The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown: ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states: "The entire material world which can be seen and detected with instruments like microscopes and telescopes is called the universe." - **Explanation**: The universe indeed encompasses everything that exists, including all matter and energy. Instruments like telescopes are used to observe celestial bodies (like stars and planets), while microscopes are used to observe microscopic organisms. Therefore, this assertion is true. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states: "Living organisms are unevenly distributed in the biosphere." - **Explanation**: The biosphere includes various ecosystems found in the lithosphere (land), hydrosphere (water), and atmosphere (air). It is well-established that living organisms are not evenly distributed across these ecosystems due to factors like climate, geography, and availability of resources. Thus, this reason is also true. ### Step 3: Determine the Relationship Between Assertion and Reason Now we need to determine if the reason provided is a correct explanation of the assertion. - **Explanation**: While both statements are true, the uneven distribution of living organisms in the biosphere does not explain why the material world observed through instruments is referred to as the universe. The assertion is about the definition of the universe, while the reason discusses the distribution of life, which is a separate concept. ### Step 4: Choose the Correct Option Based on the analysis: - Both the assertion and the reason are correct. - However, the reason does not serve as a correct explanation for the assertion. Thus, the correct answer is: **B) Both assertion and reason are correct, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.** ---

The limit of resolution of a microscope is the least distance between two point objects which can be seen clearly and distinctively with it. For a naked eye, limit of resolution is about 10^(-4) m or 0.1 mm. The limit of resolution for a microscope is of the order of lambda/2 , where lambda is wavelength of light used. For an optical microscope , using visible light, limit of resolution is "500 nm"/2 =250 mm. This is 400 times smaller than naked eye. So the useful magnification produced by it is 400. Smaller is the limit of resolution, greater is the magnification that can be achieved. By using shorter wavelengths , we can improve resolution. For examination of a microorganism, much higher limit of resolution is needed, the Wave nature of electron provides a means for probes of very small size organisms. An electron beam accelerated by a high potential difference possess a very short wavelength. In an electron microscope magnetic lenses are used to control the path of electrons. The image of object is obtained on a fluorescent screen or on a photographic plate. The electron microscope with its high magnifying power and resolving power , is one of the most indispensable and powerful tool for research in science , medicine and industry. For an electron beam accelerated through a high potential difference V, limit of resolution is proportional to

Cartain materials such as turpentine oil, unsaturated organic compound, phosophorus, metals such as Zn , and Pb , etc., can absorb O_(2) from air in the presence of H_(2)O , which is converted to absorb O_(2) from air in the presence of H_(2)O , which is converted to H_(2)O_(2) .

Read the following statements regarding the various techniques used in cancer detection. (i) Cancer detection is based on biopsy and histopathological studies of the tissue, and blood and bone marrow tests for increased cell counts in case of leukaemia. (ii) In biopsy, a piece of the suspected tissue cut into thin sections is stained and examined under microscope by a pathologist. (iii) Techniques like radiography (use of X-rays), CT (computed tomography) and MRI(magnetic resonance imaging) are very useful to detect cancers of the internal organs. (iv) Computed tomography uses strong magnetic fileds and non-ionising radiations to detect physiological changes in living tissues. (v) MRI uses X-rays and ionising radiation to generate a 3-D image of the internal structure of an object. Which of the above statements are incorrect ?

Reaction intermdiates are short lived species and are highly reactive. They are formed by heterolytic and homolytic bond fission. There are various types of reaction intermediates in which the most important are carbocation , carbanion and free radical. Carbocation is an organic species in which carbon have positive charge and six electrons in its outermost shell. The stability of carbocation can be increased by positive inductive effect, hyperconjugation and delocalisation. If alpha -atom with respect to carbocation has one or more lone pair of electron then lone pair of electron strongly stabilises the carbocation due to octet completion. Species in which carbon have negative charge is called carbanion. Carbanion carries three bond pairs and one lone pair. The stability of carbanion can be increased by negative inductive effect, negative mesomeric effect and delocalisation. Free radical is a species which have seven electrons in its outermost shell. The stability of free radical can be increased by hyperconjugation and delocalisation. The stability order of following carbocations is
