The volume of the largest right circular cone that can be cut out from a cube of edge 4.2 cm is
  • a)
    9.7 cm3
  • b)
    77.6 cm3
  • c)
    58.2 cm3
  • d)
    19.4 cm3
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Rajeev Malik answered
The volume of the largest right circular cone that can be cut out from a cube of edge 4.2 cm is 19.404 cm^3.


Edge of the cube = 4.2 cm

i.e 2r = 4.2

r = 4.2/2 = 2.1 cm

h = 4.2 cm

Volume of the cone = 1/3 * pi * r^2 * h

=> 1/3 * 22/7 * 2.1 * 2.1 * 4.2

=> 19.404 cm^3

Hence, the volume of the largest right circular cone that can be cut out from a cube of edge 4.2 cm is 19.404 cm^3.

    The increase in effective area of the cross-section.
  • C:
    The decrease in effective length.
  • D:
    None of the above
The answer is b.

Rohan Kapoor answered
Resistance (R)depends on the resistivity of the nuteial (pl. length of the oats' (Li and cross sectional area (A) of the material following the equation: 
R = p* L/A 
When hooking resistors in parallel, you are increasingthecross sectional area of the resistance path. If you like to use the water hose analogy, you are draining the tub (battery - power source)with two hoses (resistors)instead of one. It makes the tub move water (current) Faster because you have more paths (bigger cross sectional area) for the water to flow. 
If you look at the original equation above you will notice that replacing A with 2A (two of the same resistors in parade) you will cut the resistance in half. 
That's the theory. In practice. to find the resistance you would Ix/mayjust add the reciprocal ol the usevidual resistors to get the reciprocal of the total resistance 
1/R  -total = 1/RI + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + .... 
for however many resistors you have in parallel. For example. 
If you have only 2 resistors in parallel. a 50 ohm in parallel with a 100 ohm resistor then... 
1/R - total = 1 /50 ohm + 1/100 ohm = 2/100 ohm + 1/100 ohm 
= 3/100 ohm 

so,
R - total = 103/3 = 33.3 ohm (most peocre forget die step) 
A good rule to remember is that you total resistance is less than the smallest resistor when they are connected in parallel. 

When we produce a good by exploiting natural resources, it is an activity of the:
  • a)
    Secondary sector
  • b)
    Tertiary sector
  • c)
    Primary sector
  • d)
    Organised sector
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Amit Kumar answered
When the economic activity depends mainly on exploitation of natural resources then that activity comes under the primary sector. Agriculture and its related activities are the primary sectors of economy. PRIMARY SECTOR is the economic sector that produce goods by exploiting the natural resources because it forms the base for all the products that are associated directly with land and water. Production of wheat, vegetables, milk , marble and coal are some examples of this sector.

What is the primary characteristic that differentiates the tertiary sector from the primary and secondary sectors?
  • a)
    It produces goods
  • b)
    It provides support and services
  • c)
    It focuses on agriculture
  • d)
    It manufactures products
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Nk Classes answered
The tertiary sector is unique because it provides services and support rather than producing goods. For example, transportation and retail services support the distribution of goods produced by the primary and secondary sectors.

Which of the following sectors includes workers who are often involved in informal or temporary employment?
  • a)
    Organised Sector
  • b)
    Public Sector
  • c)
    Unorganised Sector
  • d)
    Secondary Sector
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

The unorganised sector is characterized by informal or temporary employment, with workers often facing irregular income and lack of job security. This sector includes small-scale businesses and informal employment settings.

What is disguised unemployment?
  • a)
    When workers are fully employed but underpaid
  • b)
    When workers are employed but their skills are not fully utilized
  • c)
    When workers are unable to find any work at all
  • d)
    When workers receive high wages but are overworked
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Disguised unemployment occurs when workers are employed but their skills are not fully utilized. This often happens in situations where more workers are employed than needed, leading to underutilization of labor. For example, if more people work on a farm than necessary, some workers may be underemployed.

How does the tertiary sector contribute to the development of primary and secondary sectors?
  • a)
    By producing raw materials
  • b)
    By providing supporting services
  • c)
    By directly manufacturing goods
  • d)
    By focusing on agriculture
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding the Tertiary Sector's Role
The tertiary sector, also known as the service sector, plays a crucial role in the development of the primary and secondary sectors. It provides essential support that enhances their efficiency and effectiveness.
Supporting Services
- The tertiary sector includes services such as logistics, transportation, and communication, which help in the distribution of raw materials and finished goods.
- Financial services, including banking and insurance, provide the necessary capital and risk management for businesses in the primary and secondary sectors.
- Research and development services contribute to innovation, improving production techniques in agriculture (primary) and manufacturing (secondary).
Enhancing Productivity
- By offering training and education, the tertiary sector helps develop a skilled workforce that can operate in primary and secondary sectors more effectively.
- Technical support services ensure that machinery and equipment used in production are well-maintained and upgraded, leading to increased productivity.
Market Access
- The tertiary sector also plays a vital role in marketing and sales, helping producers in the primary sector (like farmers) gain access to markets.
- Retail services facilitate the sale of products manufactured in the secondary sector, ensuring that goods reach consumers efficiently.
Conclusion
In summary, the tertiary sector is integral to the growth of primary and secondary sectors by providing a wide range of supporting services. These services not only enhance productivity and efficiency but also ensure that goods and services flow smoothly through the economy.

Vaibhav Roy answered
Explanation:
The shuttlecock used in playing badminton has a unique shape that helps it to move swiftly through the air. The shape of a shuttlecock is the combination of two 3D shapes - a frustum of a cone and a hemisphere.

Frustum of a Cone: The top part of the shuttlecock is shaped like the frustum of a cone. A frustum of a cone is a 3D shape that is formed when the top part of a cone is cut off parallel to the base. The frustum of a cone has two circular bases, one larger than the other, and a curved surface.

Hemisphere: The bottom part of the shuttlecock is shaped like a hemisphere. A hemisphere is a 3D shape that is formed when a sphere is cut in half. A hemisphere has a curved surface and a circular base.

Combination of Frustum of a Cone and Hemisphere: The shuttlecock is made by joining the frustum of a cone and hemisphere at their circular bases. The frustum of a cone forms the top part of the shuttlecock, while the hemisphere forms the bottom part.

The frustum of a cone and hemisphere are combined to create the unique shape of the shuttlecock. This shape helps the shuttlecock to move swiftly through the air and change direction easily, making it perfect for playing badminton.
