- Consider the diameter of a spherical object being measured with the help of a Vernier Callipers. Suppose its 10 Vernier Scale Divisions (V.S.D.) are equal to its 9 Main Scale Divisions (M.S.D.). The least count in the M.S. is 0.1 cm and the zero of V.S. is at -0.1 cm when the jaws of Vernier callipers are closed. If the main scale reading for the diameter is \(M = 5\) cm and the number of coinciding vernier division is 8, the measured diameter after zero error correction, is:

- A container has two chambers of volumes \(V_1 = 2\) litres and \(V_2 = 3\) litres separated by a partition made of a thermal insulator. The chambers contain \(n_1 = 2\) moles and \(n_2 = 3\) moles of ideal gas at pressures \(p_1 = 1\) atm and \(p_2 = 2\) atm, respectively. When the partition is removed, the mixture attains an equilibrium pressure of :

Seed
The matured and fertilized ovule, which comprises an active embryo reserve food and protective coating, is referred to as a seed. Seeds are ripened ovules that contain an embryonic plant with sufficient reserve food for embryo development. Ovules evolve into seeds after fertilization.
Types of Seed:
- Monocotyledonous seeds: Seeds having only one cotyledon, called monocotyledonous seeds.
- Dicotyledonous seeds: Seeds with two cotyledons, called dicotyledonous seeds.
- Albuminous seeds: Seeds having an endosperm. These seeds have thin membrane cotyledons and endosperm that hold on and feed the seedling during its early growth.
- Exalbuminous seeds: Food gathers in the endosperm tissue of exalbuminous seeds early in development, but it is utilized by the growing embryo and mature seeds without endosperm.
