The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Syphilis and its Treatment:** - Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection that can be treated with antibiotics. The common antibiotics used include penicillin and tetracycline. 2. **Identifying the Question Focus:** - The question specifically asks about the contraindications of tetracycline, meaning we need to determine who should not be given this antibiotic. 3. **Reviewing the Options:** - The options provided are: 1. Pregnant women 2. Children under 12 years of age 3. Young persons 4. Both option 1 and option 2 4. **Analyzing Each Option:** - **Option 1 (Pregnant women):** Tetracycline is generally avoided during pregnancy due to potential risks to the fetus. - **Option 2 (Children under 12 years of age):** Tetracycline can cause permanent discoloration of teeth and is usually not recommended for children under 12. - **Option 3 (Young persons):** This option is too vague and does not specify an age group that would be contraindicated. - **Option 4 (Both option 1 and option 2):** This suggests that both pregnant women and children under 12 should not receive tetracycline. 5. **Determining the Correct Answer:** - Given the analysis, tetracycline should not be given to children under 12 years of age due to the risk of permanent tooth discoloration. It is also not recommended for pregnant women. Therefore, the most accurate answer is **Option 4 (both option 1 and option 2)**, as it encompasses both groups. **Final Answer:** - The correct answer is **Option 4: both option 1 and option 2**. ---

Read the following statements and select the correct ones. (i) Vaccine is a preparation (or suspension ) of a dead/attenuated pathogen of a disease which on inoculation ( or injection ) into a healthy person, provides temporary/permanent active immunity by inducing antibodies formation. (ii) Immunisation is the process by which the body produces antibodies against the vaccine preventable diseases through administration of specific vaccines. (iii) The principle of immunisation or vaccination is based on the property of 'memory' of the immune system. iv) If a person is infected with some deadly microbes to which quick immune response is required; in that case, we need to directly inject the performed antibodies or antitoxins e.g., in case of tetanus.

A particle having a mass of 10^(-2) kg carries a charge of 5 xx 10^(-8) C . The particle is given an initial horizontal velocity of 10^(5) msec^(-1) in the presence of electric field vec(E) and magnetic field vec(B) . To keep the particle moving in a horizontal direction, it is necessary that A. vec(B) should be perpendicular to the direction of velocity and vec(E) should be along the direction of velocity B. Both vec(B) and vec(E) should be along the direction of velocity C. Both vec(B) and vec(E) are mutually perpendicular and perpendicular to the direction of velocity D. vec(B) should be along the direction of velocity and vec(E) should be perpendicular to the direction of velocity
