    A fixed thermally conducting cylinder has a radius $\mathrm{R}$ and height $\mathrm{L}_0$. The cylinder is open at its bottom and has a small hole at its top. A piston of mass $M$ is held at a distance $L$ from the top surface, as shown in the figure. The atmospheric pressure is $\mathrm{P}_0$.

    $1.$  The piston is now pulled out slowly and held at a distance $2 \mathrm{~L}$ from the top. The pressure in the cylinder between its top and the piston will then be

    $(A)$ $\mathrm{P}_0$ $(B)$ $\frac{\mathrm{P}_0}{2}$  $(C)$ $\frac{P_0}{2}+\frac{M g}{\pi R^2}$  $(D)$ $\frac{\mathrm{P}_0}{2}-\frac{\mathrm{Mg}}{\pi \mathrm{R}^2}$

    $2.$  While the piston is at a distance $2 \mathrm{~L}$ from the top, the hole at the top is sealed. The piston is then released, to a position where it can stay in equilibrium. In this condition, the distance of the piston from the top is

    $(A)$ $\left(\frac{2 \mathrm{P}_0 \pi \mathrm{R}^2}{\pi \mathrm{R}^2 \mathrm{P}_0+\mathrm{Mg}}\right)(2 \mathrm{~L})$  $(B)$ $\left(\frac{\mathrm{P}_0 \pi R^2-\mathrm{Mg}}{\pi R^2 \mathrm{P}_0}\right)(2 \mathrm{~L})$ 

    $(C)$ $\left(\frac{\mathrm{P}_0 \pi \mathrm{R}^2+\mathrm{Mg}}{\pi \mathrm{R}^2 \mathrm{P}_0}\right)(2 \mathrm{~L})$  $(D)$ $\left(\frac{\mathrm{P}_0 \pi \mathrm{R}^2}{\pi \mathrm{R}^2 \mathrm{P}_0-\mathrm{Mg}}\right)(2 \mathrm{~L})$

    $3.$  The piston is taken completely out of the cylinder. The hole at the top is sealed. A water tank is brought below the cylinder and put in a position so that the water surface in the tank is at the same level as the top of the cylinder as shown in the figure. The density of the water is $\rho$. In equilibrium, the height $\mathrm{H}$ of the water column in the cylinder satisfies

    $(A)$ $\rho g\left(\mathrm{~L}_0-\mathrm{H}\right)^2+\mathrm{P}_0\left(\mathrm{~L}_0-\mathrm{H}\right)+\mathrm{L}_0 \mathrm{P}_0=0$

    $(B)$ $\rho \mathrm{g}\left(\mathrm{L}_0-\mathrm{H}\right)^2-\mathrm{P}_0\left(\mathrm{~L}_0-\mathrm{H}\right)-\mathrm{L}_0 \mathrm{P}_0=0$

    $(C)$ $\rho g\left(\mathrm{~L}_0-\mathrm{H}\right)^2+\mathrm{P}_0\left(\mathrm{~L}_0-\mathrm{H}\right)-\mathrm{L}_0 \mathrm{P}_0=0$

    $(D)$ $\rho \mathrm{g}\left(\mathrm{L}_0-\mathrm{H}\right)^2-\mathrm{P}_0\left(\mathrm{~L}_0-\mathrm{H}\right)+\mathrm{L}_0 \mathrm{P}_0=0$

    An open-ended U-tube of uniform cross-sectional area contains water (density $10^3 kg m ^{-3}$ ). Initially the water level stands at $0.29 m$ from the bottom in each arm. Kerosene oil (a water-immiscible liquid) of density $800 kg m ^{-3}$ is added to the left arm until its length is $0.1 m$, as shown in the schematic figure below. The ratio $\left(\frac{h_1}{h_2}\right)$ of the heights of the liquid in the two arms is-
