A lactometer measures MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A lactometer measures
A. Purity of milk
B. Temperature of milk
C. Viscosity of milk
D. Density of milk
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Lactometer is a type of hydrometer used to check purity of milk by measuring specific gravity. Adulteration with water lowers density. It doesn't measure temperature or viscosity directly.

A transformer has 400 primary turns and 100 secondary turns. If primary voltage is 220 V, secondary voltage is
A. 110 V
B. 440 V
C. 880 V
D. 55 V

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Vs/Vp = Ns/Np => Vs = 220 × (100/400) = 55 V. Step-down.

Which characteristic of a sound wave determines its pitch?
A. Frequency
B. Wavelength
C. Amplitude
D. Velocity

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The pitch of a sound is a subjective sensation that is determined primarily by the frequency of the sound wave. Higher frequency waves are perceived as high-pitched sounds (like a whistle), while lower frequency waves are perceived as low-pitched sounds (like a bass drum). Amplitude determines the loudness of the sound.

Question #3 Report Error
If a stone is tied to a string and whirled in a circle, and the string suddenly breaks, the stone will:
A. Move inwards towards the center.
B. Fly off tangentially to the circular path.
C. Fly outwards radially.
D. Fall straight down immediately due to gravity.

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
When the stone is moving in a circle, its velocity vector is always tangential to the circle. The string provides the necessary centripetal force directed towards the center. When the string breaks, this inward force ceases to exist. Due to inertia of direction (Newton's First Law), the stone continues to move along the tangent at the point where the string broke.
