Actual time passed = (6 days * 24 hours) + 19 hours = 163 hours. given: Clock losses 4 minute in every single day. (i.e.) In 1440 minutes (24hours * 60 minutes) it losses 4 minutes. Therefore, the minute hand moves at a slightly slower manner. That is, the speed of minute hand can be expressed as 1436/1440 fractional part of one minute. Actual time elapsed is just the reciprocal of it. (i.e.) 1440/1436 Thus in the given time of 163 hours, the actual time elapsed = 163 (hours) * 60 (minutes) * 1440/1436 (minutes hand) But due to loss in time, the time elapsed by clock is different and = 163*60 Now calculate the difference = (163*60*1440/1436) - (163*60) = 9780/359 Hope you are clear now... 9 A bank pays interest @ 8 percent p.a. on a deposit for half a quarter as well as on a deposit for one quarter.

He pays $60 for it, and he is very content with the strong animal. After a year, the value of the horse has increased to $70 and he decides to sell the horse. But already a few days later he regrets his decision to sell the beautiful horse, and he buys it again. Unfortunately he has to pay $80 to get it back, so he loses $10. After another year of owning the horse, he finally decides to sell the horse for $90. What is the overall profit the man makes? Answer Consider the trade-story as if it describes two separate trades, where: In the first trade, the man buys something for $60 and sells it again for $70, so he makes a profit of $10. In the second trade, the man buys something for $80 and sells it again for $90, so he makes again a profit of $10. Conclusion: The man makes an overall profit of $10 + $10 = $20. You can also look at the problem as follows: The total expenses are $60 + $80 = $140 and the total earnings are $70 + $90 = $160. The overall profit is therefore $160 - $140 = $20. 13.The difference between a two-digit number and the number obtained by interchanging the positions of its digits is 36. What is the difference between the two digits of that number? The difference between the two digits of that number is 4. Explanation: Let the ten's digit be x and unit's digit be y. Then, (10x+y)-(10y+x) = 36 i.e. 9(x-y) = 36 and that results to x-y = 4. 14Joyce has bought ten trees for her garden. She wants to plant these trees in five rows, with four trees in each row.

Outside of the room there are three switches, of which only one is connected to the lamp. In the starting situation, all switches are off and the bulb is not lit. If it is allowed to check in the room only once to see if the bulb is lit or not (this is not visible from the outside), how can you determine with which of the three switches the light bulb can be switched on? To find the correct switch (1, 2 or 3), turn switch 1 to ON and leave it like that for a few minutes. After that you turn switch 1 back to OFF, and turn switch 2 to ON. Now enter the room. If the light bulb is lit, then you know that switch 2 is connected to it. If the bulb is not lit, then it has to be switch 1 or 3. Now touching the light bulb will give you the answer. If the bulb is still hot, then switch 1 is connected to the bulb; if the bulb is cold, then it has to be switch 3.

Both pipes are opened. The tank will be filled in just 30 minutes, if the pipe B is turned off after ___ . a) 9 min b) 15 min c) 10 min d) 5 min Solution: Pipe A can fill the full tank in 37 ½ = 75/2 minutes. Therefore in one minute it can fill 1/ (75/2) = 2/75thportion of tank. Pipe B can fill the full tank in 45 minutes. Therefore in one minute it can fill 1/45th portion of tank. Let Pipe B be turned off after x minutes Both the pipes would be running for the first x minutes, and then pipe Y alone will run for the remaining (30 – x) minutes. Then Part filled in by (pipe A+ pipe B) in x min + part filled in pipe B in (30-x) min = 1 (as you would be knowing1 represents full tank) Then Part filled in by (pipe A+ pipe B) in x min + part filled in pipe Y in (30-x) min = 1 (as you would be knowing1 represents full tank) Therefore (2/75+1/45)x+(30-x)2/75=1 11x/225+(60-2x)/75 11x+180-6x=225 x = 9 minx = 9 min. Answer: a) 9 min. (2) In a management company 6 boys and 8 Girls can do a piece of work in 10 days while 26 boys and 48 womens can do the same in 2 days.

