Q1. Melting of candle wax on heating
explanation:
- Changes in substances are of two types: physical and chemical.
- In a physical change, no new substance is formed (only shape or state changes).
- When candle wax is heated, it changes from solid to liquid.
- The substance is still wax — nothing new is formed.
- This change can also be reversed by cooling (liquid → solid).
Conclusion:
Melting of wax is a physical change, so it does NOT involve a chemical reaction.
Q2. Virtual and erect
explanation:

- A plane mirror reflects light to form an image.
- The image appears behind the mirror, but light does not actually come from there.
- Such an image is called virtual (cannot be caught on a screen).
- The image is also upright (erect), not upside down.
- Additionally, it is the same size as the object and shows left-right reversal (lateral inversion).
Conclusion:
A plane mirror always forms a virtual and erect image.
Q3. Al₂O₃ (Aluminium oxide)
explanation:

- Oxides are classified as acidic, basic, or amphoteric.
- Amphoteric oxides can react with both acids and bases.
- Aluminium oxide (Al₂O₃) shows this special property.
- Example:
- With acid → behaves like a base
- With base → behaves like an acid
Conclusion:
Al₂O₃ is an amphoteric oxide because it reacts with both acids and bases.
Q4. All of the above
explanation:
- Autotrophic nutrition means organisms make their own food.
- Plants prepare food by the process of photosynthesis.
- For this process, they need:
- Carbon dioxide (from air)
- Water (from soil)
- Chlorophyll (green pigment in leaves)
- Sunlight (energy source)
- All these factors work together to produce food (glucose).
Conclusion:
All given options are required, so the correct answer is All of the above.
Q5. Nervous and endocrine systems
explanation:
- The body needs control systems to manage activities like movement, growth, and digestion.
- The nervous system works through nerves and gives quick responses (like touching a hot object).
- The Endocrine system works through hormones and gives slow but long-lasting effects (like growth, puberty).
- Both systems coordinate and regulate all life processes together.
Conclusion:
Human life processes are controlled by both nervous and endocrine systems.
