Let $O$ be the origin and $A$ be a point on the curve $y^2=4x$. Then the locus of the midpoint of $OA$ is:

Twelve cells,each having emf $E$ volts,are connected in series and are kept in a closed box. Some of these cells are wrongly connected with positive and negative terminals reversed. This $12$-cell battery is connected in series with an ammeter,an external resistance $R$ ohms,and a two-cell battery (two cells of the same type used earlier,connected perfectly in series). The current in the circuit when the $12$-cell battery and $2$-cell battery aid each other is $3 \text{ A}$,and it is $2 \text{ A}$ when they oppose each other. Then,the number of cells in the $12$-cell battery that are connected wrongly is:

Which of the following is not a greenhouse gas?

Two soap bubbles combine to form a single bubble. In this process, the change in volume and surface area are respectively $V$ and $A$. If $P$ is the atmospheric pressure, and $T$ is the surface tension of the soap solution, the following relation is true :

The phosphate of a metal has the formula $MHPO_4$. The formula of its chloride would be

Let $P(6, 3)$ be a point on the hyperbola $\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$. If the normal at point $P$ intersects the $x$-axis at $(9, 0)$,then the eccentricity of the hyperbola is:
