Dear Moderator, I would like to correct the question instead !!!

14. Which of the following is 'NOT' a semi-conductor ?
answer is 'a'
---------------------
No, the question is already right.... Because germinium is a semi conductor... If we take it as " which of the following is not semi conductor then copper and silver both are not semi conductor... So that is wrong.

The one which i have pointed out is,

14. Which of the following semi-conductor ?

a. Copper
b. Zirconium
c. Silver
d. Germanium
and check it answer is given as option 'a'.

Copper is a pure conductor, not a semi-conductor. the right answer is 'd'. because all the elements of group 4A are known as semi-conductor.

Beside this question, there are also other questions which needs to be pointed out because the concepts of students will get wrong or they will acquire wrong information.

So, it is requested to please take care of the answers...........
Thanks
germinium is the semiconductor

Default Corrections!

There are some mistakes in your answers, some of which I am sure about are:

1. C (it's 149.6 which is closer to 150 million Km. It is also the standard)

10. C [Its definitely 36,000 km (35800 to b exact), I guess there is a mistake ..option C shd have been 36000 and not 23000 .. even then i would go with the closest which is C]

13. A or C (Ferrochromite is an ore, while alnico are the alloys of Almunium, Nickel and Cobalt. It is made of Copper wire wound around ferrite i.e. iron core, C would be better option to chose)

15. C (Helium is lighter than Nitrogen with Atomic mass of 4 while Nitrogen has 14, It is used in order to mitigate the toxic effects of Nitrogen under pressure as helium is a Nobel gas, it rarely reacts)

17. C (Bauxite is the answer, Chromite is Chromium's Ore)

24. C (All are Electro Megnectic waves thus would have same spectrum or Speed)

I believe rest of your answers are fine and no need to verify them
