The hydride ion $H^{-}$ is a stronger base than the hydroxide ion $OH^{-}$. If sodium hydride $(NaH)$ is dissolved in water,which of the following reactions will occur?

$A$ scion is grafted to a stock. The quality of fruits produced will be determined by the genotype of

The area (in square units) of the triangle formed by the points with polar coordinates $(1, 0)$,$(2, \frac{\pi}{3})$,and $(3, \frac{2\pi}{3})$ is

Three concentric metallic spherical shells of radii $R, 2R, 3R$ are given charges $Q_1, Q_2, Q_3$ respectively. It is found that the surface charge densities on the outer surfaces of the shells are equal. Then,the ratio of the charges given to the shells,$Q_1 : Q_2 : Q_3$ is

Suppose $E$ and $F$ are two events of a random experiment. If the probability of occurrence of $E$ is $1/5$ and the probability of occurrence of $F$ given $E$ is $1/10$,then the probability of non-occurrence of at least one of the events $E$ and $F$ is
