A signal which can be green or red with probability $${4 \over 5}$$ and $${1 \over 5}$$ respectively, is received by station A and then transmitted to station $$B$$. The probability of each station receving the signal correctly is $${3 \over 4}$$. If the signal received at atation $$B$$ is green, then the probability that the original signal was green is

Two adjacent sides of a parallelogram $$ABCD$$ are given by
$$\overrightarrow {AB} = 2\widehat i + 10\widehat j + 11\widehat k$$ and $$\,\overrightarrow {AD} = -\widehat i + 2\widehat j + 2\widehat k$$
The side $$AD$$ is rotated by an acute angle $$\alpha $$ in the plane of the parallelogram so that $$AD$$ becomes $$AD'.$$ If $$AD'$$ makes a right angle with the side $$AB,$$ then the cosine of the angle $$\alpha $$ is given by

A vernier calipers has 1 mm marks on the main scale. It has 20 equal divisions on the Vernier scale which match with 16 main scale divisions. For this Vernier calipers, the least count is

When liquid medicine of density $$\rho $$ is to be put in the eye, it is done with the help of a dropper. As the bulb on the top of the dropper is pressed, a drop forms at the opening of the dropper. We wish to estimate the size of the drop. We first assume that the drop formed at the opening is spherical because that requires a minimum increase in its surface energy. To determine the size, we calculate the net vertical force due to the surface tension T when the radius of the drop is R. When the force becomes smaller than the weight of the drop, the drop gets detached from the dropper.

If the radius of the opening of the dropper is $$r$$, the vertical force due to the surface tension on the drop of radius R (assuming $$r$$ << R) is
