ANS:B - A, B

The statement 1 and 2 does not yield the base address of the array. While the scanf() and printf() yields the base address of the array.

ANS:B - is minimum if the staff is held truly normal to the line of sight.

If staff is not vertical, the reading will be too great. If staff is normal to the line of sight the value will be minimum or accurate. It will not be maximum. The intercept of staff increases when it is tilted away from norman and decreases or gets minimum when moved towards normal. Staff intercept is the difference in reading between top and bottom cross hairs. If the staff is tilted forward or backward from normal, the staff intercept will increase. It is minimum when staff is truly vertical. Reading will increase in both cases, if tilted away or towards. Because it's minimum when staff held normal. So you can't go below the minimum. So answer D is also correct but B is more logical. Staff intercept: is the difference between the reading measured at top cross hair and bottom cross hair of telescope.

ANS:D - both (a) and (c)

Lead resistance is important when measuring low resistance. Resistance of shunt and ammeter is low.

ANS:C - both (a) and (b)

For constant rate drying, the effects of velocity, temperature, and humidity of the gas, as well as the thickness of the solid, are the same. In constant rate drying, the rate of drying is primarily controlled by the rate at which moisture can be transferred from the interior of the solid to its surface. During this stage, the drying process is not limited by the rate of heat or mass transfer at the surface of the solid, but rather by the rate of moisture diffusion within the solid itself. During constant rate drying, the following conditions apply:

• The velocity, temperature, and humidity of the gas: These factors affect the rate of moisture diffusion within the solid, but they do not significantly influence the overall rate of drying during this stage.
• The thickness of the solid: Since the drying process is controlled by moisture diffusion within the solid, changes in the thickness of the solid will affect the distance that moisture needs to travel to reach the surface for evaporation. However, the overall mechanism of drying remains the same regardless of the thickness.

ANS:C - as cube of

The power requirement of fans, which have a constant wheel diameter, varies as the cube of fan speed.

Explanation:

1. Power Requirement of Fans:
   • The power PPP required by a fan to move air is influenced by the fan's speed NNN.
   • Generally, for fans with a constant wheel diameter (impeller size), the power requirement PPP is proportional to N3N^3N3.
2. Relationship with Fan Speed:
   • Cube of Fan Speed: The power requirement increases significantly with increasing fan speed because the power required to overcome air resistance and to move air increases as the cube of the fan speed.
   • This relationship arises because the power required to drive a fan is related to the kinetic energy imparted to the air by the rotating blades, which depends on the square of the velocity (proportional to fan speed) and also the air density.
3. Options Analysis:
   • As square of fan speed: This would not correctly represent the power requirement of a fan with constant wheel diameter; instead, it generally applies to situations where velocity effects dominate.
   • Directly as fan speed: This does not accurately describe the relationship for fans; power typically increases more than linearly with fan speed.
   • As cube of fan speed: This correctly reflects the power requirement for fans with constant wheel diameter due to the kinetic energy relationship involved in moving air efficiently.
