B
which does not vary with the direction or pointing
C
which varies with the direction of pointing and inversely with the length of sight
ANS:C -
which varies with the direction of pointing and inversely with the length of sight
If the centering is not proper then the horizontal axis of the instrument is not leveled properly means the instrument is some kind inclined at any side so when we take reading at different point error is also different and the error formula = (L x (dL/ ΣL) so it's inversely proportional to the total length.

ANS:A - silicon
Silicon is a chemical element with the symbol Si and atomic number 14. It is a metalloid, meaning it has properties of both metals and non-metals. Silicon is the second most abundant element in the Earth's crust after oxygen, making up about 27.7% of the crust by mass. It is not found in its pure form in nature but rather as various compounds, most commonly as silicon dioxide (SiO2), also known as silica or quartz.
In industrial applications, silicon plays a crucial role as an alloying element in the production of various materials, particularly aluminum alloys and silicones. Here are some key points about silicon:
-
Aluminum Alloys: Silicon is commonly added to aluminum alloys to improve their properties. It enhances the castability, fluidity, and strength of the alloy, making it suitable for various casting processes such as die casting and sand casting. Aluminum-silicon alloys also exhibit good corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, and wear resistance.
-
Silicones: Silicones are a group of synthetic polymers containing silicon, oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen. They have a wide range of applications due to their unique properties, including heat resistance, flexibility, water repellency, and biocompatibility. Silicones are used in sealants, adhesives, lubricants, medical implants, and various consumer products.
-
Semiconductors: Silicon is the dominant material used in the semiconductor industry for manufacturing electronic devices such as integrated circuits (ICs) and solar cells. Silicon's semiconducting properties, along with its abundance and stability, make it ideal for producing reliable electronic components.
-
Glass and Ceramics: Silicon dioxide, derived from silicon, is a key component of glass and ceramics. It provides strength, hardness, and heat resistance to these materials, making them suitable for a wide range of applications in construction, electronics, and manufacturing.
-
Metallurgy: In metallurgy, silicon is used as a deoxidizing agent in the production of steel and other metals. It helps remove impurities such as oxygen and sulfur from molten metal, improving the quality and properties of the final product.
Overall, silicon is a versatile element with a wide range of industrial applications, from improving the properties of alloys to enabling the production of advanced electronic devices and materials.

ANS:A - 65536
2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 *2 * 2 *2 *2 *2 *2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 65536.
=>2^16 = 65536.

ANS:B - MT-2
Surface tension is defined as the force acting per unit length along the interface between two liquids or between a liquid and a gas. Its dimensional formula can be derived using Newton's equation:
γ=FL\gamma = \frac{F}{L}γ=LF
where γ\gammaγ is surface tension, FFF is force, and LLL is length.
To find the dimensions:
- The dimension of force [F][F][F] is MLT−2\text{MLT}^{-2}MLT−2.
- The dimension of length [L][L][L] is L\text{L}L.
Therefore, the dimensional formula for surface tension [γ][\gamma][γ] is:
[γ]=[F][L]=MLT−2L=MT−2[\gamma] = \frac{[F]}{[L]} = \frac{\text{MLT}^{-2}}{\text{L}} = \text{MT}^{-2}[γ]=[L][F]=LMLT−2=MT−2
So, the correct answer is:
MT−2^{-2}−2
