Read the following passage carefully and answer the given questions.
Theory of Evolution
The evolution of life is a gradual process through which simple organisms are transformed into complex life forms over billions of years. It involves genetic changes, adaptation to the environment, and the emergence of diversity in species. Fossil records provide evidence of extinct life forms and transitional stages. Evolution is influenced by factors such as mutation, genetic recombination, and environmental pressure, shaping the biodiversity we see today. Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace were pioneering naturalists who developed the theory of evolution by natural selection.
Which one of the following statements is not a connotation of the theory of special creation?

Match List-I with List-II
Let A and B are two events such that \(P ( A )=0.8, P ( B )=0.5, P ( B \mid A )=0.4\)

List-I	List-II
(A) \(P(A \cap B)\)	(I) 0.2
(B) \(P(A \mid B)\)	(II) 0.32
(C) \(P(A \cup B)\)	(III) 0.64

Read the Passage carefully and answer the Questions
Kinetic studies not only help us to determine the rate of a chemical reaction but also describe the conditions by which the reaction rates can be altered. The factors such as concentration, temperature, pressure and catalyst affect the rate of a reaction.
The speed of a reaction or the rate of a reaction can be defined as the change in concentration of a reactant or product in unit time.
Rate \(=k[A]^x[B]^y\)
Here \(k\) is the rate constant
\(x+y\) gives the overall order of a reaction, whereas \(x\) and \(y\) represent the order with respect to the reactants \(A\) and \(B\), respectively.
Which of the following statements are correct?
(A) Catalysts increase the rate of a chemical reaction.
(B) Catalysts can catalyze both spontaneous and non-spontaneous reactions.
(C) Higher the activation energy for a chemical reaction, lower is the rate of the reaction.
(D) Catalyst increases the potential energy barrier.
