1. It simplifies and condenses the size of the data. 

2. If facilitates comparision.

A. Option 3 Alerting reactions. Stimulation of the ascending reticular formation leads to increased electrical activity in the cortex and results in a state of alertness. 

B. Option 5 Postural reflexes. Diseases affecting this part of the brain such as Parkinson’s disease result in abnormal distribution of muscle tone. Substantia nigra neurones are dopaminergic. 

C. Option 4 Temperature regulation. Temperature regulating centres are found in the hypothalamus. 

D. Option 1 Fear and rage reactions. The limbic region is associated with the emotions. 

E. Option 2 Vision. Visual impulses are conveyed to the occipital cortex in the optic tracts where they give rise to conscious visual images.

P(A¹ ) = 3/6 = 1/2.

A. True Parathormone secretion is stimulated by a fall in the ionized Ca²⁺ level. 

B. False It is more than 10⁵ times higher. 

C. True Most of the rest is bound to protein, mainly albumin.

D. True In alkalosis more calcium is protein-bound. 

E. False The ionized calcium level is regulated independently.

A. False Both are formed by these cells. 

B. False Secretin juice is poor in enzymes. 

C. True Secretin juice is copious and rich in bicarbonate ions. 

D. True ‘Cholecystokinin’ implies stimulation of the gallbladder. 

E. True CCK-PZ resembles gastrin and increases gastric motility.

A. False It is regulated directly by the calcium level in the blood that perfuses it. 

B. True It stimulates osteoclasts to resorb bone; excessive secretion causes cysts to form. 

C. False The high blood calcium levels with parathormone and the resulting increase in calcium filtration in the glomeruli result in an increased calcium output in urine. 

D. False It increases phosphate excretion by reducing renal phosphate reabsorption. 

E. True It does this indirectly by stimulating 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol production.

A. False It rises since the product of [Ca⁺] [PO₄^-] is constant.

B. True Alkalosis increases calcium binding by plasma proteins. 

C. True Due to release of thyrocalcitonin. 

D. False But the total calcium level falls. 

E. True This binds calcium ions and prevents clotting

A. False Both act on alpha receptors but noradrenaline is the more potent stimulant. 

B. False Both act on beta receptors but adrenaline is the more potent stimulant. 

C. True Noradrenaline raises but adrenaline reduces it. 

D. False Adrenaline raises but noradrenaline reflexly reduces it. 

E. False Both constrict skin vessels due to their alpha receptor stimulant properties.

A. True Due to the lowered metabolic rate. 

B. True Due to the slowing of mental processes.

C. False Hair loss is characteristic of hypothyroidism. 

D. False Decreased sweating is found in hypothyroidism. 

E. False Prominent eyeballs are characteristic of the exophthalmos of hyperthyroidism. 

A. Option 3 Stretch. Stretching of the muscle spindles leads to reflex contraction of the muscle being stretched as in the knee jerk. 

B. Option 1 Pain. These nerve endings are stimulated by stimuli that tend to damage the tissues in which the bare nerve endings lie. 

C. Option 2 Angular acceleration of the head. The sensory end organs in the crista ampullaris are stimulated when movement of fluid in the semicircular canals moves the hair cells in the cupulae. 

D. Option 4 Sound waves in the inner ear. These sensory organs lie in the organ of Corti and are stimulated when sound waves cause vibrations in the basilar membrane in the inner ear. 

E. Option 5 Sweet substances in solution. These taste receptors are found towards the front of the tongue and can detect sweet taste stimuli.

A. Option 1 Sudden laryngeal obstruction. The obstruction leads to a rapid rise in P_CO2 before the kidneys can compensate by generating bicarbonate thus raising the blood bicarbonate level. 

B. Option 5 Severe diarrhoea. Severe diarrhoea results in loss of bicarbonate in the stools and thus to a fall in the blood bicarbonate level. 

C. Option 2 Severe chronic respiratory disease. The raised P_CO2 in chronic respiratory disease may be compensated for by renal generation of bicarbonate to raise the blood bicarbonate level. 

D. Option 4 Mountain climbing. The respiratory drive caused by the action of low Po₂ on arterial chemoreceptors washes out CO₂. This lowers the P_CO2 to cause an alkalosis. Eventually the kidneys compensate by eliminating more bicarbonate. 

E. Option 3 Chronic renal failure. The fall in blood bicarbonate used in buffering the acid residues of protein digestion in chronic renal failure is compensated for by an increased respiratory drive that results in a fall in P_CO2. 

A. True Stimulation of the receptor generates impulses in the afferent limb. 

B. True Stimulation of osmoreceptors reflexly modifies ADH output from the posterior pituitary gland. 

C. False The knee jerk reflex arc contains only one central nervous synapse. 

D. True In the knee jerk extensors of the knee contract, while flexors relax (reciprocal inhibition). 

E. False Higher centres can facilitate or inhibit many reflex actions such as micturition.

A. True It is an anabolic hormone. 

B. True Secretion in the pituitary is stimulated by growth hormone releasing factor and inhibited by somatostatin from the hypothalamus. 

