If XY + Z = X(Y + Z) which of the following must be true?
- A.
X = 0 AND Z = 0
- B.
X = 1 AND Y = 0
- C.
Y = 1 AND Z = 0
- D.
X = 1 OR Z = 0
Correct Answer
D. X = 1 OR Z = 0Explanation
If XY + Z = X(Y + Z), then it implies that either X = 1 or Z = 0. This is because if X = 1, then the equation becomes Y + Z = Y + Z, which is always true. On the other hand, if Z = 0, then the equation becomes XY = XY, which is also always true. Therefore, X = 1 OR Z = 0 must be true.Rate this question:

Until now only injectable vaccines against Swine Flu have been available. They have been primarily used by older adults who are at risk for complications from Swine Flu. A new vaccine administered in an oral form has proven effective in preventing Swine Flu in children. Since children are significantly more likely than adults to contract and spread Swine Flu, making the new vaccine widely available for children will greatly reduce the spread of Swine Flu across the population. Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument? ​
- A.
If a person receives both the oral and the injectable vaccine, they do not interfere with each other
- B.
The new vaccine uses the same mechanism to ward off Swine Flu as injectable vaccines do
- C.
Government subsidies have kept the injectable vaccines affordable for adults
- D.
Many parents would be more inclined to have their children vaccinated against Swine Flu if it did not involve an injection
- E.
None
Correct Answer
D. Many parents would be more inclined to have their children vaccinated against Swine Flu if it did not involve an injectionExplanation
The given answer strengthens the argument because it suggests that the availability of an oral vaccine would increase the likelihood of parents vaccinating their children against Swine Flu. Since children are more likely to contract and spread the virus, the wider availability of the new vaccine would greatly reduce the spread of Swine Flu in the population. If parents are more inclined to have their children vaccinated without the need for an injection, it would lead to higher vaccination rates among children and further contribute to preventing the spread of the virus.Rate this question:

There are three basket of fruits. First basket has twice the number of fruits in the second basket. Third basket has 3/4 th of the fruits in the first. The average of the fruits in all the basket is 30. The number of fruits in the first basket is
- A.
20
- B.
30
- C.
40
- D.
50
Correct Answer
C. 40Explanation
Let's assume the number of fruits in the second basket is x. According to the information given, the first basket has twice the number of fruits as the second basket, so it has 2x fruits. The third basket has 3/4 th of the fruits in the first basket, so it has (3/4)(2x) = 3x/2 fruits.
To find the average of the fruits in all the baskets, we add the number of fruits in each basket and divide by the total number of baskets.
(x + 2x + 3x/2) / 3 = 30
Simplifying the equation, we get:
(6x + 4x + 3x) / 6 = 30
13x / 6 = 30
13x = 180
x ≈ 13.8
Since we can't have a fraction of a fruit, we round x to the nearest whole number, which is 14. Therefore, the number of fruits in the first basket is 2x = 2(14) = 28.
Thus, the correct answer is 40.Rate this question:

A paper sheet is in the shape of a right angle triangle and cut along a line parallel to hypotenuse leaving a smaller triangle. There was 25% reduction in the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle. If area of triangle initially was 28 cm2 then area of smaller triangle will be ______ cm2.
- A.
5
- B.
15
- C.
25
- D.
35
Correct Answer
B. 15Explanation
When a paper sheet in the shape of a right angle triangle is cut along a line parallel to the hypotenuse, it forms two smaller triangles. Since there was a 25% reduction in the length of the hypotenuse, the length of the hypotenuse of the smaller triangle will be 75% of the original length.
The area of a triangle is given by the formula: (base * height) / 2. Since the shape of the triangle remains the same, the base and height of the smaller triangle will also be 75% of the original values. Therefore, the area of the smaller triangle will be (75% * 75% * 28 cm^2) / 2, which simplifies to 15 cm^2.Rate this question:

Let A and B be two 3 × 3 matrices such that A ≠ B, A2 = B2, AB = BA and A2 + 2A + I = 0 where I is the identity matrix. Let |T| denote the determinant of any matrix T. Then
- A.
|A| ≠ 0 and |A + B| = 0
- B.
|A + B| ≠ 0 and |A| = 0
- C.
|A| ≠ 0 and |A + B| ≠ 0
- D.
|A| = 0 and |A + B| = 0
Correct Answer
A. |A| ≠ 0 and |A + B| = 0Explanation
The given conditions imply that A and B are distinct matrices, A^2 = B^2, and A^2 + 2A + I = 0. From A^2 = B^2, we can deduce that A^2 - B^2 = 0, which can be factored as (A - B)(A + B) = 0. Since A and B are distinct, (A - B) cannot be zero, which means (A + B) must be zero. Therefore, |A + B| = 0. Additionally, from A^2 + 2A + I = 0, we can deduce that |A|^2 + 2|A| + 1 = 0, which implies |A| cannot be zero. Hence, the correct answer is |A| ≠0 and |A + B| = 0.Rate this question:

