It has high resistance
b
It has high melting point
c
For all of the above reasons
d

a
mercury has greater visibility than water
b
specific heat of mercury is less than water
c
density of mercury is more than the water
d
specific heat of mercury is more than water

142.

144.
It takes much longer to cook food in the hills than in the plains, because

a
in the hills the atmospheric density is low and therefore a lot of heat is lost to the atmosphere
b
in the hills the humidity is high and therefore a lot of heat is absorbed by the atmosphere leaving very little heat for cooking
c
due to low atmospheric pressure on the hills, the water boils at a temperature higher than 100◦C and therefore water takes longer to boil
d
in the hills the atmospheric pressure is lower than that in the plains and therefore water boils at a temperature lower than 100◦C causing an increase in cooking time

145.
