Read the given passage and answer the questions that follows: Rhodinus, a blood-sucking bug, shows five instars before it metamorphoses into an adult. It ahs a very long head with the brain located at tip and an organ called Corpora Cardiaca (C C) behind it. The hormone that ensures the continuum of the juvenile stages is called a juvenile hormone. Behind the head is a pro - thoracic gland, which gets triggered by the Pro - Thoracico - Tropic Hormone (PTTH) to release ecdysone required for molting into an adult.

The following observations were made when the juveniles of this insect were subjected to various conditions :
1. Starved juveniles (any instar) when decapitated `rarr` remained juveniles and did not molt into adults.
2. Well-fed juveniles (any instar) when decapitated `rarr` molted into adults.
3. Starved juveniles (any instar) when partially decapitated to remove the brain cells `rarr` remained juveniles and did not molt into adults.
4. Well - fed juveniles (any instar) when partially deitated to remove the brain cells `rarr` did not molt into adults.
If an unfed, completely decapitated, fth (final) instar juvenile is connected to a well-fed, decapitated fourth instar juvenile by a glass tube so that fluids can be exchanged, what whill be the expected result ?
