Select the correct option w.r.t. nutrient content in maize which develops resistance to maize stem borers.

A : The maize having high nitrogen, sugar and aspartic acid is resistant to pest. R : It develops resistance to maize root borers.

Maize generates resistance against stem borers by having

Assertion: The heliophytes possess high chlorophyll contents and low concentration of saIt and sugar. Reason: Due to this, plants are able to grow in shade also.

Electric fuse is a protective device used in series with an electric circuit or an electric appliance to save it from damage due to overheating porduced by strong current in the circuit or application. Fuse wire is generally made from an alloy of lead and tin, which has hifh resistance and low melting point. It is connected in series in an electric installation. If a circuit gets accidentally short-circuited, a large current flows, then fuse wire melts away, which causes a break in the circuit. The power through fuse (F') is equal to heat energy lost per unit area per unit time (h) (neglecting heat loses from ends of the wire). P = I^2R = h xx 2pirl [R = (rhol)/(pir^2)] where r and l are the length and radius of fuse wire, respectively. A Battery is described by its emf (E) and internal resistance (r). Efficiency of battery (eta) is defined as the ratio of the output to the input power. eta = (Output power)/(Input power) xx 100% But I= E//(R+r), input power = EI. Output power = EI - I^2r , then. eta = ((EI - I^2r)/(EI)) xx 100 = (1-(Ir)/E) xx 100 =[1 - (E/(R+r)) (r/E)] xx 100 = (R/(R+r)) xx 100 We know that output power of a source is maximum when the external resistance is equal to internal resistance, i.e., R = r . The maximum power rating of a 20.0 Omega fuse wire is 2.0 kW. This fuse wire can be connected safely to a DC source (negligible internal resistance) of
