A
Correct answer
Explanation
Pasteurization is a heat-treatment process used to kill harmful bacteria in milk. The standard low-temperature long-time (LTLT) method involves heating milk to 63 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes.

C
Correct answer
Explanation
The average normal body temperature for a human is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, which is commonly rounded to 98.4 degrees in many textbooks.
-
the starting point of any scale of temperature
-
the lowest temperature that is theoretically possible
-
the temperature at which vapour of all liquid substances freeze
-
the temperature at which all substances exist in the vapour phase
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Absolute zero is defined as 0 Kelvin, the theoretical temperature at which all molecular motion ceases.

None of these
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Water absorption by roots is an active process that depends on metabolic activity. Temperatures between 20 and 35 degrees Celsius are generally optimal for root metabolism and water uptake.
-

10 - 20ºC
-
None of these
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Chilling treatment for breaking seed dormancy is typically conducted at low temperatures, generally in the range of 0 to 5 degrees Celsius.
-
67.5 degrees
-
75 degrees
-
62.5 degrees
-
82.5 degrees
D
Correct answer
Explanation
The Indian Standard Time (IST) is based on the longitude of 82.5 degrees East, which is 5 hours and 30 minutes ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Absolute zero temperature is the temperature at which their is no more heat in a system and no more heat can be removed. This corresponds to the kelvin temperature of 0 degrees Kelvin and -273 degrees Celsius. A absolute zero temperature is the temperature where molecular kinetic energy is minimal. Absolute zero of temperature cannot be reached according to the Law of Thermo dynamics which says that the thermodynamic system would need to be fully removed from the rest of the universe to reach absolute zero.

3000°C
-
None of these
A
Correct answer
Explanation
While estimates vary, the core temperature is significantly higher than 2000C (often estimated at 5000-6000C). Given the options, 2000C is the closest provided value, though technically inaccurate.
-
Fever refers to an elevation in body temperature.
-
Normal body temperature is 98.6 F (37 C).
-
Most fevers are caused by infection.
-
All of the above
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Fever is indeed an elevation in body temperature, the standard normal temperature is approximately 98.6 F, and most fevers are the body's response to an underlying infection.
-
40 degree Fahrenheit
-
45 degree Fahrenheit
-
35 degree Fahrenheit
-
50 degree Fahrenheit
A
Correct answer
Explanation
A standard refrigerator is typically set to maintain a temperature of approximately 35 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure food safety and preservation.
-
98 degree Celsius
-
40 degree Celsius
-
-40 degree Celsius
-
100 degree Celsius
C
Correct answer
Explanation
The conversion formula is F = (9/5)C + 32. Setting F = C, we get C = (9/5)C + 32, which simplifies to -4/5 C = 32, resulting in C = -40.

-
none of these
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Water absorption by roots is an active process influenced by metabolic activity, which is optimal at moderate temperatures, typically between 20 and 35 degrees Celsius.
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Butadiene and styrene form a completely compatible random copolymer.
Therefore, the following relation is applicable:
Tg = V1Tg1 + V2Tg2.
Assume 1= polybutadiene
2 = polystyrene
Tg1 = -80° C; Tg2 = 100° C
Tg = 0.80 (-80) + 0.20 (100) = - 64 + 20 = - 44° C

-
24.7°C
-
none of these
A
Correct answer
Explanation
The average surface temperature of the world's oceans is approximately 17 degrees Celsius, but 26.7 degrees Celsius is often cited in specific educational contexts regarding tropical surface waters.
