Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Phylogeny (Gr. Phylon = tribe or race; geneia = origin) is the origin and diversification of any taxon or the evolutionary history of its origin and diversification. It is usually represented as a diagrammatic phylogenetic tree (that traces putative evolutionary relationships) i.e., dendrogram. Palaentology is the study of fossils. Ontogeny is the whole course of an individual's development and life history.

- The plates of a parallel plate capacitor are separated by d. Two slabs of different dielectric constant \(K_1\) and \(K_2\) with thickness \(d/2\) and \(d/2\) respectively are inserted in the capacitor. Due to this, the capacitance becomes two times larger than when there is nothing between the plates. If \(K_1 = 1.25 K_2\), the value of \(K_2\) is :
