Read the given statements and select the correct option.
Statement 1 : The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is only one sixth that on the earth. If the earth and moon are assumed to have same density, then the ratio of the radii of moon and earth will be 1:√6.
Statement 2 : Acceleration due to gravity does not depend upon the density of material.

ABoth statements 1 and 2 are true and statement 2 is the correct explanation of statement 1.
BBoth statements 1 and 2 are true but statement 2 is not the correct explanation of statement 1.
CStatement 1 is true but statement 2 is false.
DBoth statements 1 and 2 are false.

(i) Temperature of the environment.
(ii) Pitch of the gunshot.
(iii) Wind blowing from the gunner to the observer.
(iv) Loudness of the gunshot.
(v) Wind blowing from the observer to the gunner.
(vi) Quality of sound by gunshot.

Sunidhi could see a pointed beam of light on settingup an experiment as shown here. She used sheets P, Q and R made of three different materials respectively. She noticed that when she replaced the sheet P with a sheet made of the same material as sheet Q, then she could see the whole candle.

Which of the following options is correct regarding P, Q and R?

ASheet Q is made of a transparent material.
BSheet R is made of a transparent material.
CSheet P is made of an opaque material.
DAll of these.
