Key Points

• Myosin
  • Myosin is found in cardiac muscle and type I skeletal muscle fibres, one of the two types of fibres that make up the muscles the body uses for movement.
  • Myosins are a class of motor proteins well recognised for their functions in the contraction of muscles and a variety of other eukaryotic motility processes. They are ATP-dependent and in charge of motility based on actin.
  • Wilhelm Kühne made the first myosin (M2) discovery in 1864. In order to maintain the tension condition in muscle, Kühne had isolated a viscous protein from skeletal muscle. He gave the protein the name myosin.
  • Myosin is a vast superfamily of genes whose protein products share the fundamental traits of actin binding, ATP hydrolysis (ATPase enzyme activity), and force transduction, despite the fact that it was once believed that myosin was only found in muscle cells.

Additional Information

• Cardiac muscle
  • Cardiac muscle makes up the thick central layer of the heart (also known as myocardium). It is one of the three types of muscles in the body, along with skeletal and smooth muscle. The myocardium is encircled by an inner endocardium and a thin external layer called the epicardium, also called visceral pericardium.
  • Despite some significant distinctions, cardiac muscle contracts similarly to skeletal muscle.
  • The sarcoplasmic reticulum, a cell's internal calcium reserve, releases calcium in response to electrical stimulation in the form of a cardiac action potential.

Given:

Numbers: 15 and 25

Concept:

The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of two numbers is the smallest number that is a multiple of both.

Solution:

⇒ Find the prime factorization of 15: 3 × 5

⇒ Find prime factorization of 25: 5 × 5

⇒ LCM is the product of the highest powers of all prime numbers: 3¹ × 5² = 75

Therefore, the LCM of 15 and 25 is 75.

The signboard “speed thrills but kills” emphasises on driving cautiously and safely. Driving fast and experiencing the thrill is clearly not a message implicit in the statement. Nothing is mentioned about a fine. So, assumption 2 is also not implicit.

Hence, neither assumption 1 nor 2 is implicit.

Key Points

• No, the statement "He should have completed 40 years of age is not required to be the Vice-President of India" is incorrect.
• According to Article 66 of the Constitution of India, a person must be at least 35 years of age to be eligible for the office of the Vice-President.
• The Constitution sets specific qualifications for various political positions in India, and age requirements are among them.

Additional Information

• To be eligible for the position of Vice-President of India, certain qualifications must be met, as outlined in the Constitution of India. According to Article 66 of the Constitution, the following requirements must be fulfilled:
  • Citizenship: The candidate must be a citizen of India.
  • Age: The candidate must have attained the age of 35 years or above.
  • Qualifications: The candidate should be qualified for election as a member of the Rajya Sabha (the Upper House of Parliament).

Given:

P = Rs.8000

R = 20% per annum

Time = 6 months

Calculation:

By applying ratio method,

Since time = 6 months.

Rate = 20% per annum

So for 6 months rate = 10% = 1/10

⇒ 10 = 8000

⇒ 1 = 800

Compound Interest = Amount - Principal = 11 - 10 = 1

⇒ 1 = 800

∴ The correct answer is Rs. 800.

Statement 1: Mother’s age is 10 years more than her son's age. Statement 1 is not sufficient to answer the question as we don’t know the age of the son.

Statement 2: Son’s age is 24 years more than the daughter's age. Statement 2 is not sufficient to answer the question as we don’t know the age of the daughter.

Also, by combining both statements, we cannot find the age of the mother.

Hence, neither I nor II is sufficient to answer the question.

Given:

Radius of the cone = 10 cm

Height of the cone = 24 cm

Formula:

Total surface of area of a cone = πR(L + R)

Total surface area of the cone

⇒ π × 10 × (26 + 10)

⇒ 22/7 × 10 × 36

⇒ 7920/7 = 1131.428 ≈ 1131.43 cm²

∴ The total surface area of the cone is 1131.43 cm².

According to the English alphabet series and its positional value:

The logic follows here is:

So, from the figure, we can see that the missing term is JC6