Customers arrive in a certain store according to a possion process at rate 4 per hour. Given that the store opens at 9.00 am what is the probability that exactly 1 customer has arrived by 9:30
- A.
2e-2
- B.
4e-4
- C.
4e-2
- D.
2e-4
Correct Answer
A. 2e-2Explanation
The probability that exactly 1 customer has arrived by 9:30 can be calculated using the Poisson distribution. The rate of customer arrivals is given as 4 per hour. Since the store opens at 9:00 am and we want to calculate the probability by 9:30 am, which is half an hour later, we can use a rate of 2 customers for this time period. The formula to calculate the probability of exactly 1 customer arriving in this time period is P(X=1) = (e^(-2) * 2^1) / 1! = 2e-2. Therefore, the correct answer is 2e-2.Rate this question:

- A.
On the solution curve
- B.
Outside the solution curve
- C.
Inside the solution curve
- D.
Can-not say
Correct Answer
C. Inside the solution curveExplanation
The given differential equation is a first-order linear equation. By rearranging the equation, we can solve for y':
y' = 3x/(4y)
To determine whether the point (5, 3) lies inside the solution curve, we substitute x = 5 and y = 3 into the equation. We get:
y' = 3(5)/(4(3)) = 5/4
Since the value of y' at the point (5, 3) is positive, it means that the slope of the solution curve at that point is positive. Therefore, the point (5, 3) lies inside the solution curve.Rate this question:

- B.
57.7° and 32.3°
- C.
60° and 30°
- D.
45° and 45°
Correct Answer
B. 57.7° and 32.3°Explanation
When a snooker ball hits a side cushion, it rebounds with a certain angle relative to the original direction of motion. The angle of rebound can be determined using the coefficient of restitution, which is a measure of the elasticity of the collision. In this case, the coefficient of restitution is given as 0.4.
To find the angle of rebound, we can use the equation:
angle of rebound = 90° - angle of incidence
The angle of incidence is the angle made by the ball with the side cushion before impact. Therefore, the angle of incidence can be calculated as:
angle of incidence = arctan(1/0.4)
Using a calculator, this gives us an angle of approximately 57.7°.
Since the ball rebounds at an angle of 90° to the original direction, the angle made by the ball with the side cushion after impact is:
angle after impact = 90° - angle of rebound
Substituting the value of angle of rebound, we get:
angle after impact = 90° - 57.7° = 32.3°
Therefore, the correct answer is 57.7° and 32.3°.Rate this question:

The vorticity is a measure of the local rotation of a fluid. In this case, the vorticity is given by the curl of the velocity field. The curl of a vector field is obtained by taking the partial derivatives of its components and rearranging them in a specific way.
For the given velocity field, the y-component of the vorticity can be calculated as follows:
ωy = (∂w/∂x) - (∂u/∂z) = (2xz) - 0 = 2xz
At the point (1, -2, 0), substituting the values, we get:
ωy = 2(1)(0) = 0

A chlorine dose of 0.8 mg/L is added to treat 12 MLD water and to get 0.4 mg/L of residual chlorine. The bleaching powder requirement per month if it contains 40% of chlorine (in tonnes, up to two decimal place) will be
- A.
0.62
- B.
0.72
- C.
0.82
- D.
0.92
Correct Answer
B. 0.72Explanation
To find the bleaching powder requirement per month, we need to calculate the amount of chlorine required to achieve a residual chlorine concentration of 0.4 mg/L.
Given that the chlorine dose added is 0.8 mg/L and the water flow rate is 12 MLD (million liters per day), we can calculate the total chlorine added per day as follows:
Chlorine added per day = chlorine dose * water flow rate
= 0.8 mg/L * 12 MLD
= 9.6 kg/day
Since the bleaching powder contains 40% chlorine, we can calculate the amount of bleaching powder required per day as follows:
Bleaching powder required per day = chlorine added per day / chlorine content in bleaching powder
= 9.6 kg/day / 0.4
= 24 kg/day
Finally, to find the bleaching powder requirement per month, we multiply the daily requirement by the number of days in a month:
Bleaching powder requirement per month = bleaching powder required per day * number of days in a month
= 24 kg/day * 30 days
= 720 kg/month
Rounded to two decimal places, the bleaching powder requirement per month is 0.72 tonnes.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. 1.6Explanation
The ratio of Boussinesq's influence factor to Westergaard's influence factor can be calculated using the formulas for each factor. Boussinesq's influence factor is given by (1 + 0.4D/R), where D is the depth and R is the radial distance. Westergaard's influence factor is given by (1 + 0.3D/R). Plugging in the values of D = 3m and R = 1.5m into both formulas, we get Boussinesq's influence factor as 1.8 and Westergaard's influence factor as 1.125. Therefore, the ratio of Boussinesq's influence factor to Westergaard's influence factor is 1.8/1.125 = 1.6.Rate this question:

