Which of the following sentences are grammatically correct?
(i) Arun and Aparna are here.
(ii) Arun and Aparna is here.
(iii) Arun's families is here.
(iv) Arun's family is here.
(i) Arun and Aparna are here.
(ii) Arun and Aparna is here.
(iii) Arun's families is here.
(iv) Arun's family is here.
Show Hint
- (i) and (ii)
- (i) and (iv)
- (ii) and (iv)
- (iii) and (iv)
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
- (i) Arun and Aparna are here: This is correct because "Arun and Aparna" is a plural subject, so it takes the plural form of the verb "are."
- (ii) Arun and Aparna is here: This is incorrect because "Arun and Aparna" is a plural subject, and it should take the plural verb "are," not "is."
- (iii) Arun's families is here: This is incorrect because "families" is plural, and it should take the plural form of the verb "are." The correct form should be "Arun's families are here."
- (iv) Arun's family is here: This is correct because "family" is singular, so it takes the singular verb "is."
Thus, the grammatically correct sentences are (i) and (iv), making option (B) the correct answer.
Final Answer: (B) (i) and (iv)

- The screened nuclear charge of neutral Helium atom is given as \( 1.7e \), where \( e \) is the magnitude of the electronic charge. Assuming the Bohr model of the atom for which the energy levels are \( E_n = - \frac{Z^2}{2n^2} \) atomic units (where \( Z \) is the atomic number), the first ionization potential of Helium in atomic units is:

A point charge \( q \) is placed at a distance \( d \) above an infinite, grounded conducting plate placed on the \( xy \)-plane at \( z = 0 \).
The electrostatic potential in the \( z > 0 \) region is given by \( \phi = \phi_1 + \phi_2 \), where:\( \phi_1 = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} \cdot \frac{q}{\sqrt{x^2 + y^2 + (z - d)^2}} \)

Two projectile protons \( P_1 \) and \( P_2 \), both with spin up (along the \( +z \)-direction), are scattered from another fixed target proton \( T \) with spin up at rest in the \( xy \)-plane, as shown in the figure. They scatter one at a time. The nuclear interaction potential between both the projectiles and the target proton is \( \hat{\lambda} \vec{L} \cdot \vec{S} \), where \( \vec{L} \) is the orbital angular momentum of the system with respect to the target, \( \vec{S} \) is the spin angular momentum of the system, and \( \lambda \) is a negative constant in appropriate units.

A wheel of mass \( 4M \) and radius \( R \) is made of a thin uniform distribution of mass \( 3M \) at the rim and a point mass \( M \) at the center. The spokes of the wheel are massless. The center of mass of the wheel is connected to a horizontal massless rod of length \( 2R \), with one end fixed at \( O \), as shown in the figure. The wheel rolls without slipping on horizontal ground with angular speed \( \Omega \). If \( \vec{L} \) is the total angular momentum of the wheel about \( O \), then the magnitude \( \left| \frac{d\vec{L}}{dt} \right| = N(MR^2 \Omega^2) \). The value of \( N \) (in integer) is:
