The Lyman series (\(n \geq 2 \to n=1\)) involves transitions to the lowest energy level, releasing the most energy. The series limit of Lyman series gives the shortest possible wavelength (91.2 nm in UV region).
Order of wavelengths: Lyman < Balmer < Paschen < Brackett
Draft statement of financial position: Ordinary share capital $900,000; Share premium $80,000; General reserve $96,000; Retained earnings (opening) $230,000; Profit for year $145,000. What is the maximum dividend the company can declare?
Option C ($471,000) is correct.
Dividends can only be paid from distributable (revenue) reserves:
- Retained earnings: $230,000
- Profit for year: $145,000
- General reserve: $96,000
Total = $471,000
Share premium ($80,000) is a capital reserve — not distributable.
Direction of induced current is given by:
Lenz's law: induced current opposes the change in flux.
A humanities course reading list has 10 books total: 4 are biographies and 6 are novels. Each student must choose 4 books, with at least 2 biographies required. How many valid 4-book selections are possible?
We need to count selections of 4 books that include 2 or more biographies (from 4 biographies and 6 novels).
Case 1 — Exactly 2 biographies + 2 novels:
$\binom{4}{2} \times \binom{6}{2} = 6 \times 15 = 90$
Case 2 — Exactly 3 biographies + 1 novel:
$\binom{4}{3} \times \binom{6}{1} = 4 \times 6 = 24$
Case 3 — Exactly 4 biographies + 0 novels:
$\binom{4}{4} \times \binom{6}{0} = 1 \times 1 = 1$
Total $= 90 + 24 + 1 = \mathbf{115}$.
Signs of placental separation are critical knowledge for midwives. The question describes Küstner's sign:
- When the suprapubic area is pressed, if the cord does not retract back = placenta has separated.
However, the combination described — firm/globular uterus + cord lengthening + uterus rising — collectively represents classic signs of placental separation. Among the options:
- Küstner's sign: Cord does not retract when suprapubic pressure applied = separated.
- Calkin's sign: Uterus becomes firm, globular, and rises above umbilicus.
- Schultze mechanism: Placenta separates centrally (fetal surface first) — more common (~80%).
- Duncan mechanism: Separates from edges first — maternal surface presents first.
The specific sign of cord lengthening + uterine globular rise together is Küstner's sign as the primary distinguishing clinical sign taught in Pakistani nursing exams.
