[ "12", "13", "14", "15" ]
A
look at the below representation of the problem : steel chrome total a 2 3 40 > > no . of type a machines = 40 / 5 = 8 b 3 5 32 > > no . of type b machines = 32 / 8 = 4 so the answer is 12 i . e a . hope its clear .

[ "fourth", "second", "third", "first" ]
B
The Calvin cycle occurs in the second stage of photosynthesis. This stage takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast. In the Calvin cycle, carbon dioxide is used to produce glucose (sugar) using the energy stored in ATP and NADPH. The energy is released from these molecules when ATP loses phosphate (P i ) to become A...
