45 Ans – (B)
The two car (say A and B) are moving with same velocity, the relative velocity of one
(say B) with respect to the other A, v BA = v B − v A = v − v = 0
So the relative separation between them (= 5 km) always remains the same.
Now if the velocity of car (say C) moving in opposite direction to A and B, is v C relative
to ground then the velocity of car C relative to A and B will be v rel. = v C − v
But as v is opposite to vC
So vrel = vc − (−30) = (vC + 30) km /hr.
d 4 5
So, the time taken by it to cross the cars A and B t =  =
vrel 60 vC + 30
 vC = 45 km / hr.

Abscisic Acid (ABA) is also known as ‘stress hormone’ or dormin, because it is
produced in much higher amounts, when plants are subjected to various kinds of
stresses. It often gives plant organs a signal that they are undergoing physiological
stresses such as lack of water, saline soil, cold temperature and frost. ABA often cause
responses that help plants and protect against these stresses.

Geitonogamy is a type of self-pollination. In other word geitonogamy is transfer of
pollen grain from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower of the same
plant.

compete for the active site of enzyme resulting to the decrease in the enzymatic
actively.
If we add lot of succinate then succinic acid dehydrogenase activity is increased so
production of fumaric acid is increased.
145 Ans.(b)
Sucrose is a disaccharide of glucose and fructose. It is a non-reducing sugar as it do
not contain any free anomeric carbon atom. Maltose is a disaccharide of 2 glucose
units. Its first glucose residue cannot undergo oxidation, whereas, second residue
