Which is the fastest mode of transfer of heat?(a) Conduction(b) Convection(c) Scattering(d) Radiation

Answer» Correct option is (d) Radiation

For explanation I would say: Radiation is the fastest mode of transfer of heat, because radiation travels at the speed of light, which is very quick. The slowest mode of transfer of heat is conduction because it takes place from particle to particle. The fastest is radiation at the speed of light 3,00,000 km in one second.

Why should the finishing of the core be made good enough?(a) The intricate shapes made are difficult for machine finishing(b) The size of the cavities and contours must be accurate to enable perfect assemblies(c) It reduces machining cost and time invested for that(d) All of the mentioned

Answer» The correct option is (d) All of the mentioned

For explanation I would say: The cores are used where machining cost or time is the foundation or is difficult to achieve and hence finishing is done on the core itself.
23903.

Convection does not occur in _______________(a) Solid(b) Liquid(c) Gas(d) Molten Solid

Answer» The correct option is (a) Solid

Explanation: Convection cannot take place in most solids because neither bulk current flows nor significant diffusion of matter can take place. Diffusion of heat takes place in rigid solids, but that is called heat conduction. Convection, however, can take place in soft solids or mixtures where solid particles can move past each other.
23904.

The solubility of oxygen in aqueous solutions is about?(a) 20 ppm(b) 15 ppm(c) 10 ppm(d) 5 ppm

Answer» Correct choice is (c) 10 ppm

Easiest explanation: The solubility of oxygen in aqueous solutions at ambient temperature and pressure is only about 10 ppm. This amount of oxygen is quickly consumed in aerobic cultures and must be constantly replaced by sparging.
23905.

In a _________ circuit, the total resistance is greater than the largest resistance in the circuit.(a) Series(b) Parallel(c) Either series or parallel(d) Neither series nor parallel

Answer» The correct choice is (a) Series

Easy explanation: In series circuits, the total resistance is the sum of all the resistance in the circuit, hence the total is greater than the largest resistance.
23906.

Example of steady-state diffusion is _______________(a) Hydrogen purification by palladium sheets(b) Doping semi-conductors(c) Corrosion resistance of aluminium(d) Decarburization

Answer» Correct answer is (a) Hydrogen purification by palladium sheets

The best I can explain: A practical example of steady-state diffusion – the purification of hydrogen gas. One side of a thin sheet of palladium metal is exposed to the impure gas composed of hydrogen and other gaseous species such as nitrogen, oxygen, and water vapor. The hydrogen selectively diffuses through the sheet to the opposite side, which is maintained at a constant and lower hydrogen pressure.

The ratio of the quantities of acid and water in a mixture is 1 : 3. If 5 L of acid is further added to the mixture, then the new ratio becomes 1 : 2. The quantity of new mixture in litres is.1. 322. 453. 424. 405. 35

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 45

Given:

The ratio of the quantities of acid and water in a mixture is 1 : 3

After added 5 L of acid, the new ratio becomes 1 : 2

Concept Used:

New quantity of Acid/New quantity of Water = (Quantity of Acid + Quantity of Added Acid)/(Quantity of Water + Quantity of Added Water)

Calculation:

Let the quantity of acid in the original mixture be x litres.

And, that of water be 3x L

New quantity of Acid/New quantity of Water = (Quantity of Acid + Quantity of Added Acid)/(Quantity of Water + Quantity of Added Water)

⇒ (x + 5)/3x = 1/2

⇒ 2x + 10 = 3x

⇒ x = 10

Quantity of new mixture = 4x + 5

⇒ 4 × 10 + 5 = 45 litres

  The quantity of new mixture in liters is 45 litres.

Circular plan offer better seismic resistance.(a) True(b) FalseI got this question during a job interview.Asked question is from Circular, Semicircular, Hexagonal & Half Hexagonal Rooms topic in portion Methods of Building Estimate & Estimate of Building of Civil Engineering Drawing

Answer» Right answer is (a) True

Easiest explanation: Considering a rectangular plan, and assuming the lateral load in one direction, its clear that only the two walls in the direction of the force would more or less contribute to the stiffness and thus the seismic resistance. However, in a circular plan, every part of the wall would have some component in the direction of the seismic load. Also, instead of the regular X-shaped cracks (on account of in-plane shear in load bearing walls), a circular plan would experience a parabolic failure pattern, and that could possibly also be a reason for the increased seismic resilience.
23918.

Unit of payment in MKS of painting, varnishing is ___________(a) per sq m(b) sq cm(c) cu m(d) m

Answer» Correct choice is (a) per sq m

The explanation: To ensure your finished oil or acrylic painting to stay looking its best then adding the right varnish in the right way will be a sound investment. Varnish protects the painting from dirt and dust and evens out the painting’s final appearance, making it all equally glossy or matt.

