Which one of the given statements defines the term 'parturition'?

The beetle used as a biocontrol agent for aphids and mosquitoes is:

Read the following paragraph carefully and answer the given questions.
Certain types of leukocytes (WBC) of our body like polymorpho-nuclear leukocytes (PMNL-neutrophils) and monocytes and natural killer (type of lymphocytes) in the blood as well as macrophages in tissues can phagocytose and destroy microbes. For determining the cause of allergy, the patient is exposed to or injected with very small doses of possible allergens, and the reactions studied. The use of drugs like anti-histamine, adrenalin and steroids quickly reduce the symptoms of allergy. Heroin, commonly called smack is chemically diacetylmorphine which is a white, odourless, bitter crystalline compound. This is obtained by acetylation of morphine. Techniques like radiography (use of X-rays), CT (computed tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) are very useful to detect cancers of the internal organs. Different species of Plasmodium (P. vivax, P. malaria and P. falciparum) are responsible for different types of malaria. Of these, malignant malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum is the most serious one and can even be fatal.
Which one of the following drugs can not quickly reduce the symptoms of allergy?

Which of the following statements is NOT CORRECT.

If \(\tan ^{-1} x=y\), then

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions
The chemical reactions proceed at different rates which depend on various factors like concentration, temperature, etc. Rate law is an expression which relates the rate of reaction with concentration of various reacting species in the reaction. For a first order reaction, the concentration of the reactant after time \(t\) is related with its initial concentration by the relation, \(C=C_0 e^{-k t}\). The rate constants for different orders have different expressions. For a first order reaction, \(k=\frac{2.303}{t} \log \frac{a}{a-x}\), where \(a\) is the initial concentration and \(x\) is the extent of reaction.
A reaction which is first order with respect to the reactant \(A\) has a rate constant of \(6 min^{-1}\). If the reaction is started with \([A]=5.0 mol L ^{-1}\) when would \([A]\) reach the value of \(0.05 mol L ^{-1}\)

Which of the following statements are correct ?
(A) Determinant is a square matrix
(B) Determinant of a matrix of order \(3 \times 3\) is \(a_{11} c_{11}+a_{12} c_{21}+a_{13} c_{31}\left(a_{i j}=\right.\) element, \(c_{i j}=\) cofactor \()\)
(C) Determinant is a number associated with a matrix
(D) Determinant is a number associated with a square matrix
(E) Determinant of a matrix of order \(3 \times 3\) is \(a_{11} c_{11}+a_{12} c_{12}+a_{13} c_{13}\), where \(a_{i j}\) is the element, while \(c_{i j}\) is its corresponding cofactor

The values of \(\lambda\) for which the following system of equations has unique solution:
\(\begin{array}{l}\lambda x+3 y-z=1 \\x+2 y+z=2 \\-\lambda x+y+2 z=-1\end{array}\)

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, preasure 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 \(=k|A|^a[B]^y\)
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.
