What is Chart in Excel? What are the different types of Charts in Excel?

Answer»

Charts allows to present data entered in the worksheet in a visual format using a variety of graph types. 

Before making a chart, first enter data into a worksheet.

Column Charts - They compare distinct items. In this chart category axis is horizontal (Xaxis) and value axis is vertical (Y-axis). It is important to keep the number of series in a column chart to a minimum. Many series cause the column to become narrow and difficult to analyze. Column charts are used for making comparisons.

Bar Charts - Compare different items or show single items at different intervals. It is similar to column chart except that the chart value axis is horizontal (X-axis) and category axis is vertical (Y-axis).

Area Charts – They show the relative contributions of each value to a total over time.

Line Charts - These charts are useful to compare the trends over time.

Pie Charts - The chart show the proportion of each part value to the total value in a data series. They are used to show proportional sales figures or representation of different categories of population like workers/non-workers, male/female, adults/children, etc.

The choice of a refrigerant depends upon : 1. Refrigerating capacity 2. Type of compressor used (reciprocating, centrifugal or screw) 3. Service required (whether for air conditioning, cold storage or food freezing) Which of the above statements is/are correct? (a) 1 and 3 only (b) 1 only (c) 3 only (d) 1, 2 and 3

Answer»

(d) 1, 2 and 3

The choice of a refrigerant depends

1. If a refrigerant has large latent heat of evaporation the size of condenser evaporator and compressor reduces because less mass flow rate. 

2. If a specific volume a refrigerant is large at evaporator pressure, the size of compressor increases. Large specific volume refrigerant are compressed by centrifugal compressor and less specific by centrifugal compressor and less specific volume refrigeants by reciprocating compressor. 

3. Off course evaporator temperature (high for air conditioner as compared to cold storage) also influence the refrigerant choice.

A refrigeration plant working on Carnot cycle is designed to take the load of 4T of refrigeration. The cycle works between 2°C and 27°C. The power required to run the system is : (a) 1.27 kW (b) 3.71 kW (c) 5.71 kW (d) 7.27 kW

Answer»

(a) 1.27 kW 

Refrigeration plant on Carnot cycle takes load

i.e. Refrigeration effect, R = 4T=4 × 3.5 =14 kW 

The working temperature, 

T1 = 27°C = 300K 

T2 = 2°C = 275K 

\(\therefore\) COP is defined as,

\(\cfrac RW\) = \(\cfrac{T_2}{T_1-T_2}\)

\(\cfrac {14}W\) = \(\cfrac{275}{300-275}\) = \(\cfrac{275}{25}\) = 11

\(\therefore\) Power required to run the compressor,

p = \(\cfrac {14}{11}\) = 1.27 kW

38.

Find the derivative w = sin4 y cos4y.

Answer»

W = sin4y cos4y

\(\frac{dW}{dy}\) = sin4\(\frac{d}{dy}\) cos4y + (\(\frac{d}{dy}\) sin4y) cos4y

 = -4 sin4y cos3y sin y + 4 sin3y cos y cos4y

 = 4 sin3y cos3y (cos2y - sin2y)

 = 4 sin3y cos3y cos 2y

39.

If a negative test charge of magnitude 2 x 10-6  is placed at this point what is the force experienced by the charge.

Answer»

EA = \(\frac1{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\frac{q}{r^2}\)

EA = 9 x 10x \(\frac{2}{5^2}\)

EA = \(\frac{18\times10^9}{25}\) ⇒ 0.72 x 109 N/C

EB = \(\frac1{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\frac{q}{r^2}\) 

 = 9 x109 x \(\frac2{5^2}\)

EB = \(\frac{18}{25}\times10^9\)

EB = 0.72 x 109 N/C

E = EA + EB

E = 0.72 x 109 + 0.72 x 109

E = 1.44 x 109 N/C

F = qE

F = 6 x 1.44 x 109

F = 8.64 x 10N

Smallest unit of meaning in a language is1. syntax2. morpheme3. phoneme4. pragmatics

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : morpheme

Language is a system of communication that is used to express thoughts, ideas and feelings. Language is a vital part of human connection. Humans are the only ones that have mastered cognitive language connection.

A morpheme is the smallest unit of meaning in language providing the foundation of language and can not be divided into smaller parts carrying meaning. It has relatively the same stable meaning in different verbal environments. The study of morphemes is called Morphology.  There are two types of morphemes- Free Morphemes and Bound Morphemes.

