    Read the paragraph and answer the following question: You must be knowing about the high and low tides that occur regularly in the sea. The level of the sea water at any given location along sea shore increase and decreases twice a day at regular intervals. High and low tides occur at different times at places. The level of water in sea changes because of the gravitational force exerted by the moon. Water directly under the moon gets pulled towards the moon and the level of water there goes up causing high tide at that place. At two places on the earth at 90^(@) from the place of high tide, the level of water is minimum and low tides occur there. How many times the sea level at the coast change?

    Students can construct their own aquaponic system with materials available in their laboratory. An old aquarium or any water tight container can be converted into simple aquaponics system Materials Required: Aquarium tank/ any water tight container, a floating Styrofoam platform (thermocol), growing medium-coconut fibre. An air pump and air stone, nutrient solution (vermiwash or can buy commercially available nutrient solution), plastic cups and seeds. Cut a floating thermocol platform to fit the tank. Make holes on the platform to insert plastic cups with the growing medium. Fill the aquarium tank with water and nutrients. An air pump supplies air to the air stone that bubbles the nutrient solution and supplies oxygen to the roots. Place the floating platform on top of the nutrient solution and place the plastic cups with plants into the holes in the platform. Now your simple hydroponics system is ready to build a aquaponic system fishes can be introduced into the tank instead of nutrient solution.

    An unknown aldehyde 'A' on reacting with alkali gives a b-hydroxy-aldehyde, which loses water to form an unsaturated aldehyde, 2 - butenal. Another aldehyde 'B' undergoes disporportionation reaction in the presence of conc. alkali to form products C and D. C is an aryl alcohol with formula C_7H_8O . (i) Identify A and B. (ii) Write the sequence of reactions involved (iii) Name the product, when 'B' reacts with Zn amalgam and hydrochloric acid.
