B will have lower circulating level of ADH than A
The level of ADH will not change in these two individuals
The reabsorption of water in kidney will be more in A than B
The different waves of normal electrocardiogram (ECG) of a human subject are shown below: The relationship of the events of cardiac cycle to these ECG waves are proposed in the following statements:
(a) The P wave occurs due to the depolarization of atria
(b) The atrial repolarization is responsible for the T wave
(c) The QRS complex occurs during ventricular depolarization
(d) Q-T interval indicates plateau portion of auricular action potential

(a) and (b)
(b) and (c)
(c) and (d)

The normal ECG consists of a P wave, a QRS complex, and a T wave. A wave representing repolarization of the atria cannot be seen because it occurs during the QRS complex. The time between the beginning of the P wave and the beginning of the QRS complex is the PQ or PR interval, during which the atria contract and begin to relax. The ventricles begin to depolarize at the end of the PR interval. The QT interval extends from the beginning of the QRS complex to the end of the T wave represents the approximate length of time required for the ventricles to contract and begin to relax.
The excitation of auditory hair cells by the displacement of stereocilia has been explained in the following proposed statements:
(a) The gradual increased height of stereocilia is required for the transduction process
(b) The changes of membrane potential of auditory hair cells are proportional to the direction and magnitude of the displacement of stereocilia
(c) The higher concentration of K+ in endolymph and higher concentration of Na+ in perilymph are not required for the excitation of hair cells.
(d) The mechanically sensitive cation channels on the top of stereocilia are not adapted to maintain displacement of stereocilia
