If the system of equations $x + 2y - 3z = 1$,$(k + 3)z = 3$,and $(2k + 1)x + z = 0$ is inconsistent,then the value of $k$ is:

$A$ block of mass $m$ is placed on a surface with a vertical cross-section given by $y = \frac{x^3}{6}$. If the coefficient of friction is $0.5$,the maximum height above the ground at which the block can be placed without slipping is

If $t_n = \frac{1}{4}(n+2)(n+3)$ for $n = 1, 2, 3, \ldots$,then $\frac{1}{t_1} + \frac{1}{t_2} + \ldots + \frac{1}{t_{2003}}$ is equal to

Observe the following reaction: $2 A + B \longrightarrow C$. The rate of formation of $C$ is $2.2 \times 10^{-3} \ mol \ L^{-1} \ min^{-1}$. What is the value of $-\frac{d[A]}{dt}$ (in $mol \ L^{-1} \ min^{-1}$)?

Consider the two following statements $A$ and $B$,and identify the correct choice given in the answers: $(A)$ Duddell's thermo galvanometer is suitable to measure direct current only. $(B)$ Thermopile can measure temperature differences of the order of $10^{-3} {}^{\circ}C$.

An ellipse passing through $(4 \sqrt{2}, 2 \sqrt{6})$ has foci at $(-4, 0)$ and $(4, 0)$. Then,its eccentricity is
