Answer:
             CaCO₃ built up in hot water pipes

Explanation:

The hardness of water is classified as;

Permanent Hard Water:
                                     In this the mineral content cannot be removed by boiling. This water contains mainly following,

                                        Calcium Sulfate  CaSO₄

                                        Calcium Chloride   CaCl₂

                                        Magnesium Sulfate   MgSO₄

                                        Magnesium Chloride   MgCl₂

These salts does not precipitate out on heating water.

Temporary Hard Water:
                                     In this water the mineral content can be removed by boiling. This water contains mainly following,

                                        Calcium Bicarbonate  Ca(HCO₃)₂

                                        Calcium Carbonate  CaCO₃

                                        Magnesium Bicarbonate   Mg(HCO₃)₂

                                        Magnesium Carbonate  MgCO₃

These salts does not precipitate out on heating water. i.e.

                Ca(HCO₃)₂    -------heat------>    CaCO₃  +  CO₂  +  H₂O

The CaCO₃ are formed in the form of scales.

Result:
           Hence, we can say that that CaCO₃ built up in hot water pipes.

The bulb lights up in the circuit. Only two rods are conductors of electricity. Which one of the rods, X, Y or Z is definitely a
meriva

Answer: Rod X.

Explanation:

Ok, the electricity starts in the top left part. First, it must travel in the X rod, then it keeps traveling until it reaches the parallel path, and it can go to the Z rod, to the Y rod, or to both of them, and then it reaches the bulb (the circle with a X inside of it).

We know that two rods are conductors of electricity.

Now, suppose the case where rods Z and Y are the ones that conduct electricity, this means that X does not conduct electricity, then when the current reaches to X it stops (because X does not conduct) then the electricity never reaches the rods Z and Y, and then the electricity never reaches the bulb, but we know that the bulb lights up, so we must have that X is one of the conducting rods.

Then, if for example, Y does not conduct electricity, the electricity still can run through the Z rod and eventually reach the bulb.

So we can conclude that the rod that is definitely a conductor of electricity is rod X
