loop is the most famous loop with the figure of eight. As the train slowly went for seven hours, I could drink the beauty of nature and take in the fresh air of the green forests.

I went to Kangchenjunga the third highest mountain in the world with an altitude of 8586 metres above sea. I felt like standing on top of the World. Sunrise from the tiger hill was the most fascinating scenes I can never forget in my life.

Conclusion: I strongly recommend that all my friends must visit Daijeeling once in their life.

If the electron jumps from n₂ = 5 to n₁ = 1 

Then following transition possible

5 → 4, 5 → 3, 5 → 2,5 → 1

4 → 3, 4 → 2, 4 → 1

3 → 3, 3 → 1

2 → 1

Hence, 10 transitions are possible

Correct option is (3) Assertion is true and Reason is false

LiF is less soluble due to high value of lattice energy.

Li⁺ has small size and has very high hydration enthalpy.

Correct option (1) If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

Explanation:

Distance between consecutive fringe is independent of its number.

(a) Both assertion and reason are true, reason is correct explanation of assertion

Boric acid is a weak acid because it does not completely ionize in water or other aqueous solution. It is not able to release H⁺ ions on its own because firstly it receives hydroxide ions (OH^-) from water molecule in order to complete its octet and then it releases H⁺ ions.

Therefore, both the assertion and reason are true.

(b) A → (ii); B → (iii); C → (iv); D → (i)

(A) Micro organisms ⇒ Domestic sewage

(B) Plants nutrients ⇒ Chemical fertilizers

(C) Toxic Heavy metals ⇒ Chemical industry 

(D) Sediment ⇒ Strip mining

(D) Carbohydrate

(d) Chloramphenicol

Chloramphenicol is broad spectrum antibiotic

(2) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion. 

(2) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

(3)   ΔU = 0, ΔS > 0, ΔG < 0

(3) If assertion is true but reason is false.

b.  Clavate.

Correct option is (4) They have mesosome for respiration
