If $A=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -2 \\ 4 & 5 \end{bmatrix}$ and $f(t)=t^2-3t+7$,then $f(A)+\begin{bmatrix} 3 & 6 \\ -12 & -9 \end{bmatrix}$ is equal to

Choose the incorrect statement from the following:
$S1:$ The efficiency of a heat engine can be $1$,but the coefficient of performance of a refrigerator can never be infinity.
$S2:$ The first law of thermodynamics is basically the principle of conservation of energy.
$S3:$ The second law of thermodynamics does not allow several phenomena consistent with the first law.
$S4:$ $A$ process,whose only result is to transfer heat from a colder to a hotter object,is impossible.

Four diatomic species are listed below. Identify the correct order in which the bond order is increasing in them:

$Ge$ and $Si$ diodes conduct at $0.3\,V$ and $0.7\,V$ respectively. In the following figure,if the $Ge$ diode connection is reversed,the value of $V_0$ changes by......$V$.

Let $f: R \rightarrow R$ be defined by $f(x) = \begin{cases} x+2, & x \leq -1 \\ x^2, & -1 < x < 1 \\ 2-x, & x \geq 1 \end{cases}$. Then the value of $f(-1.75) + f(0.5) + f(1.5)$ is
