Football teams T_1 and T_2 have to play two games against each other. It is assumed that the outcomes of the two games are independent. The probabilities of T_1 winning. Drawing and losing a game against T_2 are (1)/(2),(1)/(6) and (1)/(3) respectively. Each team gets 3 points for a win. 1 point for a draw and 10 pont for a loss in a game.

Can two persons hear each other on moon's surface ? Give reason to support your answer.

A block of mass M is tied to one end of a massless rope. The other end of the rope is in the hands of a man of mass 2M as shown in Fig. The block and the man art resting on a rough wedge of mass M . The whole system is resting on a smooth horizontal surface. The man starts walking towards right while holding the rope in his hands. Pulley is massless and frictionless. Find the displacement of the wedge when the block meets the pulley. Assume wedge is sufficiently long so that man does not fall down.

STATEMENT -1 : In a tug of war game, the two teams always pull the masless rope with same magnitude of force . and STATEMENT -2 : The force exerted by any team on the rope is equal to tension developed in the rope which will be same at both the ends .
