Consider the given two statements:
| Statement I: | The root apical meristem and the shoot apical meristem are responsible for the primary growth of the plants and cause the increase in the girth of the organs in which they are active. |
| Statement II: | In dicotyledonous plants and gymnosperms, the lateral meristems, vascular cambium and cork-cambium principally contribute to the elongation of the plants along their axis. |
| 1. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect |
| 2. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct |
| 3. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect |
| 4. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct |

The difference between arithmetic and geometric growth in plants is that:
| 1. | Arithmetic growth involves an increase in size only, while geometric growth involves an increase in number |
| 2. | In arithmetic growth, one daughter cell continues to divide, while in geometric growth, both do |
| 3. | Arithmetic growth is exponential, while geometric growth is linear |
| 4. | Geometric growth involves cell division and enlargement, while arithmetic growth involves only division |

The exponential growth in plants can be expressed as: W1 = W0ert where ‘e’ denotes:
1. Initial size at the beginning of the period
2. base of natural logarithms
3. growth rate/elongation per unit time
4. time of growth
1. Initial size at the beginning of the period
2. base of natural logarithms
3. growth rate/elongation per unit time

Mathematically, arithmetic growth in plants is expressed as:
| 1. | Lt = L0 + rt | 2. | Lt = L0 X rt |
| 3. | Lt = L0 / rt | 4. | Lt = L0 - rt |

Quantitative comparisons between the growth of living system can be made in two ways where:
1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect
| I: | measurement and the comparison of total growth per unit time is called the absolute growth rate. |
| II: | the growth of the given system per unit time expressed on a common basis, e.g., per unit initial parameter is called the relative growth rate. |
1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect
