SSC CGL Chemistry Questions and Answers – Page 11

B — Mars — is correct. Mars is the Red Planet Option A (“Earth”) is incorrect because it does not satisfy the chemical formula, reaction, periodic trend, numerical relation, oxidation state or definition required by the question. Option C (“Jupiter”) is incorrect because it does not satisfy the chemical formula, reaction, periodic trend, numerical relation, oxidation state or definition required by the question. Option D (“Venus”) is incorrect because it does not satisfy the chemical formula, reaction, periodic trend, numerical relation, oxidation state or definition required by the question. The answer field, correct index and explanation therefore all identify Mars. Mars is the Red Planet

answer: Option B — 4 — is correct. 2+2 = 4 Option A (“3”) is incorrect because it does not satisfy the chemical formula, reaction, periodic trend, numerical relation, oxidation state or definition required by the question. Option C (“5”) is incorrect because it does not satisfy the chemical formula, reaction, periodic trend, numerical relation, oxidation state or definition required by the question. Option D (“6”) is incorrect because it does not satisfy the chemical formula, reaction, periodic trend, numerical relation, oxidation state or definition required by the question. Identify the governing formula, definition or reaction and apply it consistently. The answer field, correct index and explanation therefore all identify 4.2+2 = 4
