The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Statement (a): Arthritis is inflammation of joints.** - **Evaluation:** This statement is true. Arthritis is indeed characterized by inflammation in the joints, which leads to pain and stiffness. - **Conclusion:** True 2. **Statement (b): Osteoporosis is an age-related disorder characterized by decreased bone mass and increased chances of fractures.** - **Evaluation:** This statement is also true. Osteoporosis is an age-related condition that primarily affects older adults, especially postmenopausal women, leading to decreased bone density and an increased risk of fractures. - **Conclusion:** True 3. **Statement (c): Gout is the inflammation of joints due to accumulation of calcium carbonate crystals.** - **Evaluation:** This statement is false. Gout is caused by the accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints, not calcium carbonate crystals. - **Conclusion:** False ### Final Answers - (a) True - (b) True - (c) False

Read the statements (A- D). A. Suture joint is a type of fibrous joint between cranial bones. B. Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder. C. Tetany results in rapid spasms or wild contractions in nerve. D. Accumulation of uric acid crystals in joints occurs in gout. How many of the above statements are false?

These questions consists of two statements each printed as Assertion and Reason. While answering these question you are required to choose any one of the following five reponses (a) If both Assertion and Reason arecorrect and Reason is the correct explanation of Asserrtion. (b) If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion. (c ) If Assertion is true but Reason is false. (d) If Assertion is false but Reason is true. Assertion A block of mass m starts moving on a rough horizontal surface with a velocity v. It stops due to friction between the block and the surface after moving through a certain distance. The surface is now tilted to an angle of 30^(@) with the horizontal and the same block is made to go up on the surface with the same initial velocity v. The decrease in the mechanical energy in the second situation is smaller than that in the first situation. Reason The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface decreases with the increase in the anglle of inclination.
