Multation breeding isa phenomenon by which genetic variation is achieved through changes in base sequences within genes. This creates a new charcter or traix absent in parental generation .It is the process of breeding by artificially inducing mutations using chemicals or radiations, e.g, in moong bean, resistance to yellow mosaic virus and powdery milew were introduced by this method.

A company has two factories at locations X and Y. He has to deliver the products from these factories to depots located at A, B and C. The production capacities at X and Y are respectively 12 and 10 units and the resquirements at the depote are 8,8 and 6 units respectively. The cost of transportation from the factories to the depote per unit of the product given below. The company has to determine how many units of product should be transported from each factory to each depot so that cost of transportation is minimum. Formulate this problem as L. P. P.

The decomposition of N_(2) O_(5) in "CCI"_4 solution at 318 K has been studied by monitoring the concentration of N_(2) O_(5) in the solution. Initially, the concentration of N_(2) O_(5) is 2.33 M and after 184 minutes, it is reduced to 2.08M. The reaction takes place according to the equation, 2N_(2) O_(5) to 4NO_(2) + O_(2) . Calculate the average rate of this reaction in terms of hours, minutes and seconds. What is the rate of production of NO_2 during this period.