Over the years dirt and dust will stick to the varnish rather than the painting and when the time is right, the varnish itself can be removed and the painting re-varnished to look as good as new.

Causes of neurosis.

Answer»

Causes of neurosis

According to Sigmund Freud (1856-1939), a famous Austrian neurologist who founded the discipline of psychoanalysis, neurosis is a coping strategy caused by unsuccessfully repressed emotions from past experiences.

These emotions overwhelm or interfere with current experience. He gave the example of an overwhelming fear of dogs that may have resulted from a dog-attack earlier in life.

Causes of Neurosis

In modern science, two components are considered among the causes of the development of neurosis: psychogenic and biological.

The inability to adequately respond to external stimuli, which causes stress, is one of the psychogenic causes of neurotic disorders. The first reason for an inadequate reaction could be a low-stress tolerance, as well as high susceptibility to even those things that do not cause a pathological reaction from the psyche in stronger people. Dripping water from a faucet, for example, can cause severe irritability in some people, while others simply do not notice these sounds. As a result, the former has a much higher proclivity and risk of developing a neurosis. It is impossible to discuss the presence of such a person in psychopathology because it is a personality trait, a character caused by a hereditary, genetic or acquired (as a result of upbringing or social environment) factor.

The second cause of psychogenic neurosis is a strong external stimulus that even people with a "strong psyche" find difficult to cope with. Chronic stress at work (professional failures, interpersonal relationships, management bias), conflicts at home, domestic problems, health problems, loss of loved ones, financial problems, and so on are examples of such irritants. Overwork, a lack of adequate rest, and an inability to relax all increase the risk of neurosis.

The biological cause of neurotic disorders is a disruption in the metabolism of neurotransmitters, hormones, vitamins, and other biologically active substances that are essential for the normal functioning of the central nervous system and, in particular, higher nervous activity. This reason cannot be considered separately from psychogenic neurosis because, in the end, it all comes down to impaired brain neuron function; however, what is the primary factor in pathological changes in nerve cells is considered to be the primary cause of neurotic disorder.

Fiber to fabric

Answer» What are Fibres?

Fibres are thin, long, flexible and hair or thread-like structures. The fibres are usually obtained from two main sources- Plants and Animals. These fibres called the Natural Fibres. Cotton, wool, silk are examples of Natural Fibres.

Apart from the natural Fibres, there are Synthetic Fibres which are artificially synthesized by humans with the help of machines and technologies in the textile industries. These fibres are also called as the manmade fibres. Rayon Nylon and polyesters are examples of Synthetic Fibres.

What are Fabrics?

Fabrics are defined as the clothing material, which is made by weaving or knitting threads and is obtained from the yarn. They are made from tiny thread-like fibres. These fibres are twisted to make a yarn.

The characteristics of a fabric depend upon the type of fibre used and the treatment applied to them. Cotton voile, rayon, linen, satin, and denim are different types of fabrics.

Processing of a Fibre into Fabric

The complete process of making or producing Fabrics from fibres includes:

Extraction of fibres either from the plant or animal source.



A group of filament or staple fibres extracted are twisted together to form a yarn.



 These yarn are twisted tightly and allowed to rotate on the different types of by the rollers, weaved and knitted by passing a different number of yarns together to produce Fabrics.

Finally, the fabrics are produced. These fabrics are treated with chemicals in the textile industries to make different types of clothing materials like cotton fabrics, woollen fabrics, silk fabrics, polyester fabrics etc. Later these fabrics are processed for bleaching to give a smooth, shiny look, colour dying to add colours to the fabric materials and screen printings to design the fabrics.

Express \(0.\)\(2\overline{54}\) as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer»

Let x = 0.2bar(54) = 0.2545454... … (1) 

100x = 25.45454545…. … (2) 

Now,

Subtracting equation (1) from equation (2), we get 

100x – x = (25.454545….) – (0.25454545….) 

⇒ 99x = 25.2 

= \(\frac{252}{10}\) 

= \(\frac{126}{5\times 99}\)

⇒ x = \(\frac{126}{5\times 99}\) 

= \(\frac{14}{5\times 11}\) 

= \(\frac{14}{55}\)

Hence, 

Simplest form of \(0.2\overline{54}\) is \(\frac{14}{55}\).

Find the area of a rhombus if its vertices are A(3, 0), B(4, 5), C(–1, 4) and D(–2, –1).

Answer»

Given that,

A(3, 0), B(4, 5), C(–1, 4)and D (–2, –1) are vertices of rhombus. 

We know that,

Area of rhombus = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × product of diagonals 

= \(\frac{1}{2}\) × AC × BD 

Now, 

AC = \(\sqrt{(−1 − 3)^2 + (4 − 0)^2}\) 

(By distance formula)

= \(\sqrt{16 + 16}\)

= 4√2. 

