Lord Ripon was the Viceroy of India from 1880 to 1884. He introduced Local Bodies (Local Self Governance) in 1882 and showed the taste of independence to Indians.

Colloids include gels, sols, and emulsions; the particles do not settle, and cannot be separated out by ordinary filtering or centrifuging like those in a suspension.

These Colloid substances consists of ultramicroscopic particles of one substance dispersed through another substance from which we cannot separate them.

Sugar water is not a colloid and it is a solution in which we can separate them.

Let the two different rates of interests be r1 and r2 respectively.

From the given data,

$$\begin{gathered} 2600 x 4 x r1 - r2100 = 402.80 \\ r1 - r2 = 402.80104 = 3.87 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the difference in the interest rates = 3.87

DNA stands for Deoxyribo nucleic acid. It is a nucleic acid made up of monomeric unit called Nucleotide.

A nucleotide consist of -

a) Sugar - Deoxyribose in DNA ( ribose in RNA)

b) An organic base- Adenine, cytosine, guanine.

Let the larger number be p

Then, smaller number = 1/6 x p = p/6

Given difference between two numbers = 25

p - p/6 = 25

5p/6 = 25

5p = 150

p = 30

Then, p/6 = 30/6 = 5

Hence, larger number = 30 and smaller number = 5 which makes the difference = 25.

In the thermite process, the reducing agent is Aluminium.

Phoebus Levene was an organic chemist in the early 1900's. He is perhaps best known for his incorrect tetranucleotide hypothesis of DNA. He is who studied the structure and function of nucleic acids.

The discovery of Identification of Ribose and Deoxyribose is attributed to Phoebus Levene.
