Which of the following statements is correct regarding the oxidation number of Oxygen? I. The oxidation number of Oxygen in most compounds is -2. II. When Oxygen is bonded to Fluorine in compounds like Oxygen difluoride and Dioxygen diflouride, the Oxygen is assigned an oxidation number of +2 and +2 respectively.

Some pens are divided among P, Q, R, and S. P gets twice the number of pens that Q gets. R gets the same number of pens as S gets. If P gets 25 pens more than S and the ratio of the number of pens that Q and R get 2 : 3, then what is the number of pens that S gets?
A sum of Rs. 12,500 is distributed among A, B, C and D such that A gets Rs. 800 more than what B gets, C gets twice of what B gets and D gets Rs. 900 more than what A gets. The ratio in which D, C, B and A receive the sums is:
In a well aerated and agitated microbial culture, the 'supply' of oxygen is equal to 'demand' (uptake) of the growing culture. The KLa for such a system will be (KLa = volumetric mass transfer coefficient, C* = dissolved oxygen concentration in liquid in equilibrium with gaseous oxygen, C = instantaneous value of dissolved oxygen concentration, 'r' = specific oxygen uptake rate per unit weight of cells, X = dry weight of the cells per unit volume)
The correct relation between theoretical oxygen demand (TOD), Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and Chemical oxygen demand (COD) is given by
By studying all following options, select a pair that uses most closely similar reasoning. a. Researchers have looked at the communication between different animals and found that meerkats have a series of alerts and calls that fail into two categories, greetings and alarms. Since we can be sure that this meerkat is not calling as a greeting, we must accept that he is attempting to raise the alarm. b. Farmers must choose between using organic or non-organic fertilisers on their land. Organic fertilisers can produce a lower crop yield and farmers may find it difficult to change to organic methods if they have been using non-organic methods for some time. Farmers should, therefore, consider the longer-term impacts of their decisions. c. Either young persons are getting cleverer each year or examinations are becoming easier for students to pass. Since there is very little evidence from IQ testing and other supposed benchmarks that young persons are more intelligent now than in the past, we must conclude that the examination system is easier for students today than it was in the past. d. Closed wood burning chulhas are a better way to cook your food than open fire chulhas. Closed wood burning chulhas are highly efficient, whereas the open fire of open fire chulhas loses a great deal of heat in the air. More people should, therefore, use closed wood burning chulhas in their homes.
Biochemical oxygen demand or BOD is a test of the amount of oxygen needed for bacteria to break down the organic matter in a water sample over a period of