And BD= \(\sqrt{(−2 − 4) ^2 + (−1 − 5) ^2}\) 

= \(\sqrt{36 + 36}\) 

= 6√2. 

∴ Area of rhombus = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × AC × BD 

= \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 4√2 × 6√2 

= 24 square units.

Hence,

Area of rhombus = 24 square units.

23943.

Let f(x) = x1/2(x - 2), x ∈ R & x > 0. Then the critical point of f is

Answer»

f(x)= \(x^\frac12\)(x - 2), x ∈ R & x > 0 .

Domain of  f(x) is (0 , 0).

∴ f1(x) = \(x^\frac12\) + \(\frac12\)\(x^\frac{-1}2\)(x - 2)

for critical point, we have f1(x) = 0

∴ \(x^\frac12\) + \(\frac12\)\(x^\frac{-1}2\)(x - 2) = 0

\(\Rightarrow\) 2x + x - 2 = 0 ( on multiplying both sides by \(2x^\frac{1}2\))

\(\Rightarrow\) 3x - 2 = 0

\(\Rightarrow\) x = \(\frac23\)

Hence, x = \(\frac23\) is a critical point of f.

Transform the following equation into an equation whose roots are four times those of given equation 3x3 - 2x2 - x + 1 = 0.

Answer»

Given equation is 

3x3 - 2x2 - x + 1 = 0----(1)

Let α, ß, γ  are root of equation (1)

\(\therefore\) Sum of roots = -b/a = -(-2)/3 = 2/3

⇒ α + ß + γ  = 2/3 ----(2)

sum of product of two roots = c/a = -1/3

⇒ αß + ßγ + γα = -1/3----(3)

⇒ αßγ = -1/3 ---(4)

Now, 4α + 4ß + 4γ = 4(α + ß + γ) = 4 x 2/3 = 8/3 (From 2)

4α .4ß + 4ß.4γ + 4γ. 4α = 16(αß + ßγ + γα)

 = 16 x -1/3 = -16/3 (From 3)

4α. 4ß. 4γ = 64αßγ = 64 x -1/3 = -64/3 (From (4))

\(\therefore\) Required equation whose roots are 4 times than given roots is x3 - (sum of roots)x2 + (sum of products of two roots)x - (products of roots) = 0

⇒ x3 - (8/3)x2 = (16/3) x - \((-64/3)=0\)

⇒ 3x3 - 8x2 - 16x + 64 = 0 which is required equation.

The zeroes of the polynomial x2-3x-m(m+3) are

Answer»

Let f(x)=x2 −3x−m(m+3) 

Above polynomial can be written as, 

f(x)=x2 −(m+3)x + mx − m(m+3) 

=x(x−m−3) + 3(x−m−3) 

=(x−m−3)(x+m) 

To find the zeroes of f(x), put f(x)=0 

(x−m−3)(x+m)=0 

x−m−3=0 or x=−m

Required zeros are (m+3),−m

The other zero of the polynomial 2x3 + x2 -6x -3, if two of its zeroes are √3 and -√3, is

Answer»

Given polynomial is 2x3 + x2 − 6x − 3 

The two roots of polynomial are −√3​,√3​ 

Let the other root be a

Product of the roots will be - \(\frac{-3}{2}\)

⇒ (-√3)(√3)a = \(\frac{3}{2}\)

⇒a = -\(\frac{1}{2}\) 

So the other zero is -\(\frac{1}{2}\)

If the surface area of a cube is increasing at a rate of 3.6 cm2/sec, retaining its shape; then the rate of change of its volume (in cm3/sec), when the length of a side of the cube is 10 cm, is : (1) 9 (2) 18 (3) 10 (4) 20

Answer»

(a) 9

\(\frac{d}{dt}\)(6a2) = 3.6 ⇒ 12a \(\frac{da}{dt}\) = 3.6

a\(\frac{da}{dt}\) = 0.3

\(\frac{dv}{dt}\) = \(\frac{d}{dt}\)(a3

= 3a \((a\frac{da}{dt})\)

= 3 x 10 x 0.3 

= 9

Let Ui = 1 Xi for i ∈ 50 = Ui = 1 for i ∈ n Yi = T, where each Xi contains 10 elements and each Yi contains 5 elements. If each element of the set T is an element of exactly 20 of sets Xi 's and exactly 6 of sets Yi 's, then n is equal to :(1) 45 (2) 15 (3) 50 (4) 30

Answer»

(4) 30

n(Xi) = 10. Ui = 1 Xi for i ∈ 50 = T,

n (T) = 500 each element of T belongs to exactly 20 elements of 

Xi = 500/20 = 25 distinct elements 

So 5n/6 = 25 

n = 30
