Under which of the following conditions are you most likely to fall sick?
(a) when you are taking examinations.
(b) when you have travelled by bus and train for two days.
(c) when your friend is suffering from measles.
Why?
(c) When your friend is suffering from measles then you are most likely to fall sick. This is because measles is an infectious disease which spreads through nasal or throat discharge i.e., through air. Thus, if your friend is suffering from measles, stay away from him otherwise you might easily get infected with the disease.

(b) 20 g of water
(c) 22 g of carbon dioxide.
