HINTS AND SOLUTIONS
1. (D) : The pattern is, 9. (C) :
(47 + 98) × 5 = 145 × 5 = 725
(38 + 53) × 8 = 91 × 8 = 728
Similarly, (46 + 94) × 6 = 840
2. (D)
3. (A) : Words are arranged in reverse order in their 10. (B) :
code.
4. (B) : Number of circles in pattern 1 = 9
Number of circles in pattern 2 = 12 = 9 + 3
Number of circles in pattern 3 = 15 = 12 + 3
Number of circles in pattern 4 = 18 = 15 + 3 Number of cubes in layer 1 = 6
Number of cubes in layer 2 = 10
So, number of circles in pattern 5 = 18 + 3 = 21
Number of cubes in layer 3 = 12
Number of circles in pattern 6 = 21 + 3 = 24
Total number of cubes = 6 + 10 + 12 = 28
Number of circles in pattern 7 = 24 + 3 = 27
11. (B) : When water is heated, it changes into water
Number of circles in pattern 8 = 27 + 3 = 30 vapour. This happens because on heating the
molecules of water start moving faster. They become
gas in which the molecules can move much more
freely.
5. (A) : 12. (D) : Topsoil is the uppermost layer of soil which
contains a lot of humus (organic matter), air, water
and fine particles of sand and clay. It is fertile and
provides necessary nutrients for the growth of plants.
6. (C) : According to question, order from the heaviest 13. (C) : Seeds of Xanthium possess spines. They stick
to the lightest is; to the skin of animals or clothes of humans and get
S, Q, P, R dispersed to distant places.
So, S is the heaviest among them. 14. (B) : Sunflower, mustard and soyabean are the
plants that yield oil. Sugarcane yields sugar ; cotton,
7. (B) :
jute and hemp are the fibre crops, which yield fibres.
15. (A)
16. (A) : Levers in which fulcrum is located between
the load and the effort are called first-class levers.
In the given options, option (A) represents a
hammer, which is a first class lever. Bottle opener
is an example of second-class lever. A pair of tongs
and a stapler are examples of third-class levers.
Number of students between Arav and Dhruv 17. (B)
= 35 – (14 + 11 + 2) = 8 18. (C) : In group A, pine and fern are non-flowering
8. (A) plants whereas Hibiscus is a flowering plant.

 In group B, seeds of cotton and dandelion are
dispersed through wind whereas those of pea are
dispersed by explosion. In group C, both frog and
salamander are amphibians whereas crocodile is a
reptile. Therefore, crocodile is ‘odd one out’ in this
group. In group D, bat and dolphin are mammals
whereas shark is a fish.
19. (C) : Seeds of given plants i.e. dandelion and maple
are dispersed by air. Seeds of dandelion have fine,
long hair and seeds of maple have wings. These
features help the seeds to be easily carried away
by wind.
20. (B)
21. (D) : Siberian cranes nest in Western Siberia and
migrate to India in winters. Their migration route
streches to about 6450 km. Arctic terns migrate
from Arctic region to Antarctic region and travel a
distance of nearly 35,000 km per year. This is
considered to be the longest migration among birds.
Monarch butterflies fly from Canada to Mexico.
22. (C)
23. (C) : The Moon revolves around the Earth. It also
rotates on its axis, completing one rotation
approximately every 28 days. The Earth also
revolves around the Sun. These all movements result
in illumination of different sides of the Moon at
different times. This is called phases of Moon. We
can see only that part of the Moon which reflects
the light of the Sun.
Day 1 (New Moon) : When the side of the Moon
facing the Earth reflects no sunlight, we cannot see
the Moon.
Day 3 (Crescent Moon) : When a small portion of
the Moon can be seen.
Day 7 (Half Moon) : When half of the Moon can be
seen.
Day 10 (Gibbous Moon) : When we can see three-
quarters of the Moon.
Day 14 (Full Moon) : When the entire side of the
Moon facing the Earth gets sunlight, we can see
the Full Moon.
The phases reverse after this. Thus, if a New Moon
is seen on March 15, then the Full Moon is expected
to be seen around March 28 i.e., on about 14th night
after seeing the New Moon.
