The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the incorrect statements about drugs, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement (i): Barbiturates cause sleeplessness.** - Barbiturates are classified as sedative-hypnotics, which means they are used to induce sleep. Therefore, this statement is incorrect because barbiturates do not cause sleeplessness; they actually promote sleep. 2. **Statement (ii): Opioids are obtained from the leaves of Erythroxylum coca.** - Opioids are derived from opium, which comes from the poppy plant (Papaver somniferum). Erythroxylum coca is the source of cocaine, not opioids. Hence, this statement is also incorrect. 3. **Statement (iii): Morphine is a very effective sedative and pain killer.** - Morphine is indeed a natural opioid that is known for its effectiveness as a sedative and painkiller. It is used in medical settings for pain management. Therefore, this statement is correct. 4. **Statement (iv): Cocaine is obtained from the hemp plant.** - Cocaine is derived from the leaves of the Erythroxylum coca plant, not from the hemp plant (which is Cannabis sativa). Thus, this statement is incorrect. ### Conclusion: The incorrect statements are: - (i) Barbiturates cause sleeplessness. - (ii) Opioids are obtained from the leaves of Erythroxylum coca. - (iv) Cocaine is obtained from the hemp plant. Thus, the answer is that statements (i), (ii), and (iv) are incorrect. ---
