Answer : B

Question. Which component of the mixture will fall near the platform used for winnowing?
(a) Sand
(b) Dried leaves
(c) Both of these
(d) None of these
Answer : A

Passage-2
You are asked to add two spoons of solid salt to some liquid water taken in a beaker.

Assertion/ Reason Based Questions

DIRECTIONS : The questions in this segment consists of two statements, one labelled as “Assertion A” and the other labelled as “Reason R”. You are to examine these two statements carefully and decide if the Assertion A and Reason R are individually true and if so, whether the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion. Select one of the current options (a), (b), (c) and (d) given below in each questions.
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.

Question. Assertion (A) : The process of settling of heavier insoluble particles from a suspension of a substance in water known as decantation.
Reason (R) : This process along with sedimentation is used to get clear water from muddy water.
Answer : C

Question. Assertion (A) : The process of conversion of liquid water to its vapours by heating the liquid is called evaporation.
Reason (R) : The process of conversion of water vapours to liquid by cooling the vapours is called condensation.
Answer : B

Statement Based Questions

Directions : Read the following two statements carefully and choose the correct option.
(a) Statement (i) is correct while statement (ii) is incorrect.
(b) Statement (ii) is correct while statement (i) is incorrect.
(c) Both statements are correct.
(d) Both statements are incorrect.

Question. (i) A mixture of sand and salt is partly soluble in water.
(ii) The process of threshing is used to separate grains from stalks.
Answer : C

Question. (i) If the solid dissolve in liquid, then decantation process can be used to separate them.
(ii) Oil and water solution can be separated by decantation.
Answer : B

Question. (i) A solution that is capable of dissolving more of solute at the given temperature is known as saturated solution.
(ii) A saturated solution on heating becomes unsaturated solution.
Answer : B
