I've yet elegantly embroiled everyone in the labyrinth of the 50th MCQ..Quite inspiriting..

B is not possible (for forming KCl), the reason being that Sulphate ions are more stable and reactive than Chloride ions hence the Potassium ion prefers to be with the Sulphate ion rather than the less stable chloride ion therefore the reaction is not feasible.

To be honest, nobody knows the answer either. :p
How did you calculate 1.1 m/s?
The 5 kg block falls by a height of 0.1 m. So the loss in its g.p.e was (0.1 * 5 * 10) = 5 J
The 1 kg block also moves by a distance of 0.1 m.....
.... So the work done against friction = F * d = 10 * 0.1 =1 J
By using trigonometry, we can find out that the height of the 1 kg block increased by 5 cm (0.05m)......
......So its increase in g.p.e = mgh = 1 * 10 * 0.05 = 0.5 J
The loss in g.p.e of 5 kg mass was converted to heat energy (due to friction), g.p.e of 1 kg block and kinetic energy of whole system.
We have calculated the work done against friction and increase in g.p.e of 1 kg block....
....so kinetic energy of system = 5 - 1 - 0.5 =3.5 J
Both, the 1 kg block and 5 kg block are moving with the same velocity, but the 5 kg block has 5 times more kinetic energy than the 1 kg block because of its mass being greater by 5 times.....so.....
x + 5x = 3.5
x = 7 /12 - which is kinetic energy of the 1 kg block.
use k.e. = 0.5 * m *v^2
By substituting m=1, you get
v= 1.08 =1.1 m/s

Everything makes sense, you're the closest that anyone has been to an answer.
I have one question only,
How did you calculate the increase in height of the 1 kg block?
