- Two wires \(A\) and \(B\) made of different materials have lengths \(6.0\) cm and \(5.4\) cm, and areas of cross-sections \(3.0\times10^{-5}\,\text{m}^2\) and \(4.5\times10^{-5}\,\text{m}^2\), respectively. They are stretched by the same magnitude under the same load. If the ratio of Young’s modulus of \(A\) to that of \(B\) is \(x:3\), find the value of \(x\).

- Given below are two statements: Statement I: In the RNA world, RNA is considered the first genetic material evolved to carry out essential life processes. RNA acts as a genetic material and also as a catalyst for some important biochemical reactions in living systems. Being reactive, RNA is unstable.
Statement II: DNA evolved from RNA and is a more stable genetic material. Its double helical strands being complementary, resist changes by evolving repair mechanisms. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:- NEET (UG) - 2025
