- f'(x) = 0 or undefined
- Always at endpoints
- f''(x) = 0
Show answer + explanation

Q3. Hooke's law states:
Physics- q = mcΔT
- PV = nRT
- Stress ∝ strain within elastic limit
- F = ma
Show answer + explanation
Correct: C. Stress ∝ strain within elastic limit
Proportionality constant is modulus (Young's, Shear, Bulk). Beyond elastic limit, permanent deformation.
Q4. Akbar's court historian who wrote Akbarnama and Ain-i-Akbari was:
Indian History- Faizi
- Badauni
