Let C₁ and C₂ be the graph of the function y = x² and y = 2x respectively. Let C₃ be the graph of the function
y = f (x), 0 ≤ x ≤ 1, f (0) = 0. Consider a point P on C₁. Let the lines through P, parallel to the axes meet C₂ and C₃ at Q and R respectively (see figure). If for every position of P (on C₁) the area of the shaded regions OPQ and OPR are equal, determine the function f(x).

a) x² – 1

b) x³ – 1

c) x³ – x²

d) 1 + x² + x³

A hemispherical tank of radius 2 meters is initially full of water and has an outlet of 12cm² cross section area at the bottom. The outlet is opened at some instant. The flow through the outlet is according to the law  where g(t) and h(t) are respectively the velocity of the flow through the outlet and the height of the water level above the outlet at the time t, and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Find the time it takes to empty the tank. (Hint: Form a differential equation by relating the decrease of water level to the outflow).
