Consider the following pairs:

- A. Vitamin A: Anaemia
- B. Vitamin C: Skin Diseases
- C. Vitamin D: Rickets
- D. Vitamin B1: Beri Beri

Which of the above pairs are correctly matched?
Explanation
Vitamin D deficiency causes Rickets (C is correct) and Vitamin B1 deficiency causes Beri Beri (D is correct). Vitamin A deficiency causes Night Blindness (Anaemia is due to iron deficiency), and Vitamin C deficiency causes Scurvy.
وٹامن D کی کمی سے ہڈیوں کی بیماری ریکٹس (Rickets) ہوتی ہے اور وٹامن B1 کی کمی سے بیری بیری (Beri Beri) ہوتی ہے۔ لہذا C اور D جوڑے درست ہیں۔

Which is not the amendment done to the IPC, 1860 Section 375?
Explanation
Section 375 of the IPC deals exclusively with sexual assault committed by a man against a female. Male children are protected under the POCSO Act, not Section 375 IPC.
آئی پی سی کی دفعہ 375 صرف خواتین کے خلاف جنسی زیادتی کی تعریف کرتی ہے۔ لڑکوں کے تحفظ کے لیے پاکسو (POCSO) قانون ہے، اس لیے دفعہ 375 کا یہ ترمیم لڑکوں کے لیے نہیں ہے۔

5📚🔭 ScienceFish Nutrition
Which of the following statements are true?
a. Wet feed has a moisture content of 18-45%
b. Moist feed has a moisture content of 18-45%
c. Sinking pellet feeds have a stability upto one hour
d. Floating pellet have high protein content
Explanation
Statements b and c are true: moist feed has a moisture content of 18-45% (wet feed contains >45% moisture), and sinking pellets generally possess water stability up to 1-3 hours. Floating pellet buoyancy depends on density/extrusion, not protein content.
بیانات b اور c درست ہیں: نم دار غذا (Moist feed) میں نمی کا تناسب 18-45 فیصد ہوتا ہے، اور ڈوبنے والے پیلٹس پانی میں ایک گھنٹے تک مستحکم رہ سکتے ہیں۔

Which of the following statements are true?
a. Phytase is a commonly used Enzyme additive in fish feed
b. Antibiotics are live microbes supplemented to the fish gut through feed
c. Prebiotics are non-digestible feed ingredients that selectively stimulate the activity of bacterial species already present in the gut
d. Organic acids are used as additive in feed
Explanation
Statements a, c, and d are correct. Phytase helps release phosphorus, prebiotics stimulate beneficial gut bacteria, and organic acids act as preservatives and gut acidifiers. Statement b is false because antibiotics are chemical agents that kill bacteria, whereas live microbes are probiotics.
بیانات a، c اور d درست ہیں۔ فائٹیز ایک اینزائم ہے، پری بائیوٹکس فائدہ مند گٹ بیکٹیریا کی نشوونما بڑھاتے ہیں، اور نامیاتی تیزاب خوراک کو خراب ہونے سے بچاتے ہیں۔ بیان b غلط ہے کیونکہ زندہ خوردبینی جانداروں کو پروبائیوٹکس کہتے ہیں۔

b. Protein efficiency ratio
c. Feed efficiency ratio
d. Net protein utilization

Formulas:
1. Weight gain / protein intake
2. Feed intake / weight gain
3. (Nitrogen retained / nitrogen absorbed) * 100
4. Weight gain / Feed taken

Match correctly:
Explanation
Matches: FCR = Feed Intake / Weight Gain (a:2); PER = Weight Gain / Protein Intake (b:1); FER = Weight Gain / Feed Taken (c:4); NPU = (Nitrogen Retained / Nitrogen Absorbed) * 100 (d:3). This matches Option B.
درست فارمولے: FCR = خوراک کی مقدار / وزن کا اضافہ (a:2)؛ PER = وزن کا اضافہ / پروٹین کی مقدار (b:1)؛ FER = وزن کا اضافہ / خوراک کی مقدار (c:4)؛ NPU = جذب شدہ نائٹروجن کا حاصل کردہ تناسب (d:3)۔ یہ آپشن B ہے۔

Which of the following statements are true?
a. Saddle back disease in fishes is caused by Flavobacterium columnare
b. Vitamin E deficiency leads to muscular deformity
c. Scoliosis is a muscular deformity

Explanation
Statements a and b are true. Columnaris (Flavobacterium columnare) infection is commonly referred to as saddleback disease. Vitamin E deficiency is known to cause nutritional muscular dystrophy/deformities in fish. Statement c is false (scoliosis is a lateral skeletal/backbone curvature). Statement d is false (whirling disease is caused by Myxobolus cerebralis, not gas supersaturation).
بیانات a اور b درست ہیں۔ سیڈل بیک بیماری کالم نارس بیکٹیریا کی وجہ سے ہوتی ہے اور وٹامن E کی کمی سے پٹھوں کی کمزوری/ڈیسٹروفی ہوتی ہے۔ بیانات c اور d غلط ہیں۔

44📚Food Processing, Preservation Techniques & PackagingHigh-Pressure Processing (HPP)
Which of the following food preservation methods is most effective in inactivating enzymes and microorganisms in foods without altering their texture and flavor?
Explanation
High-Pressure Processing (HPP / Pascalization, applying 400–600 MPa of isostatic hydrostatic pressure) disrupts non-covalent bonds in microbial membranes and vegetative cells at room temperature without breaking covalent flavor/color molecules, preserving fresh texture and nutritional flavor.
भोजन के स्वाद और बनावट को बदले बिना सूक्ष्मजीवों को निष्क्रिय करने की सबसे उन्नत गैर-ऊष्मीय विधि 'हाई-प्रेशर प्रोसेसिंग' (High-pressure processing / HPP) है।

III. HPP can inactivate vegetative cells but not bacterial spores.
IV. HPP involves pressures typically in the range of 100-600 MPa.
Explanation
Statements II, III, and IV are correct. HPP preserves sensory and nutritional attributes (II), inactivates vegetative cells while bacterial endospores survive at ambient pressures (III), and operates in the 100-600 MPa range (IV). Statement I is false because HPP is a non-thermal process.

'Black boxing' (iii) is an egg incubation practice to synchronize hatching, completely unrelated to larval nutritional deficiency. Thus, i, ii and iv (Option D) is correct.
रेशमकीट में पोषण संबंधी कमी से लार्वा का विकास अवरुद्ध होना (i), कोकून का वजन घटना (ii), और रेशम फिलामेंट की लंबाई कम होना (iv) होता है। ब्लैक बॉक्सिंग (black boxing) अंडों को सेने (incubation) की तकनीक है, पोषण का प्रभाव नहीं। अतः विकल्प D (i, ii and iv) सही है।
