    1. Any tricks to find out low shutter and high shutter photography

      Delete
    2. what is the speed of the normal shutter?

      Delete
    3. High shutter speed photography can capture minute details of moving objects. In the above picture you can see how water was clearly captured with all details (even though it is splashing !!!). Photography with low shutter speed will have blurred image for moving objects. More about this can be found in the below link

    3. Hi Trupti,

      Sorry for replying lately, Anyway, as we are near to exam, it's a bit difficult for anyone to make them self quicker in maths, the only thing is by practicing. I recommend you to try higher school (9th and 10th class) mathematics mensuration problems - that is available in books and even in net. Please solve more problems. That's the only thing you can do now ..... :)

    4. yeah.. I know its too less time..
      Even they have negative marking for multiple choice so its kind of risky thing to go for.. Can't even just bluff it up.
      Hope for the less maths problems. :P

    7. Hi Jyoti,
      Identification of material is based on your observation and idea of materials, the best way is to make yourself go through sculptors that are well know around, some things about materials I covered in my earlier post of "Materials and manufacturing process".
      But I suppose that 'recognize material' type of questions were generally asked for famous sculptors. So, it's all ways better to go through the famous sculptors and OBSERVE it. I hereby give the below link for reference,
      (I didn't included that kind of pictures in my blog because it contains some naked views !!! and I don't want to show such things in my blog)

  18. Do u have any link regarding to identify the letters from illusions ?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Hi Suprita,

      As of now, I don't have any link regarding illusions. But I can give you a suggestion. For finding hidden letters in any image one must enclose the patterned word in a box (just assume as enclosed) by exactly fitting the image outer border with lines that will help you find the word.
      You may also move the paper far form your vision (to make the picture look small) which will make you read the picture.

      The same thing has been given clearly in this blog. Check this link for more clarification

    1. getting answer as sqrt(27) for ant question......if not could u plz explain?

      Delete
    2. If the sides of a cube are say a,b,c, then the shortest distance traveled by the ant from one bottom corner to diagonally opposite top corner is the minimum of
      Sqrt[(a^2+b^2) + c^2], Sqrt[(b^2+c^2) + a^2], Sqrt[(a^2+c^2) + b^2]

      In reality if u assume the box to be opened, then the two adjacent faces (on which the ant travels) will flatten to a rectangle shape with the length as (a+b) and width/height as c, now the shortest distance is the straight line joining the two points, i.e the diagonal which is obtained by using Pythagoras theorem. Got it ???

      Delete
    3. this question is bugging me.. its said that the ant is supposed to go to the diagonally opposite corner of space right? (since ants cannot fly) they have to go diagonally to the opposite corner of same plane and crawl to the destination, here upwards.. according to the answer you provided, my approach is wrong.why?
      please make me understand.

    4. Hi Srinath,

      The thing is the ant will crawl along from bottom point to the top diagonal by crawling along its wall. The ant will travel along two side walls, so instead of viewing that in 3D, We assume that the side wall in unfolded to the same plane as the first to from a 2D rectangle of bottom length = length of first wall + Length of second wall = a+b , and height equal to actual height of the solid cube. The shortest distance will now be the diagonal of he new rectangle.

    1. Hello Manish,
      For question no. 7, please note the procedure
      The given sheet is a rectangle with L=44cm and b=18 cm, so when we roll/fold along its length, it does mean that the new obtained cylinder will have height = breadth of the sheet (i.e 18 cm) and length of the sheet will now be the perimeter or circumference of the new cylinder. right ???

      so,
      h = 18 cm, and
      2*PI*R = 44 cm which will give R = 7 cm,
      now the volume of cylinder is PI*sqr(R)*h

      Delete
    2. This is a kind of mathematical problem, the solution goes like this

      Let the no. of birds on tree A be "x"
      and the no. of birds on tree B be "y"
      so as per the first statement if one bird from B comes to tree A then no. of birds on A will be double of B". so
      (x+1) = 2*(y-1)

      as per the second statement "if one bird joins tree B from A, then the number of birds on both will be same ". So

      (y+1) = (x-1)

      now solve the above two equations for x and y.
      Got it right ???

