Which of the following letters will be seen with some change in a plane mirror?

  1. M

  2. T

  3. L

  4. W


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Reflection through a plane mirror causes lateral inversion to the image.

The letters, M, T and W are laterally symmetric. So, no change will be observed after these letters are reflected on a plane mirror. The letter, L is not laterally symmetric. So, it will undergo lateral inversion and the image will appear different from the object.

In the image formed by a plane mirror, the left of the object appears on the right and the right appears on the left. This is called lateral inversion.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Lateral inversion is a phenomenon in which the left side of object becomes right side of image and right side of object appears as left side of image.


Given statement is $True$.

While standing in front of a plane mirror, if you touch your ............ ear with the  right hand, it will be seen in the mirror that your right ear is touched with your ................ hand.

  1. Right, left

  2. Left, left

  3. Right, right

  4. Left, right


Correct Option: A,D
Explanation:

Right, Left or Left, Right both are correct,because thats the property of mirror.

A clock fixed on a wall shows time 04 : 25 : 37. Its image in a plane mirror shows :

  1. 07 : 30 : 33

  2. 07 : 43 : 32

  3. 07 : 35 : 22

  4. 43 : 27 : 36


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

After reflection,
Image of the hour hand will look like its pointing between 7 and 8.
Image of the minute hand will look like its pointing at 7.
Image of the hour hand will look like its pointing between 4 and 5.
So the time will appear to be $07 : 35 : 22$

Select the mismatched pair of organism and its mode of multiplication.

  1. Organism - Agave, Oxalis; Mode of multiplication - Bulbils

  2. Organism - Amoeba, Paramecium; Mode of multiplication - Binary fission

  3. Organism - Chlamydomonas, Ulothrix; Mode of multiplication - Sporangiospores

  4. Organism - Adiantum ; Mode of multiplication - Adventitious buds present at leaf tips


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Sporangiospores are non-motile spores produced inside the sporangia. They are generally dispersed by wind and germinate to produce new mycelium (e.g., Rhizopus, Mucor, etc.) In Chlamydomonas and Ulothrix, zoospores are formed.

So, the correct answer is 'Organism - Chlamydomonas, Ulothrix; Mode of multiplication - Sporangiospores'.

Vegetative propagation is the term used for

  1. Sexual reproduction in animals

  2. Sexual reproduction in plants

  3. Asexual reproduction in animals

  4. Asexual reproduction in plants


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Vegetative propagation (vegetative reproduction) is the formation of new plants from vegetative units such as buds, tubers, rhizomes, etc. This term is used for asexual reproduction in plants. Plants with reduced power of sexual reproduction, long dormant period of seed or poor viability are multiplied easily through vegetative propagation.
So, the correct answer is 'Asexual reproduction in plants'.
