Answer:

A. Antithyroid peroxidase antibody

Explanation:

The most common cause of hypothyroidism is autoimmune thyroiditis, also known as chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis or Hashimoto's disease. This condition (autoimmune thyroiditis) is caused by damage of the thyroid gland, which occurs when antibodies of the immune system attack this gland. The thyroid peroxidase test is an enzyme immunoassay widely used to measure the level of autoantibodies against thyroid peroxidase. Patients with chronic thyroiditis often display a positive thyroid peroxidase test. On the other hand, thyroid ultrasound is useful for the initial evaluation of painless thyroiditis in order to distinguish nodules or multinodular goiter. Antithyroid peroxidase antibodies are commonly observed in individuals suffering autoimmune thyroiditis, whereas antithyroglobulin antibodies are observed in different thyroid disorders and autoimmune diseases. Finally, a radioiodine uptake scan measures the amount of radioactive iodine accumulated in the thyroid gland, which is useful only for diagnosing early‐stage of Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

ANEK [815]

Answer:

The net money the farmer will get

The farmer bought 5 kg seeds of rice at Rs. 100 per kg.

Cost price = 5 × 100 = Rs. 500

Selling price = 1000 × 40 = Rs. 40,000

The farmer's net profit

= (Selling Price) - (Cost Price) = 40,000 - 500 = Rs. 39,500
