2.

a) What is thermite reaction ?b) Q is an element which is one in copper, zinc, aluminium and iron, its properties are as follows.i) Q2 Q3 is found in nature but not affected by water.ii) Two chlorides with formula QCl2 and QCl3 are formed by the metal. Identify the metal

Answer»

a) The displacement reaction which is. highly exothermic and the metal produced is in molten state is called thermite reaction.
i) Since the oxide of the metal is Q2Q3 its valence is 3. therefore out of the mentioned metal only aluminium and iron can be the metal with properties mentioned above.
ii) QCl2 and QCl2 must be iron as it shows variable valency of two and three. FeCl2 and FeCl3 are the chlorides.

If `a = log_245 175` and `b = log_1715 875`, then the value of `(1-ab)/(a-b)` is

Answer» `175=5xx5xx7`
`245=5xx7xx7`
`875=5xx5xx5xx7`
`1715=5xx7xx7xx7`
`a(log_(5)175)/(log_(5)245)=(2+log_(5)7)/(1+2log_(5)7)`
`b=(log_(5)875)/(log_(5)1715)=(3+log_(5)7)/(1+3log_(5)7)`
Let ` log_(5)y=t`
`(1-ab)/(a-b)=(1-((2+t)/(1+2t))((3+t)/(a+3t)))/(((2+t)/(1+2t))-((3+t)/1+3t))`
`=(5t^(2)-5)/(t^(2)-1)=5`

You are about to study the fundamentals of C++ programming Language. Do a comparative study of the basics of the new language with that of a formal language like English or Malayalam to familiarize C++? Provide sufficient explanations for the compared items in C++ Language.

Answer»

1. Character set: 

To study a language first we have to familiarize the character set. For example, to study English language first we have to study the alphabets. Similarly here the character set includes letters(A to Z & a to z), digits(0 to 9), special characters(+, -, ?, *, /, …..) white spaces(non printable), etc.

2. Token: It is the smallest individual units similar to a word in English or Malayalam language. C++ has 5 tokens 

  • Keywords: These are reserved words for the compiler. We can’t use for any other purposes. 

Eg: float is used to declare variable to store numbers with decimal point. We can’t use this for any other purpose

  • Identifier: These are user defined words. 

Eg: variable name, function name, class name, object name, etc… 

  • Literals (Constants): Its value does not change during execution 

eg: In maths % = 3.14157 and boiling point of water is 100. 

  • Punctuators: In English or Malayalam language punctuation mark are used to increase the readability but here it is used to separate the tokens. 

eg:{,}, (,), …….. 

  • Operators: These are symbols used to perform an operation(Arithmetic, relational, logical, etc…).

What is responsive website?

Answer»

A typical website is comprised of a set of files (each web page—home page, about page, etc.—is an individual file). Each file contains HTML code and content (text and images). Web pages are styled with files called Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). For ease of explanation, let’s say that a standard (non-responsive) website has a set of files and a few CSS files that govern the look of the site. A responsive website applies an alternate set of CSS files depending on the device being used to access the site. The site looks and ‘responds’ differently based on the device. 

For example, while someone viewing the site from a desktop device sees a horizontally aligned navigation menu, someone viewing the site from a mobile device gets a vertically aligned navigation menu with larger text that is easier to read on a smaller screen.

Who wrote 'Origin of Species'?1. Einstein2. Gibbs3. Newton4. Charles Darwin

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : Charles Darwin

Origin of Species by Natural Selection:

  • It was written by Charles Darwin.
  • It was a groundbreaking scientific work by British naturalist Charles Darwin.
  • It was originally published in 1859.
  • Darwin, through his theory, argued, that organisms gradually evolve through a process he called “natural selection.”
  • In natural selection, organisms with genetic variations that are better suited to their environment have an advantage over the organisms of the same species that lack the variation.
  • And thus, the better-suited organism or specie, are in turn more likely to survive and more likely to give their features to future generations than the other.
  • And such, the cycle of natural selection of the specie is carried out during the course of evolution.

Charles Darwin:

  • Charles Darwin was born in 1809 in Shrewsbury, England.
  • Darwin proposed a theory of evolution called natural selection in the year 1859.
  • According to it those populations which are a better fit (reproductively fit) in an environment will be selected by nature and will survive more.
  • Darwin's theory of natural selection is popularly known as 'Darwinism'.
  • English naturalist Charles Darwin developed the idea of natural selection after a five-year voyage to study plants, animals, and fossils in South America and on islands in the Pacific.
  • Darwin conducted a sea voyage in a sailing ship called H.M.S Beagle as a part of his experiments on the theory of evolution.
  • Charles Darwin became almost universally thought of as the "Father of Evolution".
  • Darwin's process of natural selection has four components:
    • Variation 
    • Inheritance
    • High rate of population growth
    • Differential survival and reproduction
  • Charles Darwin died in 1882 at the age of seventy-three.

Thus, Charles Darwin wrote 'Origin of Species'.
