Question:medium

Statement-I: Al is more electropositive than Tl because $ E^\circ_{\mathrm{Al^{3+}/Al}} $ is negative and $ E^\circ_{\mathrm{Tl^{3+}/Tl}} $ is positive.
Statement-II: For B atom, the sum of the first three ionization energies is very high, thus it forms covalent compounds.

A 3rd order square matrix M satisfies $ M \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 \\ 0 & 2 & 1 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 2 & 1 \end{pmatrix} $ and $ M \begin{pmatrix} 0 & -1 \\ 1 & 2 \\ 2 & 1 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 1 \\ 2 & 1 \end{pmatrix} $. If $ M \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 4 \\ 7 \end{pmatrix} $, then $ x + y + z $ is:

Two resistors $2\,\Omega$ and $3\,\Omega$ are connected in the gaps of a bridge as shown in the figure. The null point is obtained with the contact of jockey at some point on wire $XY$. When an unknown resistor is connected in parallel with $3\,\Omega$ resistor, the null point is shifted by $22.5\,\text{cm}$ towards $Y$. The resistance of unknown resistor is ___ $\Omega$.
