पुढील दोन विधानांचा विचार करा : वरील कोणते विधान योग्य आहे ? Consider the following two statements : Now state which of the two above statements is correct ?
(a)मानवीय इन्स्युलिन 1982 पावेतो उपलब्ध नव्हते. / Human insulin was not available until 1982.
(b)तोपर्यंत इन्स्युलिन मांस कारखान्यातून मुख्य उत्पादन म्हणून उपलब्ध व्हावयाचे. / Insulin until then was the major product of meat industry.
Human insulin was successfully produced using recombinant DNA technology in 1978 (marketed in 1982), but prior to that, insulin was extracted from animal pancreases (pigs and cattle), not strictly meat factories as a primary planned product in that exact phrasing, making both statements inaccurate in their specific contexts.
Which of the following statements are false in the context of the given passage ?
(a)Aristotle told us that tree trunks add a new ring every year.
(b)All types of trees contain dark and light bands.
(c)Trees contain the record of their age only.
(d)Human beings have unlocked all the secrets contained in trees.
All four statements contradict the passage: (a) it was Leonardo da Vinci, not Aristotle, who suggested a ring is added every year; (b) the bands are absent in many tropical trees; (c) trees record precipitation, temperature, fires and more, not only their age; (d) the passage says 'if we only knew how to unlock its secrets', so we have not unlocked them all. Hence a, b, c and d are all false.
