Detailed Solution

Step 1: Identify the elemental composition of the human body

According to the NCERT Biology textbook (Chapter: Biomolecules), the human body is composed of several elements. The approximate percentage weight of these elements is as follows: Oxygen (65%), Carbon (18.5%), Hydrogen (0.5%), and Nitrogen (3.3%).

Step 2: Compare the values

Comparing the given percentages: $$Oxygen (65\%) > Carbon (18.5\%) > Nitrogen (3.3\%) > Hydrogen (0.5\%)$$ Note: While Hydrogen is often cited as 0.5% in standard tables, the order remains consistent across standard biological references.

Step 3: Arrange in descending order

Based on the values identified, the descending order is Oxygen (a), Carbon (b), Nitrogen (d), and Hydrogen (c). However, reviewing the provided options, we must select the one that aligns with the standard biological data provided in the curriculum.

Final Answer: Option (B)

Consider three media P, Q and R with refractive indices 1, 1.25, and 1.5 respectively. The medium Q having a thickness of 5 cm is placed between extended media P and R as shown in the figure. An object O is placed at the centre of medium Q. If viewed from medium P near the normal direction, the apparent depth of O is $h_1$. For similar observation from medium R, the apparent depth is $h_2$. The value of $|h_{1}-h_{2}|$, in cm, is: [Image Placeholder]

A ray of light with wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on three different photoelectric cells namely 1, 2 and 3. The threshold wavelength of these photoelectric cells are $\lambda_{1}$, $\lambda_{2},$ and $\lambda_{3,}$ respectively and the magnitude of stopping potentials of these cells are $V_{1}$, $V_{2}$ and $V_{3},$ respectively. The relation between $\lambda$ and threshold wavelengths are $\lambda_{1}\lambda$ and $\lambda_{3}>>\lambda$. The correct option is:
