The question asks to identify the incorrect statement about the modern periodic table. We need to evaluate each option based on the established structure and principles of the modern periodic table.
Based on the analysis, statement B is the incorrect one.
B) Period 1 has only one element — This statement is incorrect. Period 1 of the modern periodic table contains two elements: Hydrogen (H) and Helium (He).
The question asks about the effect of friction on screws, ball bearings, and shoe soles. We need to understand the nature of friction and its common consequences on materials that experience it.
Correct Option: D) Friction wears out these materials and damages them
To find the greatest number that divides 115, 149, and 183 leaving specific remainders (3, 5, and 7 respectively), we first subtract the remainders from the original numbers. The resulting numbers will be perfectly divisible by the required greatest number. Therefore, the problem reduces to finding the HCF (Highest Common Factor) of these new numbers.
D) 16 is the greatest number that divides 115, 149, and 183 leaving remainders 3, 5, and 7 respectively.
Convert into vulgar fraction: 4.1\(\overline{2}\)
\(\frac{371}{900}\)
\(\frac{299}{121}\)
4\( \frac{11}{90} \)
4\( \frac{11}{99} \)
To convert a recurring decimal into a vulgar fraction, we separate the non-recurring and recurring parts. We can express the given number as a sum of its integer part and its decimal part, and then convert the decimal part into a fraction using a standard method for recurring decimals.
The given number is \(4.1\overline{2}\). We can write this as:
\[ 4.1\overline{2} = 4 + 0.1\overline{2} \]Let \(x = 0.1\overline{2}\). This means \(x = 0.1222...\)
Multiply by 10 to move the non-recurring digit to the left of the decimal point:
\[ 10x = 1.222... \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \]Multiply by 100 to move one block of the recurring digits to the left of the decimal point:
\[ 100x = 12.222... \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \]Subtracting the two equations eliminates the recurring part:
\[ 100x - 10x = 12.222... - 1.222... \]\[ 90x = 11 \]Divide by 90 to find the fractional value of \(x\):
\[ x = \frac{11}{90} \]Now, substitute the value of \(x\) back into the expression from Step 1:
\[ 4.1\overline{2} = 4 + \frac{11}{90} \]\[ 4.1\overline{2} = 4\frac{11}{90} \]C) \(4\frac{11}{90}\) is the correct conversion of \(4.1\overline{2}\) into a mixed vulgar fraction.

Correct Option: C) 466765
The problem asks us to evaluate two conclusions based on a given statement. We need to determine which conclusion(s) logically follow from the statement. The statement indicates a disparity between the increasing domestic demand for crude oil and the slower increase in indigenous production.
Analyze the Statement: The statement is: "Domestic demand has been increasing faster than the production of indigenous crude oil." This implies that the supply from indigenous production is not keeping pace with the domestic demand. In other words, there is a growing gap between demand and indigenous supply.
Evaluate Conclusion I: "Crude oil must be imported if the demand has to be met." If domestic production cannot meet the increasing demand, then to satisfy that demand, the deficit must be covered by an external source. Importing crude oil is the logical way to cover this deficit. Therefore, this conclusion logically follows from the statement.
Evaluate Conclusion II: "Domestic demand should be reduced." While reducing demand might be a possible solution to the problem of unmet demand, the statement itself only describes a situation (demand increasing faster than production). It does not provide any information or justification to conclude that demand *should* be reduced. This is a prescriptive statement (what *should* be done), whereas the original statement is descriptive. There might be other ways to address the gap, such as increasing indigenous production faster, or importing. The conclusion that demand *should* be reduced is an opinion or a policy suggestion, not a direct logical inference from the given factual statement. Therefore, this conclusion does not logically follow from the statement alone.
Combine the evaluations: Only Conclusion I logically follows from the given statement.
D) Only conclusion I follows
Conclusion I is a direct and necessary consequence of the statement. If demand is increasing faster than production, and the demand needs to be met, then the only way to bridge the gap is through imports.
A) Both conclusions I and II follow — This is incorrect because Conclusion II does not logically follow. Reducing demand is a potential solution, but not a logical necessity derived solely from the statement.
B) Only conclusion II follows — This is incorrect because Conclusion I logically follows, and Conclusion II does not.
C) Either conclusion I or II follows — This is incorrect. Conclusion I definitely follows, but Conclusion II does not. The word "either" implies that both are valid possibilities, which is not the case for Conclusion II.
Find the square root of \(\frac{x^2}{y^2}+\frac{y^2}{x^2}-2\)
\(\frac{x}{2y}+\frac{y}{2x}\)
\(\frac{x}{y}-\frac{y}{x}\)
\(\frac{x-y}{2}\)
\(\frac{x}{y}+\frac{y}{x}\)
The problem asks us to find the square root of a given algebraic expression. We can simplify the expression by recognizing it as a perfect square trinomial, specifically of the form \((a-b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2\).
Let the given expression be \(E\):
\[ E = \frac{x^2}{y^2} + \frac{y^2}{x^2} - 2 \]We can rewrite the terms in the expression to match the form \(a^2 + b^2 - 2ab\). Let \(a = \frac{x}{y}\) and \(b = \frac{y}{x}\).
Then, \[a^2 = \left(\frac{x}{y}\right)^2 = \frac{x^2}{y^2}\] and \[b^2 = \left(\frac{y}{x}\right)^2 = \frac{y^2}{x^2}\].
Now, let's calculate \(2ab\):
\[ 2ab = 2 \left(\frac{x}{y}\right) \left(\frac{y}{x}\right) = 2 \left(\frac{xy}{yx}\right) = 2(1) = 2 \]Substitute these back into the expression \(E\):
\[ E = \frac{x^2}{y^2} + \frac{y^2}{x^2} - 2 = \left(\frac{x}{y}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{y}{x}\right)^2 - 2 \left(\frac{x}{y}\right) \left(\frac{y}{x}\right) \]This is exactly the expansion of \((a-b)^2\), so we can write:
\[ E = \left(\frac{x}{y} - \frac{y}{x}\right)^2 \]The problem asks for the square root of this expression. Therefore, we need to find \(\sqrt{E}\):
\[ \sqrt{E} = \sqrt{\left(\frac{x}{y} - \frac{y}{x}\right)^2} \]The square root of a square is the absolute value of the term inside, i.e., \(\sqrt{k^2} = |k|\). However, in competitive exams, when not specified, the positive square root is generally implied, and the options usually provide the direct term. Thus, we take:
\[ \sqrt{E} = \frac{x}{y} - \frac{y}{x} \]B) \[\frac{x}{y}-\frac{y}{x}\] is the correct square root of the given expression, as derived by recognizing the perfect square trinomial.
The question gives eight colleagues J, K, L, M, N, O, P and Q sitting around a circular table facing the centre, each holding a different post, with clues about seats and posts. We need to fix J, the Fireman and Q first, then place the Inspector block, K, N, L and the remaining people, and finally identify the Goods guard.
Identify the given information:
Recall the direction rule:
When people sit around a table facing the centre, moving to a person's left means moving clockwise, and moving to a person's right means moving anticlockwise.
Place J, the Fireman and Q:
Number the seats clockwise from 1 and place J at seat 1. J is three seats anticlockwise from the Fireman, so the Fireman is at seat 4. With two people between the Fireman and Q, Q is at seat 7.
Place the Inspector, N, K and the Pilot:
Testing the possible seats, the only placement that satisfies all clues is: Inspector at seat 7 (Q), so N is at seat 5 (two seats anticlockwise), which is not next to Q. The Trackman and the Pilot are at seats 6 and 8; the Pilot at seat 8 must be three seats anticlockwise from K, so K is at seat 3.
Place L, O, P, M and the remaining posts:
L is at seat 4, to the immediate right of the Clerk N at seat 5, so L is the Fireman. O is not next to J, so O is at seat 6 (Trackman). P is not next to the Inspector, so P is at seat 2 and M at seat 8 (Pilot). The Safaiwala and Accountant must be neighbours, away from the Fireman and not J; so P is the Safaiwala and K the Accountant. J is left with the post of Goods guard.
Final arrangement (clockwise from seat 1): J (Goods guard), P (Safaiwala), K (Accountant), L (Fireman), N (Clerk), O (Trackman), Q (Inspector), M (Pilot).
Correct Option: B) J — After all the clues are applied, every post except Goods guard is taken by the other seven colleagues, so J is the Goods guard. Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
A) P: This is incorrect because P is the Safaiwala, sitting next to the Accountant K.
C) N: This is incorrect because N is the Clerk, sitting to the immediate left of L.
D) Q: This is incorrect because Q is the Inspector, sitting between the Trackman and the Pilot.
