1.

For an ungrouped data comprising ‘n’ observations, how is median calculated if ‘n’ is even.

Answer»

Total number of observations are n, where n is an even number. Then the median is calculated by the average of \(\frac{n}{2}^{th} and (\frac{n}{2}+1)^{th}\) observations. 

Hence, median = \(\frac{\frac{n}{2}^{th} observation + (\frac{n}{2}+1)^{th} observation}{2}\)

Find the number of zeroes at the end of the product 15!.1. 42. 33. 54. 2

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 3

Given:

15! = 1 × 2 × 3 × 4 × 5 × 6 × 7 × 8 × 9 × 10 × 11 × 12 × 13 × 14 × 15

Concept used:

To find the number of zeroes at the end of the product, we need to calculate the number of 2’s and number 5’s or number of pairs of 2 and 5.

2 × 5 = 10 ⇒ Number of zeroes = 1 (number of pair = 1)

The number of pairs of 2 and 5 is same as the number of zeroes at the end of the product

Calculation:

Given expression = 15! = 1 × 2 × 3 × 4 × 5 × 6 × 7 × 8 × 9 × 10 × 11 × 12 × 13 × 14 × 15

In any factorial value, the number of 5’s is always lesser than the number of 2’s

In the above expression, number of 5’s = 3 (5, 10 = 2 × 5, 15 = 3 × 5)

Number of 2’s = 11

But total number of pairs of 2’s and 5’s = 3

∴ The total number of zeroes is 3.
3.

Find the area of a circle whose circumference is 66 cm.

Answer»

We know that the circumference of a circle of radius r is given by 2\(\pi\)

Given that the circumference of a circle is 66 m. 

Therefore, 2\(\pi\) = 66 m

⇒ r = \(\frac{66}{2\pi}\) = \(\frac{66}{2 \times \frac{22}{7}}\) = \(\frac{3 \times 7}{2}\) = \(\frac{21}{2}\) = 10.5 m.

Hence, the radius of the circle is r = 10.5 m 

Now, the area of the circle is \(\pi\)r2 = \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 10.5 × 10.5 = 231 × 1.5 = 346.5 m2 .

Hence, the area of circle is 346.5 m2 .

Write a Program in Java to input a number and check whether it is a Fascinating Number or not.Fascinating Numbers : Some numbers of 3 digits or more exhibit a very interesting property. The property is such that, when the number is multiplied by 2 and 3, and both these products are concatenated with the original number, all digits from 1 to 9 are present exactly once, regardless of the number of zeroes.Let’s understand the concept of Fascinating Number through the following example:Consider the number 192, 192 x 1 = 192 192 x 2 = 384 192 x 3 = 576Concatenating the results : 192384576It could be observed that ‘192384576’ consists of all digits from 1 to 9 exactly once. Hence, it could be concluded that 192 is a Fascinating Number.Some examples of fascinating Numbers are : 192, 219, 273, 327, 1902, 1920, 2019 etc.

Answer»

import java.util.Scanner;

public class KboatFascinatingNumber

        int num = in.nextInt();
        
        if (num < 100) {
            System.out.println(num + " is not a Fascinating Number");
            return;
        }
        
        int num2 = num * 2;
        int num3 = num * 3;
        
        boolean isFascinating = true;
        String str = "" + num + num2 + num3;
        for (char i = '1'; i <= '9'; i++) {
            int idx1 = str.indexOf(i);
            int idx2 = str.lastIndexOf(i);
            if (idx1 == -1 || idx1 != idx2) {

Write down the steps to sharpen the images.

Answer»

The easy and best technique for sharpening uses Photoshop to create a high pass layer and then layer masks to control where and how much sharpening is applied.

A high pass layer works in the same way an unsharp mask works on film: the high pass layer creates slightly blurry halos around edges in the original image, thus increasing the contrast at edges. The difference between high pass sharpening and most other methods of sharpening is that high pass sharpening does not actually adjust or change any pixels in your original image. Also, because high pass exists as a separate layer, you can adjust the layer’s Opacity and Blending Modes to control the strength of sharpening over the entire image. You can then use masks to control where sharpening is applied within the image and to make localized changes in the strength of sharpening.

Another advantage to sharpening with a high pass layer is you can save the layer with the Photoshop file and go back later and change the settings and areas where sharpening has been applied. This is a huge advantage when working with an image that you might finish for web viewing and printing, or printing on different papers.

How to apply Texture mapping? Explain

Answer»

To apply a texture to an object, you map the texture to an attribute on the object's material. The attribute to which the texture is connected determines how the texture is used and how it affects the final output.

To map a texture to a material using the Attribute Editor:

1. Select your material in the Hypershade. In the material Attribute Editor, click themap button beside the attribute that you want to connect a texture to. The Create Render Node window appears. 

2. Select a texture from the Create Render Node window.

If you are selecting a 2D texture, right-click the texture and select a mapping method (Create texture (create normally), Create as projection, Create as stencil). If you do not select a mapping method, the default method (Create texture) is used.

If you are selecting the File texture, map to the image file by clicking the browse icon beside the Image Name attribute.

Describe the process of creating Seamless Textures in Photoshop.

Answer»

The starting texture: Choose your texture, and crop it so that it fits the Photoshop window

Offset the texture: Drag the texture layer to the bottom left, so the corner of the texture is now more or less in the middle. You don’t have to do this precisely.

Repeat the texture: Hold Option/Alt as you drag the texture up with the Move Tool to make a copy,

Repeat again: drag the layer to the right, again holding Option/Alt and Shift to make a copy. Merge down once again

Patch the joins: The easiest way to begin is to use the Spot Healing Tool
