India changed over to the decimal system of coinage in

A) 1947 April B) 1957 April
C) 1956 April D) 1949 April
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1957 April

Explanation:

India switched from the rupee, pie system to decimal currency on 1 April 1957. The decimalisation of currencies is the process of converting each country's currency from its previous non-decimal denominations to a decimal system, with one basic unit of currency and one or more sub-units, such that the number of sub-units in one basic unit is a power of 10, most commonly 100).


In India, Pakistan, and other places where a system of 1 rupee = 16 annas = 64 paise = 192 pies was used, the decimalisation process defines 1 naya paisa = ​1⁄100 rupee.

Q:

Which of the following is true about veins?

A) Veins carry blood away from the heart, while arteries carry blood to the heart. B) Veins are more muscular than arteries.
C) Veins have valves; arteries do not. D) Veins have a smaller diameter lumen than arteries.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Veins have valves; arteries do not.

Explanation:

Veins are blood vessels that carry blood toward the heart. Most veins carry deoxygenated blood from the tissues back to the heart; exceptions are the pulmonary and umbilical veins, both of which carry oxygenated blood to the heart. In contrast to veins, arteries carry blood away from the heart.

 

Veins are less muscular than arteries and are often closer to the skin. There are valves in most veins to prevent backflow.
