$A$ line is drawn through the point $(1, 2)$ to meet the coordinate axes at $P$ and $Q$ such that it forms a $\triangle OPQ$,where $O$ is the origin. If the area of $\triangle OPQ$ is least,then the slope of the line $PQ$ is

Ten ants are on the real line. At time $t=0$,the $k$-th ant starts at the point $k^2$ and,travelling at a uniform speed,reaches the point $(11-k)^2$ at time $t=1$. The number of distinct times at which at least two ants are at the same location is

$A \equiv (\cos \theta, \sin \theta)$ and $B \equiv (\sin \theta, -\cos \theta)$ are two points. The locus of the centroid of $\triangle OAB$,where $O$ is the origin,is

$ABC$ is a variable triangle such that $A$ is $(1, 2)$,and $B$ and $C$ lie on the line $y = x + \lambda$ (where $\lambda$ is a variable). The locus of the orthocenter of triangle $ABC$ is:

Starting at time $t=0$ from the origin with speed $1 \text{ m/s}$,a particle follows a two-dimensional trajectory in the $x-y$ plane so that its coordinates are related by the equation $y=\frac{x^2}{2}$. The $x$ and $y$ components of its acceleration are denoted by $a_x$ and $a_y$,respectively. Then:
$(A)$ $a_x=1 \text{ m/s}^2$ implies that when the particle is at the origin,$a_y=1 \text{ m/s}^2$
$(B)$ $a_x=0$ implies $a_y=1 \text{ m/s}^2$ at all times
$(C)$ at $t=0$,the particle's velocity points in the $x$-direction
$(D)$ $a_x=0$ implies that at $t=1 \text{ s}$,the angle between the particle's velocity and the $x$-axis is $45^{\circ}$
