$A$ uniform rod $AB$ of length $L$ and mass $M$ is lying on a smooth table. $A$ small particle of mass $m$ strikes the rod with a velocity $v_0$ at point $C$ at a distance $x$ from the centre $O$. The particle comes to rest after the collision. The value of $x$,so that point $A$ of the rod remains stationary just after the collision,is:

Consider an ionic solid $M X$ with $NaCl$ structure. Construct a new structure $( Z )$ whose unit cell is constructed from the unit cell of $M X$ following the sequential instructions given below. Neglect the charge balance.

$(i)$ Remove all the anions ( $X$ ) except the central one

$(ii)$ Replace all the face centered cations $(M)$ by anions $(X)$

$(iii)$ Remove all the corner cations $(M)$

$(iv)$ Replace the central anion ( $X$ ) with cation $(M)$

The value of $\left(\frac{\text { number of anions }}{\text { number of cations }}\right)$ in $Z$ is. . . . .
