- It is an alphanumerical number that is A, B, C and D followed by a number.
- Each letter denotes a quarter of a year.
“A” means January to March,
“B” means April to June,
“C” means July to September,
“D” means October to December
- B – 13 means expiry date of cylinder is April 2013 to June 2013, so after that date you should not use the cylinder.

Q. (5) Which came first – The Egg or The Chicken?
- The egg laying animals lived long before the chicken arrived. So technically, the egg came before the chicken.
- Many years ago, when there were no chickens. An animal very identical to chicken (can also called proto - chicken) would have mated with other proto – chiken. The two organisms pass their genes in the form of DNA.
- Anyhow, the reproduction of DNA is never 100 % proper and usually produces a little change for the new organism. These little changes in DNA could create a new species over thousands of generations.
- The same happened with proto – chickens and the small genetic changes created the new species called chicken, which grew in egg.
