GATE Engineering Sciences Mock Test - 4 - Question 2

A group of 12 men can complete a task in 20 days. Similarly, 18 women can accomplish the same task in 16 days, while 24 children can finish it in 18 days. After 9 days of work, 8 women and 16 children left the project. How many days will it take for 10 men to finish the remaining portion of the project?

Detailed Solution: Question 2

Let a man, woman, and child per day work M, W, and C respectively.
Given: (12 × 20)M = (18 × 16)W = (24 × 18)C
5M = 6W = 9C
Work done by 8 women and 16 children in 9 days:
= (8W + 16C) × 9
= (8 × 5/6M + 16 × 5/9M) × 9
= 140M
Remaining work = 12M × 20 - 140M = 100M
∴ 10 Men can complete it in = 100 / 10 = 10 days

GATE Engineering Sciences Mock Test - 4 - Question 3

Detailed Solution: Question 3

Take vn = 1 / √n.

Limit as n → ∞ (un / vn) = Limit as n → ∞ [(1 / √n) × {1/2 - 2 / 8n + ...}] ÷ (1 / √n) = 1/2

This value is finite and non-zero.

Using comparison test, ∑uₙ and ∑vₙ converge or diverge together.

But ∑vₙ = ∑(1 / √n) is divergent (since p = 1/2).

∴ ∑uₙ is also divergent.

GATE Engineering Sciences Mock Test - 4 - Question 4

Detailed Solution: Question 4

GATE Engineering Sciences Mock Test - 4 - Question 5

Consider a 3 × 3 upper triangular matrix A with real number entries. Given that a11 = 1, a22 = 2, and a33 = 3, determine the relationship between α, β, and γ such that A-1 = αA2 βA γI.

Detailed Solution: Question 5

Given A⁻¹ = αA² + βA + γI
AA⁻¹ = αAA² + βAA + γA
αA³ + βA² + γA - I = 0 ... (1)
Let λ be the eigenvalue of A
Finding the characteristic equation for A,
Eigenvalues of A are 1, 2, 3
⇒ λ₁ = 1, λ₂ = 2, λ₃ = 3
λ₁ + λ₂ + λ₃ = 6
λ₁λ₂ + λ₂λ₃ + λ₃λ₁ = 11
λ₁λ₂λ₃ = 6
As the order of A is 3, the characteristic equation of A is a cubic polynomial.
A³ - (λ₁ + λ₂ + λ₃)A² + (λ₁λ₂ + λ₂λ₃ + λ₃λ₁)A - λ₁λ₂λ₃I = 0
A³ - 6A² + 11A - 6I = 0
(1/6)A³ - A² + (11/6)A - I = 0 ... (2)
Comparing (1) with (2), we get
α = 1/6, β = -1, γ = 11/6
∴ α + β + γ = 1

∴ a = 1, b = 1, c = 1

Sum = a + b + c = 3

GATE Engineering Sciences Mock Test - 4 - Question 7

A cylindrical object with a diameter of 3 m is spinning at a rate of 600 revolutions per minute. An air stream with a velocity of 100 m/s flows across the surface of the cylinder. What is the lift force per unit length of the cylinder (in kN/m)? Assume ρair = 1 kg/m³

Tangential velocity component, Ve = ωπ = 30π

Circulation, σ = 2πrVe
= 2π × 1.5 × 30π
= 888.27 m²/s

Lift force per unit length of the cylinder, L = ρuσ
= 1 × 100 × 888.27
= 88.27 kN/m

GATE Engineering Sciences Mock Test - 4 - Question 10

Temperature of air in the atmosphere is changing with T = t₀ - Kz, where z is in meters and measured from the earth’s surface upwards. If the pressure and temperature at the earth's surface are 101.325 kPa and 300 K respectively, the pressure at a height of 1 km (in bar) is ___________.
Take K = 9 × 10⁻³ °C/m.


Detailed Solution: Question 10

Given h = 1 km = 1000 m

T = 300 - Kh
T = 300 - 0.009 × 1000
T = 291 K

It is known that P / P = (T / T)g/KR

⇒ P = P × (T / T₀)(T / T)g/KR
P = 101.325 × (291 / 300)(9.81 / (0.009 × 287))
P = 90.26 kPa
P = 0.903 bar

i.e., u = x − 2y + 10 = 0
∴ x − 2y = −10 ...........(i)

and v = 2x − y − 20 = 0

Detailed Solution: Question 15

According to Impulse momentum equation:

(I) ∑Fx = mₐₓ = ṁ(ΔVₓ)
∑Fx = P₁A₁ − P₂A₂ cosθ − Fx = ṁ(V₂ cosθ − V₁)
Fx = P₁A₁ − P₂A₂ cosθ − ṁ(V₂ cosθ − V₁)

(II) ∑Fy = mₐᵧ = ṁ(ΔVᵧ)
∑Fy = 0 − P₂A₂ sinθ + Fy = ṁ(V₂ sinθ − 0)
Fy = P₂A₂ sinθ + ṁV₂ sinθ
Fy = ṁV₂ sinθ + P₂A₂ sinθ

Air is enclosed within a piston-cylinder arrangement, where the piston is initially resting on a set of stops, and a pressure of 300 kPa is necessary to move the piston. At the outset, the air has a pressure of 100 kPa and a temperature of 270 °C, occupying a volume of 0.4 m3. The work done in kJ while raising the temperature to 1200 K is _________________


Detailed Solution: Question 27

1 → 2

v = constant

P₁ = 100 kPa
T₁ = 300 K
v₁ = 0.4 m³

T₂ = (P₂ / P₁) × T₁ = (300 / 100) × 300 = 900 K

W₁₂ = 0

2 → 3

p = constant

V₂ / T₂ = V₃ / T₃

V₃ = (T₃ / T₂) × V₂ = (1200 / 900) × 0.4 = 0.533 m³

W₂₃ = P(V₃ - V₂) = 300(0.533 - 0.4) = 39.9 kJ

Total work done = W₁₂ + W₂₃ = 0 + 39.9 = 39.9 kJ