24. (B) : A hinge joint is like the hinges in a door. It
can move the bones only in one direction. The
elbows, knees, fingers and toes have hinge joints.
25. (D) : Metamorphic rocks are formed due to
physical and chemical changes in igneous,
sedimentary or older m etamorphic r ock s
themselves. These changes occur due to heat and
2 Class-5 | Level-1 | Set-6
pressure. Marble, slate, gneiss and quartzite are
the examples of metamorphic rocks.G r a n i t e ,
pumice, basalt and obsidian are igneous rocks.
Sandstone, conglomerate, shale and limestone are
the sedimentary rocks.
26. (C) : Levers in which the effort is located between
the fulcrum and the load are called third-class levers.
A stapler, a pair of tongs, and a fishing rod are
examples of third-class levers.
27. (A) 28. (D)
29. (B) : Ligaments are the strong tissues which hold
together two bones at the joints. Tendons are the
strong tissues that join muscles to the bones.
30. (C) : When different animals living in the same
habitat eat the same kind of food, competition
increases among them which adversely affects the
population of animals. Due to severe competition,
number of animals start decreasing. Thus graph
(C) is correct which shows first an increase in the
animal population followed by a decrease in the
population.
31. (B) : Measles is a viral disease but tuberculosis
and plague are bacterial diseases.
32. (A) : In case of a fracture, take a piece of
cardboard or wood, or a pillow and tie it around the
injured part. This will act as a splint and will prevent
movement of the bone. Then, take the patient to a
doctor immediately.
33. (B) : When the Sun, the Moon and the Earth are
in a straight line, then the Moon blocks the sunlight
reaching the Earth and casts its shadow on the
Earth. This is called a solar eclipse. When the Moon
completely hides the Sun, it is a total solar eclipse.
When it hides the Sun only partially, it is a partial
solar eclipse.
34. (A) : Refer to answer 25.
35. (C) : Absorption is the process by which nutrients
pass from the alimentary canal into the blood. About
90% absorption of all the nutrients occurs in small
intestine. In the given figure, L represents stomach,
M represents large intestine, N represents small
intestine and O represents rectum.
36. (D) : Organ P is liver, which is the largest gland in
human body and it helps in digestion of food
especially fats.
37. (C) : As the fruit shown in the figure has fleshy
edible parts, therefore they are eaten by animals
and the indigestible seeds are passed out in the
faeces.
38. (C) : Statement (C) is incorrect because the Moon
does not have any atmosphere.
39. (B) : W ind turbine converts wind energy to
electrical energy.
A television converts electrical energy to light energy,
sound energy and heat energy.
An aeroplane converts chemical energy to kinetic
energy and sound energy.
A hair dryer converts electrical energy to heat energy
and sound energy.
40. (C) : Distilled water (i.e. water purified by
distillation) is not used for drinking, because it does
not contain any minerals required by the body.
41. (C) 42. (D)
43. (C) : Bedrock is the lowermost layer of soil, having
large pieces of rock. There are negligible nutrients
or water in this layer. Top soil is rich in organic
matter and nutrients.
44. (A)
45. (A) : Whales and dolphins are mammals, which
give birth to young ones.
46. (B) : In thermal power stations, chemical energy
of coal is converted into heat energy (by burning of
coal), which in turn is converted into mechanical
energy (kinetic energy) of water, which is ultimately
converted into electrical energy by rotating the
turbines and generators.

47. (A) : L and M can be evaporation and distillation,
which are used to separate the soluble impurities
e.g. salt solution and sugar solution.
N can be filtration which is used to separate insoluble
impurities such as mixture of soil and water.
48. (B) : In the given flow chart, W can be frog as its
body is not covered with scales. X can be crocodile
because its body is covered with scales and it
respires through lungs (not through gills).
A fish fits into the category of Y as its body is
covered with scales, it respires through gills and it
possesses fins.
49. (D) : The sensory nerves pass a message to the
spinal cord that the object is hot. This message is
not passed onto the brain as it would take a little
more time. Instead, the spinal cord sends back a
message through motor neurons to the hand to
withdraw itself immediately.
50. (C) : Air, water (moisture) and warmth are the
conditions necessary for germination. But here, in
trough, substance X absorbs moisture from the air.
So, roots of the seedlings will not grow.
