Last Updated:

Built around the concept in “Which metal is liquid at room temperature?”, this bilingual General Science item checks whether a learner can connect a scientific term with its exact property, mechanism or function. The verified answer is Mercury.

AZinc
BCalcium
CSodium
DMercury
Correct Answer: MercuryYour Answer: D

Explanation

Option D, Mercury, matches the evidence in the stem. Mercury is the only common metal that remains liquid at room temperature. The alternatives Zinc, Calcium and Sodium are legitimate scientific terms, but each belongs to a different function, property, material or context.

Important Notes

  • Verified answer: Mercury; option D, zero-based index
  • Core scientific fact: Mercury is the only common metal that remains liquid at room temperature.
  • Distractors Zinc, Calcium, Sodium represent different scientific associations.
  • Revision pair: “Which metal is liquid at room temperature? — Mercury”.

What is General Science and which topics are important for competitive exams?

General Science covers basic concepts in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Earth Science. It is an important section in competitive exams like SSC CGL, UPSC Prelims, Railway NTPC, and Defence exams. Questions include scientific laws, inventions, human body systems, chemical reactions, and everyday science phenomena. NCERT Science books from Class 6 to 10 are recommended.

What are Newton's Laws of Motion?

Newton's Three Laws of Motion: 1) First Law (Law of Inertia) - An object remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force. 2) Second Law - Force equals mass times acceleration (F=ma). 3) Third Law - For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. These laws are fundamental to Physics and frequently asked in SSC CGL, Railway, and NDA exams.
