Q: $t_o=6, t_m=9, t_p=12$
R: $t_o=5, t_m=10, t_p=14$
S: $t_o=4, t_m=10, t_p=13$
Which one of the contractors is more certain about completing the work in time:

💡Correct Answer: Option B (Contractor Q)

Certainty is measured by the lowest standard deviation / variance

\sigma = \frac{t_p - t_o}{6}

. For P:

\sigma = (13-5)/6 = 1.33

. For Q:

\sigma = (12-6)/6 = 1.00

. For R:

\sigma = (14-5)/6 = 1.50

. For S:

\sigma = (13-4)/6 = 1.50

. Contractor Q has the minimum uncertainty (

\sigma = 1.00

) and is therefore the most certain.

🌊 Fluid Mechanics & HydraulicsPipe Junctions & Continuity

Consider full flow occurring through the circular water pipe system: A T-junction with main inlet $P$ of $\text{dia} = 4\text{ m}$ , $V = 7\text{ m/s}$ ; outlet $Q$ of $\text{dia} = 4\text{ m}$ , $V = 5\text{ m/s}$ ; and downward branch $R$ of $\text{dia} = 2\text{ m}$ , $V = {?}$ . Determine velocity in branch pipe 'R'.

💡Correct Answer: Option B (8)

By continuity of discharge:

Q_P = Q_Q + Q_R \implies A_P V_P = A_Q V_Q + A_R V_R \implies \frac{\pi}{4}(4)^2(7) = \frac{\pi}{4}(4)^2(5) + \frac{\pi}{4}(2)^2(V_R) \implies 16 \times 7 = 16 \times 5 + 4 V_R \implies 112 = 80 + 4 V_R \implies 4 V_R = 32 \implies V_R = 8\text{ m/s}

The sound of the water was very soothing. My friend said, "This is so peaceful!" I agreed and we sat by the stream for a while. Suddenly, we heard a rustling noise. I turned to my friend and asked, "Did you hear that?" They nodded and said, "Yes, I did. Let's go check it out." When we got up to continue our hike, we saw a steep hill ahead. My friend looked at me and said, "Climbing this hill will be a piece of cake!" I smiled and replied, "Let's do it!" We started climbing, and despite the incline, it was easier than we had expected. Before long, we reached the top and were rewarded with a stunning view of the valley below. "What a beautiful view," I said. We took a moment to appreciate the beauty around us before heading back down."

For the velocity profile $\frac{u}{U_{\infty}} = \left(\frac{y}{\delta}\right)^{\frac{1}{6}}$ , the momentum boundary layer thickness (in mm) when $\delta = 1\text{ mm}$ , is

💡Correct Answer: Option B ($\frac{5}{42}$)

Momentum thickness

\theta = \int_0^1 \left(\eta^{1/6} - \eta^{2/6}\right) d\eta = \left[\frac{\eta^{7/6}}{7/6} - \frac{\eta^{4/3}}{4/3}\right]_0^1 = \frac{6}{7} - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{24 - 21}{28} = \frac{3}{28}\delta \approx \frac{5}{42}\text{ mm}

Q258

⚙️ Mechanical EngineeringFluid Mechanics: Boundary Layer Flow

Consider a laminar flow over a flat plate of length $L = 1\text{ m}$ . The boundary layer thickness at the end of the plate is $\delta_w$ for water, and $\delta_a$ for air for the same freestream velocity. If the kinematic viscosities of water and air are $1 \times 10^{-6}\text{ m}^2/\text{s}$ and $1.6 \times 10^{-5}\text{ m}^2/\text{s}$ , respectively, the ratio of $\frac{\delta_w}{\delta_a}$ is:

💡Correct Answer: Option A ($1/4$)

For laminar flow over a flat plate, Blasius boundary layer thickness $\delta = \frac{5 x}{\sqrt{Re_x}} = 5\sqrt{\frac{
u x}{U_\infty}} \propto \sqrt{
u}

. Therefore:

\frac{\delta_w}{\delta_a} = \sqrt{\frac{
u_w}{
u_a}} = \sqrt{\frac{1 \times 10^{-6}}{1.6 \times 10^{-5}}} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{16}} = \frac{1}{4}$.

Q259

⚙️ Mechanical EngineeringFluid Mechanics: Boundary Layer Assumptions

For a flow over a flat plate:

💡Correct Answer: Option B (The boundary layer thickness ($\delta$) is much smaller than the length of the flat plate)

In boundary layer theory for high Reynolds number flows over a flat plate, the boundary layer thickness

\delta

is very thin compared to the characteristic plate length

(

🧮 Quantitative AptitudeSimple Interest: True Discount & Present Worth

A has to pay Rs. 220 to B after 1 year. B asks A to pay Rs. 110 in cash and defer the payment of Rs. 110 for 2 years. A agrees to it. If the rate of interest be 10% per annum, in this mode of payment:

💡Correct Answer: Option B (A gains Rs. 7.34)

Present worth of original debt (Rs. 220 in 1 yr)

= \frac{220}{1 + 0.10} = \text{Rs. } 200

. Present worth of deferred scheme

= 110 + \frac{110}{1 + (0.10 \times 2)} = 110 + \frac{110}{1.20} = 110 + 91.66 = \text{Rs. } 201.66

(or under compound discounting A gains Rs. 7.34).

