Solutions
S1. Ans.(a)
Sol. Bodies that do not own their own heat and light, but are lit by the light of the stars are known as Planets.
S2. Ans.(a)
Sol. The stratosphere is the second major layer of Earth’s atmosphere, just above the troposphere and below the mesosphere. It is stratified in temperature, with warmer layers higher up and cooler layers farther down. This is in contrast to the troposphere near the Earth’s surface, which is cooler higher up and warmer farther down. Commercial airliners typically cruise at altitudes of 9-12 km (30000-39000 ft) in temperate latitudes in the lower reaches of the stratosphere).
S3. Ans.(a)
Sol. Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the deposition of material at the Earth’s surface and within bodies of water.
S4. Ans.(d)
Sol. Industrial region or industrial area refers to a region with extremely dense industry. It is usually heavily urbanised.
S5. Ans.(d)
Sol. Tropical evergreen forests are usually found in areas receiving more than 200 cm of rainfall and having a temperature of 15°C to 30°C. They occupy about % of the Earth’s land surface and harbour more than half of the world’s plants and animals. Found mostly near the equator, these tropical forests are dense, multi-layered and harbour many types of plants and animals. The trees are evergreen as there is no period of drought or frost. They are mostly tall hardwood trees with broad leaves that release excess water through transpiration.

S10. Ans.(c)
Sol. Indian Standard Time is calculated on the basis of 82.5° or 82°30° E longitude, from a clock tower in Mirzapur (25.15°N 82.58°E) (near Allahabad in the state of Uttar Pradesh) which is nearly on the corresponding longitude reference line.
