Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): Growth, at the cellular level, is measured by a variety of parameters, some of which are: increase in fresh weight, dry weight, length, area, volume and cell number.
Reason (R): Growth, at a cellular level, is principally a consequence of an increase in the amount of protoplasm, and increase in protoplasm is difficult to measure directly.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A).
3. (A) is True; (R) is False.
4. (A) is False; (R) is True.

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:
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

In plants, during growth and development:
I: Turgidity of cells helps in extension growth.
II: Water provides the medium for enzymatic activities needed for growth.
III: Oxygen helps in releasing metabolic energy essential for growth activities.
IV: Nutrients (macro and micro essential elements) are required for the synthesis of protoplasm and act as source of energy.

1. Only I, II and III are correct
2. Only I, III and IV are correct
3. Only II, III and IV are correct
4.  I, II, III and IV are correct
