The wording of the choices is really unclear.  With two resistors in parallel,
here's the situation:

-- The voltage across each resistor is the same as the voltage across
the other one.  If the parallel combination is connected to the battery,
then the voltage across each resistor is the full battery voltage.

-- The current through each resistor is (V) / (the resistance of that resistor).
That's the same current as would flow through that resistor if the other one
were not there.

-- As long as the battery or other power supply holds out, neither of these
quantities changes.

Can you match this situation to one of the choices listed ?
It looks to me as if choice 'C' is the one that's most likely
trying to say this.

Iodine-131 has a half life of 8 days, so half of it is gone every 8 days.
10 grams of iodine-131 is left for 24 days.
At 8 days: 10/2=5 grams left
At 16 days: 5/2=2.5 grams left
At 24 days: 2.5/2=1.25 grams left.
**
Your mistake is that you stopped at 16 days.

State any two effects of gravitational force​
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
Connection to Big Idea about energy: Gravity creates gravitational potential energy. Gravitational energy relies on the masses of two bodies and their distance.

Connection to Big Idea about the universe: Gravitational force is exerted by all objects with mass throughout the Universe. It is what keeps the Earth and the planets in orbit around the Sun, and our Solar System in orbit around the centre of the Milky Way. Gravity is one of the forces involved in the birth of stars, their evolution and finally their death.

Connection to Big Idea about Earth: The gravitational force is responsible for many physical properties of Earth and consequently it affects the existence and the properties of living creatures on it. For instance, the existence, the chemical composition and the structure of Earth’s atmosphere was determined by Earth’s gravitational force.

When a current of 0.015 A passes through human body at 240 volts p.d it<br><br>causes​
geniusboy [140]

Explanation:

Given that,

Current, I = 0.015 A

Voltage, V = 240 volts

We need to find the resistance. Using Ohm's law we can find it as follows :

V=IR\\\\R=\dfrac{V}{I}\\\\R=\dfrac{240}{0.015}\\\\R=16000\ \Omega

So, When a current of 0.015 A passes through human body at 240 volts p.d it  causes​  16000 ohms of resistance.
