In a cement factory there are 95 workers, 57 workers support cash payment method and 76 workers support online payment method, If every worker support at least one payment method then find the number of workers who support both payment methods?1. 332. 353. 384. 32

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 38

Given:

Total worker in the cement factory = 95

Number of workers support cash payment method = 57

Number of workers support online payment method = 76

Every worker support at least one payment method

Calculation:

Let the number of workers support both the payment methods be W

Total number of workers = Number of workers support cash payment method + Number of workers support online payment method – Number of workers support

both payment methods

95 = 57 + 76 – W

⇒ W = 133 – 95

⇒ W = 38

∴ The number of workers in the cement factory who support both the payment methods are 38.

A man weighing 80 kg is standing in a trolley weighing 320 kg. The trolley is resting on frictionless horizontal rails. If the man starts walking on trolley with a speed of 1m/s, then after 4 seconds his displacement relative to the ground will be A. 5 mB. 4.8 mC. 3.2 m D. 3.0 m

Answer»

Correct Answer is (C)

Explanation:

Let Vmg = velocity of man with respect to ground
Vtg = velocity of trolley with respect to ground
Vmt = velocity of man with respect to trolley = 1 m/s
Let M = mass of person = 80 kg
Let M' = the mass of trolley = 320kg
from relative motion 
Vtg = Vmg - Vmt --------------------(1)

Initially trolley and man were at rest initial momentum = 0
According to law of conservation of momentum

VmgM + VtgM' = 0

Substituting value of Vtg from equation (1) 

VmgM + (Vmg - Vmt)M' = 0 

⇒ Vmg(M + M') - VmtM'

Vmg(320 + 80) = 1(320) 

⇒ Vmg = 320/400 = 0.8 m/s

Thus displacement of man with respect to observer = Vmg × time = 0.8 × 4 = 3.2 m

The power of a converging lens is 10D. If it forms a real image at a distance of 40 cm from the lens, calculate the position of the object.

Answer»

\(f=\frac{1}{10}=0.1\,m=10\,cm\)

\(\frac{1}{40}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{10}\)

\(\frac{1}{40}-\frac{1}{10}=\frac{1}{u}\)

\(\frac{1-4}{40}=\frac{1}{u}\)

\(\frac{-3}{40}=\frac{1}{u}\)

\(u=\frac{-40}{3}\)

16.

If A forms the image on the same side as the object and B on the other side of the lens for a given object placed at 20 cm from each lens, calculate the power of each lens.

Answer»

For lens A

\(\frac{h_i}{h_0}=\frac{-(-v)}{u}\)

\(\frac{2}{6}=\frac{+v}{-20}\)

\(v=-\frac{20}{3}\,cm\)

u = - 20 cm

\(v=\frac{-20}{3}\,cm\)

\(\frac{1}{f}=\frac{-3}{20}+\frac{1}{20}=\frac{-20}{20}=\frac{-1}{10}\)

f = - 10 cm

\(P=\frac{100}{-10}=-10\,D\)

For lens B

\(\frac{2}{6}=\frac{-v}{-20}\)

\(v=+\frac{20}{3}\,cm\)

\(\frac{1}{f}=\frac{3}{20}+\frac{1}{20}=\frac{4}{20}\)

\(f=\frac{20}{4}=5\,cm\)

\(P=\frac{100}{5}=20\,D\)

In Figure the line VXYW represents the threshold of hearing at various frequencies for a normal subject. The: a. Sound waves with the characteristics represented by point Z are audible to the subject. b. Interval AB on the ordinate represents 2.0 rather than 20 decibels. c. Point D on the abscissa corresponds to 5000 rather than 1000 Hz. d. Segment XY includes the frequencies most important in the auditory perception of speech. e. Curve is shifted downwards in the presence of background noise.

Answer»

a. False Anything below the line is inaudible, having less energy than the threshold value for detection at a particular frequency (Hz). 

b. False AB and BC both represent 20 decibels; thus sounds at the extremes of the hearing range need relatively high energy to be heard. 

c. False It corresponds to 1000 Hz; the frequency (or pitch) scale is logarithmic. 

d. True The ear is most sensitive to sounds in the range 1000–3000 Hz (XY), which includes the frequencies most important in distinguishing the different words in speech. 

e. False It is shifted upwards since extraneous (masking) noise raises auditory threshold, that is the lowest energy level at which a sound of a particular frequency can just be detected.

