Answer is b. Phylogeny refers to the evolutionary history of a taxonomic group of organisms. It is essential in the
scientific study of the identification, classification, ecology, and evolutionary histories of organisms, which is
systematics. Phylogeny shows the relationships between groups of organisms (taxa) particularly the differences and
similarities among them. Phylogeny is represented by a tree diagram called phylogenetic tree. A closely related
branch of science that makes use of phylogenetic tree diagrams to study evolutionary histories and relatedness
among various groups of organisms is phylogenetics. The relatedness between taxa is usually demonstrated
through molecular sequencing data and morphological data matrices. Thus, phylogeny is essential in understanding
biodiversity, genetics, evolutions, and ecology among groups of organisms. Taxonomy without phylogeny is like
bone without flesh is a statement by Takhtajan. It provides the importance of phylogeny in the process of
classification.

a) 1000 kg
b) 56 kg
c) 44 kg
d) 100 kg
Answer is d. 1 mole of limestone produces 1 mole of carbon dioxide and 1 mole of lime or calcium oxide. The molar
mass of limestone is 100 g (= mass of Ca + mass of C + 3 x mass of O = 40 + 12 + 3 x 16). Similarly, the molar
mass of lime is 56 g. Thus, we can also say that 100 g of limestone produces 56 g of lime. Or, 1 g of lime is
produced by 100/56 g limestone. Thus, 56 kg of lime will be produced by 100/56 x 56 kg = 100 kg. So, in order to
obtain 56 kg of lime, we need to heat 100 kg of limestone.

Answer is d. Normality = mass/eq.mass x 1000/volume of solutions( ml); Morality = mass/ molar mass x 1000/
volume of solution (ml) and Eq. mass = Molar mass/ n factor or normality = Mass/molar mass/ n factor x 1000/
volume of solution (ml) = mass/molar mass x 1000/ volume of solution (ml) x n factor = molarity x n factor. For H3PO
4, n = 3 So normality = 1x3 = 3N
