Answers:
1: (b) Melting of ghee
Melting of ghee is a reversible change because, on melting, ghee turns into liquid form and after cooling it returns back to its original form.

2: (a) Hardening of cement

Hardening of cement is an irreversible change. Changes that cannot be reversed are called irreversible changes.

3: (d) The ring changes its shape and the change cannot be reversed

4: (d) (1) and (4)

Melting of wax and solidification of melted wax, both can be seen in case of lighting a candle.

5: (d) mixing of salt in water is a change that can be reversed by evaporation

Note: The common salt dissolved in water can be separated by the process of evaporation.

6: (c) can be reversed and cannot be reversed, respectively

7: (d) expands first, then on cooling contracts and fits onto the wooden wheel

On heating the iron rim, it expands first, then on cooling it contracts and fits onto the wooden wheel.

Note: Expansion occurs on heating whereas contraction occurs on cooling.

8: (b) earthquake

9: (c) undesirable change

10: (a) evaporation
