The graph in the figure shows how the count-rate $A$ of a radioactive source as measured by a Geiger counter varies with time $t$. The relationship between $A$ and $t$ is: (Assume $\ln 12 = 2.6$)

An earthquake generates both transverse $(S)$ and longitudinal $(P)$ waves in the earth. The speed of $S$ waves is about $4.5 \, km/s$ and that of $P$ waves is about $8.0 \, km/s$. $A$ seismograph records $P$ and $S$ waves from an earthquake. The first $P$ wave arrives $4.0 \, min$ before the first $S$ wave. The epicenter of the earthquake is located at a distance of about ..... $km$.

$A$ double slit experiment is immersed in water of refractive index $1.33$. The slit separation is $1 ~mm$ and the distance between the slit and the screen is $1.33 ~m$. The slits are illuminated by light of wavelength $6300 ~Å$. The fringe width is:

The probability distribution of a random variable $X$ is given below:

$X = x$	$0$	$1$	$2$	$3$
$P(X = x)$	$\frac{1}{10}$	$\frac{2}{10}$	$\frac{3}{10}$	$\frac{4}{10}$

Then the variance of $X$ is

At a certain temperature,$\operatorname{rod} A$ and $\operatorname{rod} B$ of different materials have lengths $L_A$ and $L_B$ respectively. Their coefficients of linear expansion are $\alpha_A$ and $\alpha_B$ respectively. It is observed that the difference between their lengths remains constant at all temperatures. The ratio $L_{A}: L_{B}$ is given by
