If the circles $x^2+y^2-2 \lambda x-2 y-7=0$ and $3(x^2+y^2)-8 x+29 y=0$ are orthogonal,then $\lambda$ is equal to

An archaeologist analyses the wood in a prehistoric structure and finds that the ratio of ${C^{14}}$ (half-life $= 5700 \, years$) to ${C^{12}}$ is only one-fourth of that found in the cells of living plants. The age of the wood is about ........ $years$.

The general solution of the equation $(\sqrt{3} - 1)\sin \theta + (\sqrt{3} + 1)\cos \theta = 2$ is

An ideal gas expands isothermally from a volume $V_1$ to $V_2$ and is then compressed to the original volume $V_1$ adiabatically. The initial pressure is $P_1$ and the final pressure is $P_3$. If the total work done is $W$,then:

$A$ working transistor with its three legs marked $P, Q$ and $R$ is tested using a multimeter. No conduction is found between $P$ and $Q$. By connecting the common (negative) terminal of the multimeter to $R$ and the other (positive) terminal to $P$ or $Q$,some resistance is seen on the multimeter. Which of the following is true for the transistor?

Let $a, b, c \in R$. If $f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$ is such that $a + b + c = 3$ and $f(x + y) = f(x) + f(y) + xy$ for all $x, y \in R$,then $\sum_{n=1}^{10} f(n)$ is equal to:
