Three blocks $A, B$ and $C$ are lying on a smooth horizontal surface, as shown in the figure. $A$ and $B$ have equal masses, $m$ while $C$ has mass $M$. Block $A$ is given an brutal speed $v$ towards $B$ due to which it collides with $B$ perfectly inelastically. The combined mass collides with $C$, also perfectly inelastically $\frac{5}{6}$ th of the initial kinetic energy is lost in whole process. What is value of $M/m$ ?

Three Carnot engines operate in series between a heat source at a temperature $T_1$ and a heat sink at temperature $T_4$ (see figure). There are two other reservoirs at temperature $T_2$, and $T_3$, as shown, with $T_2 > T_2 > T_3 > T_4$ . The three engines are equally efficient if:

Two masses $m$ and $\frac{m}{2}$ are connected at the two ends of a massless rigid rod of length $l$. The rod is suspended by a thin wire of torsional constant $k$ at the centre of mass of the rod-mass system(see figure).
