Find the sum of natural numbers 1+ 2 + 3 + 4 + ..... + 18.

Answer»

Let S be the required sum.

Therefore, S = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + .................... + 18.

Clearly, it is an Arithmetic Progression whose first term = 1, last term = 18 and number of terms = 18.

Therefore, S = 18/2 (18+1), [Using the formula S = n/2 (a+1)]

= 18/2 (19)

= 9 X 19

= 171

Therefore, the sum of first 18 natural numbers is 171.

The inexhaustible source of energy of the stars is due to (a) conversion of hydrogen to helium (b) conversion of helium to hydrogen (c) decay of radioactive elements (d) excess of oxygen that helps burning and release of energy

Answer»

(a) conversion of hydrogen to helium

Explanation:

The energy released from the collapse of the gas into a star causes the centre of the star to become extremely hot. When the core is hot enough, nuclear fusion commences. Fusion is the process where two hydrogen atoms combine to form a helium atom, releasing energy.

The fusion reaction is a very efficient process, releasing a huge amount of energy. This is because a single helium atom contains less mass than two hydrogen atoms. The excess mass is released as energy.

What is meant by water divide? Give an example.

Answer»

A water divide or a drainage divide is any elevated area of terrain that separates drainage basins into two parts. It can be a mountain, plateau, or any terrain which is separating neighboring drainage basins. A mountain range can act as a water divide and is known as a dividing range. A continental divide is in which each side of the water flows to different oceans. A major divide is in which the water on each side never meets but converges into the same ocean. A minor divide is in which the water on each side eventually joins into a river confluence. Sometimes these divides can be made due to valleys which lead to tribes or groups of people settling along the shores. Sometimes the water divides can form natural borders which can be defined as political borders between countries or cities.

Ambala is an example of a water divide. It is located between the Indus and Ganga river system.

A number is selected at random from the numbers 7,3,9,7,9,5,7,9,9,5. The probability that the selected number is their average is ...........

Answer»

Average of given numbers  = (7+3+9+7+9+5+7+9+9+5)/10 = 70/10 = 7

Required probability of getting 7 P(7) = 3/10

The probability that the selected number is average is 3/10

Total no. of numbers = 10

Average of numbers =
sum of numbers / total no. of numbers =
(7+3+9+7+9+5+7+9+9+5) / 10 = 7

Probability of getting this number(which obtained from average i.e. 7) 
= no. of 7's / total outcomes = 3/10

How is bank rate used by Central Bank in influencing credit creation by Commercial Banks? Explain.

Answer»

Bank rate is the rate at which central bank offers loans to the Commercial Banks as a lender of last resort. During inflation, when supply of credit is to be reduced, bank rate is increased. This reduces borrowing by the Commercial Banks implying a reduction in their cash reserve and therefore, a reduction in their capacity to create credit. Following increase in bank rate, market rate of interest is also raised, implying a check on borrowings from the Commercial Banks. Thus, overall supply of credit is reduced in the economy. Exactly opposite is done to combat deflation: bank rate is lowered to increase the supply of credit.
