Q:

Blood group compatibility for marriage?

Answer

Matching blood group before marriage is important. This is to prevent Rh incompatibility. Rh incompatibility can lead to erythroblastosis fetalis (Hemolytic disease of the newborn-HDN). Fetal RBC gets destroyed & newborn may get severe anaemia, jaundice. This jaundice is more severe than Physiological jaundice ( which is the most common and will usually resolve on its own).


 


In very severe form, a fetus may die due to heart failure. This is mediated by the antigen-antibodies reaction. Transfer of maternal antibodies across the placenta occurs. This happens when Rh +ve man marries Rh-ve lady.


  


So Rh +ve man should try to avoid marrying Rh-ve lady.


 


Matching blood groups for marriage ::


Boy : A = Girl : A & AB 


Boy : B = Girl : B & AB 


Boy : O = Girl : O, A, B & AB 


Boy : AB = Girl : AB 


Boy : Rh+ve = Girl : Rh+ve 


Boy : Rh-ve = Girl : Rh+ve & Rh-ve.


  


Blood groups that do not match for marriage ::


Boy : A = Girl : O & B 


Boy : B = Girl : O & A 


Boy : AB = Girl : O, A & B 


Boy : Rh+ve = Girl : Rh-ve.

Q:

Bright light is found to emit from photographer’s flashgun. This brightness is due to the presence of which one of the following noble gases?

A) Argon B) Xenon
C) Neon D) Helium
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Xenon

Explanation:

Electronic Flash differs from the consumable bulb flash in important aspects. Instead of creating light by burning up in an atmosphere containing oxygen, a consumable material (each bulb being used therefore only once), it produces a brilliant incandescent by discharging a current for a brief instant through a rarified gas, usually xenon. The gas glows every time the discharge is made through it but it is not consumed, so that many thousands of flashes are obtainable from a single tube, which helps to offset the much higher cost of the initial apparatus.
