Q.2 A solid cube of side 1 m is kept at a temp of 32°C, α = 1 × 10–5/°C, K = 200 GPa.
If the cube is constrained all around and heated to 42°C, the magnitude of volumetric
stress due to heating is __________.

Ans. (60)

Since block is constrained in all direction and heated uniformly. So it is the case of
hydrostatic state of stress.
As we know,
For hydrostatic state of stress,

Q.40 A harmonic function is analytic if it satisfies Laplace equation. If u (x, y) = 2x2 – 2y2 + 4xy
is a harmonic function, then its conjugate harmonic function v (x, y) is
(a) 4y 2 – 4xy + C (b) 4xy – 2x2 + 2y2 + C
(c) –4xy + 2y2 – 2x2 + C (d) 2x2 – 2y2 + xy + C

Ans. (b)
Let f (z) = u + iv is an analytic function where u is harmonic then v is called its harmonic
conjugate.
Here u = 2x 2 – 2y 2 + 4xy i.e. real part is given, so by using Milne-Thomson method.

∂u
Step 1: = 4x + 4y = φ1(x, y)
∂x
Step 2: φ1(z, 0) = 4z

∂u
Step 3: = –4y + 4x = φ2 (x, y )
∂y

Step 4: φ2(z, 0) = 4z

Step 5: f (z) = ∫ ⎡⎣φ1 (z, 0 ) − i φ2 (z, 0 )⎤⎦ + c


2
z
= ∫ (4z − i4z )dz + c = 4 (1− i ) 2 + c
= 2 (1 − i ) ⎡⎣ x 2 − y 2 + 2ixy ⎤⎦ + c

2
(
f (z ) = (2 x − 2y + 4 xy ) + i 4 xy − 2 x + 2y + c

Hence harmonic conjugate, v = 4xy – 2x 2 + 2y 2 + c

Hence different paths are:


P - T - U = 5 + 6 + 3 = 14 weeks ← Critical path
P - Dummy - S - U = 5 + 4 + 3 = 12 weeks
Q - R - S - U = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10 weeks
∵ Only ‘S’ is delayed and no other activity is delayed.
So, maximum activity time for activity ‘S’ can be 6 weeks without delaying the project.

Q.1 If the sum of two numbers is 26 and product is 165. The difference between the number
is
(a) 4 (b) 6
(c) 3 (d) 5

Ans. (a)
Let two numbers are x and y
Given, (x + y) = 26
x y = 165
We know that, (x – y)2 = (x + y)2 – 4xy
= (26)2 – 4 × 165
(x – y)2 = 16
x – y=4

Q.7 A prisoner is allowed to say one statement before he is given the punishment. If he
says a true statement, he is hanged and if says a false statement then he is shot. What
would have the prisoner said so that the judge has to release him without giving the
punishment?
(a) You committed the crime.
(b) I committed the crime
(c) I will be shot
(d) I didn’t committed the crime

Ans. (c)
Remaining three options would lead to the prisoner being hanged or shot. This answer
choice creates two contradictory situations.

Q.8 A sum of Rs.1,00,000 was invested in two different places, such that they will give return
profit of 10% and 12% respectively. If the return profit was interchanged, then the person
would get Rs.120 less. What is the ratio in which the amount was distributed?
(a) 24 : 76 (b) 47 : 53
(c) 9 : 16 (d) None

Ans. (b)
1 st condition
Total amount = 100000
Assume, A has invested Rs.x at 10% rate and Rs (100000 – x) at 12% interest.
Total interest = 0.1x + (100000 – x) × 0.12
(TI)I = 12000 – 0.02x
nd
2 condition
Assume, A has invested Rs x at 12% rate and Rs (100000 – x) at 10% interest.
Total interest = 0.12x + (100000 – x) × 0.1
(TI)II = 10000 + 0.02x
Given, (TI)I – (TI)II = 120
(12000 – 0.02x) – (10000 + 0.02x) = 120

(a) 72 (b) 60
(c) 35 (d) 30

Ans. (d)
In 2010 total employees = 600
In 2016 there is 15% increment in number of employees.
In 2016 total employees = 1.15 × 600 = 690
Given, there is no change in P, Q and R type employees.
There is 40% increment in ‘S’ type employees.

T (5) P

S (25) Q

⎛ 25 ⎞
Now,Total employees in 2016 = ⎜⎝ 600 × ⎟ × 1.4 = 150 × 1.4
100 ⎠
= 210 employees
⎛ 25 ⎞
Increase in ‘S’ type employees = 210 − ⎜⎝ 600 × ⎟ = 60
100 ⎠
5
Initially, ‘T’ type employees = × 600 = 30
100
In 2016, increase in ‘T ’ type employees = (690 – 600 – 60) = 30
In 2016, total ‘T ’ type employees = (30 + 30) = 60 employees
