Two particles $A$ and $B$ initially at rest move towards each other under a mutual force of attraction. At the instant when the speed of $A$ is $v$ and the speed of $B$ is $2v$,the speed of the centre of mass of the system is:

Acetone on addition to methyl magnesium bromide forms a complex,which on decomposition with acid gives $X$ and $Mg(OH)Br$. Which one of the following is $X$?

Two full turns of the circular scale of a screw gauge cover a distance of $1\,mm$ on the main scale. The total number of divisions on the circular scale is $50$. Further,it is found that the screw gauge has a zero error of $+0.03\,mm$. While measuring the diameter of a thin wire,a student notes the main scale reading of $3\,mm$ and the number of the circular scale division in line with the main scale is $35$. The diameter of the wire is .......... $mm$.

Carbon,Silicon,and Germanium atoms have four valence electrons each. Their valence and conduction bands are separated by energy band gaps represented by $(E_g)_C$,$(E_g)_{Si}$,and $(E_g)_{Ge}$ respectively. Which one of the following relationships is true in their case?
