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

If Henle's loop were absent from mammalian nephron,which of the following is to be expected?

What is the coordination number of the metal in $[Co(en)_2Cl_2]^+$?

Two identical condensers $M$ and $N$ are connected in series with a battery. The space between the plates of $M$ is completely filled with a dielectric medium of dielectric constant $8$,and a copper plate of thickness $d/2$ is introduced between the plates of $N$ ($d$ is the distance between the plates). Then the potential differences across $M$ and $N$ are,respectively,in the ratio:

Which of the following has the highest boiling point?

$A$ point object on the principal axis at a distance $15\, cm$ in front of a concave mirror of radius of curvature $20\, cm$ has a velocity of $2\, mm/s$ perpendicular to the principal axis. The velocity of the image at that instant will be.......$mm/s$.
