Which of the following is $NOT$ a mode of nutrition?

If $0 < y < 2^{1/3}$ and $x(y^3 - 1) = 1$,then $\frac{2}{x} + \frac{2}{3x^3} + \frac{2}{5x^5} + \dots$ is equal to:

If $N$ denotes the set of all positive integers and if $f: N \rightarrow N$ is defined by $f(n) =$ the sum of positive divisors of $n$,then $f(2^k \cdot 3)$,where $k$ is a positive integer,is

The wavelengths of light used in an optical instrument are ${\lambda _1 = 4000 \ \mathring{A}}$ and ${\lambda _2 = 5000 \ \mathring{A}}$. The ratio of their respective resolving powers (corresponding to ${\lambda _1}$ and ${\lambda _2}$) is:

An important evidence in favour of organic evolution is the occurrence of

$A$ wheel of mass $m$ has charges $+q$ and $-q$ at diametrically opposite points. It remains in equilibrium on a rough inclined plane in the presence of a uniform vertical electric field $E$. Find the value of $E$.
