The equation of the tangent to the curve $y = b e^{-x/a}$ at the point where it crosses the $y$-axis is:

An iron load of $2 \ kg$ is suspended in air from the free end of a sonometer wire of length $1 \ m$. $A$ tuning fork of frequency $256 \ Hz$ is in resonance with $\frac{1}{\sqrt{7}}$ times the length of the sonometer wire. If the load is immersed in water,the length of the wire in metres that will be in resonance with the same tuning fork is (Specific gravity of iron $= 8$)

$A$ container of mass $m$ is pulled by a constant force $F$. Inside the container,a second block of the same mass $m$ is placed,connected to the wall by a massless spring of constant $k$. Initially,the spring is at its natural length. Find the velocity of the container at the instant when the compression in the spring is maximum for the first time.

In biennial plants,normally the number of carpels is:

Two blocks of masses $1 \ kg$ and $2 \ kg$ are connected by a metal wire going over a smooth pulley. The breaking stress of the metal is $\frac{40}{3 \pi} \times 10^6 \ N m^{-2}$. What should be the minimum radius of the wire used if it should not break (in $mm$)? $\left(g = 10 \ m s^{-2}\right)$

If $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are the roots of the equation $ax^2+bx+c=0$ and if $px^2+qx+r=0$ has roots $\frac{1-\alpha}{\alpha}$ and $\frac{1-\beta}{\beta}$,then $r$ is equal to
