The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the changes listed cannot be reversed, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Breaking of an earthen pitcher (i)**: - When an earthen pitcher breaks, it shatters into pieces. Once broken, it cannot be restored to its original form. - **Conclusion**: This is an irreversible change. 2. **Freezing of ice-cream (ii)**: - Freezing ice-cream involves changing it from a liquid state to a solid state. However, once frozen, it can be melted back into a liquid. - **Conclusion**: This is a reversible change. 3. **Falling of trees during a storm (iii)**: - When trees fall due to a storm, they cannot be returned to their original position. The damage caused is permanent. - **Conclusion**: This is an irreversible change. 4. **Filling of a bucket with water (iv)**: - Filling a bucket with water can be reversed by emptying the bucket. The process can go back and forth. - **Conclusion**: This is a reversible change. 5. **Rusting of a bicycle (v)**: - Rusting is a chemical process where iron reacts with oxygen and moisture to form rust. Once rust forms, it cannot be easily converted back to iron. - **Conclusion**: This is an irreversible change. 6. **Digestion of food (vi)**: - Digestion involves breaking down food into simpler substances that the body can absorb. Once food is digested, it cannot be reverted back to its original form. - **Conclusion**: This is an irreversible change. ### Summary of Irreversible Changes: - Breaking of an earthen pitcher (i) - Falling of trees during a storm (iii) - Rusting of a bicycle (v) - Digestion of food (vi) ### Final Answer: The changes that cannot be reversed are (i), (iii), (v), and (vi).

To determine which of the changes listed cannot be reversed, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Breaking of an earthen pitcher (i)**: - When an earthen pitcher breaks, it shatters into pieces. Once broken, it cannot be restored to its original form. - **Conclusion**: This is an irreversible change. ...
