a. 0
b.
1
c. 2
d. 3
Attempt Correct Correct Ans. b bookmark
Solution:-

eventually attains saturated vapour state. The amount of heat added in the
mixture (in kJ) is ________
Solution:-
U1 = Uf + x (Ug – Uf); U1 = 467 + 0.7 (2520 – 467); U1 = 1904.1 KJ/Kg
U2 = Ug = 2520 KJ /Kg; v1 = vf + x (vg – vf); v1 = 0.001053 + 0.7 (1.1590- 0.001053)
V1 = 0.8116 m3/kg; v2 = vg =1.159 m3/kg
dQ = dU + dW ; dW = W raising piston + Wpaddle

Wraising piston = P (V2 – V1) (constant Pressure work) ; 150 ( 1.159 – 0.8116) = 52.1 KJ/kg
As mass = 1kg; Wraisingpiston = 1 x 52.1 = 52.1 KJ
dU = U2 – U1 = 1 (2520 – 1904.1) = 615.9 KJ
dQ = dU + dW; dQ = 615.9 +52.1 + (-50)
Negative sign is taken because paddle wheel work is done on the system
dQ = 618 KJ

First term of the series, a = 60 and the common difference, d = -4. Now, maximum sum will
be till the time we have positive numbers in the series. Hence, 0 = 60 + (n-1) (-4)
Thus, to obtain the maximum sum, we need to calculate the sum till the 16th term. Hence,
Q.64 Four different objects 1,2,3,4 are distributed at random in four places marked
1,2,3,4. What is the probability that none of the objects occupy the place
corresponding to its number?
a.
b.
c.
d.
Solution:-
Let a particular number, say 2, occupies, position 1
Then all possible arrangements are given as
Out of these, three are not acceptable to us

(2,1,3,4) ; (2,4,1,4) and ((2,4,3,1) are not acceptable because 3 and 4 occupy the correct
portions.
Required probability
Q.65 The ratio of male – to – female students in a college for five years is plotted in
the following line graph.
If the
number of female students in 2011 and 2012 is equal. What is the ratio of male
students in 2012 to male students in 2011?
a. 1 : 1
b. 2: 1
c.
1.5: 1
d. 2.5: 1
Solution:-
Take number of female students in 2011 = 100
Therefore, number of male students in 2011 = 100
Number of female students in 2012 = 100
Number of male students in 2012 = 150
Ratio
