Apply Pythagoras theorem, here the vertical line (in mathematics we call opp. side) is 800 m and the slant line (called hypotenuse) is 1000 m, thus resulting to 600 m as radius, thus dia probably assumes 1200 m.

Slant line - 1000m ?

This is simple, since the man climbed the hill at the rate (velocity) of 2 km/hr, so in an hour he can go to 2km. But it's given in the question that he climbed the hill in half an hour, that is

1 hr  --->  2 km
0.5 hr ----> (0.5*2 km) = (1 km)

  • A photography with low shutter speed results in creating a more pronounced motion blur effect. notice that the remaining backgrounds (trees and wall) looks clean; only the part of movement or motion parts will appear blur.
  • If the shutter speed is high, the camera can catch even minute details of motion/movement, like you can even capture details of water splashing. 
  • when there is a camera shake, all the parts of the picture should be blur.
  • If there is a mistake in saving, then the photo could not be opened at all.

For this question, as the string makes 5 total turns in 15 cm length; assume only one turn in 3 cm length; now you have to imagine that the cylinder of 3 cm length is un-folded in flat surface; thus forming a rectangle of width equal to circle circumference (4 cm) and breadth equal to 3 cm. Notice that the string will assume a straight line if unfolded in flat surface. Now apply Pythagoras theorem to find the hypotenuse, which will turn out as 5. For the total length of cylinder, multiply this by 5 times; thus counting to 25

If 'L' is the length of the pole. one half of the pole is burried in soil; so L/2 part is left, of which one third of the pole is submerged in water and thus the remaining part is (L/2-L/3) which assumes L/6, as given in question this should equal to 2 m. Thus
L/6 = 2
L = 12 m

  4. Can you explain how a cube has the least surface area among the given entities?

    1. Hi Ashish,

      Thanks for intimating and reminding me the question, This is what happens when we r in hurry or we don't read the question carefully. Of course cube has the largest surface and cone should have the least, it's a general observation and of course common sense. anyway let me clearly explain this in mathematical way for everybody understanding

      As all the sides are equal, we take a=b=c=1,
      Now surface area of

      Cube is 6*a*b, which sums to 6
      cylinder is 2*PI*r*(r+a), here r =1/2, so by putting values, we get <6
      Cone is PI*r*(r+s), s is the slant ht equals to sqrt of 2, putting values, we get <3
      Sphere is 4*PI*r*r, we get value >3,

      So cone has the least surface and cube has the largest, I will change my mistake in the above ....... :)

      Delete
    2. If we calculate them, we get sphere with the lowest surface area. Its equal to π for a sphere and >π ( π*1*(0.5+1.414)) for a cone..... :)

      Delete
    3. Oh yes, you are definitely right, sphere does have less surface area, the s value for cone is sqrt 5 divided 2, I will rectify it and thanx once again :)

      Delete
    4. The s value is sqrt(5)/2 but since r equals 0.5, shouldn't it be pi*0.5*(0.5+1.118) which is 0.809*pi?

    1. hmm, u know one thing, I even heard from one of my friend that in Photoshop, both the patches will have same color code or something like that, which I'm not clear. But as per me, if u carefully observe both the patches relative to the actual pattern, u will find that they are partly mis aligned, the darker one is positioned some what above than the lighter blue patch, For this reason only I put D as answer. let us wait and see others answer also .... :)

    2. its 3..they are both the same..it is called the bezold effect..any hue seen under an upper layer is automatically perceived darker by the brain..it happens automatically

  7. sphere has the least surface area
    learned it in physics
    thats why water droplets take the shape of sphere and also bubbles are spherical

      Sorry for late reply and thanks for noting the point. I will correct it ...... :)

  10. Hey, the answer to Q10 is 2. The image is not vertically inverted. It is laterally inverted. So, it is an upright image. Upright images are caused by convex mirrors (diverging mirrors). Concave (Converging) mirrors form inverted images. Additionally, the image is bulging in the middle. This happens in a convex surface. Try to see your image in the back part (convex part) of a polished spoon. You will see your face in the middle bulging out.

    Please correct the answer. Hope this helps.

    ReplyDelete

    1. I don't think walls are in wrong perspective

      Delete
    2. Q-47 ,,, its answer must be 4, because diverging lines of the 'side wall 'window' are not meeting with the vanishing point and not in parallel with wall. back wall or its window has nothing do with perspective as its seen from a viewpoint equally center to it

      Delete
    3. I agree with 7kondal. It's a one-point-perspective drawing where all the lines should be meeting at one VP (here, it may be the center of the back wall window). Side wall window lines do not converge to this point.

      Delete
    4. Offcourse its OPTION NO. 4...!!

      Top and Bottom of window is not parallel to the Corners of that WALL...!!

      Clearly all other 3 things are in PERSPECTIVE...

    5. Yes , it should be option 4 as per rules of perspective drawing

  17. Q. no 13. is must be cone. For calculation of surface area of sphere : what should be considered , the radius or the dia. I think it should be the dia. and if taken so then cone has the least surface area. correct me if i am wrong.

    1. Hello Gafur,
