- A factory has a total of three manufacturing units, \(M_1, M_2\), and \(M_3\), which produce bulbs independent of each other. The units \(M_1, M_2\), and \(M_3\) produce bulbs in the proportions of 2:2:1, respectively. It is known that \(20 \%\) of the bulbs produced in the factory are defective. It is also known that, of all the bulbs produced by \(M_1, 15 \%\) are defective. Suppose that, if a randomly chosen bulb produced in the factory is found to be defective, the probability that it was produced by \(M_2\) is \(\frac{2}{5}\).
If a bulb is chosen randomly from the bulbs produced by \(M_3\), then the probability that it is defective is ____.JEE Advanced 2025 Hard - Let \(k \in \mathbb{R}\). If \(\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^+}(\sin (\sin k x)+\cos x+x)^{\frac{2}{x}}=e^6\), then the value of \(k\) isJEE Advanced 2024 Easy

- Paragraph :
A spray gun is shown in the figure where a piston pushes air out of a nozzle. A thin tube of uniform cross section is connected to the nozzle. The other end of the tube is in a small liquid container. As the piston pushes air through the nozzle, the liquid from the container rises into the nozzle and is sprayed out. For the spray gun shown, the radii of the piston and the nozzle are \(20 \mathrm{~mm}\) and \(1 \mathrm{~mm}\), respectively. The upper end of the container is open to the atmosphere.
