Write about the Ukraine and Russia war.

Answer»

The Russo-Ukrainian War is an ongoing war, primarily involving Russia, Belarus and pro-Russian forces on one side, and Ukraine on the other. Armed conflict began in February 2014 in the wake of Euro maidan, centred on the status of Crimea and the parts of Donbas which are internationally recognized as part of Ukraine. The conflict had included the Russian annexation of Crimea(2014) the Donbas war(2014- present) naval incidents, cyberwarfare, and political tensions. After Russia military build-ups near Ukraine's borders in 2021, Russia launched a large scale invasion of Ukraine on 24th February 2022. Following the Euro maidan  protests and the subsequent removal of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych on 22 February 2014, and amidst pro - Russian unrest in Ukraine, Russian soldiers without insignias took control of strategic positions and infrastructure within the Ukrainian territory of Crimea. On 1 March 2014, the Federation Council of the Russian Federation unanimously adopted a resolution to petition Russian President Vladimir Putin to use military force in Ukraine. The resolution was adopted several days later, after the start of the Russian military operation on the "Returning of Crimea". Russia then annexed Crimea after a widely criticized local referendum which was organized by Russia after the capturing of the Crimean Parliament, whose outcome was for the Autonomous republic of Crimea to join the Russian Federation.   In April, demonstrations by pro-Russian groups in the Donbas area of Ukraine escalated into a war between the Ukrainian government and the Russian-backed separatist forces of the self-declared Donestk and Luhansk People republics. In August, Russian military vehicles crossed the border in numerous locations of Donetsk Oblast. The incursion by the Russian military was seen as responsible for the defeat of Ukrainian forces in early September.

Answer»

Answer is (4) 10 cm

L = f0 + fe = 60 cm 

M = f0/fe = 5

f0 = 5fe

 6fe = 60 cm

fe = 10 cm

Answer is (4) 10 cm

m = f0/fe

5 = f0/fe

f0 = 5fe

f0 + fe = 60 

6fe = 60 

fe = 10

You are given prisms made of crown glass and flint glass with a wide variety of angles. Suggest a combination of prisms which will (a) deviate a pencil of white light without much dispersion, (b) disperse (and displace) a pencil of white light without much deviation.

Answer»

(a)Place the two prisms beside each other. Make sure that their bases are on the opposite sides of the incident white light, with their faces touching each other. When the white light is incident on the first prism, it will get dispersed. When this dispersed light is incident on the second prism, it will recombine and white light will emerge from the combination of the two prisms. 

(b)Take the system of the two prisms as suggested in answer (a). Adjust (increase) the angle of the flint-glass-prism so that the deviations due to the combination of the prisms become equal. This combination will disperse the pencil of white light without much deviation.

The efficiency of a Carnot engine is 35.0%. What is the temperature of the cold reservoir if the temperature of the hot reservoir is 400 K?a. 140 Kb. 325 Kc. 260 Kd. 235 K

Answer»

Correct option is (C) 260 K

The efficiency of carnot engine \(\eta\) = 1 - \(\frac{T_2}{T_1}\)

.35 = 1 - \(\frac{T_2}{400}\) 

\(\frac{T_2}{400}=1-0.35\) 

\(\frac{T_2}{400}=0.65\) 

T2 = \(\frac{0.65}{100}\times400\)

T2 = 260 K

Water availability is a major environmental problem in the world. We continue to flush billions of litres of treated fresh water down our toilets every day. Since 40% of the 6 billion people on earth use toilets, it is a lot of water. Rohit, an Indian embarked on a project to redesign the water closet / flush to reduce the consumption of water. He made this possible with a simple mechanism added to the conventional closet that creates a partial vacuum when the user pushes down the flush lever. He called it the Vacu-Flush. Which of the Sustainable Development Goal does this scenario relate to? a) Life on land b) Responsible consumption, and production c) Clean water and sanitation d) Partnerships for goals

Answer»

Correct answer is c) Clean water and sanitation

Assertion: Lipases of bile help in the emulsification of fats. Reason: Lipases can break large fat droplets into smaller ones.A. If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.C. If assertion is true but reson is false.D. If both assertion and reason are false.

Answer» Correct Answer - D
It is not lipases but the bile which are responsible for the emulsification of fats. Lipases can digest fat in significant amounts only when large fat droplets are broken into tiny droplets to form a fina emulsion. Emulsification of fats by bile salts thus increases the lipase action on fats.