  • Free Morphemes can stand alone with specific meanings. It can be formed independently. For example; happy, get, when, etc. All of them have individual meaning and are free morphemes. 
  • Free Morphemes can be categorized into two types: Lexical Morphemes and Grammatical / Functional Morphemes
    1. Lexical Morphemes are those that are large in number and independently meaningful. It includes nouns, adjectives and verbs. Example; boy, bad etc.
    2. Grammatical / Functional Morphemes consist of functional words in a language such as prepositions, pronouns, determiners, conjunctions. Example; but, on, and, above etc.  
  • Bound Morphemes do not have any independent meaning and can be formed with help of free morphemes. Example; un, pre, en, etc. Bound Morphemes can be categorized into two sub-classes: Bound Roots and Affixes.
    1. Bound Roots have lexical meaning when included in other bound morphemes to form the content word. Example;- tain (retain, contain).
    2. Affixes naturally attached different types of words and used them to change the meaning of those words. Example;-ing in reading, writing, sleeping.

Hence, the smallest unit of meaning in language is morphemes.

  • Syntax:  Syntax is the arrangement of words and phrases to create well-formed sentences in a language.
  • Phoneme: Phoneme is the smallest unit of speech distinguishing one word from another, as the element 't' in a cat which separates that word from "can", "cab".
  • Pragmatics: Pragmatics is the branch of linguistics, which is the study of language.

The coefficient of x^2 in the expansion of the product (2 - x^2)· ((1 + 2x + 3x^2)^6 + (1 - 4x^2)^6) is

Answer»

Let a=((1+2x+3x2)6+(1−4x2)6)

∴ Coefficient of x2 in the expansion of the product (2−x)2((1+2x+3x2)6+(1−4x2)6)

    =2( Coefficient of x2 in a)−1(Constant of expansion)

In the expansion of ((1+2x+3x2)6+(1−4x2)6), 

Constant =1+1=2

Coefficient of x2= Coefficient of x2 in (6C0​(1+2x)6(3x2)0)+ Coefficient of x2 in (6C1​(1+2x)53)−6C1​(4)

=6C2​4+6×3−24

=6=+18−24=54

Then, coefficient of x2 in (2−x)2((1+2x+3x2)6+(1−4x2)6)

=2×54−1(2)=108−2=106

If \( f(x)=\frac{e^{2 x-1}}{1+e^{2 x-1}} \), then the value of \( f\left(\frac{1}{2009}\right)+f\left(\frac{2}{2009}\right)+f\left(\frac{3}{2009}\right)+\ldots . .+f\left(\frac{2008}{2009}\right) \) is (1) \( 1002.5 \) (2) \( 1001.5 \) (3) 1003 (4) 1004

Answer»

f(x) = \(\frac{e^{2x-1}}{1+e^{2x-1}}\) 

f(1-x) = \(\frac{e^{2(1-x)-1}}{1+e^{2(1-x)-1}}\) = \(\frac{e^{1-2x}}{1+e^{1-2x}}\) = \(\frac{e^{-(2x-1)}}{1+e^{-(2x+1)}}\)

 = \(\frac1{e^{2x-1}+1}=\frac1{1+e^{2x-1}}\) 

\(\therefore\) f(x) + f(1 - x) = \(\frac{e^{2x-1}+1}{1+e^{2x-1}}=1\)

\(\therefore\) f(1/2009) + f(2008/2009) = 1

\(\therefore\) f(2/2009) + f(2007/2009) = 1

f(1004/2009) + f(1005/2009) = 1

\(\therefore\) f(1/2009) + f(2008/2009) + f(2/2009) + f(2007/2009) +....f(1004/2009) +f(1005/2009)

= 1 + 1 + ...1 (10004 times) = 1004

⇒ f(1/2009) + f(2/2009) + .... + f(1004/2009) + f(1005/2009) + ....+ f(2007/2009) + f(2008/2009) = 1004

If \( x^{2}-x+1 \) divides the polynomial \( x^{n+1}-x^{n}+1 \), then \( n \) must be of the form(a) \( 3 k+1 \)(b) \( 6 k+1 \)(c) \( 6 k-1 \)(d) \( 3 k-1 \)

Answer»

For n = 1, xn+1 - xn + 1 = x2 - x + 1 which is exactly divided by x2 - x +1.

