Question:
A student appears for a quiz consisting of only true-false type questions and answers all the questions. The student knows the answers of some questions and guesses the answers for the remaining questions. Whenever the student knows the answer of a question, he gives the correct answer. Assume that the probability of the student giving the correct answer for a question, given that he has guessed it, is \(\frac{1}{2}\) . Also assume that the probability of the answer for a question being guessed, given that the student’s answer is correct, is \(\frac{1}{6}\) . Then the probability that the student knows the answer of a randomly chosen question is

- A region in the form of an equilateral triangle (in x-y plane) of height L has a uniform magnetic field 𝐵⃗ pointing in the +z-direction. A conducting loop PQR, in the form of an equilateral triangle of the same height 𝐿, is placed in the x-y plane with its vertex P at x = 0 in the orientation shown in the figure. At 𝑡 = 0, the loop starts entering the region of the magnetic field with a uniform velocity 𝑣 along the +x-direction. The plane of the loop and its orientation remain unchanged throughout its motion.
Which of the following graph best depicts the variation of the induced emf (E) in the loop as a function of the distance (𝑥) starting from 𝑥 = 0? - Two beads, each with charge q and mass m, are on a horizontal, frictionless, non-conducting, circular hoop of radius R. One of the beads is glued to the hoop at some point, while the other one performs small oscillations about its equilibrium position along the hoop. The square of the angular frequency of the small oscillations is given by [ \(\epsilon_0 \)is the permittivity of free space.]

- A particle of mass 𝑚 is under the influence of the gravitational field of a body of mass 𝑀 (≫ 𝑚). The particle is moving in a circular orbit of radius \(𝑟_0\) with time period \(𝑇_0\) around the mass 𝑀. Then, the particle is subjected to an additional central force, corresponding to the potential energy 𝑉c(𝑟) = 𝑚𝛼/𝑟 3 , where 𝛼 is a positive constant of suitable dimensions and 𝑟 is the distance from the center of the orbit. If the particle moves in the same circular orbit of radius\( 𝑟_0\) in the combined gravitational potential due to 𝑀 and 𝑉c(𝑟), but with a new time period \(𝑇_1\), then\( (𝑇_1^2 − 𝑇_0^ 2 )/𝑇_1^ 2\) is given by [𝐺 is the gravitational constant.]