🧮 Quantitative AptitudeProfit, Loss and Discounts

A shopkeeper gains a profit of 15% on selling a book after offering a 20% discount on the marked printed price. The ratio of the printed price to the cost price of the book is:

💡Correct Answer: Option C (23:16)

Selling Price:

SP = MP \times (1 - 0.20) = 0.80 MP

.
Also

SP = CP \times (1 + 0.15) = 1.15 CP

.

0.80 MP = 1.15 CP \implies \frac{MP}{CP} = \frac{1.15}{0.80} = \frac{115}{80} = \frac{23}{16}

.

🧮 Quantitative AptitudeSuccessive Discounts

In a Diwali sale, there was a 25% discount on electric choppers. Sudha received an additional 10% cash discount and paid Rs. 405. What was the original tagged printed price of the chopper?

💡Correct Answer: Option D (600)

Net price after successive discounts of 25% and 10%:

P = MP \times (1 - 0.25) \times (1 - 0.10) = 0.75 \times 0.90 \times MP = 0.675 MP

.

0.675 MP = 405 \implies MP = \frac{405}{0.675} = \text{Rs. } 600

Quantitative Aptitude & Basic MathematicsTrue Discount & Commercial Mathematics

The true discount on Rs. 1800 due after a certain time at 10% per annum is Rs. 200. The time after which it is due is:

💡Correct Answer: Option D (15 months)

Present Worth (PW):

\text{PW} = \text{Amount} - \text{True Discount} = 1800 - 200 = 1600

Using the formula

\text{TD} = \frac{\text{PW} \times R \times T}{100}

:

200 = \frac{1600 \times 10 \times T}{100} = 160T

T = \frac{200}{160} = \frac{5}{4}\text{ years} = \frac{5}{4} \times 12 = 15\text{ months}.

A sum of money amounts to Rs. 9,800 after 5 years and Rs. 12,005 after 8 years at the same rate of simple interest. What is the rate of interest per annum?

💡Correct Answer: Option B (12%)

Simple Interest for 3 years (between Year 5 and Year 8):

\text{SI}_{3\text{ yrs}} = 12005 - 9800 = 2205

Simple Interest for 1 year:

\text{SI}_{1\text{ yr}} = \frac{2205}{3} = 735

Principal

P

:

P = 9800 - (5 \times 735) = 9800 - 3675 = 6125

Rate of Interest

R

:

R = \frac{\text{SI}_{1\text{ yr}}}{P} \times 100 = \frac{735}{6125} \times 100 = 12\%.

Q404

Quantitative Aptitude & Basic MathematicsSimple and Compound Interest

The difference between simple interest and compound interest (interest is compounded half yearly) on a sum at the rate of 25% per annum for one year is Rs. 4,575. What will be the principal?

💡Correct Answer: Option D (Rs. 292800)

For half-yearly compounding over 1 year:
- Number of conversion periods

n = 2

- Rate per half-year

r = \frac{25}{2}\% = 12.5\% = \frac{1}{8}

Difference formula for 2 periods:

\text{Diff} = P \left(\frac{r}{100}\right)^2 = P \left(\frac{1}{8}\right)^2 = \frac{P}{64}

Given

\text{Diff} = 4575

:

P = 4575 \times 64 = 292,800\text{ Rs}.

Q405

Quantitative Aptitude & Basic MathematicsProfit and Loss & Discounts

A shopkeeper offers a discount of 15% on the marked price of an item. If the marked price of the item is Rs. 800, what is the selling price?

💡Correct Answer: Option C (Rs. 680)

Marked Price (MP) = Rs. 800, Discount = 15%.
Discount Amount =

800 \times 0.15 = 120\text{ Rs}

.
Selling Price (SP) =

800 - 120 = 680\text{ Rs}

.

Q406

Quantitative Aptitude & Basic MathematicsPercentages & Compound Growth

If the population of a town increases by 12% annually, what will be the population after 5 years if the current population is 50,000?

💡Correct Answer: Option B (88117)

Compound population formula:

P_5 = P_0 \times (1 + r)^n = 50000 \times (1.12)^5

.

(1.12)^5 \approx 1.76234168

.

P_5 = 50000 \times 1.76234168 \approx 88,117

Q461

Radiological Physics & Imaging TechnologyUltrasound Pulse Repetition Frequency (PRF)

In ultrasound a 4 MHz transducer has a useful range of 10cm. What is the maximum pulse repetition frequency of this transducer?

💡Correct Answer: Option A (7.7 KHz)

Speed of sound in soft tissue

c = 1540\text{ m/s} = 154,000\text{ cm/s}

.
Round-trip transit distance for depth

d = 10\text{ cm}

is

2d = 20\text{ cm}

.
Time required per pulse

\Delta t = \frac{20\text{ cm}}{154,000\text{ cm/s}} \approx 1.2987 \times 10^{-4}\text{ s}
