In diesel engine, ignition is caused by
(a)
Spark
(b)
Automatic starter
(c)
Compression
(d)
Friction
Ans:
c) Compression
(The diesel
engine (also known as a compression-ignition or CI
engine), named after Rudolf Diesel, is an internal
combustion engine in which ignition of the fuel which
is injected into the combustion chamber is
caused by the elevated temperature of the air in the cylinder due to mechanical
compression (adiabatic compression). Diesel
engines work by compressing only the air.)
8.
The mass-energy equivalence, relationship E = mc2 was propounded by
(a)
Max Plank
(b)
Einstein
(c)
Newton
(d)
Hertz
Ans:
b) Einstein
(Mass-energy equivalence states that mass is concentrated energy. In
his theory of special relativity Einstein formulated the equation E=mc2. There is a
tremendous amount of energy in mass. A 20g marble contains as much energy as a
500 kiloton hydrogen bomb, but this energy is very difficult to release. It can
be released through matter-antimatter annihilation, when matter and antimatter
come together. Nuclear reactions can be understood to release so much more
energy than chemical reactions because of the mass changes.)

Anti-knocking can be lessened by
(a)
Iso Octane
(b)
N Heptane
(c)
TEL
(d)
Benzene
Ans:
a) Iso Octane
Antiknock
agents are the chemical compounds added in small quantities (less than 1
percent) to motor fuels to improve the antiknock ratings of the fuel. Usually
added to gasoline to raise its octane value. Higher octane value means gasoline
will ignite at higher temperature and pressure. It helps the fuel to ignite at
correct time reducing pre- detonation which can be harmful for the engines. The
octane number of gasoline increases in the order: Paraffin→ Olefins→ naphthene→ Iso-paraffin→
aromatics. Some of the antiknock agents used are: TETRAETHYL LEAD AND TETRA
METHYL LEAD (TEL/TML), BENZOLE, METHYL
TERTIARY BUTYL ETHER: (MTBE).

27 students took part in a debate of a college. What is the probability that at
least 3 of them have their
birth days in the same month?
(a)
3/27
(b)
3/12
(c)
1/2
(d)
1
Ans:
d) 1
This is a
question based on a sure event. We have to
distribute 27 birthdays among 12 months. Let's take extreme cases.
1. Assume that
all 27 birthdays fall in ONLY one among 12 months. So, there is a month in
which at least 3 birthdays fall in the same month. Probability = 1
2a. Let's
distribute 27 birthdays equally among 12 months, and see whether there is a
month(s) that have at least 3 birthdays. Since
12*2 = 24, we must have a month that must accommodate 3 more birthdays (27 - 24
= 3), so that very month has 5 birthdays (Al least 3 birthdays). Probability =
1
2b. Another
way of distribution of the remaining 3 birthdays in the case discussed above
(case 2), we may have three months that each have 3 birthdays. Again the
condition of at least 3 birthdays is fulfilled. Probability = 1
