11.(D) Remember that the field at the centre of a circular arc of radius R and subtending angle  at its centre,
with total charge Q uniformly distributed over it, is

Therefore, the field at the centre of the given semi-circular ring, E1  

4 0 R   0
We know that this field will point perpendicular to the diameter of the semi-circular ring, away from the
ring if the charge is positive and towards the ring if the charge is negative.
So, the field due to the two halves will point in the same direction and add up. Therefore, the net field at

10.(54) f (3x + 2) + f (3x + 29) = 0 …(i)

Replacing x by x + 9, we get
f (3( x  9)  2)  f (3( x  9)  29  0
or f (3 x  29)  f (3 x  56)  0 …(ii)
from (i) and (ii), we get
f (3x + 2) = f (3x +56)
or f (3x + 2) = f (3(x + 18) +12)
Therefore, f(x) is periodic with periodic 54
