Question:
(b) Mention what does ‘K’ in the graph represent.
(b) Mention what does ‘K’ in the graph represent.
Show Hint
Exponential growth occurs when resources are abundant, while logistic growth occurs when resources become limited, leading to stabilization at carrying capacity.

- Assertion (A): A ray of light is incident normally on the face of a prism. The emergent ray will graze along the opposite face of the prism when the critical angle at glass-air interface is equal to the angle of the prism.
Reason (R): The refractive index of a prism depends on angle of the prism. - Centurian Ltd. invited applications for issuing 2,00,000 equity shares of ₹ 10 each at a premium of ₹ 20 per share. The amount was payable as follows: On Application and Allotment – ₹ 20 per share (including premium ₹ 17 per share)
On First and Final call – ₹ 10 per share (including premium ₹ 3 per share)
Applications were received for 3,00,000 equity shares and allotment was made to the applicants as follows: (i) Applicants for 2,00,000 shares were allotted 1,50,000 shares.
(ii) Applicants for 1,00,000 shares were allotted 50,000 shares.
Excess money received on application and allotment was adjusted towards sums due on first and final call. Deepali, who had applied for 2,000 shares, failed to pay the first and final call money. Her shares were subsequently forfeited. Deepali belonged to Category (i).
