Three identical uncharged metal spheres are at the vertices of an equilateral triangle. One at a time, a small sphere is connected by a conducting wire with a large metal sphere that is charged. The center of the large sphere is in the straight line perpendicular to the plane of equilateral triangle and passing through its centre (see figure). As a result, the first small sphere acquires charge $q_1$ and second charge $q_2 (q_2 < q_1)$ . The charge that the third sphere $q_3$ will acquire is (Assume $l >> R$ , $l >> r$ , $d >> R$ , $d >> r$ )

→An observer can see through a pin-hole the top end of a thin rod of height $h,$ placed as shown in the figure. The beaker height is $3h$ and its radius $h$. When the beaker is filled with a liquid up to a height $2h$, he can see the lower end of the rod. Then the refractive index of the liquid is
→Two spherical stars $A$ and $B$ have densities $\rho_A$ and $\rho_B$, respectively. $A$ and $B$ have the same radius, and their masses $M_A$ and $M_B$ are related by $M_B=2 M_A$. Due to an interaction process, star $A$ loses some of its mass, so that its radius is halved, while its spherical shape is retained, and its density remains $\rho_A$. The entire mass lost by $A$ is deposited as a thick spherical shell on $B$ with the density of the shell being $\rho_4$. If $v_A$ and $v_B$ are the escape velocities from $A$ and $B$ after the interaction process, the ratio $\frac{v_B}{v_A}=\sqrt{\frac{10 n}{15^{1 / 3}}}$. The value of $n$ is. . . . .
