How is permaculture farming different from conventional chemical farming? 1. Permaculture farming discourages monocultural practices but in conventional chemical farming, monoculture practices are predominant. 2. Conventional chemical farming can cause an increase in soil salinity but the occurrence of such phenomenon is not observed in permaculture farming. 3. Conventional chemical farming is easily possible in semi-arid regions but permaculture farming is not so easily possible in such regions. 4. Practice of mulching is very important in permaculture farming but not necessarily so conventional chemical farming Select the correct answer using the code given below.  
Which chemical used as a lyc-peeling?
Chemical mixtures X consist of chemicals A and B in ratio of 1 : 3, Chemical Y consist of chemicals A and B in ratio of 3 : 2. Chemical X is present in vessel whose capacity is 2 / 5 times that of vessel in which chemical Y is present. Both the chemicals X and Y are mixed in a large container. What is % of concentration is present in final mixture as A?
Product X is produced by mixing chemical A and chemical B in the ratio of 5 : 4. Chemical A is prepared by mixing two raw materials, P and Q, in the ratio of 1 : 3. Chemical B is prepared by mixing raw materials, Q and R, in the ratio of 2 : 1. Then the final mixture is prepared by mixing 8640 units of product X with water. If the concentration of the raw material Q in the final mixture is 50%, how much water had been added to product X?
Ratio of chemical A and B in boiler Y is 3 : 2 and Boiler X has ratio of chemical A to chemical B as 1 : 7, 16 litres of mixture is removed transferred from boiler X to boiler Y. What is the total capacity of boiler Y if capacity of boiler X is 144 litres and difference between chemical A and B in boiler Y after transfer is 25 litres? Assume that after transferring 16 litres from boiler X, boiler Y is running at full capacity
