1📚🧾 AccountsNutrition

Consider the following pairs:

- A. Vitamin A: Anaemia
- B. Vitamin C: Skin Diseases
- C. Vitamin D: Rickets
- D. Vitamin B1: Beri Beri

Which of the above pairs are correctly matched?

Explanation

Vitamin D deficiency causes Rickets (C is correct) and Vitamin B1 deficiency causes Beri Beri (D is correct). Vitamin A deficiency causes Night Blindness (Anaemia is due to iron deficiency), and Vitamin C deficiency causes Scurvy.

وٹامن D کی کمی سے ہڈیوں کی بیماری ریکٹس (Rickets) ہوتی ہے اور وٹامن B1 کی کمی سے بیری بیری (Beri Beri) ہوتی ہے۔ لہذا C اور D جوڑے درست ہیں۔

2📚⚖️ LawLegal Sections

Which is not the amendment done to the IPC, 1860 Section 375?

Explanation

Section 375 of the IPC deals exclusively with sexual assault committed by a man against a female. Male children are protected under the POCSO Act, not Section 375 IPC.

آئی پی سی کی دفعہ 375 صرف خواتین کے خلاف جنسی زیادتی کی تعریف کرتی ہے۔ لڑکوں کے تحفظ کے لیے پاکسو (POCSO) قانون ہے، اس لیے دفعہ 375 کا یہ ترمیم لڑکوں کے لیے نہیں ہے۔

Exudative diathesis in fish is caused by deficiency of

Explanation

Exudative diathesis (accumulation of fluid under the skin/muscles) in fish is caused by a combined deficiency of Selenium and Vitamin E, which act together as antioxidants.

مچھلیوں میں ایگزوڈیٹو ڈائیتھیسس (Exudative Diathesis - جلد کے نیچے رطوبت کا جمع ہونا) سیلینیم (Selenium) اور وٹامن E دونوں کی کمی کی وجہ سے پیدا ہوتی ہے۔

5📚🧬 BiologyFish Nutrition

Which of the following statements are true?
a. Wet feed has a moisture content of 18-45%
b. Moist feed has a moisture content of 18-45%
c. Sinking pellet feeds have a stability upto one hour
d. Floating pellet have high protein content

Explanation

Statements b and c are true: moist feed has a moisture content of 18-45% (wet feed contains >45% moisture), and sinking pellets generally possess water stability up to 1-3 hours. Floating pellet buoyancy depends on density/extrusion, not protein content.

بیانات b اور c درست ہیں: نم دار غذا (Moist feed) میں نمی کا تناسب 18-45 فیصد ہوتا ہے، اور ڈوبنے والے پیلٹس پانی میں ایک گھنٹے تک مستحکم رہ سکتے ہیں۔

6📚🧬 BiologyFish Nutrition

Which of the following statements are true?
a. Phytase is a commonly used Enzyme additive in fish feed
b. Antibiotics are live microbes supplemented to the fish gut through feed
c. Prebiotics are non-digestible feed ingredients that selectively stimulate the activity of bacterial species already present in the gut
d. Organic acids are used as additive in feed

Explanation

Statements a, c, and d are correct. Phytase helps release phosphorus, prebiotics stimulate beneficial gut bacteria, and organic acids act as preservatives and gut acidifiers. Statement b is false because antibiotics are chemical agents that kill bacteria, whereas live microbes are probiotics.

بیانات a، c اور d درست ہیں۔ فائٹیز ایک اینزائم ہے، پری بائیوٹکس فائدہ مند گٹ بیکٹیریا کی نشوونما بڑھاتے ہیں، اور نامیاتی تیزاب خوراک کو خراب ہونے سے بچاتے ہیں۔ بیان b غلط ہے کیونکہ زندہ خوردبینی جانداروں کو پروبائیوٹکس کہتے ہیں۔

7📚🧬 BiologyFish Nutrition

Match the following to their formula:
a. Food Conversion Ratio
b. Protein efficiency ratio
c. Feed efficiency ratio
d. Net protein utilization

Formulas:
1. Weight gain / protein intake
2. Feed intake / weight gain
3. (Nitrogen retained / nitrogen absorbed) * 100
4. Weight gain / Feed taken

Match correctly:

Explanation

Matches: FCR = Feed Intake / Weight Gain (a:2); PER = Weight Gain / Protein Intake (b:1); FER = Weight Gain / Feed Taken (c:4); NPU = (Nitrogen Retained / Nitrogen Absorbed) * 100 (d:3). This matches Option B.

درست فارمولے: FCR = خوراک کی مقدار / وزن کا اضافہ (a:2)؛ PER = وزن کا اضافہ / پروٹین کی مقدار (b:1)؛ FER = وزن کا اضافہ / خوراک کی مقدار (c:4)؛ NPU = جذب شدہ نائٹروجن کا حاصل کردہ تناسب (d:3)۔ یہ آپشن B ہے۔

8📚🧬 BiologyFish Pathology

Which of the following statements are true?
a. Saddle back disease in fishes is caused by Flavobacterium columnare
b. Vitamin E deficiency leads to muscular deformity
c. Scoliosis is a muscular deformity
d. Whirling disease is caused due to water supersaturation

Explanation

Statements a and b are true. Columnaris (Flavobacterium columnare) infection is commonly referred to as saddleback disease. Vitamin E deficiency is known to cause nutritional muscular dystrophy/deformities in fish. Statement c is false (scoliosis is a lateral skeletal/backbone curvature). Statement d is false (whirling disease is caused by Myxobolus cerebralis, not gas supersaturation).

بیانات a اور b درست ہیں۔ سیڈل بیک بیماری کالم نارس بیکٹیریا کی وجہ سے ہوتی ہے اور وٹامن E کی کمی سے پٹھوں کی کمزوری/ڈیسٹروفی ہوتی ہے۔ بیانات c اور d غلط ہیں۔
