Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : India The correct answer is India. The Indian desert is also known as the Thar Desert or the Great Indian Desert. It is located partly in Rajasthan state, northwestern India, and partly in Punjab and Sindh (Sind) provinces, eastern Pakistan. The Thar Desert also called the Great Indian Desert covers more than 77,000 square miles (200,000 sq. km), forming a natural border between India and Pakistan. It is a large arid region with a landscape dominated by sand dunes varying in size from 52ft (16m) in the North to 498ft (152m) in the south. The Climate in the Thar desert is like any other desert, Hot in the day and cool at night. The summer days are really hot and the nights are cool but the winter days are warm and the nights are cold. In the summer there is little to no rain. The largest desert on earth is the Antarctic desert, covering the continent of Antarctica with a size of around 5.5 million square miles.

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 0 The correct answer is 0. Venus (and the planet Mercury) are the only two planets that don't have a single natural moon orbiting them. Venus is only a little smaller than the Earth. Venus is the second closest planet to the sun at a distance of about 108 million km (67 million miles) or 0.72 AU. One day on Venus lasts as long as 243 Earth days (the time it takes for Venus to rotate or spin once). Moons are also known as natural satellites that orbit planets and asteroids in our solar system.

8.	Regarding image quality in mammography: a. Compression reduces movement un sharpness but has no effect on geometrical un sharpness b. A magnified view increases un sharpness c. A linear moving grid is generally used in mammography to reject scatter in more than one direction d. The mammography unit is designed to overcome the anode heel effect e. A typical compression force is 100–150 N
Answer» a. False. Compression reduces both geometrical and movement unsharpness, as well as scatter. b. True. c. False. In mammography, moving grids are used for all normal contact images. The grids are generally linear, i.e. they reject scatter in one direction and move from side to side during the exposure, so that they are not seen on the images. Sometimes the exposure stops momentarily when the grid reaches one end of its path to prevent its image appearing on the film. If the exposure times are very short or if the grid speed is not set correctly, then grid lines can sometimes be seen on the image. d. False. The radiation across the X-ray beam is not uniform due to the anode heel effect. However, in mammography what we are imaging is not of uniform thickness. A breast is more like a cone in shape. If a uniform X-ray beam were applied to a breast, the resultant density of the film would vary across the breast, being highest where the breast is thinnest (nipple edge) and lowest where the breast is thickest (chest wall edge). We want a uniform film density. To help achieve this we make use of the anode heel effect. In general radiography, the highest intensity part of the X-ray beam is in the centre of the field. In mammography, we want the highest intensity part of the beam to coincide with the thickest part of the breast, i.e. the chest wall edge. To achieve this, the tube is angled and collimated. e. True. The compression paddle can be moved up and down by a powered motor. During an examination, the compression paddle will slowly be brought down on to the breast. This compresses the breast to make it thinner. The maximum force applied should be no greater than 200 N (equivalent to an approximately 20 kg weight). Standard compression forces are normally between 100 and 150 N.

49.	The input resistance of a common emitter transistor amplifer, if the output resistance is `500 K Omega`, the current gain `alpha = 0.98` and power gain is `6.0625 xx 10^(6)`, isA. `198 Omega`B. `300 Omega`C. `100 Omega`D. `400 Omega`
Answer» Correct Answer - A (a) Apply the concept, power gain is product of current gain and voltage gain and find the resistance Voltage gain `= A_(V) = beta (R_(2))/(R_(1))` Also, current gain `beta = (alpha)/(1 - alpha) = (0.98)/(1 - 0.98) = 49` `A_(V) = (49) [(500 xx 10^(3))/(R_(1))]` Power gain `= 6.0625 xx 10^(6) = 49 xx [(500 xx 10^(3))/(R_(1))] xx 49` `:.
