Then the average speed of the car for the entire journey1. is less than v km/hr2. lies between v and 2v km/hr3. lies between 2v and 3v km/hr 4.  lies between 3v and 4v km/hr

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : lies between v and 2v km/hr

Given:

Trip one X to Y with the speed of v km/h

Trip one Y to X with the speed of 2v km/h

Trip one X to Y with the speed of 3v km/h

Trip one Y to X with the speed of 4v km/h

Formula used:

Average speed = Total distance covered/Total time taken

Speed = Distance/Time

Calculation:

Let the distance between X and Y is a km

Total distance covered = 4a

⇒ time = distance/speed

Time is taken on the first trip

⇒ time = a/v

Time is taken on the second trip

⇒ time = a/2v

Time is taken on the third trip

⇒ time = a/3v

Time is taken on the fourth trip

⇒ time = a/4v

Total time = (a/v) + (a/2v) + (a/3v) + (a/4v)

⇒ (12a + 6a + 4a + 3a)/12v = 25a/12v

Average speed = Total distance covered/Total time taken

⇒ 4a/(25a/12v) = 48v/25

⇒ Average speed = 1.92v km/h

∴ Average speed of the car lies between v km/h and 2v km/h.

Answer»

V = 2 cm/s

v = 0.02m/s

\(\eta\) = 4.8 x 10-4

Density of oil = 0.8gl cm3

Density of air = 18/cm3 J

For glucose, \(i = 1\)

∴ \(\pi _{Na_2SO_4} = 3 \times 0.2 \times 0.082 \times 300 \,atm\)

\(= 14.76 \, atm\)

\(\pi _{glucose} = 1 \times 0.5 \times 0.082 \times 300 \,atm\)

\(= 12.3 \, atm\)

Hence, difference in osmotic pressure = 14.76 - 12.3 = 2.46 atm.
