If the operating cost of 6 burners for 6 hours in 8 days is Rs. 450 then find the number of burners if used for 5 hours for 10 day with operating cost of Rs.1250.1. 162. 143. 124. 10 |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 16 Given: 6 burners are used for 6 hours for 8 days with an operating cost 450 Rs. Concept used: \(\frac{{{M_1}{D_1}{H_1}}}{{{W_1}}} = \frac{{{M_2}{D_2}{H_2}}}{{{W_2}}}\) Where M1 denotes the number of burners here. D1 denotes the number of Days and H1 the number of hours. W1 denotes the work in terms of rupees. Calculation: We have, \(\frac{{6 \times 6 \times 8}}{{450}} = \frac{{x \times 5 \times 10}}{{1250}}\) ⇒ x = 16 ∴ The number of burners = 16. |

|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 6 : 9 : 12 : 20 Given: A : B = 2 : 3 B : C = 3 : 4 C : D = 3 : 5 Concept used: A : B1 and B2 : C then A : B : C = A × B1 : B1 × B2 : B2 × C Calculation: ⇒ A : B = 2 : 3 ⇒ B : C = 3 : 4 ⇒ A : B : C = 2 × 3 : 3 × 3 : 3 × 4 ⇒ A : B : C = 2 : 3 : 4 A : B : C = 2 : 3 : 4 and C : D = 3 : 5 ⇒ A : B : C : D = 2 × 3 : 3 × 3 : 3 × 4 : 4 × 5 ⇒ A : B : C : D = 6 : 9 : 12 : 20 ∴ The ratio of A : B : C : D is 6 : 9 : 12 : 20 |

Boeing is known for airplanes but they actually have a long history in space. |
|
Answer» Boeing is known for airplanes but they actually have a long history in space. Since NASA's beginning, Boeing has been a contractor on every manned space program, including building the parts for the International Space Station. Boeing has been in human space flight from day one and so it's just part of our core. NASA is hosting a competition for private enterprise to build a space craft; to transport humans to the International Space Station. Winning this contract would cement dominance in the new space race. We see this as a just the next huge opportunity for Boeing and for NASA. How big do you expect the market to be? The development price itself is such a huge barrier, just a very different business model than Boeing's used to. Our huge development programs are typically centered around commercial airplanes, military aircraft, where there is a lot of orders and right now the foundation of the business is two flights a year. And Boeing hopes that those flights will be made in their CST-100 capsule. Their weld list design makes their craft stronger and lighter than traditional models. I'm ready to get inside the space capsule. Alright, well come on in. How many astronauts will fly in this capsule? Right now we've configured it to fly up to five but the CST-200 designed for up to seven. We have a significant experience, obviously in capsules from Mergulating in Gemini Apollo. The capsule was an easy decision. What about comfort? This isn't exactly the most comfortable position I've ever been in. No, absolutely, but because of the potential with different anomalies, you could have a very rough landing. We needed to make sure that this design would satisfy even the roughest potential landing. Chris Ferguson piloted America's last shuttle and his new mission is to get Boeing's commercial space program off the ground. This is a simulator for the CST-200? Yes, this is going to be what we call our engineering simulator. How similar is commanding a space ship to piloting an airplane? Well if you sit here and you look at this cockpit, you say, "Wow, this looks like I'm in a fighter airplane." Boeing has been building fighter airplanes for decades so we were able to take a lot of expertise and actually involve a lot of the people who designed these cockpits and make them a part of this right here. Do you think that that lineage in history gives Boeing a leg up over their competitors? I would like to think so. Of course Boeing is a prime contractor to build to space ship. |

Read the given extract to attempt the questions that follow:I was still a thief when I met Anil. And though only 15, I was an experienced and fairly successful hand. Anil was watching a wrestling match when I approached him. He was about 25; a tall, lean fellow; and he looked easy-going, kind and simple enough for my purpose. I hadn't had much luck of late and thought I might be able to get into the young man's confidence. "You look a bit of a wrestler yourself," I said. A little flattery helps in making friends. "So do you," he replied, which put me off for a moment because at that time I was rather thin. "Well," I said modestly, "I do wrestle a bit." "What's your name?" "Hari Singh," I lied.
