12.	The first characteristic of Bharatiya culture is that it looks upon life as an integrated whole. It has an integrated viewpoint. To think of parts may be proper for a specialist, but it is not useful from the practical standpoint. The confusion in the West arises primarily from its tendency to think of life in sections and then to attempt to put them together by patch-work. We do admit that there is diversity and plurality in life, but we have always attempted to discover the unity behind them. This attempt is thoroughly scientific. The scientists always attempt to discover the unity behind them. This attempt is thoroughly scientific. The scientists always attempt to discover order in the apparent disorder in the universe, to find out the principles governing the universe and frame practical rules on the basis of these principles. Chemists discovered that a few elements comprise the entire physical world. Physicists went one step further and showed that even these elements pulsate with energy. Today we know that the entire universe is only a form of energy.Philosophers are also basically scientists. The western philosophers reached up to the principle of duality; Hegel put forward the principle of thesis, anti-thesis and synthesis.Karl Marx used this principle as a basis and presented his analysis of history and economics. Darwin considered the principle of survival of the fittest as the sole basis of life. But we, in this country, perceived the basic unity of all life. Even the dualists have believed nature and spirit to be complementary to each other than contradictory. The diversity in life is merely an expression of the internal unity. There is complementarity underlying the diversity. The unity in seed finds expression in various forms—the roots, the trunk, the branches, the leaves, the flowers and the fruits of the tree.

(like 4 mod 3 = (1 x 3 + 1) mod 3 = l_b and 7 mod 3 = (2 x 3 + 1) mod 3 = 1) Then B = {1_a, 2_a, 0_a, 1_b, 2_b, 0_b, 1_c, 2_c, 0_c, 1_d, 2_d, 0_d}. There are 4 zeroes, 4 ones and 4 twos.

In how many ways can three numbers be chosen from the set {1,2,3,...,12} such that their sum is divisible by3 ?

Answer»

Let A = {1, 2, 3, ......, 12}.

Let's define a new set B, where B[n] = A[n] mod 3

Then B = {1, 2, 0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2, 0}

For the sake of clarity, I'm going to lebel each number with a subscript letter.

(like 4 mod 3 = (1 x 3 + 1) mod 3 = l_b and 7 mod 3 = (2 x 3 + 1) mod 3 = 1)

Then B = {1_a, 2_a, 0_a, 1_b, 2_b, 0_b, 1_c, 2_c, 0_c, 1_d, 2_d, 0_d}.

There are 4 zeroes, 4 ones and 4 twos.

Case I : 0 + 0 + 0 = 0 (mod 3)

Total possibilities of that case are \(4_{c_3}\) = 4

Case II : 0 + 1 + 2 = 3 mod 3 = 0

Total possibilities of that case are \(4_{c_1}\times4_{c_1}\times4_{c_1}\) = 4 x 4 x 4 = 64

Case III : 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 mod 3 = 0

Total possibilities of that case are \(4_{c_3}\) = 4

Case IV : 2 + 2 + 2 = 6 mod 3 = 0

Total possibilities of that case are \(4_{c_3}\) = 4

Therefore, total ways to selecting 3 numbers from set {1, 2, 3 ..... 12} whose sum is divisible by 3 = 4 + 64 + 4 + 4 = 76

43.	What do you understand by voltage stabilization? How is it achieved?
Answer» Voltage stabilization is a method of stabilizing the voltage against voltage fluctuations. This is achieved using voltage stabilizer. It is an electrical appliance that feeds constant voltage to a load during over and under voltage conditions. This device detects these voltage conditions and correspondingly brings the voltage to desired range. Voltage stabilizers provide a means to regulate the supply voltage to the load. The voltage regulation is required for two distinct purposes; over voltage and under voltage conditions. The process of increasing voltage from under voltage condition is called as boost operation, whereas reducing the voltage from overvoltage condition is called as buck operations. These two main operations are essential in each and every voltage stabilizer.

47.	Explain Nelson’s Arm method of artificial respiration.
Answer» The purpose of artificial ventilation is to provide a method of air exchange until natural breathing is established. Artificial ventilation should be given only when natural breathing has stopped; BACK PRESSURE ARM LIFT.—This method is an alternate technique used when other methods are not possible. Place the victim on the stomach, face to one side, neck hypo-extended, with hands under the head. Quickly clear the mouth of any foreign matter. Kneel at the victim's head and place your hands on the victim's back so that the heels of the hands lie just below a line between the armpits, with thumbs touching and fingers extending downward and outward. Rock forward, keeping your arms straight, and exert pressure almost directly downward on the victim's back, forcing air out of the lungs. Then rock backward, releasing the pressure and grasping the arms just above the elbows. Continue to rock backward, pulling the arms upward and inward (toward the head) until resistance and tension in the victim's shoulders are noted. This expands the chest, causing active intake of air (inspiration). Rock forward and release the victim's arms. This causes passive exiting of air (expiration). Repeat the cycle of press, release, lift, and release 10 to 12 times a minute until the victim can breathe naturally.
