- A-IV, B-Ill, C-II, D-I
- A-IV, B-II, C-III, D-I
- A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
- A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
A. Living Fossil: Latimeria (coelacanth) is a living fossil, a species that has remained relatively unchanged for millions of years and closely resembles ancient fossil forms. A-IV
B. Connecting Link: Echidna (spiny anteater) exhibits characteristics of both reptiles and mammals and is considered a connecting link between these two classes of vertebrates. B-III
C. Vestigial Organ: The vermiform appendix is a vestigial organ in humans, a structure that has lost most or all of its original function through evolution. C-II
D. Atavism: Elongated canine teeth (sometimes referred to as ”vampire teeth”) are an example of atavism in humans, the reappearance of an ancestral trait that had been lost in previous generations. D-I

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A : The potential (V) at any axial point, at 2 m distance(r) from the centre of the dipole of dipole moment vector\(\vec{P}\) of magnitude, 4 × 10-6 C m, is ± 9 × 103 V.
(Take \(\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}=9\times10^9\) SI units)
Reason R : \(V=±\frac{2P}{4\pi \epsilon_0r^2}\), where r is the distance of any axial point, situated at 2 m from the centre of the dipole.
