The correct Answer is:
To determine how many statements about cannabinoids are correct, we will evaluate each statement one by one. 1. **Statement (i)**: "Natural cannabinoids are obtained from the inflorescence of Erythroxylum coca." - This statement is incorrect. Natural cannabinoids are actually obtained from the inflorescence of the Cannabis sativa plant, not Erythroxylum coca, which is the source of cocaine. 2. **Statement (ii)**: "Marijuana, Hashish, Charas and Ganja are obtained from flower tops, leaves and the resin of Papaver somniferum." - This statement is also incorrect. Marijuana, hashish, charas, and ganja are derived from the Cannabis plant, not Papaver somniferum, which is the source of opium. 3. **Statement (iii)**: "Cannabinoids are generally taken by inhalation and oral ingestion." - This statement is correct. Cannabinoids can indeed be consumed through inhalation (smoking or vaporizing) and oral ingestion (edibles). 4. **Statement (iv)**: "Cannabinoids have no effect on the cardiovascular system of the body." - This statement is incorrect. Cannabinoids can have various effects on the cardiovascular system, including changes in heart rate and blood pressure. Now, let's summarize the correctness of each statement: - Statement (i): Incorrect - Statement (ii): Incorrect - Statement (iii): Correct - Statement (iv): Incorrect **Total Correct Statements**: 1 (only statement iii is correct) ### Final Answer: There is **1 correct statement** about cannabinoids.

The general motion of a rigid body can be considered to be a combination of (i) a motion of its centre of mass about an axis, and (ii) its motion about an instantaneous exis passing through the centre of mass. These axes need not be stationary. Consider, for example, a thin uniform disc welded (rigidly fixed) horizontally at its rim to a massless, stick as shown in the figure. When the disc-stick system is rotated about the origin on a horizontal frictionless plane with angular speed omega the motion at any instant can be taken as a combination of (i) a rotation of the disc through an instantaneous vertical axis passing through its centre of mass (as is seen from the changed orientation of points P and Q). Both these motions have the same angular speed omega in this case Now consider two similar system as shown in the figure: Case (a) the disc with its face vertical and parallel to x-z plane, Case (b) the disc with its face making an angle of 45^@ with x-y plane and its horizontal diameter parallel to x-axis. In both the cases, the disc is welded at point P, and the systems are rotated with constant angular speed omega about the z-axis. Which of the following statements regarding the angular speed about the instantaneous axis (passing through the centre of mass) is correct?

The human neural system consists of central neural system (CNS) and peripheral neural system (PNS), how many statements correct for human neural system? i. The CNS includes the brain and the spinal cord ii. The PNS comprises of all the nerves of the body associated with the CNS iii. PNS consist of cranial nerve and spinal nerve iv. The PNS is divided into two divisions called somatic neural system and autonomic neural system v. The efferent nerve fibres of PNS transmit impulses from tissues/organs to the CNS vi. Afferent fibres of PNS transmit regulatory impulses from the CNS to the concerned peripheral tissues/organs.
