Consider the following pairs :

 Example of ColloidType of Colloid
I.CloudAerosol
II.MudSol
III.MilkEmulsion
IV.RubberFoam

How many of the pairs given above are correctly matched?

This question was previously asked in
NDA 2 2026 GAT Question Paper (13-Sep-2026)
The correct answer is

Three

Pair I: Cloud – Aerosol: Correct. A cloud consists of tiny liquid water droplets dispersed in air (gas), so it is classified as an aerosol.

Pair II: Mud – Sol: Correct. Mud contains solid particles dispersed in a liquid medium (water), which makes it a sol.

Pair III: Milk – Emulsion: Correct. Milk consists of tiny droplets of fat dispersed in water and is therefore an emulsion.

Pair IV: Rubber – Foam: Incorrect. Ordinary rubber is not classified as a foam. Foam rubber, in which gas is dispersed in a solid medium, is an example of a solid foam.

Therefore, three pairs (I, II and III) are correctly matched.

Correct Answer: Three
