Consider both the masses as a unit system as they will move with common acceleration,
\({\mathrm{F}}_{1}=\mathrm{M_1}a\)
\(F_2=m_2a\)
\(F=F_1+F_2\)
\(=\left(\mathrm{m}_{1} +\mathrm{~m}_{2}\right){a}\)

\(a=15 / 10=1.5 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\)
a = 1.5 ms-2
Let \(\mathrm{F}_{2}\) be the force exerted on 2 kg mass, then
\({\mathrm{F}_{2}}=\mathrm{m_2} {a} \)
\({\mathrm{F}_{2}}=2 \times 1.5=3 \mathrm{~N}\)

Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder. It is characterized by increased blood glucose level due to insufficient, deficient or failure of insulin secretion. This is the most common pancreatic endocrine disorder.
Type I Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM):
(i) IDDM accounts for 10 to 20% of the known diabetics.
(ii) The condition also occurs in children (Juvenile onset diabetes) and young adults, the onset is usually sudden and can be life threatening.
(iii) This is caused by the destruction of cells of the pancreas.
(iv) It is characterized by abnormally elevated blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia) resulting from inadequate insulin secretion.
Causes: Genetic inheritance and environmental factors (infections due to virus, acute stress) are the cause for this condition.
Type II Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM):
(i) This is also called as adult onset diabetes and accounting for 80 to 90% of the diabetic population.
(ii) It develops slowly, usually milder and more stable.
(iii) Insulin production by the pancreas is normal but its action is impaired. (iv) The target cells do not respond to insulin.
(v) It does not allow the movement of glucose into cells.
Causes: The causes are multifactorial which include increasing age obesity, sedentary lifestyle, overeating and physically inactive.

| S. No |
Nuclear fission |
Nuclear fusion |
|---|---|---|
| i | The process of breaking (splitting) up of a heavy nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called "nuclear fission". | Nuclear fusion is the combination of two lighter nuclei to form a heavier nucleus. |
| ii | Can be performed at room temperature. | Extreme high temperature and pressure is needed. |
| iii | Alpha, beta and gamma radiations are emitted. | Alpha ray, Positron, and neutrinos are emitted. |
| iv | Fission leads to the emission of gamma radiation. This triggers mutation in the human genes and causes genetic transform diseases. | Only light and heat energy is emitted. No harmful radiation and will not cause any genetic transform diseases. |
| v | Deflected by both the fields; but the direction of deflection is opposite to alpha rays. (in accordance with Fleming's left hand rule). | They are not deflected by both fields. |
29.
(i) The object is always placed on the left side of the lens.
(ii) All the distances are measured from the optical centre of the lens.
(iii) The distances measured in the same direction as that of incident light are taken as positive.
(iv) The distances measured against the direction of incident light are taken as negative. (v) The distances measured upward and perpendicular to the principal axis is taken as positive.
(v) The distances measured downward and perpendicular to the principal axis is taken· as negative.

Based on the position of centromere, the chromosomes are classified as Telocentric, Acrocentric, Submetacentric andMetacentric.
(i) Telocentric - The centromere is found on the proximal end. They are rod shaped chromosomes.
(ii) Acrocentric - The centromere is found at the one end with a short arm and long arm. They are also rod - shaped chromosomes.
(iii) Submetacentric - The centromere is found near the centre of the chromosome. Thus forming two unequal arms. They are J

(iv) Metacentric - The centromere occurs in the centre of the chromosome and form two equal arms. They are V shaped chromosomes.

Outbreeding |
Inbreeding |
|---|---|---|
| i. | Cross between two different species (unrelated) with desirable features of economic value are mated. | Mating of closely related animals within the same breed for about 4 - 6 generations. |
| ii. | It is the breeding of unrelated animals. The offsprings formed are called hybrids. | Superior males and superior females of the same breed are identified and mated in pairs. |
| iii. | The hybrids are stronger and vigorous than their parents. E.g: Mule | It helps in the accumulation of superior genes and elimination of genes which are undesirable. E.g: Hisardale. |

Change in volume \((\Delta V)=0.3-0.25 =0.05\mathrm{~m}^{3}\)
Original volume \(\left(V_{0}\right)=0.3 \mathrm{~m}^{3}\)
Change in Temperature \(\Delta \mathrm{T}=50 \mathrm{~K}\)
\(a_{\mathrm{V}} =? \)
\(\frac{\Delta V}{V_{0}} =a_{\mathrm{V}} \Delta \mathrm{T}\)
\(a_{\mathrm{V}} =\frac{0.05}{0.3 \times 50}=\frac{0.05}{15}=0.0033 \mathrm{~K}^{-1}\)

(i) When people hear the word fossil, they probably think of gigantic leg bones and sharp teeth.
(ii) But, in appropriate conditions, after an animal dies even delicate body coverings like skin, hair and feathers can be preserved.
(iii) When it comes to preserving body parts, fossilized hair is rare.
37.
(i) Biofortification is the scientific process of developing crop plants enriched with high levels of desirable nutrients like vitamins, proteins and minerals.
(ii) Production of Bio fortification crops help in removing hidden hunger.
Examples:
(i) Protina, Shakti and Rathna are lysine rich maize hybrids (developed in India).
(ii) Atlas 66, a protein rich wheat variety.
(iii) Iron rich fortified rice variety.
(iv) Vitamin A enriched carrots, pumpkin and spinach.
(v) So in this way, Biofortification may help in removing hidden hunger.
38.
Step 1: The parent chain consists of 3 carbon atoms. The root word is 'Prop'.
Step 2: There are single bonds between the carbon atoms of the chain. So, the primary suffix is 'ane'
Step 3: Since, the compound contains - OH group, it is an alcohol. The carbon chain is numbered from the end which is closest to -OH group. (Rule 3)
Step 4: The locant number of –OH group is 1 and thus the secondary suffix is ‘1-ol’.
The name of the compound is Prop + ane + (1-ol) = Propan-1-ol
Note: Terminal ‘e’ of ‘ane’ is removed as per Rule 5
