NDA General Ability Question (2025) — Solution

Question

Which one of the following is NOT a heterogeneous mixture?

Options

  1. A. Sulphur in carbon disulphide
  2. B. Mixture of sugar and salt crystals
  3. C. Sandy water
  4. D. Sulphur in water

Answer

A. Sulphur in carbon disulphide

Step-by-step solution

Sulphur is a non-polar solid and carbon disulphide (CS_2) is a non-polar solvent. According to the principle of like dissolves like, sulphur dissolves completely in carbon disulphide to form a true solution. A true solution is a homogeneous mixture, not a heterogeneous mixture. Mixture of sugar and salt crystals, sandy water, and sulphur in water do not form true solutions and are heterogeneous mixtures. Answer: Sulphur in carbon disulphide
