Find the value of \( k \) such that the line \( \frac{x-2}{3}=\frac{y+1}{2}=\frac{z-k}{1} \) - lies in the plane \( x - y - z +8=0 \) |
|
Answer» Given line is \(\frac{x-2}{3}=\frac{y+1}{2}=\frac{z-k}{1}\) = λ (Let) ----- (1) ∴ coefficient of arbitrary point on line (1) are (3λ + 2, 2λ - 1, λ + k). Given that line (1) lies on the plane x - y - z + 8 = 0. ∴ (3λ + 2) - (2λ - 1) - (λ + k) + 8 = 0 \(\Rightarrow\) 3λ - 2λ - λ + 2 + 1 - k + 8 = 0 \(\Rightarrow\) k = 2 + 1 + 8 = 11. Hence, for k = 1 given that line lies on plane x - y - z + 8 = 0. |

Find k if the equation x2 – y2 + 2x + 2y + k = 0 represents a pair of lines. |
|
Answer» Find k if the equation x2 – y2 + 2x + 2y + k = 0 represents a pair of lines. Comparing the given equation with ax2 + 2hxy + by2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 we get a = 1, b = –1, c = k, f = 1, g = 1, h = 0. Since the given equation represents a pair of lines. abc + 2fgh – af2 – bg2 – ch2 = 0. => 1(–1)k + 2(1)(1)(0) – (1)2 – (–1)(1)2 – k(0)2 = 0 => k = 0. |

Answer the following:1. Name two types of Java Programs.2. Define Instance Variable. Give an example of the same.3. Differentiate between Binary Search and. Linear Search. |
|
Answer» 1. There are two types of Java programs — Java Stand-Alone Applications and Java Applets. (i) Java Stand-Alone Applications A stand-alone Java application refers to a Java program that can run independently on a computer. Acrobat Reader is an excellent example of this type of application. In Java, every stand-alone application begins its execution with the main() method. Java stand-alone applications can be classified into two types: a. Console based applications b. Graphical User Interface based applications (ii) Java Applets Java applets are Java applications that run within a web browser. They are mainly used for internet programming. The applet is capable of performing many tasks on a web page, such as displaying graphics, playing sounds, and accepting user input. 2. Variables that are declared inside a class without using the keyword 'static' and outside any member methods are termed instance variables. Each object of the class gets its own copy of instance variables. For example, in the below class: class Cuboid { public void input(int h, int w, int d) { public void computeVolume() { height, width, depth and volume are instance variables. 3. Linear Search: (i) Linear search performs on unsorted list of elements as well as sorted list. (ii) Compare the desired element with all elements in an array until the match is found. (iii) Insertion of an element in an array can be performed very efficiently when array is not ordered. (iv) For large size of array, time required for this search is very larger. (v) Time complexity is as follows : Worst case : N comparison Best case : 1 comparison Binary Search: (i) For binary search, the elements in array are stored in alphabetically or numerically (ii) Compare the value of midpoint with desired value. If the value is greater than midpoint value, the first half is checked, otherwise second half checked until search is successful or interval empty. (iii) An insertion of a new element requires that many elements be physically moved to preserved order. (iv) For large size of array, comparatively time required is less. (v) Time complexity as follows: Worst case : log2 N comparison Best case : 1 comparison |

Why processing is required? Explain the data processing in education and healthcare system with some example. |
| Answer» Importance of data processing includes increased productivity and profits, better decisions, more accurate and reliable. Further cost reduction, ease in storage, distributing and report making followed by better analysis and presentation are other advantages. The need to process data is now widely realized and reflected in every field of work. Let the work be done in a business atmosphere or for educational research purpose, data management systems are used by every business. It is a multidimensional process which is involved in almost every field of human life. Generally speaking, the term “Data Processing” is used where you have to collect innumerable data files from different sources. You have to arrange them in a way that can be practically beneficial for the purpose you have gathered all that material. It is a task of synchronizing collected data from different sources and convert it to an organized form . This makes it easy to understand and retrieve the specific information anytime. There are various data processing methods which include manual data processing, mechanical data processing and electronic data processing. Data processing is one of the most important daily tasks especially when dealing with big data and performing data mining. All those fields where we can expect a huge data available to settle down like education, banking or transportation now realises the importance of data processing. With the emergence of fields like data science, data analysis, big data etc. the need to process data and to understand the importance of processing the data is crucial. | |

Discuss some of the factors which need consideration before deciding on the method of extraction of metal from its ore. |
|
Answer» Some of the factors which need consideration before deciding of extraction of metal from its ore are (i) type of impurity, (ii) the type of metal, (iii) available facility. (i) Type of impurity : The ore is concentrated by the method depending on the type of impurity. (a) Hand picking : In some cases, the ore and the impurities differ in the size and the shapes of the particles. The impurities can be removed mechanically by simply hand picking. (b) Gravity separation : This process of concentration is done in these cases in which the gaugue impurities are lighter than the ore and can be simply removed by washing with a stream of running water. ( c) Froth flotation process : This process of concentration is done in removing gangue from sulphide ores of certain metals. (d) Magnetic separation : This method is used in those cases where either the ore or the impurities are of magntic nature. The concentrated ore is converted into a form which is suitable for reduction to the metal. If the ore is a hydroxide (hydrated oxide), carbonate, or sulphite, it is subjected to calcination or roasting//smeling and thereby converted to the oxide form. In general most of the metals which occur in the combined state are present in their positive oxidation states. They must, therefore, be reduced by electronation, providing electrons to become free metals. The nature of reducing agent to be used in a particular case depends on how difficult the reduction process is. If the metal is very reactive like the alkali metals they can be reducing only be by electrolytic method. Less reactive metals like copper, lead, tin etc. can be reduced by chemical reducing agents. The choice of reducing agent is decided by energetic as well as the economic factors. |
