In biology, symmetry refers to the arrangement of body parts around a central axis. Radial symmetry is a type of symmetry where body parts are arranged around a central point, like spokes on a wheel. This form of symmetry is common in certain animal phyla, mainly those in aquatic environments.
Let's examine the phyla mentioned in the options to determine which one does not exhibit radial symmetry in adults:
Based on this analysis, radial symmetry is NOT found in adults of the phylum Hemichordata.

A | Pleurobrachia | I | Mollusca |
B | Radula | II | Ctenophora |
C | Stomochord | III | Osteichthyes |
D | Air bladder | IV | Hemichordata |
A sphere of radius R is cut from a larger solid sphere of radius 2R as shown in the figure. The ratio of the moment of inertia of the smaller sphere to that of the rest part of the sphere about the Y-axis is :
The current passing through the battery in the given circuit, is:
A bob of heavy mass \(m\) is suspended by a light string of length \(l\). The bob is given a horizontal velocity \(v_0\) as shown in figure. If the string gets slack at some point P making an angle \( \theta \) from the horizontal, the ratio of the speed \(v\) of the bob at point P to its initial speed \(v_0\) is :
