Question
The presence of certain toxic compounds in seeds can
lead to severe health issues if ingested. Which alkaloid, found in the seeds of Argemone mexicana, is known to cause serious toxicity, leading to conditions such as blindness and even death when consumed in contaminated food products?Solution
The seeds of Argemone mexicana contain the toxic alkaloid sanguinarine, which can cause severe poisoning, leading to blindness and death if consumed.
The speed of the stream is 12 km/h, and the speed of the boat in still water is 50% greater than the speed of the stream. Calcula...
Ratio of speed of boat in downstream and speed of stream is 5:3, if speed of current is 9 km/hr, then find distance travelled (in km) upstream in 8 hours.
A man can row at 4 kmph in still water. If the velocity of current is 3 kmph and it takes him 8 hour to row to a place and come back, how far is the place?
The speed of Boat is given as 20 km/hr and 28 km/hr while travelling to Upstream and downstream individually.Then, the boat travelled for ‘T’ hours ...
A man can row his boat with the stream at 22 km/h and against the stream in 7 km/hours. The man’s rate isÂ
If the sum of upstream and downstream speed is 20 km/hr and the speed of the current is 5 km/hr. Then find time taken to cover 45 km in downward?
A man swims downstream 81 km and upstream 45 km, taking 9 hr each time. Find the man’s rate in still water?  Â
When travelling downstream, a boat takes 7 hours to travel 280 km. If the speed of the stream is (2/5)th of downstream speed of the boat, the...
A boat covers 13 km upstream in 52 min. If the speed of the current is 3 km / h, then in how much time will it cover 40 km downstream?
A boat goes 5 km an hour in still water, but takes twice as much time in going the same distance against the current. The speed of the current (in km/ho...
