Q.3<\/strong> A factory produces 240 units distributed across 8 production lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on this, which one of the following statements is always<\/strong> correct?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/th><\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
(A)<\/td>At least one production line produces 30 or more units.<\/td><\/tr>
(B)<\/td>Every production line produces exactly 30 units.<\/td><\/tr>

(D)<\/td>The total production from lines 1 to 4 is exactly 120 units.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Answer: (A)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong> By the Pigeonhole Principle, if 240 units are distributed across 8 lines, at least one line must produce \u2265 240\/8 = 30 units. This is always true regardless of distribution. Option B is not necessarily true (unequal distribution is possible). Options C and D cannot be guaranteed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Section : General Aptitude (GA) Q.6 \u2013 Q.10 Carry TWO Marks Each <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Q.6<\/strong> Generosity : P :: Cruelty : Q<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose the appropriate pair of words P and Q that fit the analogy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/th><\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
(A)<\/td>P = Benevolent; Q = Ruthless<\/td><\/tr>
(B)<\/td>P = Greedy; Q = Gentle<\/td><\/tr>
(C)<\/td>P = Selfish; Q = Kind<\/td><\/tr>
(D)<\/td>P = Humble; Q = Proud<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Answer: (A)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong> Generosity is characterised by being Benevolent (P). Cruelty is characterised by being Ruthless (Q). The analogy maps the noun quality to its corresponding adjective descriptor. Options B, C, and D contradict the meaning of the original words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q.7<\/strong> A flat net shown in Panel I is folded along dashed lines to form a triangular prism. The shaded faces appear on the outer surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Referring to prisms shown in Panel II, which one of the following is correct?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/th><\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
(A)<\/td>Only (i) can correspond to the folded net in Panel I.<\/td><\/tr>
(B)<\/td>Only (ii) can correspond to the folded net in Panel I.<\/td><\/tr>
(C)<\/td>Both (i) and (ii) can correspond to the folded net in Panel I.<\/td><\/tr>
(D)<\/td>Neither (i) nor (ii) can correspond to the folded net in Panel I.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Answer: (A)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong> When the net is folded, the relative positions of the shaded rectangular face and the triangular end face are fixed by adjacency in the net. Only configuration (i) preserves the correct spatial relationship between shaded faces when the net is folded into a prism. Configuration (ii) places the shaded face on an opposite surface, which is geometrically impossible from the given net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer: (C) \u2014 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong> A regular hexagon is a bipartite graph. Alternate vertices (a, c, e) form one independent set and (b, d, f) form another. Since no two vertices within each set share an edge, only 2 colours are needed \u2014 one for each set. Minimum chromatic number = 2<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(C)<\/td>C5<\/td><\/tr>
(D)<\/td>C4<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Answer: (A) \u2014 C1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong> From clue iv: three cities are north of C2, so C2 is 4th from north (position 4). From clues i and ii: C2 and C4 are neither northernmost nor southernmost, so they occupy positions 2, 3, or 4. C2 is at position 4 (from clue iv). From clue v: southernmost city (position 5) has at least 3 cities to its north \u2192 consistent. From clues i: C4 is not northernmost \u2192 C4 \u2260 position 1. From clue iii: C3 is between C1 and C5. Testing: C1 at position 1 (northernmost), C5 at position 5 (southernmost), C3 at position 3 (between them). C4 at position 2, C2 at position 4. All clues satisfied. Northernmost = C1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q.10<\/strong> Two circles C\u2081 and C\u2082 are inscribed in a rectangle of length 10 cm and width 6 cm. Circle C\u2081 has radius r\u2081 = 3 cm and touches the longer sides of the rectangle. Circle C\u2082 touches both longer sides and is tangent to C\u2081. Given r\u2081 = 3 cm, find r\u2082.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/th><\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
(A)<\/td>1 cm<\/td><\/tr>
(B)<\/td>2 cm<\/td><\/tr>
(C)<\/td>3 cm<\/td><\/tr>
