ANS:E - Both I and II are implicit

Explanation: The concept of Plus Coffee Shops has been attracted to draw in more customers by providing a calm, soothing, musical environment along with a wide variety of breakfast. So, both I and II are implicit.

ANS:B - 2 5

No answer description is available. Let's discuss.

ANS:C - dip of the cable decreases

The "dip" of a cable refers to the amount of sag or curvature that the cable exhibits when suspended between two points, such as the towers of a suspension bridge. It's the distance between the lowest point of the cable and a hypothetical straight line drawn between the two anchor points. When a suspension bridge is subjected to a rise in temperature, several changes occur due to thermal expansion. The most significant change is the elongation of the cables. As the temperature increases, the metal cables comprising the bridge expand, causing their length to increase. Now, let's consider the effect of this increase in cable length on the dip of the cable:

1. Increase in Length: As the cables expand due to the rise in temperature, their overall length increases. This increase in length affects the sagging profile of the cables.
2. Reduction in Sag: The increase in cable length pulls the cable tauter. The additional length effectively reduces the amount of sag or dip that the cable exhibits between the towers. Essentially, the cables become more stretched out and less curved between the anchor points.
3. Decrease in Dip: Therefore, due to the elongation of the cables and the resulting increase in tension, the dip of the cable decreases. The lowest point of the cable is pulled upward, closer to the straight line between the towers, resulting in less noticeable sag or dip.

ANS:D - Both (a) and (b)

Yes, the answer is D because TEM wave electric and magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of propagation and so we will not have any source of supply in direction of motion which is the basic requirement for the propagation.

ANS:D - can be caused by poor paging algorithms

Not all virtual memory systems are prone to thrashing. Thrashing is consequence of paging and not virtual memory.

The VAX-11 ISA that use a Paged Page Table in the virtual memory is the perfect example of Thrashing, not because it uses virtual memory but because it has to fetch the pages of the page table from the virtual memory causing thrashing.

The exact same VAX-11 ISA if used with 256 byte page size (instead of 512 byte) and 8-bit page address (instead of complete 22-bit available) has absolutely no thrashing whatsoever due to the page table being always loaded on the physical memory. It still has a 30-bit address bus for virtual addressing.

ANS:A - gm/cm²

The unit of specific cake resistance is gm/cm² (grams per square centimeter). Here’s why:

1. Specific Cake Resistance:
   • Specific cake resistance (also known as specific filtration resistance) is a measure of the resistance offered by the filter cake formed during filtration.
   • It quantifies the difficulty of fluid flow through the filter cake and is influenced by factors such as cake thickness, porosity, and the characteristics of the solids being filtered.
2. Units:
   • Specific cake resistance is typically expressed in units of mass per unit area.
   • In the SI (International System of Units) system, the unit of mass is grams (g), and the unit of area is square centimeters (cm²).
   • Therefore, specific cake resistance is commonly measured in grams per square centimeter (gm/cm²).
3. Other Options:
   • cm/gm: This unit would represent the reciprocal of specific cake resistance, which is not typically used as a standard unit.
   • cm/gm²: This unit is not commonly used for specific cake resistance measurement, as it does not correctly represent the mass per unit area.
   • gm/gm: This unit does not correspond to specific cake resistance and is not applicable in this context.

ANS:B - New Zealand
