NPK fertilizers provide which three primary macronutrients to plants?
A. Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium
B. Nickel, Phosphorus, Potassium
C. Nitrogen, Potassium, Carbon
D. Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Calcium
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
NPK stands for Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K). These are the three primary macronutrients essential for plant growth. N promotes leafy growth, P aids root and flower development, and K improves overall health and disease resistance in crops.

Question #1
Rutherford used which particles in his gold foil experiment?
A. Alpha particles
B. Neutrons
C. Gamma rays
D. Beta particles

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Rutherford bombarded a thin gold foil with alpha particles. Most passed through, but some were deflected, leading to the nuclear model.

Question #2
Assertion (A): Leguminous plants do not require nitrogenous fertilizers. Reason (R): They have Rhizobium bacteria in their root nodules that fix atmospheric nitrogen.
A. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
B. A is true but R is false.
C. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
D. A is false but R is true.

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Leguminous plants (like peas, beans) have a symbiotic relationship with Rhizobium bacteria in their root nodules. These bacteria convert atmospheric N₂ into usable nitrogen compounds, fulfilling the plant's nitrogen needs. Thus, they generally do not need external nitrogenous fertilizers. Both statements are correct and R explains A.

Question #3
Which non-metal is a good conductor of electricity?
A. Graphite
B. Iodine
C. Sulphur
D. Phosphorus

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Graphite, an allotrope of carbon, is a good conductor of electricity. This is because each carbon atom is bonded to three others, leaving one free valence electron per atom that is delocalized and can move freely between the layers to conduct electricity, unlike diamond which is an insulator.
