Let A,B,C be vertices of a triangle ABC in which B is taken as origin of reference and position vectors of A and C are veca and vecc respectively. A line AR parallel to BC is drawn from A PR (P is the mid point of AB) meets AC and Q and area of triangle ACR is 2 times area of triangle ABC Position vector of R in terms veca and vecc is (A) veca+2vecc (B) veca+3vecc (C) veca+vecc (D) veca+4vecc

The figure below depicts life-histroy strategies for three plant species (a,b and c) along 3 axes : strength of competition with other organisms, level of distrubance in the habitat, and level of environmental stress in the habitat. Species a grows in habitats where competition among species b grown in habitats with and stress are low. Species b grows in habitats with high environmental stress but with low interspecies competition. Species c grows in highly disturbed habitats with low enviornmental stress. Which of the statements below is/are correct ? I. Characteristics of "a-type" plants are faster growth rate and short-lived leaves. II. Desert annual plants are "b-type" species. they have rapid growth and produce large amount of seeds in a short time after rains. III. Most plants belonging to "c-type" species would be herbaceous while "a-type" and "b-types" species are likely to be trees or shrubs.

A particle of mass 1 g and charge 2. 5 xx10^(-4) C is released from rest in an electric field of 1.2 xx 10^4 NC^(-1) (a) Find the electric force and the force of gravity acting on this particle. Can one of these forces be neglected in comparison with the other for approximate analysis? (b) How long will it take for the particle to travel a distance of 40 cm? (c) What will be the speed of the particle after travelling this destance? (d) how much is the work done by electric force on the particle during this period?

A car accelerates from rest at constant rate of 2ms^(-2) for some time. Immediately after this, it retards at a constant rate of 4ms^(-2) and comes to rest. The total time for which it remains in motion is 3 s. Taking the moment of start of motion as t = 0, answer the following questions. What is the average speed of the car for the journey . a. 2 m/s b. 3 m/s c. 1 m/s d. Zero

Read the following statement and find out the incorrect statement. (a). Asexual reproduction is common among single-celled organisms, and in plants and animals with relatively complex organisations. (b) In yeast, the division is unequal and small buds are produced that remain attached initially to the parent cell which eventually gets separated and mature into yeast organism (cells). (c). vegetative reproduction is also a type of asexual reproduction. (d) While in animals and other simple organisms the term vegetative reproduction is used unambiguously, in plants the term asexual reproduction is frequently used. (e) Water hyacinth is also called 'Terror of Bengal'

Carbon -14 used to determine the age of organic material. The procedure is absed on the formation of C^(14) by neutron capture iin the upper atmosphere. ._(7)N^(14)+._(0)n^(1) rarr ._(6)C^(14)+._(1)H^(1) C^(14) is absorbed by living organisms during photosynthesis. The C^(14) content is constant in living organism. Once the plant or animal dies, the uptake of carbon dioxide by it ceases and the level of C^(14) in the dead being falls due to the decay, which C^(14) undergoes. ._(6)C^(14)rarr ._(7)N^(14)+beta^(c-) The half - life period of C^(14) is 5770 year. The decay constant (lambda) can be calculated by using the following formuls : lambda=(0.693)/(t_(1//2)) The comparison of the beta^(c-) activity of the dead matter with that of the carbon still in circulation enables measurement of the period of the isolation of the material from the living cycle. The method, however, ceases to be accurate over periods longer than 30000 years. The proportion of C^(14) to C^(12) in living matter is 1:10^(12) . A nuclear explosion has taken place leading to an increase in the concentration of C^(14) in nearby areas. C^(14) concentration is C_(1) in nearby areas and C_(2) in areas far away. If the age of the fossil is determined to be T_(1) and T_(2) at the places , respectively, then

Industrial melanism in peppered moth occurred due to natural selection . The significant reason for this is (a) the light coloured white moths could not be noticed by predatory birds after deposition of soots on bark of trees (b) mutation in light coloured moths due to increase in industrial pollution (c) advantageous selection of black moths on tree in polluted areas, resulting in increase population of black moths (d) advantageous selection of white moths on tree in polluted areas, resulting in increased population of white moths
