Verify the result for the simple configuration of two charges of the same magnitude and sign placed a certain distance apart. |
|
Answer» For the configuration of the two charges of the same magnitude and sign, the null point is the mid point of the line joining the two charges. If the test charge is displaced slightly from the null point along the line, it will return back due to the restoring force that comes into the day. But if the charge is displaced slightly from the null – point along normal to the line it will not return. This is because the resultant force due to the configuration of two charges will take it away from the null point. For the test charge to be in stable equilibrium restoring force must come into play, when it is displaced in any direction. Hence the test charge cannot be in stable equilibrium. |

What are the type of Colour blindness in human? |
|
Answer» Colour blindness (colour vision deficiency) is a condition in which certain colours cannot be distinguished, and is most commonly due to an inherited condition. Cones (colour sensitive receptors) containing single visual pigments selective for red, green, and blue light, are present in the normal human eye. Disturbances of colour vision will occur if the amount of pigment per cone is reduced or if one or more of the three cone systems are absent. Protanomaly is referred to as "red-weakness", an apt description of this form of colour deficiency. Deuteranomalous person adjust your television and he would add more green and subtract red. He is considered "green weak". Nyctalopia (Greek for "night blindness") is a condition making it difficult or impossible to see in relatively low light. It is a symptom of several eye diseases. Night blindness may exist from birth, or be caused by injury or malnutrition (for example, a lack of vitamin A). The outer area of the retina is made up of more rods than cones. The rod cells are the cells that enable us to see in poor illumination. This is the reason why loss of side vision often results in night blindness. |

\( (a-b) x+(a+b) y=2 a^{2}-2 b^{2} \) \( (a+b)(x+y)=4 a b \)Solve:(a – b) x + (a + b) y = 2a2 – 2b2 and (a + b) (x + y) = 4ab |
|
Answer» The given system of equations are: ⇒x=2ab−a2+b2b
Given that, (a – b) x + (a + b) y = 2a2 – 2b2 (a + b) (x + y) = 4ab (a – b) x + (a + b) y – 2(a2 – b2) = 0 (a + b)x + (a + b)y – 4ab = 0 On comparing both the equation with the general form we get a1 = a – b, b1 = a + b, c1 = -2, a2 = a + b, b2 = a + b, c2 = -4ab Now by using cross multiplication we get x/(b1c2 – b2c1) = y/(c1a2 – c2a1) = 1/(a1b2 – a2b1) ⇒ x/(-(a + b)4ab + 2(a + b) (a2 – b2)) = y/(− 2(a2 − b2)(a + b) + 4ab(a – b)) = 1/((a − b)(a + b) − (a + b)(a + b)) ⇒ x/(2(a + b)(a2 – b2 + 2ab)) = 1/-2b(a + b) x = (2ab – a2 + b2)/b and, = -y/(2(a – b) (a2 + b2) -2b (a + b)) = 1/ -2b(a + b) y = (a – b)(a2 + b2)/ b(a + b) Hence, x = (2ab – a2 + b2)/b and y = (a – b)(a2 + b2)/ b(a + b) |

By selling 90 ball pens for Rs 160 a person loses 20%. How many ball pens should be sold for Rs 96 so as to have a profit of 20% ? |
|
Answer» S.P. of 90 ball pens = Rs 160, Loss = 20% \(\therefore\) C.P. of 90 ball pens = Rs \(\frac{160\times100}{(100-20)}\) = Rs \(\frac{160\times100}{80}\) = Rs 200 \(\therefore\) C.P. of 1 ball pen = Rs \(\frac{20}{9}\) Suppose x ball pens are sold to earn a profit of 20%. Then, C.P. of x ball pens = Rs \(\frac{20}{9}X\) S.P. of x ball pens = Rs 96 \(\therefore\) Profit = Rs\(\Big(96-\frac{20}{9}X\Big)\) Given, profit % = 20% \(\therefore\) \(\frac{\Big(96-\frac{20}{9}X\Big)}{\frac{20X}{9}}\) x 100 = 20 \(\Rightarrow\) \(\big(96-\frac{20X}{9}\big)\)x 5 = \(\frac{20X}{9}\) \(\Rightarrow\) 96 - \(\frac{20X}{9}\) = \(\frac{4X}{9}\) \(\Rightarrow\) \(\frac{24X}{9}\) = 96 \(\Rightarrow\) x = \(\frac{96\times9}{24}\) = 36. \(\therefore\) 36 ball pens should be sold for Rs 96 to earn a profit of 20% |