The leaving of neutrophils from the blood vessels to act on the site of injury is called as ________(a) Histosis(b) Diapedesis(c) Amboidal Movement(d) Flagellation

Answer» Correct choice is (b) Diapedesis

The best I can explain: When a WBC or a neutrophil, in this case, is moving out of the blood vessels, the size of the pores in the blood vessels is too small as compared to the size of the WBC. Thus, for the WBCs to come out, they squeeze out a tiny amoeboid leg out if the pore and slowly move out. This process is diapedesis.

Efficiency ratio of Suman and Sumit is 2 : 3, they completed work together. They got Rs. 150 for the work, what is the portion of Suman in it?1. Rs. 302. Rs. 603. Rs. 704. Rs. 75

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Rs. 60

GIVEN:

Efficiency ratio of Suman and Sumit is 2 : 3.

They got Rs. 150 for the work

CONCEPT:

Efficiency is inversely proportional to time.

And

Ratio of amount = Ratio of efficiency

CALCULATION:

Amount of money received by Suman = 150 × 2/5 = Rs. 60

15546.

If A can do half of the work in 5 days and B can do 1/3rd of the work in 6 days, then how much money will B get if they were paid a total of 280 rupees?1. Rs. 1402. Rs. 1203. Rs. 1004. Rs. 80

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : Rs. 100

GIVEN:

A can do half of the work in 5 days and B can do 1/3rd of the work in 6 days.

CONCEPT:

Efficiency is inversely proportional to time.

And
Ratio of amount = Ratio of efficiency

CALCULATION:

Time in which A will complete the whole work = 5 × 2 = 10 days

And

Time in which B will complete the whole work = 6 × 3 = 18 days

So,

Ratio of efficiencies of A and B = 18 : 10 = 9 : 5

Hence,

Amount received by B = 280 × 5/14 = Rs. 100
15547.

A and B can do a work in 6 and 8 days respectively. Doing that work together, they get an amount of Rs. 700. What is the share of B in that amount?1. Rs. 2002. Rs. 3003. Rs. 3504. Rs. 400

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Rs. 300

GIVEN:

A and B can do a work in 6, 8 days respectively. Doing that work together, they get an amount of Rs. 700.

CONCEPT:

Ratio of amount = Ratio of efficiency

CALCULATION:

Efficiency ratio is inversely proportional to the Time

Then

Efficiency ratio = 8 : 6 = 4 : 3

Hence,

B’s share = (700 × 3)/7 = Rs. 300

P and Q together earn Rs. 250 per day. Q and R together earn 220 per day. P, Q, and R when working together earn Rs 350 per day. How much does Q earn daily?1. Rs. 1202. Rs. 2403. Rs. 1804. Rs. 200

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : Rs. 120

Given:

P and Q earns = Rs. 250

Q and R earns = Rs. 220

P, Q, and R together earns 350

Calculation

P + Q = 250     ----(1)

Q + R = 220     ----(2)

Add eq. (1) and eq. (2)

⇒ P + Q + Q + R = 470

⇒ P + Q + R + Q = Rs. 470     ----(3)

P + Q + R = 350     ----(4)

Put value of P, Q, and R from eq. (4) to eq. (3)

⇒ 350 + Q = 470

⇒ Q = Rs. 120

Daily earing of Q is Rs. 120

8 boys working 4 hours a day earn Rs. 320, how much will 7 boys working 2 hours a day will earn?1. Rs. 1202. Rs. 1303. Rs. 1504. Rs. 140

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : Rs. 140

GIVEN:

8 boys working 4 hours a day earn Rs. 320.

FORMULA USED:

(B1 × D1)/W1 = (B2 × D2)/W2

CALCULATION:

By using the formula:

8 × 4 × W2 = 7 × 2 × 320

⇒ W2 = Rs. 140

The hourly wages of a mason have increased by 25%. Since the increase, the number of hours he works daily has reduced by 16%. If he was earning Rs. 120 per day before the increase, how much (in Rs.) is he earning now?1. Rs. 1262. Rs. 1503. Rs. 1444. Rs. 120

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : Rs. 126

Concept used:

Daily wages = hourly wages × work hours.

Calculation:

Let the original hourly wages and work hours be Rs. x and y hours respectively. 

Since he used to earn Rs. 120 earlier, xy = 120 

New hourly wages = Rs. (1.25x) and new working hours = 0.84y

New daily wages = (1.25x)(0.84y) = 1.05xy = 1.05 × 120 = Rs. 126

∴ New daily wages is Rs. 126
