An error would be reported in the statement k++ since arithmetic on void pointers is not permitted unless the void pointer is appropriately typecasted.

Gluconeogenesis is a metabolic pathway that leads to the synthesis of glucose from pyruvate and other non-carbohydrate precursors, even in non-photosynthetic organisms.

It occurs in all microorganisms, fungi, plants and animals, and the reactions are essentially the same, leading to the synthesis of one glucose molecule from two pyruvate molecules. Therefore, it is in essence glycolysis in reverse, which instead goes from glucose to pyruvate, and shares seven enzymes with it.

Pressure = (Net Force) / (Applied area) = Newton / square meters

Measuring units of pressure are:

. Pascal
. Bar
. Torr
. Pounds per square inch (psi)
. Standard atmosphere (atm).

Refractive Index of glass with respect to water can be calculated by 

(Refractive Index of glass with respect to air) × (1/Refractive Index of water with respect to air)

We know that,

Refractive Index of glass with respect to air = 4/3

Refractive index of water with respect to air = 3/2

Hence, Refractive Index of glass with respect to water = (4/3) x (2/3) = 8/9.

The Maharashtra government banned the sale of 'High in Fat, Salt and Sugar' (HFSS) food in school canteens across the state. Furthermore, schools have been asked to replace the junk food items with healthy food such as whole grain, home-made rotis, parathas, rice, etc. The government will form a committee to conduct regular checks on schools.
