Dipa Karmakar performed it at the Rio Games of 2016, where she became the first Indian woman gymnast to qualify for the Olympics and finished fourth in the vault final.

It governs artistic, rhythmic, trampoline, acrobatic and aerobic gymnastics and sets the code of points by which routines are scored.

The correct answer is C, Nadia Comaneci of Romania, who received the first perfect ten in Olympic gymnastics at the Montreal Games of 1976, at the age of fourteen; the scoreboard of the day could show only three digits and displayed her mark as 1.00.

The men's programme has six apparatus, the floor exercise, pommel horse, still rings, vault, parallel bars and horizontal bar, and of these the pommel horse, the rings, the parallel bars and the horizontal bar appear in no women's event.

Powerlifting is made up of three lifts, the squat, the bench press and the deadlift, in none of which the bar finishes overhead, and the sport is not on the Olympic programme; para powerlifting, contested at the Paralympic Games, is the bench press alone.

Karnam Malleswari took bronze there and became the first Indian woman ever to win an Olympic medal, a feat that earned her the popular title Iron Lady of India.

Olympic weightlifting consists of the snatch and the clean and jerk, and a competitor is allowed three attempts at each; the best valid lift in each is added to give the total that decides the medal.

It hastens the ripening of fruit, encourages leaves and flowers to drop and is used commercially in the form of ethephon to ripen mangoes, bananas and tomatoes evenly; a ripe fruit kept with unripe ones ripens them because it gives off ethylene.

The potato is an underground stem tuber, and the proof is on its skin: the hollows called eyes are axillary buds with tiny scale leaves, and buds of this kind are never found on a true root.

Once fertilisation is complete, the ovary enlarges and ripens into the fruit, and its wall becomes the pericarp that may be fleshy, as in a mango, or dry, as in a pea pod.

Their pollen tube carries two male gametes into the ovule; one fuses with the egg to form the diploid zygote, which is syngamy, and the other fuses with the two polar nuclei to form the triploid primary endosperm nucleus, which is triple fusion.

A stamen is the male reproductive unit of a flower and has just two parts: a stalk called the filament and a swollen head called the anther, in which pollen grains are produced.

The gas is first fixed in the mesophyll cells by the enzyme PEP carboxylase on to a three-carbon acceptor, and the pathway is named after Hatch and Slack.

Here the ATP and NADPH made in the light reaction are spent on fixing carbon dioxide into carbohydrate.

In the light reaction, water absorbed by the roots is split in the presence of light and chlorophyll, a step called photolysis of water or the Hill reaction.

Chlorophyll is built on a ring structure with a single magnesium atom held at its centre, and because magnesium is needed to make the pigment, a plant short of magnesium develops chlorosis, the yellowing of leaves between the veins.

In photosynthesis a green plant absorbs sunlight through chlorophyll and uses that energy to join carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrate.

This is the complement law for addition, which corresponds to the OR operation. Whatever value A takes, one of A and its complement must be 1, and an OR gate gives 1 whenever any input is 1, so the expression is 1 in both cases.

Each input can take one of two values, so for three inputs the number of distinct combinations is two multiplied by itself three times, that is two raised to the power three, which is eight.

It is the only gate that takes a single input, and it simply reverses the logic level it receives, giving 1 for an input of 0 and 0 for an input of 1; because the output is the inverse or complement of the input, the circuit is called an inverter.