Answer: d) 7days. (3) Mr.Sairam, a building contractor was approached by karthik Apartments for constructing a new water tank and installation of pipes for filling up the same. Mr.Sairam made a study of the complex and fitted with Pipe A and Pipe B. Pipe A can fill the tank fully in 16 hours and Pipe B can fill the tank fully in 24 hours. Pipe A and Pipe B run together for 8 hours. Thereafter Pipe A was shut and Pipe B alone was used. How many hours more would Pipe B take to fill the tank fully? a) 3 hours b) 6 hours c) 4hours d) 8 hours (Sol): Pipe A can fill the tank fully in 16 hours. In one hour Pipe A will fill 1/16 of the tank. Similarly Pipe B will fill in one hour 1/24 of the tank. The two pipes run for 8 hours. So in 8 hours Pipe A and Pipe B will fill 1/16 + 1/24) 8 = (5/48) x 8 = 5/6 of the tank. 1/6 of the tank is to be filled in by Pipe B hour portion of tank that can be filled 1 1/24 ? 1/6 Pipe B can fill in 1 hour 1/24 of tank 1/6 of the tank will be filled in 1/6 x 24/1 = 4 hours. Answer C)4hours (4) Tarun and Company are experts in providing plumbing facilities. They were approached for construction of a community water tank in uyyuru. Tarun and Company built a huge water tank and fitted it with three pipes named Cauvery, Ganga and Godavari . Pipes Ganga, Cauvery and Godavari can fill the community water tank in 30 hours, 25 hours and 40 hours respectively. In order to see that all the pipes are put into use equally, the Chairman of uyyuru Municipality advised the operator to run the Pipes Ganga, Cauvery and Godavari one after the other i.e. each pipe to be run for one hour each. Viz. Ganga will run for one hour followed by Cauvery for one hour and Godavari for one hour. Again the cycle will be repeated like this. When will the tank be filled fully i.e. during the running of Ganga or Cauvery or Godavari ? a)Ganga,33rd hour b)Ganga,31st hour c)Cauvery,33rd hourb) d) Cauvery,32nd hour Solution: Ganga can fill the tank in 30 hours. In one hour it can fill 1/30th part of tank. Cauvery can fill the tank in 25 hours. In one hour it can fill 1/25th part of tank. Godavari can fill the tank in 40 hours. In one hour it can fill 1/40th part of tank. Ganga, Cauvery and Godavari, when they run for one hour each (totally 3 hours) (1/30 + 1/25 + 1/40 ) of the tank will be filled in. = 59/600 of the tank will be filled in three hours So in 30 hours 590/600 of the tank will be filled in. Portion of tank unfilled after 30 hours would be 1 – 590/600 = 1/60 1/60 of the tank will be left unfilled after 30 hours. During 31st hour Ganga is capable of filling 1/30 of the tank. But since 1/30 is greater than that of the remaining tank portion 1/60, Ganga will be filling the tank during 31st hour comfortably. Answer: B) Ganga,31st hour 5.Three types of tea the a,b,c costs Rs. 95/kg,100/kg and70/kg respectively.

All the mechanical engineering systems are studied with the help of thermodynamics. Hence it is very important for the mechanical engineers. 2. How many Laws of Thermodynamics are there? There are three laws of the thermodynamics. First Law: Energy can be neither created nor destroyed. It can only change forms.In any process in an isolated system, the total energy remains the same. Second Law: When two isolated systems in separate but nearby regions of space, each in thermodynamic equilibrium in itself, but not in equilibrium with each other at first, are at some time allowed to interact, breaking the isolation that separates the two systems, and they exchange matter or energy, they will eventually reach a mutual thermodynamic equilibrium. The sum of the entropies of the initial, isolated systems is less than or equal to the entropy of the final exchanging systems. In the process of reaching a new thermodynamic equilibrium, entropy has increased, or at least has not decreased. Third Law: As temperature approaches absolute zero, the entropy of a system approaches a minimum. 3. State Laws of conservation of energy? According to the laws of conservation of energy, ?energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. It can only be transformed from one form to another.? 4. Is the boiler a closed system? Yes definitely the boiler is a closed system. 5. What is Carnot engine? It was being designed by Carnot and let me tell you that Carnot engine is an imaginary engine which follows the Carnot cycle and provides 100% efficiency. 6. Which formula forms a link between the Thermodynamics and Electro chemistry? Gibbs Helmholtz formula is the formula which forms the link between the thermodynamics and electromagnetism. .Cil-Coal India Limited electronics and electrical questions with answers 1 The drain of an n-channel MOSFET is shorted to the gate so that VGS = VDS.
