Which of the following tissues is present in the leaves of $Pinus$ and serves to conduct water and food?

What is the full form of $ARC$?

In Gattermann reaction,a diazonium group is replaced by $\underline{X}$ using $\underline{Y}$. $\underline{X}$ and $\underline{Y}$ are:
$\underline{X} \quad \underline{Y}$

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:

If $a, b$ and $c$ form a geometric progression with common ratio $r$,then the sum of the ordinates of the points of intersection of the line $ax + by + c = 0$ and the curve $x + 2y^2 = 0$ is

$A$ variable plane is at a constant distance $h$ from the origin and meets the coordinate axes in $A, B, C$. The locus of the centroid of $\triangle ABC$ is
