Hence Correct Answer is Option A

Let us first learn the meanings of the given words:

Tag (verb): give a specified name or description to.

Label (verb): assign to a category, especially inaccurately or restrictively.

As the sentence is in passive voice, only a verb in third form will fit the blank. Thus, ‘labelled’ is an apt fit while ‘tag’ and ‘design’ are incorrect.

Hence, the correct answer is option B.

Insolvent and bankrupt are often used interchangeably to refer to financial situations where an individual or entity is unable to meet financial obligations. They both imply a lack of ability to pay debts. So, in this case, "bankrupt" is a synonym for "insolvent."

Up to one’s eyes/eyeballs (Idiom): to have a very large amount of something to do or be very busy with something; to emphasize the extreme degree of some undesirable or unwanted thing.
Tune up (Idiom): to prepare for something.
Dig in (Idiom): to start eating, esp. eagerly.
Crunch up (Idiom): to break someone or something up into piece.
It is obvious that ‘up to our eyes’ makes perfect sense in the given blank.
Hence, the correct answer is option D. 

Option (b) and (d) do not capture the essence of the passage. The passage indicates that how author has acclimatised to the surroundings as a means of survival and to set apart his loneliness. Option (a) comes closest to what is tried to be conveyed in the passage

From Statement 1:

We have, S visits the zoo immediately before Q, who visits on Friday.

Two persons visit between S and V.

From the statement, we cant find who visits zoo on sunday.

From Statement 2:

We have, only two people visits zoo after R.

V visits zoo two days before R.

Three people visits zoo between V and Q.

 From the statement, Q visits the zoo on Sunday.

Hence option D is correct.

1st term = 3
2nd term = 3 + 9 = 12
3rd term = 12 + 15 = 27
4th term = 27 + 21 = 48
5th term = 48 + 27 = 75
6th term = 75 + 33 = 108

Thus, the missing term is 7th term = 103 + 39 = 147

From Statement I:  From this statement, we have three possible scenarios as shown:

Clearly, Statement I alone is insufficient to answer the question.

From Statement II:

From this statement, we get the following table

Clearly, Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Now combining both the statements, we get,

Hence, option D is the correct answer.

P sits to the immediate left of S.

Hence, option A is correct.

The sequence is a combination of two series:

I. 19, 38, 114, (____)
II. 2, 3, 4

Considering Series I:
1st term = 19
2nd term = 19*2 = 38
3rd term = 38*3 = 114
Thus, the missing number is 4th term = 114 * 4 = 456

As, 68 = (4)³ + 4

    130 = (5)³ + 5

and 350 = (7)³ + 7

Therefore, ? = (6)³ + 6 = 222

The DNA in the nucleus of a cell is the information source for making proteins. If the information is changed, different proteins will be made.

Explanation:
In the compression region of a medium in the case of a longitudinal wave, the following changes occur:
1. Volume momentarily decreases:
- When a compression wave passes through a medium, the particles of the medium are pushed closer together.
- This compression causes a temporary decrease in the volume of the medium.
- The particles move closer to each other in the direction of the wave propagation.
2. Density momentarily increases:
- As the particles of the medium are pushed closer together, the mass per unit volume increases.
- This increase in mass per unit volume is known as density.
- Therefore, in the compression region, the density of the medium momentarily increases.
3. Pressure momentarily increases:
- The compression of the medium leads to an increase in the number of particles in a given volume.
- As a result, the collisions between the particles increase, resulting in an increase in pressure.
- Therefore, in the compression region, the pressure of the medium momentarily increases.
4. All of the above:
- The compression of the medium in a longitudinal wave leads to a decrease in volume, an increase in density, and an increase in pressure.
- Therefore, all of the above options A, B, and C are correct.
In conclusion, in the compression region of a longitudinal wave, the volume momentarily decreases, the density momentarily increases, and the pressure momentarily increases.

When the light travels through the glass, different spectrums of light travel through at different speeds. Spectrums with short wavelengths get slowed down much more than those with longer wavelengths. When light is slowed as it enters a medium it is refracted. That is, it changes direction. The more it's slowed, the further towards the “normal line” it will go. So slower light will bend more than faster light. The differences in speed that each spectrum of light has as it passes through the medium causes different angles of refraction, which in turn causes dispersion. As the light leaves the prism it disperses even more due to the light speeding up again. Because each spectrum travels at different speeds while in the glass they don't reach the other side at the same time. So, the red spectrum exits first and speeds up first while the blue or violet spectrum exits last and speeds up last.

Each dihybrid plant produces 4 gamete types of equal frequency. In the offspring F2 showed 4 different phenotypes : the round and yellow traits did not stay linked to each other. 

Alkyl halides are polar in nature, but they are almost insoluble in water. They can neither form Hydrogen bond nor they can break hydrogen bond between water molecules.

Hence, Option B is correct.

x : y = 75 : 100

Hence, Option C is correct.

Hence, Option D is correct.

a(18) – a(14) = 32
a(n) = a + (n – 1) x d
a + (17) x d – (a + 13 x d) = 32
(17) x d – (13) x d = 32
(4) x d = 32
d = 8
