A pen of mass 'm' is lying on a piece of paper of mass M placed on a rough table. If the coefficient of
friction between the pen and paper, and, the paper and table are μ1 and μ2, respectively, then the minimum
horizontal force with which the paper has to be pulled for the pen to start slipping is given by-
(A) (m + M) (μ1 + μ2) g (B) (mμ1 + Mμ2)g
(C) {mμ1 + (m + M) μ2} g (D) m(μ1 + μ2) g

Let kˆ jˆ iˆ u = 2 − + r , kˆ v = −3ˆj + 2 r be vectors in R3 and w r be a unit vector in the xy-plane. Then the maximum
possible value of | (u r × v r ) .w r | is-
Three vertices are chosen randomly from the seven vertices of a regular 7-sided polygon. The probability
that they form the vertices of an isosceles triangle is-

There is something I don't understand about algebra: It has been around for thousands of years, yet no one has ever found out what the value of "x" or "y" really is.
