Report writing on city hospitals. |
|
Answer» City Hospitals November 25, Nagpur Directed by the Health Department I visited as many as ten leading hospitals of the city’ last week. Most of the hospitals have double/triple storey buildings with the most modem infra-structure. But the maintenance of the hospitals is not satisfactory. The number of patients in each hospital is more than manageable. As a result of it out-door patients have to wait for hours to see the doctor. The quality of service is very good indeed. The doctors are highly qualified and awakened to their duty. What pinches the patients is the waiting period for treatment. Sometimes the patient is having acute pain or due to extreme old age is not able to wait. The only provision for such cases is that they should pay double fee for seeing the . doctor out of turn. While the rich grab such an opportunity, the poor have to sit in the waiting room for hours. Emergency facilities are available in every hospital. Ambulance service is available to transport patients from any part of the city to the desired place. Almost all the hospitals are fully equipped with modem equipment. The only thing which pinches the patients sometimes is the rudeness of the nurses and the overworked staff. Patients need sympathy sometimes more than even the treatment. |

4 out of 5 cricketers have played 13, 9, 5, 11 innings respectively. If the mean of the data set is 9, then the number of innings played by the 5th player isA. 9B. 8C. 7D. 61. C2. D3. B4. A |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : C Given: 4 cricketers played 13, 9, 5, and 11 innings Mean = 9 Formula used: Mean = Sum of all observations/Number of observations Calculation: Let the 5th player played x innings. Sum of all innings played by 5 players = 13 + 9 + 5 + 11 + x ⇒ Sum of all innings = 38 + x Total players = 5 Mean = Sum of all innings played by 5 players/Total players ⇒ 9 = (38 + x)/5 ⇒ 45 = 38 + x ⇒ x = 45 – 38 = 7 ∴ Innings played by 5th player is 7 |

Average height & variance of `5` students in a class is `150` and `18` respectively. A new student whose height is `156 cm` is added to the group. Find new variance. (a) `20` (b) `22` (c) `16` (d) `14`A. 16B. 22C. 20D. 18 |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - C Let `x_(1), x_(2), x_(3),x_(4),x_(5)` be the heights of five students. Then, We have ` " Mean,"bar(x)=(sum_(i=1)^(5)x_(i))/(5)=150 rArr sum_(i=1)^(5)x_(i)=750 " ...(i) " ` ` " and variance " =(sum_(i=1)^(5)x_(i)^(2))/(n)-(bar(x))^(2)` `rArr (sum_(i=1)^(5)x_(i)^(2))/(5)-(150)^(2)=18` `rArr sum_(i=1)^(5)x_(i)^(2)=112590 " ... (ii)" ` Now, new mean `=(sum_(i=1)^(6)x_(i))/(6)` `=(sum_(i=1)^(5)x_(i)+156)/(6)=(750+156)/(6)` [using Eq. (i)] `rArr bar(x)_("new") =151` and new variance `= (sum_(i=1)^(6)x_(i)^(2))/(6)-(bar(x)_("new"))^(2) =(sum_(i=1)^(5)x_(i)^(2)+(156)^(2))/(6)-(151)^(2)` `=(112590+(156)^(2))/(6)-(151)^(2) " " ` [using Eq. (ii)] `=22821 - 22801=20` |

For a University cricket team, 2 players are to be selected from a certain College among 5 batsmen, 3 bowlers and 2 wicket keepers. Find the probability of selecting (i) a batsman and a wicket keeper (ii) no wicket keeper. |
|
Answer» n = Total number outcomes to select 2 players from (5 batsmen + 3 bowlers + 2 wicket keepers) 10 players = 10C2 = 45 ways (i) m = One batsman out of 5 batsmen and one wicket keeper out of can be 2 selected in (5C1 × 2C1) = 5 × 2 = 10 outcomes. P (Selecting one batsman and one wicket keeper) = m/n = 10/45 = 2/9. (ii) m = no wicket keeper which means both the players are either batsmen or bowlers. P (Selecting two players but no wicket keeper) = m/n = 28/45. |

If `A=(3 5 7 9)`is written as A = P + Q, where P is a symmetric matrix and Q is skewsymmetric matrix, then write the matrix P. |
|
Answer» Any matrix `A` can be written as sum of symmetric and skew symmetric matrix. `A = 1/2(A+A^T)+1/2(A-A^T)` We are given `A = P+Q` So, `P = 1/2(A+A^T)` as `P` is symmetric matrix. `:. P = 1/2[[3,5],[7,9]]+[[3,7],[5,9]]` `=>P = [[3,6],[6,9]]` |

Answer» Correct Answer - A Archaebacteria are the most primitive form of bacteria. These live in diverse habitat, e.g. extreme hot temperature saline condition, variable pH, etc. Saline bacteria are called Halophiles (e.g, Halobacterium, Halococcus). Concept Enhancer Tho ability of archaebacteria to survive in such conditions is due to the presence of branched lipid chain in their membrane, which reduces the fluidity of their membrane. |

The water potential of pure water isA. zeroB. less than zeroC. more than zero, but less than oneD. more than one |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - A The value of water potential of pure water is highest and it is zero. Water molecules possess kinetic energy. Greater the concentration of water in a system, greater to its kinetic energy or its water potential. If we add solute in water, the solution has fewer free water molecule and concentration of water decreases thus reducing its water potential. |

Anaphase promoting complex (APC) is a protein degradation machinery necessary for proper mitosis of animal cells. If APC is defective in a human cell, which of the following is expected to occurA. Chromosomes will not condenseB. Chromosomes wiil be fragmentedC. Chromosomes will not segregateD. Recombination of chromosome arms will occur |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - C If anaphase promoting complex is defective in a human cell, the chromosomes will not segregate during anaphase of mitosis. APC triggers the transition from metaphase to anaphase by tagging specific proteins for degradation. Concept Enhancer Anaphase stage of meiosis is characterised by two events (a) Splitting of centromeres and segregation of chromosormes. (b) Movement of chromatids towards the opposite poles. |

Why do we say that velocity and acceleration of a body executingS.H.M. are out of phase? |
|
Answer» since if velocity changes acceleration will also.. change.And velocity changes with respect to displacement. For a body executing simple harmonic motion velocity is maximum at mean position while acceleration is zero. At extreme position velocity is zero and acceleration is maximum. Hence, when velocity is maximum, acceleration is minimum and vice versa. So we say that velocity and acceleration of body executing simple harmonic motion are out of phase.