    1. Hi Chaitali,

      Sorry for late reply. Ok regarding the 5th question, please go through the working

      The string is making 6 complete turns of height 108 cm, so for one complete turn it will cover 108/6 = 18 cm height
      now assume we have a cylinder of height 18 cm and circumference 24 cm, if you unfold/unwrap the cylinder into a plain sheet, we will get a rectangle of width = height of cylinder and length of rectangle = circumference of the cylinder

      Now the shortest length of the string is the diagonal of the rectangle which can be obtained by Pythagoras theorem i.e sqrt(18^2 + 24^2)
      which will come to be 30 cm
      so for a single turn it is 30cm, for the total 6 turns, length = 30*6 = 180cm
      got it now ??

      Delete
    2. Regarding the 6th question,

      Applying the same concept as we applied for 5th, we will get the solution
      It's already given that for one complete turn of the creep, the height is 90 cm, so just like previous problem we will unfold the cylinder to a rectangle of dimensions L = 48 cm and b = 90 cm
      Finding the diagonal as sqrt(48^2 + 90^2) = 102 cm; which is the length of the creep for a single turn
      Total number of complete turns = 720/90 = 8
      So, the total length = 102*8 = 816 cm
      got it ??

    2. I explained a similar question in the comments above dt: 21.11.13, anyway let me repeat for your sake .....


      The solution goes like this

      Let the no. of balls with Somu be "x"
      and the no. of balls with Bhanu be "y"
      so as per the first statement "if Bhanu gives four balls to Somu, then both will have equal" so
      (x+4) = (y-4)

      as per the second statement "if Somu gives four balls to Bhanu, then Bhanu will have double than Somu ". So

      (y+4) = 2*(x-4)
      now solve the above two equations for x and y.

      Now , I hope u got that :)

      Hopefully this type of questions depends on individual, but somewhere I have doubt because if they asked in exam (general for everyone) - mean it might have some logic or standard in it.

    1. Hi Manish,

      Note the working as below
      1.since the teacher uses one chalk a day, so for sixteen days 16 fresh chalks she uses
      2. as stated in problem, every chalk leaves 1/4 th piece a day, so for 16 days she will have 16 pieces of 1/4th which she will join to get 4 chalks, got ? These four chalks she will use four more days
      3. As usual for four days, the number of 1/4 piece left is 4, which she joins to get a single chalk
      4. That chalk she will use the next day

      So, summing them, we have 16+4+1 = 21 days
      got it manish ?

    2. Hi Siddiqui,

      Note the working as follows
      It was said that the snail can crawl 8 ft up but falls 5 ft everyday, so relatively the snail will crawl 3 ft. Let us make a table for more clear

      Day ---------------I----II-----III-----IV-----V-----VI-----VII-----VIII
      Feet touched---8---11----14---17----20----23-----26-----29
      actual position--3---6------9----12----15----18-----21-----24

      For the first day, the snail reached 8th ft, but during night it fell down to 3rd feet, now in the second day the snail will start from 3rd feet and will reach (3+8)=11th feet, but at night it fells to (11-5) = 6th feet, like this the above table was formed

      now, we can see from the above two samples that everyday the length (feet touched) reached is added by 3 to the previous day, i.e 8,11(8+3),14(11+3) ...... like this we will get (26+3) on the 8th day which is the answer.

      Once it reaches the top, it won't slip further, right ??? I hope you got now

      You may think for some problems like
      1. No proper ventilation and arrangements like chairs, table, fans, lightning system etc
      2. Insufficient racks/alimarah for files and paper storage with appropriate tagging system
      3. Provision of facilities like phone, water
      4. Irregular cleaning of rooms makes the room untidy

      These are just some of my points, I wanted you to think some more points of your own and sketch your ideas neatly. You may check my blog post about problem identification for Bus-stop and similar topics to get more idea

      I am also not sure about it. I think It can be used because there is no specific mentioning about that; but for questions which demand only pencils to be used - it's better to prefer pencil ONLY.

    1. Hi,

      Just like the case of recognizing material for sculptors, dances and paintings need ones observation skills, It's about awareness. I don't think there is any shortcut or a thumb rule to distinguish one from other; like you said some paintings may look similar. Best way is to expose oneself to the world's famous paintings, dances and even sculptures. That might do. It's all about your remembrance !!!
