Using kirchhoff’s rules, calculate the current through the 40Ω and 20Ω resistors in the following circuit : |
|
Answer» For loop ABCDA, 20I + 40(I – I1) = 80 ⇒ 60I – 40 I1 = 80 ⇒ 3I – 2I1 = 4 ……….. (1) For loop EDCFE, -40(I – I1) + 10I1 = 40 -40 I + 40I1 + 10I1 = 40 50I1 – 40I = 40 5I2 – 4I = 4 …………. (2) From (1) and (2), On multiplying (1) × 4 and (2) × 3 we get; 15I1 – 8I1 = 28 7I1 = 28 I1 = 4A Putting in (1), 3I - 2× 4 = 4 3I = 12 I = 4A ∴ Current through 20Ω is I = 4A Current through 40Ω in (I – I1) = 4 – 4 = 0 |

Consider two subsets of R3 given as S1 = {[7, 7, 7]} and S2 = {[ 0, 0, 0]}. Which of the following statements is true?1. Both S2 and S2 are linearly independent2. S1 is linearly independent but S2 is linearly dependent3. S1 is linearly dependent but S2 is linearly independent4. Both S1 and S2 are linearly dependent |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : S1 is linearly independent but S2 is linearly dependent Concept: A set of vectors {v1, v2,…, vp} in a vector space V is said to be linearly independent if the vector equation c1v1 + c2v2 +…+ cpvp = 0 has only one trivial solution c1 = 0, c2 = 0,…, cp = 0; The set is said to be linearly dependent if there exists weights c1, c2,…, cp not all 0, such that c1v1 + c2v2 +…+ cpvp = 0 Calculation: Given S1 = {(7,7,7)} ⇒ v1 = (7,7,7) S2 = (0,0,0) A set containing zero vector is linearly dependent ⇒ S2 is linearly dependent Let S1 = (v1) and the vector equation be av1 = 0 ⇒ 7a = 0 ⇒ a = 0 Since, the constant is zero, S1 will be linearly independent. |

|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : Rank of T = Nullity of T = 2 Concept: Let V and W be a vector space over F and T: V → W is a linear transformation then null space of T is given by Ker T = {v ∈ V | T(v) = 0 where 0 ∈ W} So, the nullity of T is the dimension of the null space of T. Range space of T is given by R(T) = {w ∈ W| T(v) = w fo v ∈ V} and Rank of T is the dimension of R(T) Rank - Nullity Theorem: Let T be a linear transformation from V to W i.e T: V → W and V is a finite-dimensional vector space then Rank (T) + Nullity (T) = dim V Analysis: Given: T : R4 → R4 T(x, y, z, u) = (x, y, 0, 0) Let us first find the dimension of null space (nullty) Null space of T = kernel of T (ker T) Ker T = { v ∈ V | T(v) = 0} Ker T = (0, 0, 0, 0) = (x, y, 0, 0) x = 0, y = 0 The dimension of Ker T = dimension of basis of Ker T = 2 ∴ Nullity = 2 dim (V) = 4 ∴ 4 = Nullity + Rank (T) Rank (T) = 4 – 2 = 2 |

Study the following statements and select the correct option (A) Buds are present in the axil of leaflets of the compound leaf (B) Pulvinus leaf-base is present in some leguminous plants (C) In Alstonia,the petioles expand,become green and synthesize food (D) Opposite phyllotaxy is seen in guava.A. I and IIB. I and IIIC. II and IIID. I,II and III |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - B Most of the leaves have a swollen leaf base known as pulvinus. Its attachment on the stem is not strong. In guava opposite phyllotaxy is found. In this case all the pairs of leaves of a branch arise in same plane, so that two vertical rows are formed. In Australian Acacia, petiole gets modified into leaf like structure and synthesise fcod. In Eichhornia, petiole becomes spongy and helps in floating. |

Amongst the following statements regarding adsorption, those that are valid are :(a) ΔH becomes less negative as adsorption proceeds. (b) On a given adsorbent, ammonia is adsorbed more than nitrogen gas. (c) On adsorption, the residual force acting along the surface of the adsorbent increases(d) With increase in temperature, the equilibrium concentration of adsorbate increases.(1) (b) and (c) (2) (a) and (b) (3) (d) and (a)(4) (c) and (d) |
|
Answer» Answer is (2) (a) and (b) (a) Since adsorption is exothermic process, as adsorption proceeds number of active sites present over adsorbent decreases, so less heat is evolved. (b) Since NH3 has higher force of attraction on adsorbent due to its polar nature (high value of 'a'). (c) As the adsorption increases, residual forces over surface decreases. (d) Since process is exothermic, on increasing temperature it shift to backward direction, so concentration of adsorbate particle decreases. |
