The angular momentum of a system of particles is conserved

1. when no external force acts upon the system

2. when no external torque acts upon the system

3. when no external impulse acts upon the system

4. when axis of rotation remains same

One hollow and one solid cylinder of the same radius roll down on a smooth inclined plane. Then the foot of the inclined plane is reached by

2.  up and right 

3.  down and left 

4.  down and right

ABC is an equilateral triangle with O as its cente. ${\overrightarrow{F}}_1, \overrightarrow{F_2} and \overrightarrow{F_3}$ represent three forces acting along the sides AB, BC and AC respectively. If the total torque about O is zero then the magnitude of $\overrightarrow{F_3}$ is

1. $F_1+F_2$

2. $F_1-F_2$

3. $\frac{F_1+F_2}{2}$

4. $2(F_1+F_2)$
