The line $$x=8$$ is the directrix of the ellipse $$\mathrm{E}:\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1$$ with the corresponding focus $$(2,0)$$. If the tangent to $$\mathrm{E}$$ at the point $$\mathrm{P}$$ in the first quadrant passes through the point $$(0,4\sqrt3)$$ and intersects the $$x$$-axis at $$\mathrm{Q}$$, then $$(3\mathrm{PQ})^{2}$$ is equal to ____________.

In an amplitude modulation, a modulating signal having amplitude of X Volt is superimposed with a carrier signal of amplitude Y Volt in first case. Then, in second case, the same modulating signal is superimposed with different carrier signal of amplitude 2Y Volt. The ratio of modulation index in the two cases respectively will be :

Given below are two statements : One is labelled as Assertion $$\mathbf{A}$$ and the other is labelled as Reason $$\mathbf{R}$$.

Assertion A : For measuring the potential difference across a resistance of $$600 \Omega$$, the voltmeter with resistance $$1000 \Omega$$ will be preferred over voltmeter with resistance $$4000 \Omega$$.

Reason R : Voltmeter with higher resistance will draw smaller current than voltmeter with lower resistance.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

The escape velocities of two planets $$\mathrm{A}$$ and $$\mathrm{B}$$ are in the ratio $$1: 2$$. If the ratio of their radii respectively is $$1: 3$$, then the ratio of acceleration due to gravity of planet A to the acceleration of gravity of planet B will be :