\(\therefore\) options (c) & (d) are wrong.

For n = 4, xn+1 - xn + 1 = x5 - x4 + 1 

And \(\frac{x^5-x^4+1}{x^2-x+1}\) = x3 - x - 1 + \(\frac2{x^2-x+1}\) does not divided by x2 - x + 1.

For n = 7, xn+1 - xn + 1 = x8 - x7 + 1

And \(\frac{x^8-x^7+1}{x^2-x+1}\) = x6 - x4 - x4 + x + 1

Hence, x2 - x + 1 divides xn+1 - xn + 1 for n = 7

which satisfies by option (b).

Hence, for dividing xn+1 - xn + 1 by x2 - x + 1

then n must be of the form 6k + 1.

\(\frac{2x+1}{(x-1)(x-2)(x-3)}\) resolve into partial fraction.

Answer»

\(\frac{2x+1}{(x-1)(x-2)(x-3)}=\frac A{x-1}+\frac B{x-2}+\frac c{x-3}\) 

⇒ 2x + 1 = A(x - 2)(x - 3) + B(x - 1)(x - 3) + c (x - 1)(x - 2)---(1)

Put  x = 1 in equation (1) we get

2A = 2 + 1 = 3 ⇒ A = 3/2

Put x = 2 in equation (1), we get

-B = 5 ⇒ B = -5

Put x = 3 in equation (1), we get

2c = 7 ⇒ c = 7/2

Hence, \(\frac{2x+1}{(x-1)(x-2)(x-3)}=\frac{3/2}{x-1}-\frac5{x-2}+\frac{7/2}{x-3}\)

Resolve into partial fraction \( \frac{1}{(x-1)\left(x^{2}-9\right)} \)

Answer»

complex rational statement is decomposed into two or more simpler fractions using partial fractions. To divide fractions into several sub-fractions, partial fractions ideas are employed.

Given:

\frac{1}{(x-1)(x^{2}-9) }

Find

Resolve the expression to a partial fraction.

Solution:

The given expression can be written as,

\begin{gathered}\frac{1}{(x-1)(x^{2}-9) }= \frac{1}{(x-1)(x-3)(x+3) }\\\\ \frac{1}{(x-1)(x-3)(x+3) } = \frac{A}{(x-3)}+ \frac{B}{(x+3) }+ \frac{C}{(x-1) }\end{gathered}

\(\frac1{(x-1)(x^2-9)}\) = \(\frac1{(x-1)(x-3)(x+3)}\) = \(\frac A{(x-1)}+\frac {B}{x-3}+\frac C{x+3}\)

⇒ A (x - 3) (x + 3) + B (x - 1)(x + 3) + C(x - 1)(x - 3) = 1

Put x = 1, we get -8A = 1 ⇒ A = -1/8

Put x = 3, we get 12B  = 1 ⇒ B = 1/12

Put x = -3, we get 24C = 1 ⇒ C = 1/24

Hence\(\frac1{(x-1)(x^2-9)}\)\(\frac{1}{x-1}+\frac1{12}\frac1{x-3}+\frac{1}{24}\frac1{x+3}\)

50.

Resolve the function \( f(x)=\frac{x^{3}}{\left(x^{2}+1\right)(x+1)} \) into partial fractions.

Answer»

f(x) = \(\frac{x^3}{(x^2+1)(x+1)}\) 

\(\frac{x^3}{x^3+x^2+x+1}\) 

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

Now,

\(\frac{x^2+x+1}{(x^2+1)(x+1)}\) = \(\frac{A}{x+1}\) + \(\frac{Bx+c}{x^2+1}\)

⇒ x2 + x + 1 = A(x2+1)+(Bx+c)(x+1)

Put x = -1, we get

2A = 1-1+1 = 1

⇒ A = \(\frac{1}{2}\)

Put x = 0, we get

A + C = 1

⇒ C = 1 - A

= 1 - \(\frac{1}{2}\)

\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Put x = 1, we get

2A + 2B + 2C = 3

⇒ 2C = 3 - 2A - 2B 

= 3 - 1 - 1 

= 1

⇒ C = \(\frac{1}{2}\) 

Hence,

\(\frac{x^2+x+1}{(x^2+1)(x+1)}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)(\(\frac{1}{x+1}\) + \(\frac{x+1}{x^2+1}\))

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

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