Explanation:

Electricity is a produced by the continuous flow of charge. It requires medium to flow from one body to another. The substance through which it can pass are known as conductors and the substance through which it cannot pass are known as insulators. Water is good conductor while rubber is a bad conductor of electricity.

In order to avoid the electric shock, rubber slippers should be used as it is a good insulator.

Erythroblastosis foetalis is a disease in which

  1. adult has severe anaemia and jaundice

  2. foetus do not survive due to erythrocyte blast

  3. foetus is suffering from blood cancer

  4. foetus has severe anaemia and jaundice


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Erythroblastosis fetalis is a condition which arises when a female is rhesus negative and the mail is Rh positive.
It causes the death of the foetus within the womb or just after birth.
The child from such a couple inherits the Rh positive trait from the father. 
The Rh-positive red blood corpuscles of a foetus in the womb enter the blood of the mother where the development of Rh antibodies takes place as the mother's blood is rhesus negative it causes more harm to her. 
These antibodies along with the mother's blood on reaching the fetal circulation cause the clamping of fetal RBC. The first child is born normal because by that time the number of antibodies in mothers that remain lesser but they increase with successive pregnancy
So, the correct option is 'foetus has severe anaemia and jaundice'

Read the given statements and select the correct option. 


Statement  1: Traffic jams are likely to cause giddiness, exhaustion, reduced vision, etc.
Statement 2: Carbon monoxide from vehicles causes these problems by reducing $ { O } _{ 2 } $ -carrying capacity of hemoglobin.

  1. Both statements 1 and 2 are correct.

  2. Statement 1 is correct but statement 2 is incorrect.

  3. Statement 1 is incorrect bu statements 2 is correct.

  4. Both statements 1 and 2 are incorrect.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

50% of Carbon monoxide emissions are from automobiles. Normally CO has a brief residence in atmosphere and gets oxidized to co2. However, in congested and closed areas if proves quite harmful. Carbon monoxide combines with haemoglobin, produces carboxyhaemoglobin or COHb. At 50 ppm, CO converts 7.5% of haemoglobin into carboxyhemoglobin within 8 hours. It impairs oxygen transport resulting in giddiness, headache, decreased vision, cardiovascular malfunction, and asphyxia.

So, the correct answer is 'Both statements 1 and 2 are correct'

Among the following which one causes more indoor chemical pollution?

  1. Burning coal

  2. Burning cooking gas

  3. Burning mosquito coil

  4. Room spray

Explanation:
Among the given four options, both burning of coal and burning of mosquito coil will cause chemical pollution, but burning of coal will cause more pollution. The main ingredient in mosquito coils is pyrethrum C (a natural extract from the Chrysanthemum flower). At high doses, it is responsible for various respiratory disorders. The coal leads to release of a wide array of air pollutants $ \left( { CO } _{ x }{ SO } _{ x }{ NO } _{ x }\quad etc. \right) . $ Among these, CO is very dangerous, it interfer with breathing process. People are generally advised not to sleep with coal burning in the closed room.

  • So, the correct answer is 'Use of LPG gas'.

Asthma can be caused by

  1. Water pollution

  2. Soil erosion

  3. Air pollution

  4. Thermal pollution


Correct Option: C

  1. $80\%$

  2. $60\%$

  3. $50\%$

  4. $100\%$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Most of the automobiles have an environmental impact up to 80 to 90 percent., It is due to fuel consumption and emissions of air pollution and greenhouse gases that are said to drive global warming.

So, the correct option is '80%'.