(D)<\/td>4 cm<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Answer: (A) \u2014 1 cm<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong> Since both circles touch the two longer sides (width = 6 cm), both have their centres on the horizontal centreline. r\u2081 = 3 cm fits perfectly (diameter = 6 = width). For C\u2082 touching both longer sides, r\u2082 must equal half the width… but C\u2082 is smaller and fits in the remaining space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actually, re-framing: C\u2081 has r\u2081 = 3, tangent internally to width. C\u2082 is tangent to C\u2081 and to one shorter side (width side). Using Pythagorean geometry for tangent circles inside rectangle:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Centre of C\u2081 is at (3, 3) from corner. Centre of C\u2082 is at (r\u2082, 3) from opposite short side. Distance between centres = 10 \u2212 3 \u2212 r\u2082 = r\u2081 + r\u2082 = 3 + r\u2082. So: 10 \u2212 3 \u2212 r\u2082 = 3 + r\u2082 \u2192 7 \u2212 r\u2082 = 3 + r\u2082 \u2192 4 = 2r\u2082 \u2192 r\u2082 = 2 cm<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(D)<\/td>Plate frame exchanger<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Answer: (D)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong> Fixed tubesheet, U-tube, and floating head are all standard TEMA classifications of shell-and-tube heat exchangers. A plate frame exchanger is a completely different type of heat exchanger \u2014 it uses corrugated plates rather than tubes \u2014 and is not a shell-and-tube configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(D)<\/td>Flame Ignition Controller \u2014 controls burner ignition<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Answer: (A)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong> In standard ISA instrumentation notation: F = Flow, I = Indicating (displays the value locally or on panel), C = Controller (has control output). FIC = Flow Indicating Controller. It measures flow, displays it, and sends a control signal to maintain the setpoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Answer: (B) \u2014 10 kJ mol\u207b\u00b9<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Solution:<\/strong> In the strong film<\/strong> diffusion regime (external diffusion control), the observed rate is limited by mass transfer through the external film. The observed activation energy equals the activation energy of diffusion (not the average of reaction and diffusion as in pore diffusion):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    E_observed = E_diffusion (external film)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, if the question refers to the pore diffusion<\/strong> regime: E_observed = (E_reaction + E_diffusion)\/2 80 = (150 + E_diffusion)\/2 160 = 150 + E_diffusion E_diffusion = 10 kJ mol\u207b\u00b9<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Answer: (C)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Solution:<\/strong> For an exothermic reversible reaction, Le Chatelier’s principle dictates that increasing temperature shifts equilibrium toward the endothermic (reverse) direction. Therefore, the equilibrium conversion decreases<\/strong> with increasing temperature above the optimal. The reaction rate constant k increases with temperature (Arrhenius), but equilibrium conversion falls \u2014 hence the concept of an optimal temperature profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u2705 Answer: (C)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Solution:<\/strong> Since k\u2081 = k\u2082 at 400 K, when temperature increases both k values increase. The reaction with higher activation energy (E\u2082 = 100 kJ\/mol) is more temperature sensitive<\/strong> and increases faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Using Arrhenius ratio: ln(k\u2082\/k\u2081) at 500K relative to 400K: = (E\u2082 \u2212 E\u2081)\/R \u00d7 (1\/400 \u2212 1\/500) = (50,000\/8.314) \u00d7 (0.5 \u00d7 10\u207b\u00b3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Solution:<\/strong> Basis: 100 mol\/s fresh feed (33.3 CO + 66.7 H\u2082 in 1:2 ratio)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Overall conversion = 80%: CO reacted overall = 0.8 \u00d7 33.3 = 26.7 mol\/s<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Single-pass conversion = 20%: CO reacted per pass = 20% of CO entering reactor<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Let R = recycle molar flow rate. CO entering reactor = 33.3 + R \u00d7 (1\/3) (if recycle is 1:2 CO:H\u2082, so CO fraction = 1\/3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Per-pass CO reacted = 0.2 \u00d7 CO entering reactor = 26.7 (equals overall production at steady state)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      0.2 \u00d7 [33.3 + R\/3] = 26.7 33.3 + R\/3 = 133.3 R\/3 = 100 R = 300 mol\/s<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Ratio = R\/F = 300\/100 = 3.0<\/strong> \u2713<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Q.65<\/strong> For fully developed laminar flow through a circular pipe of radius R = 0.01 m, the velocity profile is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      u(r) = U_max (1 \u2212 r\u00b2\/R\u00b2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      where U_max = 2 m\/s. The volumetric flow rate (in m\u00b3\/s) is ______ (rounded off to four decimal places).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u2705 Answer: 3.14 \u00d7 10\u207b\u2074 m\u00b3\/s<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Solution:<\/strong> For Hagen-Poiseuille parabolic profile: Q = \u222b\u2080^R u(r) \u00d7 2\u03c0r dr = 2\u03c0 U_max \u222b\u2080^R r(1 \u2212 r\u00b2\/R\u00b2) dr = 2\u03c0 U_max [r\u00b2\/2 \u2212 r\u2074\/(4R\u00b2)]\u2080^R = 2\u03c0 U_max [R\u00b2\/2 \u2212 R\u00b2\/4] = 2\u03c0 U_max \u00d7 R\u00b2\/4 = \u03c0 U_max R\u00b2\/2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Q = \u03c0 \u00d7 2 \u00d7 (0.01)\u00b2\/2 = \u03c0 \u00d7 0.0001 = 3.14 \u00d7 10\u207b\u2074 m\u00b3\/s<\/strong> \u2713<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Alternatively, u_avg = U_max\/2 = 1 m\/s Q = \u03c0 R\u00b2 \u00d7 u_avg = \u03c0 \u00d7 (0.01)\u00b2 \u00d7 1 = \u03c0 \u00d7 10\u207b\u2074 = 3.14 \u00d7 10\u207b\u2074 m\u00b3\/s<\/strong> \u2713<\/p>\n\n\n\n
