Let $E$ be the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{9} + \frac{y^2}{4} = 1$ and $C$ be the circle $x^2 + y^2 = 9$. Let $P$ and $Q$ be the points $(1, 2)$ and $(2, 1)$ respectively. Then:

If the pair of straight lines $xy-x-y+1=0$ and the line $ax+2y-3a=0$ are concurrent,then $a$ is equal to

The chemical formula of feldspar is

An object $2.4 \, m$ in front of a lens forms a sharp image on a film $12 \, cm$ behind the lens. $A$ glass plate $1 \, cm$ thick,of refractive index $1.50$,is interposed between the lens and the film with its plane faces parallel to the film. At what distance (from the lens) should the object be shifted to be in sharp focus on the film? (in $m$)

The radius of gyration of a disc of mass $50\,g$ and radius $2.5\,cm$,about an axis passing through its centre of gravity and perpendicular to the plane,is ....... $cm$.
