In which of the following processes does entropy decrease?

If $f(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{1-\sqrt{2} \sin x}{\pi-4x} & \text{if } x \neq \frac{\pi}{4} \\ a & \text{if } x = \frac{\pi}{4} \end{cases}$ is continuous at $x = \frac{\pi}{4}$, then $a$ is equal to

If $\frac{3x+2}{(x+1)(2x^2+3)} = \frac{A}{x+1} + \frac{Bx+C}{2x^2+3}$, then $A+C-B$ is equal to :

$A$ uniform cylinder of length $L$ and mass $M$ having cross-sectional area $A$ is suspended,with its length vertical,from a fixed point by a massless spring such that it is half-submerged in a liquid of density $\sigma$ at equilibrium position. The extension $x_0$ of the spring when it is in equilibrium is:

Solid $BeH_2$ and solid $BeCl_2$ differ in
