If the system of equations $ax + y + z = 0$,$x + by + z = 0$,and $x + y + cz = 0$ $(a, b, c \neq 1)$ has a non-trivial solution,then the value of $\frac{1}{1 - a} + \frac{1}{1 - b} + \frac{1}{1 - c}$ is:

In the circuit shown in the figure,the potential difference across the $4.5\,\mu F$ capacitor is ....... $V$.

The $P-V$ diagram of $2\,g$ of $He$ gas for the process $A \to B$ is shown. What is the heat given to the gas (in $,P_0V_0$)?

Water flows in a streamlined manner through a capillary tube of radius $a$,the pressure difference being $P$ and the rate of flow $Q$. If the radius is reduced to $a/2$ and the pressure is increased to $2P$,the rate of flow becomes:

$A$ narrow parallel beam of light is incident paraxially on a solid transparent sphere of radius $r$ kept in air. What should be the refractive index if the beam is to be focused at the farther surface of the sphere?

Two particles of equal mass have velocities $\overrightarrow{v}_1=4 \hat{i} \text{ ms}^{-1}$ and $\overrightarrow{v}_2=4 \hat{j} \text{ ms}^{-1}$. The first particle has an acceleration $\overrightarrow{a}_1=(5 \hat{i}+5 \hat{j}) \text{ ms}^{-2}$ while the acceleration of the other particle is zero. The centre of mass of the two particles moves in a path of
