Instruction: Arrange the following sentences in correct sequence (This question carries 5 mark)
Q 12.
Eratosthenes knew that in Syene, in Egypt, the Sun was directly overhead at the summer solstice,
while he estimated that the angle formed by a shadow cast by the Sun at Alexandria was 1/50th of a
circle.
The Earth's circumference was first determined around 240 BC by Eratosthenes.
He estimated the distance from Syene to Alexandria as 5,000 stades, and estimated the Earth's
circumference was 250,000 stades and a degree was 700 stades (implying a circumference of
252,000 stades.
Note that Eratosthenes could only measure the circumference of the Earth by assuming that the
distance to the Sun is so great that the rays of sunlight are essentially parallel.
Eratosthenes used rough estimates and round numbers, but depending on the length of the stadion,

his result is within a margin of between 2% and 20% of the actual meridional circumference, 40,008
kilometres (24,860 mi).

Instruction: Read the Passage Carefully and Answer the Questions
The process Vulcanization is a chemical process by which the physical properties of natural or synthetic rubber
are improved; finished rubber has higher tensile strength and resistance to swelling and abrasion, and is
elastic over a greater range of temperatures. In its simplest form, vulcanization is brought about by heating
rubber with sulfur.
The process was discovered in 1839 by the U.S. inventor Charles Goodyear, who also noted the important
function of certain additional substances in the process. Such a material, called an accelerator, causes
vulcanization to proceed more rapidly or at lower temperatures. The reactions between rubber and sulfur are
not fully understood, but in the product, the sulfur is not simply dissolved or dispersed in the rubber; it is
chemically combined, mostly in the form of cross-links, or bridges, between the long-chain molecules.
In modern practice, temperatures of about 140180 C are employed, and in addition to sulfur and
accelerators, carbon black or Zinc oxide is usually added, not merely as an extender, but to improve further
the qualities of the rubber. Anti-oxidants are also commonly included to retard deterioration caused by oxygen
and ozone. Certain synthetic rubbers are not vulcanized by sulfur but give satisfactory products upon similar
treatment with metal oxides or organic peroxides.
Q 13. According to the passage, what are included to stop the corrosion caused by oxygen?
Oxidants
Anti-oxidants
Ozone
None of these
Correct Answer : 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q 14. According to the passage, what does accelerator cause vulcanization to?
It causes vulcanization to proceed more rapidly
It causes vulcanization to proceed at lower temperatures
It causes vulcanization to proceed at higher temperatures
Both A and B are correct
Correct Answer : 4
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q 15. According to the passage, what are added as a modern practice for the improvement of the qualities of
rubber?
Zinc
Carbon black or Zinc Oxide
Synthetics
All the above

The most important application of thorium is the production of nuclear power either as metal, oxide or alloy
and even in several compounds during the U 233 production process. In the non-energetic uses, the
production of gas light mantle and the use of thorium metal for imparting strength to magnesium metal can be
included. Due to its low work function and high electron emissivity, thorium has found applications in a number
of gaseous discharge lamps, photoelectric cells (when ultraviolet sensitivity is required) and as emitter in
monochromatic X-ray tubes.
The oxide has been found useful in a variety of areas. Perhaps the most recent potentially large-scale
nonenergy use found for thorium oxide is as hardener of nickel for space and metallurgical industry. Thorium
oxide, when properly prepared, is quite active as a catalyst for many chemical processes, like oil fractionizing
and sulfuric acid preparation. Its stability at high temperatures allow the use as a coating element for melting
crucibles.
Hazards of thorium or its compounds may generally be classed into three types, namely, radiological, chemical
and combustion.
Q 18. What is the most useful application of Thorium?
use it for making alloys
use it to generate electricity
use it to generate nuclear power
use it to generate U 233
Correct Answer : 3
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q 19. Which of these is not a use for Thorium?

ultraviolet sensitivity
gas light mantle

both b and c
Correct Answer : 4
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q 20. Due to the low work function and high electron emission, Thorium has not found application
in a number of gaseous discharge lamps
photoelectric cells
as emitter in monochromatic X-ray tubes
as a generator of heat
Correct Answer : 4
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q 21. The oxide of Thorium is useful as all of these except

a catalyst
hardener of nickel
in the metallurgical industry
as a thinner for paints
Correct Answer : 4
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q 22. Which one of the hazards below is not due to Thorium?

Chemical
biological
radiological
combustion
Correct Answer : 2
