Examination of blood of a person suspected of having anaemia, shows large, immature, nucleated erythrocytes without haemoglobin. Supplementing his diet with which of the following, is likely to alleviate his symptoms ?
- Thiamine
- Folic acid and cobalamine
- Riboflavin
- Iron compounds
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Large, immature, nucleated erythrocytes without hemoglobin are characteristic of megaloblastic anemia, which can be caused by deficiencies in folic acid (vitamin B9) and cobalamin (vitamin B12). Supplementation with these vitamins can help improve the production of normal red blood cells and alleviate the symptoms of megaloblastic anemia. Iron compounds (option D) are typically used to treat other forms of anemia, such as iron-deficiency anemia.
So, the correct option is (B): Folic acid and cobalamine

- 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 :

Body Fluids and Circulation
Liquid substances in the animal or human body are known as body fluids. The human body consists of about 60-67% body fluids. The chief components of the human body fluids are blood and lymph. Blood comprises a matrix called plasma with blood corpuscles floating in it. The blood cells are white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. Lymph consists of lymph cells.

Types of Body Fluids:
The different types of body fluids:
Blood
The main components of blood involve;
- Plasma
- Red Blood Cells
- White Blood Cells
- Platelets
Lymph
A colorless fluid present in the interstitial tissues is lymph. It circulates all over the lymphatic system. It can be described as blood without the RBCs. The exchange of hormones, nutrients, and gases occurs via this fluid. It contains lymphocytes that play a major function in the immune responses of the body.
The movement of blood across the vessels of the body that carries nutrients and gases along with it and removes waste from the different parts of the body is circulation.
Types of Circulatory Systems:
There are two types of circulatory systems:
- Open Circulatory system
- Closed circulatory system
