Answer: C) 31.4208 and 62.8416 Explanation: Birds speeds in mtrs/sec is 'x' and '2x' .While flying from Engine to end, relative speed = (x+10) m/secfrom end to engine, flying speed = (2x - 10) mtr/secso 1000/(x+10) + 1000/(2x-10) = 187.5 secssolving it, we getso x = 8.728 m/sec and 2x= 17.456 m/sec x = 31.4208 km/hr and 2x = 62.8416 km/hr.

Answer: A) Rich in Beta-Carotene Explanation: Golden Rice (Oryza sativa) denotes a genetically modified rice capable of biosynthesizing and accumulating β-carotene (provitamin A) in the endosperm, yielding a characteristic yellow color in the polished grains. Golden rice was developed to help cope with vitamin A deficiency, a problem that prevails in developing countries, affecting millions (Underwood, 2000; UNICEF, 2000). Vitamin A deficiency causes mortality and growth retardation in children and frequently impairs vision, leading to blindness. It also contributes indirectly to anemia by interfering with iron bioavailability.   The endosperm of Golden Rice (Oryza sativa) is yellow due to the accumulation of β-carotene (provitamin A) and xanthophylls. The product of the two carotenoid biosynthesis transgenes used in Golden Rice results in Pale Yellow color.
