When two species of different genealogy come to resemble each other as a result of adaptation,the phenomenon is termed as

If $P = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & \alpha & 3 \\ 1 & 3 & 3 \\ 2 & 4 & 4 \end{bmatrix}$ is the adjoint of a $3 \times 3$ matrix $A$ and $|A| = 4$,then $\alpha$ is equal to

Which one of the following represents the correct order of electronegativity?

$A$ long straight wire carrying a current of $30 ~A$ is placed in an external uniform magnetic field of induction $4 \times 10^{-4} ~T$. The magnetic field is acting parallel to the direction of current. The magnitude of the resultant magnetic induction in tesla at a point $2.0 ~cm$ away from the wire is
$\left(\mu_0=4 \pi \times 10^{-7} ~H/m\right)$

$X$ is a non-volatile solute and $Y$ is a volatile solvent. The following vapour pressures are observed by dissolving $X$ in $Y$:
| $X / \text{mol L}^{-1}$ | $Y / \text{mm of Hg}$ |
| :--- | :--- |
| $0.10$ | $p_1$ |
| $0.25$ | $p_2$ |
| $0.01$ | $p_3$ |
The correct order of vapour pressures is:

The eccentricity of the ellipse $9x^2 + 5y^2 - 30y = 0$ is