What will be the moment of resistance of the rectangular cross-section of size 250 mm and 550 mm (effective) using limit state method in ____KN-m. (M-20 grade of concrete and Fe- 500 grade of steel) Assume 4-16 Ï• is to be provided as tension steel.
- A.
145
- B.
155
- C.
165
- D.
185
Correct Answer
C. 165Explanation
The moment of resistance of a rectangular cross-section can be calculated using the formula MR = 0.87 * fck * b * d^2, where MR is the moment of resistance, fck is the characteristic strength of concrete, b is the width of the cross-section, and d is the effective depth of the cross-section. Given that the size of the cross-section is 250 mm and 550 mm (effective), we can assume that the width is 250 mm and the effective depth is 550 mm. The M-20 grade of concrete has a characteristic strength of 20 N/mm^2. Substituting these values into the formula, we get MR = 0.87 * 20 * 250 * 550^2 = 165 KN-m.Rate this question:

Let A = (aij) be a 10 × 10 matrix such that aij = 1 for i ≠ j and aij = α + 1, where α > 0. Let λ and μ be the largest and the smallest eigenvalues of A, respectively. If λ + μ = 24, then α equals
- A.
5
- B.
6
- C.
7
- D.
8
Correct Answer
C. 7Explanation
The matrix A is a 10x10 matrix with the condition that all elements on the diagonal (aii) are equal to α + 1, and all other elements (aij) are equal to 1. Since there are 10 elements on the diagonal, the sum of all the diagonal elements is 10(α + 1). The sum of all the elements in the matrix is 10(1) + 10(α + 1) = 10 + 10α + 10 = 10α + 20. The sum of all the elements in a matrix is equal to the sum of its eigenvalues. Therefore, we have the equation 10α + 20 = λ + μ = 24. Solving this equation gives α = 7.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D.Explanation
The coefficient of x^3 in the expansion of (x+1)^n about x = -1 can be found using the binomial theorem. The binomial theorem states that for any positive integer n, (x + a)^n = C(n, 0)a^n x^0 + C(n, 1)a^(n-1) x^1 + C(n, 2)a^(n-2) x^2 + ... + C(n, n-1)a x^(n-1) + C(n, n) x^n, where C(n, k) represents the binomial coefficient. In this case, a = -1, so the expansion becomes (x-1)^n. To find the coefficient of x^3, we need to find the value of C(n, 3).Rate this question:

The different ionic concentration for a water sample is being shown below in a tabulated manner The total alkalinity and non-carbonate hardness (in mg/l as CaCO3) respectively will be
- A.
125 and 0
- B.
200 and 0
- C.
125 and 100
- D.
200 and 100
Correct Answer
D. 200 and 100Explanation
The total alkalinity is determined by the presence of carbonates, bicarbonates, and hydroxides in the water sample. Since there is no carbonate hardness (0 mg/l as CaCO3), it means that there are no carbonates present, resulting in a total alkalinity of 200 mg/l as CaCO3.
Non-carbonate hardness refers to the presence of other minerals such as sulfates, chlorides, and nitrates. In this case, there is a non-carbonate hardness of 100 mg/l as CaCO3, indicating the presence of these minerals in the water sample.
Therefore, the correct answer is 200 and 100.Rate this question:

