In the inductive circuit given in the figure, the current rises after the switch is closed. At instant when the current is 15 mA, then potential difference across the inductor will be- A. zeroB. 240 VC. 180 VD. 60 V

Answer» Correct Answer - C
At any instant
`V_(R) + V_(L) = 240`
`iR + V_(L) = 240`
`V_(L) = 240 - iR`
`= 240-15 xx 10^(-3) xx 400 = 180 V`

Why coefficient of volume expansion is a constant only at a high temperature?

Answer»

αv is also a characteristic of the sublstance but is not strictly a constant .it depends in general on temp. but it is observed that αv becomes constant only at high temp.if  we see then we observe that thermal expansion is small with materials like pyrex glass and invar with paticular low values of volume expansion.

21358.

for all real valuea of x,the maximum value of the expression x/x2-5x+9 is what?

Answer»

Solution:

Let x/(x2-5x+9) = y
=> yx2 - (5y+1)x + 9y = 0.
For x to be real, discriminant  0
=> (5y+1)2 - 36y2 0
=> 11y2 - 10y - 1 0
=> (11y + 1)(y-1) 0
=> -1/11 y 1

Remember: If (x-a)(x-b) 0, where b>a, then a  b.

Find (x + 1)6 + (x – 1)6. Hence or otherwise evaluate ( √ 2 + 1)6 + ( √ 2 – 1)6.

Answer»

Solution:

(x+1)= x6+6C1 x5.1+ 6C2 x4.12+6C3 x3.13+6C4 x2.14+6C5 x1 .15+6C6.x0.16

⇒x6+6x5+15x4+20x3+15x2+6x+1 -----(1)

(x−1)6=x6+6C1 x5.(−1)+6C2 x4.(−1)2+6C3 x3.(−1)3+6C4 x2.(−1)4+6C5 x1.(−1)5+6C6.x0.(−1)6

⇒x6−6x5+15x4−20x3+15x2−6x+1 -----(2)

Adding (1) and (2)

(x+1)6+(x−1)= 2[x6+15x4+15x2+1]

Putting x=2–√x=2

(2–√+1)6+(2–√−1)6 = 2[(2–√)6+15(2–√)4+15(2–√)2+1]

⇒2[8+60+30+1]

⇒2[99]

⇒198

Sum of place values of 6 in 63606 is1. 66062. 60663. 184. 60606

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 60606

Given:

63606

Concept used:

Place Value: It is the position of the digit. For example, in the digit 789, 9 is at the unit place, 8 is at the ten's place and 7 is at the 100's place. It means that we can write 789 = 700 + 80 + 9

Calculation:

Our number is 63606

The place value of first 6 in 63606 = 6

The place value of second 6 in 63606 = 6 × 100 = 600

The place value of third 6 in 63606 = 6 × 10000 = 60000

Sum = 6 + 600 + 60000 = 60606

Which of the following is correct?1. Predecessor of predecessor of 1000 is 9992. Successor of predecessor of 1000 is 10013. Successor of predecessor of 1000 is 10024. Predecessor of successor of 1000 is 1000

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : Predecessor of successor of 1000 is 1000

Concept used:

A Predecessor is a number that comes before the given numbers

A Successor is a number that comes after the given numbers

Calculation:

Predecessor of predecessor of 1000 is 998 not 999

1st option is not correct

Successor of predecessor of 1000 is 1000 not 1001

2nd option and 3rd option are also not correct

A predecessor of the successor of 1000 is 1000

∴ option (4) is correct.

A shop has 239 toys. Seventy more toys were brought in. Then 152 of them were sold. The number of toys left was1. 239 - 70 + 1522. 239 + 70 - 1523. 239 - 70 - 1524. 239 + 70 + 152

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 239 + 70 - 152

Given:

Total number of toys in the shop = 239 

Toys bought = 70

Total number of toys sold = 152

Calculation:

Total number of toys left = Total number of toys in the shop + Toys bought - Total number of toys sold

⇒ 239 + 70 - 152

A steel wire, when bent in the form of a square, encloses an area of 121 cm2. The same wire is bent in the form of a circle. Find the area of the circle.

Answer»

Let the side length of square is a cm.

Given that the area of square is 121 cm2.

Therefore, a2 = 121

⇒ a = 11 cm.

Since, the same wire is bent in the form of circle.

∴ The circumference of the circle is equal to the perimeter of the square.

Hence, 2\(\pi r\) = 4a = 4× 11 = 44 cm.

⇒ r = \(\frac{44}{2\pi}=\frac{44}{2\times{\frac{22}{7}}}\) = 7cm.

Hence, the radius of the circle is r = 7cm.

Now, the area of the circle = \(\pi r\)2 = \(\frac{22}{7}\times7^2\) = 22 × 7 = 154 cm2.

Hence, the area of the circle is 154 cm2.

19 thousand + 19 hundred + 19 ones is equal to1. 209192. 199193. 1919194. 21090

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 20919

Given:

19 thousand + 19 hundred + 19 ones

Calculations:

According to the question, we have

19 thousand + 19 hundred + 19 ones

⇒ 19(1000) + 19(100) + 19(1) 

⇒ 19000 + 1900 + 19

⇒ 20919

∴ The sum of 19 thousand + 19 hundred + 19 ones is equal to 20919.

Explain any one of the following with its advantage and disadvantage: i. Transfer Printing ii. Roller Printing

Answer»

(1) Transfer printing: In this indirect style of printing, dyes are transferred from paper to a thermoplastic fabric under controlled conditions of temperature, time and pressure. The image is first engraved on a copper plate and then pigment is applied on these plates. The image is then transferred to a piece of paper. The paper is then placed on the fabric and heat pressure is applied to fix the image on the fabric.

Advantage:

  • Simple operation 
  • No after treatment of fabric required 
  • Excellent print quality 
  • Excellent design possibility

(2) Roller printing: In this method engraved copper cylinders or rollers are used in place of hand carved blocks. The required designs are engraved on the surface of copper roller, to which dye is applied and excess colour is scraped off the roller’s surface, leaving dye in the engraved sections. When rollers come in contact with a fabric, the dye on the roller gets transferred to the fabric surface.

Advantage:

  • Large quantity of fabric can be produced using this method of printing. 
  • Due to precision achieved in aligning the roller, repeats marks are not visible and hence clear designs are achieved.
