Key Points

• Blood does not clot because RBCs contain oxygen.
• There are several reasons why blood does not clot when present in the circulatory system
• Heparin prevents blood from clotting in arteries.
• The cells that line the inside of blood arteries have a smooth surface. Blood begins to clot in contact with a rough surface. Therefore, this prohibits that.
• Endothelium's glycocalyx layer repels clotting agents and platelets, preventing clotting.
• Anticoagulant thrombomodulin is a protein that binds to and inactivates clotting factors V and VIII.
• Blood clot without any injury
• A blood clot may develop in an artery or vein without injury.
• These clots are harmful because they may obstruct blood flow.
• They are particularly harmful if fragments reach the brain or lungs.
• Blood-brain barrier
• The blood-brain barrier is a selective membrane formed of endothelial cells of the capillary wall that prevents any solute from passing through.
• The comparatively smooth and very flexible capillary walls prevent the formation of clots.
• Even though a blood clot is migrating, it is not permitted to cross the blood-brain barrier.

The logic followed here is :-

Second number = (First number ÷ Third number) × 2

1) 

= (72 ÷ 6) × 2

= 12 × 2

= 24

And

2) 

= (96 ÷ 12) × 2

= 8 × 2

= 16

Similarly,

3) 

= (108 ÷ 18) × 2

= 6 × 2

= 12

Hence, the correct answer is "12".

Given:

Ratio of principal and simple interest is

P : SI = 5 : 2

Concept used:

⇒ \(SI = {PNR \over 100}\)

Calculation:

From the given data,

Let,

⇒ SI = 2x

⇒ P = 5x

Substitute the values in the formula

⇒ \(SI = {PNR \over 100}\)

⇒ \(2x = {(5x)(N)(4) \over 100}\)

⇒ \(200x = {(20x)(N)}\)

⇒ \({200x \over 20x} = N\)

⇒ \(N = 10\)

∴ Number of years for which principal deposited was 10 years.
