The correct answer is about 70% water.

Important Points

• The Top Four Elements Found in the Human Body: oxygen (65%), carbon (18.5%), hydrogen (9.5%), nitrogen (3.2%).
• The other trace elements (less than 0.01%) are boron (B), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), fluorine (F), iodine (I), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), selenium (Se), silicon (Si), tin (Sn), vanadium (V), and zinc (Zn).
• The six major nutrients are carbohydrates (CHO), lipids (fats), proteins, vitamins, minerals, water.
• The functions of water in the human body:
  • Water carries nutrients and oxygen to all cells in the body.
  • Water is required for breathing.
  • Water regulates your body temperature.
  • Water protects and cushions vital organs.
  • Water cushions joints.
  • Water removes waste.

Key Points

• Calcium (Ca) is the most abundant mineral in the body and is essential for a number of vital functions.
  • Also helps muscles relax and contract, important in nerve functioning, blood clotting, blood pressure regulation, immune system health.
• Iron (Fe), Part of a molecule (haemoglobin) found in red blood cells that carries oxygen in the body, needed for energy metabolism.
• Iodine found in thyroid hormone, which helps regulate growth, development, and metabolism.
• Chromium works closely with insulin to regulate blood sugar (glucose) levels.

The correct answer is Dot Matrix.

Important Points

• Impact printer
  • Impact printer refers to a class of printers that work by banging a head or needle against an ink ribbon to make a mark on the paper.
  • The three most common forms of impact printers are:
    • Dot-matrix.
    • Daisy-wheel.
    • Line printers.

Key Points

• Dot-matrix Printers 
  • The technology behind dot-matrix printing is in such a way that the paper is pressed against a drum (a rubber-coated cylinder).
  • The electromagnetically-driven printhead moves across the paper and strikes the printer ribbon situated between the paper and printhead pin.
  • The impact of the printhead against the printer ribbon imprints ink dots on the paper which create human-readable characters.

Additional Information

• Laser Printer
  • ​A laser printer is a printer that uses a focused beam of light to transfer text and images onto paper. 
• Inkjet printer
  • ​Inkjet printers, as the name implies, use ink to print text, graphics, and images onto various types of paper. 
  • Inkjet printers, cartridges, and supplies are more widely available therefore cheaper than their thermal printer.
• Thermal printer​
  • Thermal printers use tiny heating elements to activate or transfer pigments.
  • Thermal printers are used most commonly to create labels, safety signs.

Thus, 

Dowry and child labour are punishable offences: Correct

Dowry and child labour are necessary evils: Incorrect

Dowry and child labour are common in the villages: Incorrect

Dowry and child labour are common in cities: Incorrect

Below are a few types of Unconditional Control Structures

The “break” Statement

A break statement terminates the execution of the loop and the control is transferred to the statement immediately following the loop. 

Syntax : Jump-statement;  break;

The “continue” Statement

The continue statement is used to bypass the remainder of the current pass through a loop.

 Syntax : Jump-statement;  Continue;

The “goto” Statement

C supports the “goto” statement to branch unconditionally from one point to another in the program.

Syntax :

goto label;
.............
.............
.............
label:
statement;

Return Statement :

The return statement terminates the execution of a function and returns control to the calling function. Execution resumes in the calling function at the point immediately following the call.

 Syntax : Jump-statement: return expression;

 Therefore answer is goto statement i.e, Option 4 

The correct answer is Atomic Energy.

Key Points

• A biomass energy source is one that is derived from organic matter.
• The source of atomic energy is radioactive metals which are of non-organic nature and thus cannot be classified as a biomass energy source.