C. False Blood levels are similar in children and adults. 

D. True Sleep is a time for anabolic activity. 

E. True Somatomedins (insulin-like growth factors, IGF) from the liver inhibit the pituitary secretion of growth hormone and stimulate release of somatostatin from the hypothalamus.

Macroeconomics studies economy-wide phenomena such as inflation, price levels, rate of economic growth, national income, gross domestic product (GDP), and changes in unemployment.

Convers given less than frequency table into normal frequency table:

n = \(\sum\)f_i = 115

\(\because\) n/2 = 11/2 = 57.5

\(\therefore\) Median class = 40 - 50

l = lower limit of median class = 40

c = cumulative frequency processing class of median class = 50

f = frequency of median class = 20

h = class - interval = 60 - 50 = 10

\(\therefore\) Median = l +\(\cfrac{\frac n2-c}f\times h\)

 = 40 + \(\frac{57.5-50}{20}\times10\) 

= 40 + 3.75

 = 43.75

Hence, median of marks of students is 43.75.

\(\therefore\) Mean = \(\frac{\Sigma x_if_i}{\Sigma x_i}=\frac{2740}{125}\) = 21.92

It has been observed that the struggles for Freedom in India had been a merger of a series of Political, Socio-Cultural, and Economic factors that led to the rise of Nationalism. The Nationalist Movements in India were early popular movements seeking independence of India from Great Britain. Although actions such as the Salt March in 1930 raised pressure on the colonialist administration and won concessions, these remained limited in scope and fell short of the complete independence sought. 

The Swadeshi movement encouraged the Indian people to stop using British products and start using their own handmade products. The original Swadeshi movement emanated from the partition of Bengal in 1905 and continued up to 1908. The Swadeshi movement which was a part of the Indian freedom struggle was a successful economic strategy to remove the British empire and improve economic conditions in India. The Swadeshi movement soon stimulated local enterprise in many areas. After Lord Curzon announced the partition of Bengal in 1905, there was massive opposition from the people of Bengal. Initially, the partition plan was opposed through press campaign. The total follower of such techniques led to the boycott of British goods. The British swiftly responded to the Quit India Movement with mass detentions. Over 100,000 arrests were made, mass fines were levied and demonstrators were subjected to public flogging. Hundreds of civilians were killed in violence many shot by the police army. The Quit India Movement turned out to be not very successful and only lasted until 1943.

Bal GangadharTilak-

Bal GangadharTilak was born on 22 July 1856, in a middle class family in Ratnagiri, a small coastal town in southwestern Maharashtra. His father, GangadharShastri, was a noted Sanskrit scholar and school teacher at Ratnagiri. Tilak was a brilliant student and also very good in mathematics. Since his childhood, Tilak had an intolerant attitude towards injustice and he was truthful and straight forward in nature. After graduating from Deccan College, Pune in 1877, Tilak cleared the LLB from the Elphinston College, Mumbai. Later, he helped found a school that laid emphasis on nationalism. 

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi-

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born on 02 October 1869 at Porbandar which is in the present day Gujarat. His father, Karamchand Gandhi, was a Dewan or Prime Minister of Porbandar. His mother, Putlibai, was a very religious lady and left a deep impression on Gandhi's mind. He was a mediocre student and was excessively shy and timid. He married at the age of thirteen to Kasturbai. Later on in his life, Gandhi denounced the custom of child marriage and termed it as cruel. After schooling, he joined the Samaldas College in Bhavnagar.

Correct option is A) out

I told to him that he don't trust you.

correct option is b) Shooting 

correct option is b) mean point of impact 

The correct answer is 2 only.

• The depth for the 26-degree isotherm is 50-100 meters, not 129 meters. Hence statement 1 is not correct.
• During January–March, the mean 26 degrees isotherm depth in the Southwestern Indian Ocean is 59 meters.  
• Ocean mean temperature(OMT) is a better indicator of monsoon rainfall than sea surface temperature (SST) because it measures ocean thermal energy. Hence statement 2 is correct.

• Ocean heat content (OHC) and Ocean Mean Temperature (OMT) are important climatic parameters required for atmospheric and oceanic studies like cyclone and monsoon predictions and ocean heat transport estimations.
• Sea surface temperature (SST) is routinely used for predicting whether the total amount of rainfall that India receives during the monsoon season will be less or more than the long-term mean of 887.5 mm.
• Now, scientists from Pune’s Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM) find that ocean means temperature (OMT) that has a better ability to predict this than the sea surface temperature.
• Compared with SST which has a 60% success rate of predicting the Indian summer monsoon, OMT has an 80% success rate.  
• The SST is restricted to a few millimeters of the top ocean layer and is largely influenced by strong winds, evaporation, or thick clouds.
• In contrast, OMT, which is measured up to a depth of 26 degrees isotherm, is more stable and consistent, and the spatial spread is also less.
• The 26 degrees isotherm is seen at depths varying from 50–100 meters.
• During January–March, the mean 26 degrees C isotherm depth in the Southwestern Indian Ocean is 59 meters.  

Correct option is B) collaboration