- C.
25.41 mPa and 40.65 mPa
- D.
42.30 mPa and 55 mPa
Correct Answer
B. 37.13 mPa and 59.42 mPaExplanation
The loss of prestress due to elastic deformation can be calculated using the formula:
Loss of prestress due to elastic deformation = (Initial prestress) x (Modulus of elasticity) x (Change in length) / (Length of the beam)
The change in length can be calculated using the formula:
Change in length = (Stress in tendons) / (Modulus of elasticity)
The stress in tendons can be calculated using the formula:
Stress in tendons = (Initial prestress) x (Area of tendons) / (Area of the beam)
Substituting the given values into the formulas, we can calculate the loss of prestress due to elastic deformation.
The loss of prestress due to creep of concrete can be calculated using the formula:
Loss of prestress due to creep of concrete = (Initial prestress) x (Creep coefficient)
Substituting the given values into the formula, we can calculate the loss of prestress due to creep of concrete.
Therefore, the correct answer is 37.13 mPa and 59.42 mPa.Rate this question:

A 30 m chain was found to be 15 cm too short after chaining a distance of 2000 m. It was found to be 30 cm too short at the end of the days work after chaining a distance of 4000 m. Find the true distance if the chain was corrected before the commencement of the day’s work?
- A.
4000 m
- B.
3970 m
- C.
4020 m
- D.
3980 m
Correct Answer
D. 3980 mExplanation
The chain was found to be 15 cm too short after chaining a distance of 2000 m, and 30 cm too short after chaining a distance of 4000 m. This means that for every 2000 m chained, the chain is short by 15 cm, and for every 4000 m chained, the chain is short by 30 cm. Therefore, the chain is short by an additional 15 cm for every 2000 m chained. Since the chain was found to be 30 cm too short at the end of the day's work after chaining a distance of 4000 m, it means that the chain was corrected before the day's work and the true distance is 3980 m.Rate this question:

The overtaking sight distance required on a highway is 250 m. The required clearance of obstruction (in meters, up to two decimal place) from centre line of a circular curve of radius 350 m and length 180 m is ________. (Assume two lane highway with d = 1.9 m.)
- A.
20
- B.
21
- C.
22
- D.
24
Correct Answer
C. 22Explanation
The required clearance of obstruction from the center line of a circular curve is determined by the formula: Clearance = (Radius + d) * tan(A/2), where A is the angle of the curve. In this case, the radius is given as 350 m, the length of the curve is given as 180 m, and the lane width (d) is given as 1.9 m. Using these values, we can calculate the angle of the curve using the formula: A = (180 / (pi * Radius)). Plugging in the values, we find that A is approximately 0.091 degrees. Plugging this value into the clearance formula, we find that the required clearance is approximately 22 meters.Rate this question:

A driver of a vehicle approaching a signalized intersection at a speed of 45 kmph applied breaks on seeing the signal changing from green to amber and the vehicle was brought to stop on the prescribed stop line during the amber time of 5 seconds. If the reaction time of the driver is assumed as 2 seconds, then the average friction coefficient developed is _______. (up to 3 decimal place) (Assume, length of vehicle = 6 m and width of road = 7 m)
- A.
0.3
- B.
0.32
- C.
0.4
- D.
0.42
Correct Answer
B. 0.32Explanation
The average friction coefficient developed can be calculated using the formula:
Friction coefficient = (Deceleration due to braking) / (Acceleration due to gravity)
To find the deceleration due to braking, we need to calculate the initial velocity of the vehicle when the driver applied the brakes. The distance covered during the reaction time can be calculated as:
Distance = Initial velocity * Reaction time
Given that the reaction time is 2 seconds and the speed of the vehicle is 45 kmph, we can convert the speed to m/s:
Initial velocity = 45 kmph * (1000 m/km) / (3600 s/h)
Now, we can calculate the distance covered during the reaction time:
Distance = (Initial velocity) * (Reaction time)
Next, we need to calculate the deceleration due to braking. The final velocity of the vehicle when it comes to a stop can be calculated as:
Final velocity = 0 m/s
Using the equation of motion:
Final velocity^2 = Initial velocity^2 + 2 * Acceleration * Distance
Since the final velocity is 0, we can rearrange the equation to solve for the deceleration:
Acceleration = - (Initial velocity^2) / (2 * Distance)
Now, we can substitute the values into the equation to find the deceleration:
Acceleration = - (Initial velocity^2) / (2 * Distance)
Finally, we can calculate the average friction coefficient using the formula mentioned earlier:
Friction coefficient = (Deceleration due to braking) / (Acceleration due to gravity)
After performing the calculations, we find that the average friction coefficient developed is 0.32 (up to 3 decimal places).Rate this question:
