Which of the following is a synthetic auxin?

If $z = \sec^{-1}\left(\frac{x^4+y^4-8x^2y^2}{x^2+y^2}\right)$,then $x \frac{\partial z}{\partial x} + y \frac{\partial z}{\partial y}$ is equal to

An insect crawls up a hemispherical surface very slowly (see the figure). The coefficient of friction between the insect and the surface is $\mu = 1/3$. If the line joining the centre of the hemispherical surface to the insect makes an angle $\alpha$ with the vertical,the maximum possible value of $\alpha$ is given by:

Consider two statements $S_1$ and $S_2$.
$S_1$: If $f(x)$ is a differentiable function with $f'(x) = 0$ in $(a, b)$ and $f(x)$ is increasing in $(a, b)$,then $\frac{f(x)}{f'(x)}$ is also increasing in $(a, b)$.
$S_2$: Both $\sin x$ and $\tan x$ are increasing functions in $(0, \frac{\pi}{2})$.
Which of the following is true?

$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x \sin ^{-1} x}{x^2}$ is equal to

Two sources of equal $emf$ are connected to an external resistance $R$. The internal resistances of the two sources are $R_1$ and $R_2$ $(R_2 > R_1)$. If the potential difference across the source having internal resistance $R_2$ is zero,then:
