None of the options are correct as - Solution X + Phenolphthalein - Colourless, only in case that if X is a acid (or) neutral (or)
weak base.
In optio (A),X is a weak base and Y is an acid which results in the acidic solution.
Both (B) and (C) are acidic solution as Y is weak base and neutral in option (B) and (C) respectively.

28. Di iculty : Medium

Topics :

Science,

'X' can be coke, as it is the residue le behind destructive distillation of coal. 

'Y' is coal gas, as coal gas is a mixture of hydrogen, Methane, Carbon monoxide and same other gases.
'Z' can be coal tar as it contains several carbon compounds which used to make explosive and perfumes.

Science,

On the basis of metal reactivity series, reaction will not take place in I and II flask.

31. Di iculty : Medium

Topics :

Science,

As burning of LPG is a chemical change, rusting of iron is a slow process and evaporation of water is a physical change.  So
Venn diagram is correct for option (C).

32. Di iculty : Medium

Topics :

Science,

On the basis of physical properties and used : -

It is obtained from plants   Q - Cellulosic fibres cotton Jute
      
It is obtained from animals    R - Geological fibres
      
The source of organism is harmed in fibre obtaining process    S - Wool

T - Silk
S - Wool obtained from sheep which is a viviparous animal.
T - Silk. As the process to obtained it requires killing of cocoon and pupa. The silk - insect shows egg, larvae, pupa (cocoon) and
adult as 4 stage in its life cycle.
