Five balls numbered \(1\) to \(5\) are suspended using separate threads. Pairs \((1, 2), (2, 4),\) and \((4, 1)\) show electrostatic attraction, while pairs \((2, 3)\) and \((4, 5)\) show repulsion. Therefore ball \((1)\) must be:

1. positively charged
2. negatively charged
3. neutral
4. made of metal

Two spherical conductors \(B\) and \(C\) having equal radii and carrying equal charges in them repel each other with a force \(F\) when kept apart at some distance. A third spherical conductor having same radius as that of \(B\) but uncharged is brought in contact with \(B\), then brought in contact with \(C\) and finally removed away from both. The new force of repulsion between \(B\) and \(C\) is:
1. \(\frac{F}{4}\)
2. \(3\frac{F}{4}\)
3. \(\frac{F}{8}\)
4. \(3\frac{F}{8}\)
