one of the oldest traditional tag games of India. It is a team game, 9 players will take the field in
the beginning to start the match and 3 defenders of opposite team try to avoid being touched
by the chasers. It is a high energy game that involves running and chasing. The motive of the
sitting team is to “tag” the opponents. The chasers can run only in one direction and cannot

attacker touches the chaser he wants (usually nearest to the target) and utters the word “Kho”
loudly to signify the change

  1. Ans is –
    (Hydrogen Sulphide)
    Silver is a fairly
    Stable metal and under normal circumstances does not corrode quickly. However,it is particularly susceptible to the effects of the sulfide radical. However,when exposed to air silver reacts with Hydrogen sulphide in the atmosphere, especially in marine environment, and readily forms a surface tarnish of silver sulphide.
