In a Drosophila, black eye colour is dominant over brown eye and allele for normal wings is dominant over allele of vestigial wing. Hybrid obtained in F₁ generation have black eye colour with normal wing. By selfing of F₁ hybrid, total 560 offspring were obtained in F₂ having four different genotypes. How many flies with black eyes and vestigial wings; and brown eyes with normal wings would be obtained? What would be their possible genotypes?

A wire of resistance 4 Ω is used to wind a coil of radius 7 cm. The wire has a diameter of 1.4 mm and the specific resistance of its material is 2 × 10^-7 Ω m. The number of turns in the coil is

A 50
B 40
C 60
D 70

A wire of resistance 5 Ω is bent into a circular loop and the resistance between its diametrically opposite points is measured to be R. Now, it is stretched so that its length is increased by twice its original. Again, it is bent into a bigger circular loop and the resistance between its diametrically opposite points is measured to be R'. Then R : R' will be

A 1 : 4
B 9 : 1
C 1 : 9
D 1 : 1
