Question #1
Light year is unit of:
A. Distance
B. Time
C. Luminosity
D. Speed

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Light year: distance light travels in one year in vacuum ≈ 9.46×10¹⁵ m. Astronomical distance unit, not time. Memory aid: 'Light year = speed × time = distance'. Unit knowledge frequently tested in competitive exams to avoid common misconception about light year being time unit.

Question #2
The commercial unit of electrical energy is kWh. 1 kWh equals how many joules?
A. 3.6 × 10⁵ J
B. 3.6 × 10⁶ J
C. 3.6 × 10⁴ J
D. 3.6 × 10³ J

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
1 kWh = 1000 W × 3600 s = 3,600,000 J = 3.6 × 10⁶ J. This is a standard conversion. Power (watt) × time (hour) gives energy. 1 watt = 1 J/s. Remember this for electricity bills.

The value of universal gravitational constant G is
A. 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²
B. 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ dyne cm²/g²
C. 9.8 m/s²
D. Both A and C

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg² in SI, and 6.67 × 10⁻⁸ dyne cm²/g² in CGS. Both are correct. Important constant, measured by Cavendish. g is acceleration due to gravity, different.
