The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to evaluate each statement one by one and determine whether they are true (T) or false (F). ### Step 1: Evaluate the first statement **Statement (i): A charged object may attract something that is neutral.** - **Explanation:** A charged object can indeed attract a neutral object. This happens because the charged object induces a charge in the neutral object, causing it to become polarized. The side of the neutral object that is closer to the charged object becomes oppositely charged and is attracted to the charged object. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **True (T)**. ### Step 2: Evaluate the second statement **Statement (ii): An atom that gains electrons becomes positively charged.** - **Explanation:** When an atom gains electrons, it has more negatively charged particles than positively charged protons. This results in the atom becoming negatively charged, not positively charged. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **False (F)**. ### Step 3: Evaluate the third statement **Statement (iii): The passage of electric current in air due to movement of electric charges is called electric discharge.** - **Explanation:** Electric discharge refers to the flow of electric current through a medium (in this case, air) due to the movement of electric charges. This is commonly observed during phenomena such as lightning. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **True (T)**. ### Final Summary Based on the evaluations: - Statement (i): True (T) - Statement (ii): False (F) - Statement (iii): True (T) The correct identification of the statements is: **True, False, True**. ---
