The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the symptoms associated with the hyposecretion of thyroid hormones, we will analyze each option provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Hyposecretion of Thyroid Hormones**: - Hyposecretion refers to the decreased production of thyroid hormones, primarily T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine). This condition can lead to various physiological changes in the body. 2. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option (A): Decreased pulse rate**: - Hyposecretion of thyroid hormones leads to a decreased basal metabolic rate (BMR). A lower BMR can result in a slower heart rate, or decreased pulse rate. This option is likely associated with hypothyroidism. - **Option (B): Hypertension**: - Hypothyroidism typically does not cause hypertension; rather, it can lead to hypotension (low blood pressure) due to decreased metabolic activity. Therefore, this option is not correct. - **Option (C): Diarrhoea**: - Hypothyroidism is usually associated with constipation rather than diarrhea. The decreased metabolic rate slows down gastrointestinal motility, leading to constipation. Thus, this option is also incorrect. - **Option (D): Weight loss with a normal or increased food intake**: - In cases of hypothyroidism, individuals often experience weight gain rather than weight loss, even if their food intake remains normal or increases. This is due to the slowed metabolism. Therefore, this option is incorrect. 3. **Conclusion**: - After analyzing all the options, the only symptom that is associated with the hyposecretion of thyroid hormones is **(A) Decreased pulse rate**. ### Final Answer: **(A) Decreased pulse rate**

In p-n junction diode, near junction holes combine with electrons, and impurity ions form a barrier potential which opposes the recombination of electron-hole pairs. Value of barriers potential for Si is 0.7 volt and for Ge is 0.3 V. thus charge density at the junction becomes zero and an electric field is produced near junction. this region is called depletion layer. Thickness of depletion layer is of the order of 10^(-6) meter. in forward bias p terminal is connected with the positive terminal of cell and n is connected with negative terminal of cell and n is connected with negative terminal of cell. as forward voltage is increased, current increases exponentially. As forward voltage is increased barrier potential in p-n junction diode is A. increased B. Decreased C. remain same D. nothing can be said.
