A can do a work in 12 days and B can do the same work in 16 days. If they work on it together for 4 days. Then the fraction of the work that is left is:1. 7/82. 9/163. 3/54. 5/12

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 5/12

Given-

Time taken by A to do a work = 12 days

Time taken by B to do the same work = 16 days

Concept Used-

Total Work = Efficiency × Total Time

Calculation- 

Let the total work be 48 units.

Efficiency of A = 48/12

⇒ 4

Efficiency of B = 48/16

⇒ 3

Work done them in 4 days = 4 × (4 + 3)

⇒ 28 units

Left Work = 48 - 28

⇒ 20 units

∴ Fraction of work that is left = 20/48

⇒ 5/12

(i) Crystals of copper sulphate are heated in a test tube for some time.(a) What is the colour of copper sulphate crystals before heating, and after heating?(b) What is the source of liquid droplets seen on the inner upper side of the test tube during the heating process(ii) A metal 'X' when dipped inaqueous solution of aluminium sulphate no reaction is observed whereas when it is dipped in an aqueous solution of ferrous sulphate, the pale green solution turns colourless. Identify metal 'X' with reason

Answer»

(i) (a) The colour of copper sulphate crystals before heating is blue and turns after heating.
(b) the liquid droplets are actually the water droplets. The source of water droplets is the water of crystallisation of hydrated copper sulphate crystals (CuSO4.5H2O).
(ii)When metal 'X' is dipped in 
aqueous solution of aluminium sulphate no reaction is observed, it means it is less reactive than aluminium. But when it is dipped in ferrous sulphate solution, the solution turns from pale green to colourless, so 'X' is more reactive than iron and thus displaces it from its solution. 

Therefore, 'X' must be zinc. It reacts with ferrous sulphate to form colourless zinc sulphate solution by displacing iron.
Zn(s) + FeSO4(aq) ------> ZnSO4(aq) + Fe(s)

Minerals that lie near the earth surface are simply dug out by the process known as1. quarrying2. calcination3. open-cast mining4. sintering

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : quarrying

Minerals that lie near the earth surface are simply dug out by the process known as quarrying

Quarrying:

  • Quarrying refers to extracting materials directly from the surface. 
  • It is the process of removing rock, sand, gravel, or minerals from the ground in order to use them to produce materials for construction or other uses.
  • A quarry is a type of open-pit mine in which dimension stone, rock, construction aggregate, riprap, sand, gravel, or slate is excavated from the ground.
  • The operation of quarries is regulated in some jurisdictions to reduce their environmental impact.
  • The word quarry can also include the underground quarrying for stone, such as Bath stone.
  • The method of removal of stones from their natural bed by using different operations is called quarrying.

Methods of quarrying include:

  1. Digging – This method is used when the quarry consists of small & soft pieces of stones.
  2. Heating – This method is used when the natural rock bed is horizontal and small in thickness.
  3. Wedging –This method is used when the hard rock consists of a natural fissure. When natural fissures are absent then artificial fissures are prepared by drilling holes.
  4. Blasting – It is the process of removal of stones with the help of controlled explosives that is filled in the holes of the stones. The line of least resistance plays a very important role in the blasting process.

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.

Open Cast Mining:

  • Open Cast Mining is the process under which minerals are mined near the earth's surface.
  • Opencast mining is the process that involves the removal of ore from seams relatively near the surface by means of an open pit.
  • These mines occupy a large area of land for excavation of the ore and disposal of the overburden.

Calcination:

  • Calcination, the heating of solids to a high temperature for the purpose of removing volatile substances, oxidizing a portion of the mass, or rendering them friable. 
  • Calcination, therefore, is sometimes considered a process of purification.

Sintering:

  • Sintering is the process of fusing particles together into one solid mass by using a combination of pressure and heat without melting the materials.
  • Common particles that are sintered together include metal, ceramic, plastic, and other various materials.
