For question numbers 11 to 13, two statements are given- one labelled Assertion (A) and
the other labelled Reason (R).
Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) as given
below -
a)Both A and R are true and R is correct explanation of the assertion.
b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
c) A is true but R is false.
d) A is false but R is true
2. Assertion (A): The standard system of unit is called the SI system.
Reason (R): The SI unit of length is a kilometre.
3. Assertion (A): Motion of blades of fan is an example of circular motion.
Reason (R): When a body moves along a circular path, it is said to be in circular motion.
4. Assertion (A): The length of the space between two points is called distance.
Reason (R): If a body moves from its position, then it is said to be in motion.

II. PASSAGE BASED QUESTIONS:
For the sake of uniformity, scientists all over the world have accepted a set of standard
units of measurement. The system of units now used is known as the International System
of Units (SI units). The SI unit of length is a metre. Each metre (m) is divided into 100
equal divisions, called centimetre (cm). Each centimetre has ten equal divisions, called
millimetre (mm). Thus, 1 m = 100 cm, 1 cm = 10 mm. For measuring large distances, metre
is not a convenient unit. We define a larger unit of length. It is called kilometre (km).
1 km = 1000 m.
1. What is the system used for measurements nowadays?
2. Arrange the following lengths in their increasing
magnitude: 1 metre, 1 centimetre, 1 kilometre, 1 millimetre.
3. Name the SI unit of length.
4. What is the need for a standard unit for measurements?
III. CASE STUDY BASED QUESTIONS:
1. Samidha moves on a straight road from point A to point C. She takes 20 minutes to cover a
certain distance AB and 30 minutes to cover the rest of distance BC. She then turns back and
takes 30 minutes to cover the distance CB and 20 minutes to cover the rest of the distance to her
starting point. She makes 5 rounds on the road the same way. Samidha concludes that her motion
is -
a) only rectilinear motion. b) only periodic motion.
c) neither rectilinear nor periodic d) rectilinear and periodic both
2. Four pieces of wooden sticks A, B, C and D are placed along the length of 30 cm long scale
as shown in Fig. 10.4. Which one of them is 3.4 cm in length?
a) A b) B
c) C d) D
3. Bholu and Golu are playing in a ground. They start running from the same point A in the ground
and reach point B at the same time by following the paths marked
1 and 2 respectively as shown in Fig. Which of the following
is/are true for the given situation?
As compared to Golu, Bholu covers a -
a) longer distance but with a lower speed.
b) longer distance with a higher speed.
c) shorter distance with a lower speed.
d) shorter distance with a higher speed.
4. In the following figure, the proper way of reading scale is –
a) C
b) B
c) A
d) Both (a) and (b)
