1. Auxin 

2. A short day plant with single leaf will flower first Leaf receives the light stimulus and produce Florigen, It is then transported to the vegetative apex. As a result vegetative apex is converted into reproductive apex and bears oral leaves.

Gibberellins

The phenomenon by which the terminal apical bud suppresses the growth of lateral buds is referred to as apical dominance. This is because of the hormone auxin synthesised in the apical bud that inhibits lateral bud development.

This can be overcome by removing the apical bud (decapitating) and young leaves which will increase branching. It may also be possible to overcome this phenomenon by application of cytokinin and antiauxins like ethylene chlorohydrin, DCA (trichloroanisole), etc.

Producer equilibrium implies the situation where producer maximizes his output. It is also known as optimum combination of the factors of production. In short, the producer manufactures a given amount of output with ‘least cost combination of factors’ , with his given budget.

Optimum Combination of Factors implies either: There is output maximisation for given inputs or there is cost minimisation for the given output.

Conditions for Producer Equilibrium: The two conditions that are to be fulfilled for the attainment of producer equilibrium are: The iso – cost line must be tangent to iso – quant curve. At point of tangency, the iso-quant curve must be convex to the origin or MRTSLk must be declining.

Deductive method is also known as the abstract, analytical, hypothetical or a priori method. This method accepts certain universal truths or axioms and tries to deduce inferences about the particular event through a process of logical reasoning. In other words, deductive method goes from general to particular. 

For example, it is a universal truth that ‘man is mortal’. Since James is a man he is also mortal.

Inductive method is also known as Historical method, Concrete method, Analytical method and Realistic method. This method starts investigation on the basis of particular facts, historical events and tries to generalize them with reference to the whole economy. Induction is the process of reasoning by which we try to establish a causal relationship between two phenomena through an examination of a number of individual cases in order to get truth or generalize a phenomenon. Inductive method thus moves from particular to general. On the basis of real facts and particular events attempt is made to formulate general laws.

For example, we observe that Jack buys more rice when the price of rice falls. We further observe that James also purchases more rice at a lower price. Likewise, we observe the behaviour of many buyers of rice in the market. We find similarity in their behaviour and formulate a general law that “people purchase more rice at low prices.”

Economics sub divisions are: 

(I) Consumption:

• Human wants coming under consumption is the starting point of economic activity.
• In this section the characteristics of human wants based on the behaviour of the consumer, the diminishing marginal utility and consumer’s surplus are dealt with.

(II) Production:

• Production is the process of transformation of inputs into output.
• This division covers the characteristics and role of the factors of production namely land, labour, capital and organization.

(III) Exchange:

• Exchange is concerned with price determination in different market forms.
• This division covers trade and commerce.
• Consumption is possible only if the produced commodity is placed in the hands of the consumer.

(IV) Distribution:

• Production is the result of the coordination of factors of production.
• Since a commodity is produced with the efforts of land, labour, capital and organization, the produced wealth has to be distributed among the cooperating factors.
• The reward for factors of production is studied in this division under rent, wages, interest and profit.
• Distribution studies about the pricing of factors of production.

Given:

Total amount the man had = Rs. 8910

Ratio of shares between his three daughters Sakshi, Priya and Suhani = 7 : 11 : 9

Calculation:

Let the share of Sakshi, Priya and Suhani be 7x, 11x and 9x respectively

Total share of 3 daughters = (7x + 11x + 9x)

⇒ 27x

Now, difference between share of Priya and Suhani = 11x – 9x

⇒ 2x

Now, according to question

27x = Rs. 8910

⇒ 2x = (8910/27x) × 2x

⇒ Rs. (330 × 2)

⇒ Rs. 660

∴ The difference between share of Priya and Suhani is Rs. 660