In Figure which illustrates the handling of glucose by the kidney: a. Line A represents the rate of glucose filtration by the glomeruli. b. Line B could represent the rate of absorption of glucose by the proximal convoluted tubules. c. Line C follows curve DE rather than angle DFE because different nephrons have different thresholds. d. H indicates the maximal reabsorbing capacity of the kidney for glucose. e. Renal poisons such as phlorhizin lower the value of H and shift line B to the right.

Answer»

a. True The rate of filtration is directly proportional to the plasma concentration. 

b. False Line B represents the rate of excretion of glucose; line C represents glucose reabsorbed; at low glucose concentrations absorption increases with the concentration and is complete; above these levels, EC, the maximal amount of glucose is absorbed and the rest excreted. 

c. True Notice that glucose excretion gradually builds up at the same time due to loss of glucose by the less effective nephrons. 

d. True The diagram shows features which are typical of a transport system with a limited maximal reabsorbing capacity. 

e. False Though H is lowered, the reduction of Tm (glucose) results in glucose excretion at lower plasma glucose levels so the line B shifts to the left.

Answer»

A. True Due to cerebral ischaemia caused by the abrupt fall in arterial pressure. 

B. False Increased vagal activity slows the heart and reduces cardiac output. 

C. True This vasodilation reduces peripheral resistance. 

D. True Because of gravity, pressure in cerebral arteries is lower when standing than when lying down. 

E. False The skin vasoconstriction in cold environments raises peripheral resistance.

When the heart suddenly stops beating (cardiac asystole) A. The physical signs are similar to those of ventricular fibrillation. B. Consciousness is lost after 1–2 minutes. C.

Answer»

A. True In both cases there is no useful cardiac output. 

B. False Consciousness is lost within about five seconds. 

C. False 60–80 compressions/minute are needed to maintain flow to the brain.

48.

Figure shows two electrocardiogram records from a patient. Record B was taken one year after record A was obtained. In these records: a. The QRS axis in A is directed to the left rather than to the right of vertical. b. The QRS complexes V1, V4 and V6 in A suggest left, rather than right, ventricular hypertrophy. c. The change from A to B suggests a return towards normality. d. The QRS axis in B is directed downwards rather than upwards. e. The inversion of T in leads III and V1 in record A indicates myocardial is chaemia.

Answer»

a. False The net QRS in lead I is negative, indicating an axis to the right rather than the left; this is confirmed by lead III having a large positive deflection. 

b. False The R dominance in V1 and the prominent S wave in V4 suggest an abnormally great contribution from the right ventricle in these leads. 

c. True In record B, V1 now shows a normal S wave; V4 has lost its S wave to show only a normal R wave. 

d. True It is roughly 60o below the horizontal (close to the axis of lead II). The swing from right (A) to left (B) indicates return of left ventricular dominance, as do the V lead changes. 

e. False Occasional T wave inversion is common and usually has no sinister significance.

49.

Figure shows some of the effects of simulating mildly increased gravitational stress by lower body suction. For each of the physiological variables a–e below, select the most appropriate option from the following list of trends. 1. Trend A. 2. Trend B. 3. Trend C. a. Forearm blood flow. b. Cardiac output. c. Mean arterial pressure. d. Total peripheral resistance. e. Renin secretion.

Answer»

a. Option 3 Trend C. The forearm blood flow falls as part of the general vasoconstriction that helps to maintain arterial blood pressure. 

b. Option 3 Trend C. As the blood pools in the lower body due to suction, the filling pressure of the heart decreases and so the cardiac output falls. 

c. Option 1 Trend A. During this relatively mild gravitational stress, arterial pressure is quite well maintained by mechanisms that compensate for the shift of blood volume towards the feet. 

d. Option 2 Trend B. The shift of blood initiates reflex mechanisms to increase total peripheral resistance to help to maintain arterial pressure. 

e. Option 2 Trend B. The diminished blood flow to the kidneys with vasoconstriction related to the fall in cardiac output and output results in the release of renin from the juxtaglomerular apparatus that again helps to maintain arterial blood pressure.
