3. Question
Recently, A Mesolithic period rock painting has been found at Orvakallu village in Guntur district, Andhra Pradesh. In this light consider the following statements.
1. The paintings were made with kaolin and ochre pigments.
2. Kaolinite is a pigment composed of clay, sand, and ferric oxide. Ochre is a soft, earthy, and usually white mineral produced by the chemical weathering of aluminium silicate minerals like feldspar.
How many of the statements is/are correct?
Correct
(a) Only one statement is correct
The paintings were made with “natural white kaolin and red ochre pigments”, Ochre is a pigment composed of clay, sand, and ferric oxide.
Kaolinite is a soft, earthy, and usually white mineral produced by the chemical weathering of aluminium silicate minerals like feldspar. (2nd statement is incorrect)

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
What are ‘planetesimals’ associated with theories of planet formations?
Correct
(a) They are formed by cohesion of small rounded bodies of condensed gas cloud with the matter around the core.
Development of planets:
(i) The stars are localized lumps of gas within a nebula. The gravitational force within the lumps leads to the formation of a core to the gas cloud and a huge rotating disc of gas and dust develops around the gas core.
(ii) In the next stage, the gas cloud starts getting condensed and the matter around the core develops into small rounded objects. These small-rounded objects by the process of cohesion develop into what is called planetesimals. Larger bodies start forming by collision, and gravitational attraction causes the material to stick together. Planetesimals are a large number of smaller bodies.
(iii) In the final stage, these large number of small planetesimals accrete to form a fewer large bodies in the form of planets.
