The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Aspergillus niger is used in citric acid production.
Lactobacillus is used in yogurt and cheese making.
Trichoderma polysporum is a source of cyclosporin A (immunosuppressant).
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is used in baking and brewing.
Propionibacterium sharmanii is used in Swiss cheese production for its characteristic flavor.
Trichoderma polysporum is used pharmaceutically, not typically in household products.

Questions Asked in NEET exam
- Two identical charged conducting spheres A and B have their centres separated by a certain distance. Charge on each sphere is \(q\) and the force of repulsion between them is \(F\). A third identical uncharged conducting sphere C is brought in contact with sphere A first and then with sphere B and finally removed from both. New force of repulsion between spheres A and B (Radius of A and B are negligible compared to the distance of separation so that they can be considered as point charges) is best given as:

- 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:
