GATE Mock Test Mechanical Engineering (ME) - 10 - Question 1

Fill in the blank with the correct word.

Since she believed him to be both candid and trustworthy, she refused to consider the possibility that his statement had been

Detailed Solution: Question 1

Because of the use of the conjunction 'since', meaning 'because', the second part of the sentence should corroborate what is stated in the first part. If she had believed that the person was candid (meaning frank) and trustworthy. She would obviously not have considered him to be insincere.

GATE Mock Test Mechanical Engineering (ME) - 10 - Question 2

There are 60 students in a class. The students are divided into three groups A, B and C of 15, 20 and 25 students, respectively. The groups A and C are combined to form group D. What is the average weight of the students in group D?

Detailed Solution: Question 2

There is no indication of weights of the students in the question. Therefore, it is not possible to find the relation between the weights of students in groups A, B, C, and D.

GATE Mock Test Mechanical Engineering (ME) - 10 - Question 3

In a press meet on the recent scam, the minister said, "The buck stops here". What did the minister convey by the statement?

Detailed Solution: Question 4

GATE Mock Test Mechanical Engineering (ME) - 10 - Question 5

If 'DISTEMPER' is coded as 54.5 and 'WALLS' as 33.5 how will you code 'PLASTER' using the same coding scheme?

Detailed Solution: Question 5

Clearly, in the given code, A =1, B = 2, C = 3

DISTEMPER =4+9+19+20+5+13+16+5+18 = 109/2T= 54.5

WALLS = 23 + 1 + 12 + 12 + 19 = 67/2 = 33.5

:. PLASTER = 16 + 12 + 1 + 19 + 20 + 5 + 18 = 91/2= 45.5

GATE Mock Test Mechanical Engineering (ME) - 10 - Question 6

A man starts at a certain point, walks one km east, then two km north, one km east, one km north, one km east and finally one km north to arrive at the destination. What is the shortest distance (in km) from the starting point to the destination?

Detailed Solution: Question 6

Let us assume that man starts from point O and reaches his destination at point A.

The shortest distance between O and his destination is OA = = 5 km

GATE Mock Test Mechanical Engineering (ME) - 10 - Question 7

A person travels 340 km in 8 h. The first part of the journey, he travels by car at the speed of 50 km/h and in the second part of the journey he travels by train at the speed of 38 km/h. How many km did he travel by train?

Detailed Solution: Question 7

Average speed of the journey = 340/8 km/h

By the rule of Allegation :

Time spent in car : Time spent in train = 9/2 : 15/2 = 3 : 5

Time spent in train = 5/8 x 8 = 5 h

Distance travelled by train = 38 x 5 = 190 km

GATE Mock Test Mechanical Engineering (ME) - 10 - Question 8

Directions: Voting is the privilege for which wars have been fought, protests have been organized, and editorials have been written. "No taxation without representation," was a battle cry of he American Revolution. Women struggled for suffrage, as did many minorities. Eighteen year olds clamored for the right to vote, saying that if they were old enough to go to war, they should be allowed to vote. Yet Americans have a deplorable voting history, and many will tell you they have never voted.

What is the meaning of the word 'suffrage' as used in the passage?

Detailed Solution: Question 8

Refer to the context, 'Voting is the privilege for which wars have been fought, protests have been organized, and editorials have been written' and 'Women struggled for suffrage ...', which means 'suffrage' refers to 'the right to vote in elections'.

GATE Mock Test Mechanical Engineering (ME) - 10 - Question 9

In a class, 40% of the students enrolled for Math and 70% enrolled for Economics. If 15% of the students enrolled for both Math and Economics, what % of the students of the class did not enroll for either of the two subjects?

Detailed Solution: Question 9

We know that (A U B) = A + B -(A n B), where (A U B) represents the set of people who have enrolled for at least one of the two subjects Math or Economics and (A n B) represents the set of people who have enrolled for both the subjects Math and Economics. (AU B)=A+B- (AnB)

U = 40 + 70 - 15 = 95%

That is 95% of the students have enrolled for at least one of the two subjects Math or Economics.

Therefore, the balance (100 — 95)% = 5% of the students have not enrolled for either of the two subjects.

GATE Mock Test Mechanical Engineering (ME) - 10 - Question 10

A teacher gave a sum to his class to find the average of 'n' number wiz 1, 2, 3, ... n. But when the teacher checked the solution, he found that during calculation, a student just missed a number for addition and thus his average of 'n' numbers was 15. The least value of n is

Detailed Solution: Question 10

Let the missing number be k.

The sum of series 1, 2, 3, …..n is n(n+1)/2

So, according to problem statement

n2 + n – 2k = 30n

n2 – 29n = 2k

n (n – 29) = 2k

So, at n ≤ 29, the above expression is invalid. Because at n ≤ 29, the value of k become either zero or negative.

So, least value of n is 30.

At n = 30, we have

30(30 – 29) = 2k

k = 15

GATE Mock Test Mechanical Engineering (ME) - 10 - Question 13

During heat treatment of steel, the hardness of various structures in increasing order is

Detailed Solution: Question 13

Steel can be cooled from the high temperature region at a rate so high that the austenite does not have sufficient time to decompose into sorbite or troostite.
In this case, austenite is transformed into martensite. Martensite is ferromagnetic, very hard and brittle.

So, the hardness of various structures in increasing order is:
Spheroidite  Coarse pearlite  Fine pearlite  Martensite

    Detailed Solution: Question 26

    Contour interpolation is an operation which first rasterizes contour lines of a segment map with a value domain, and then calculates values for pixels that are not covered by segments by means of a linear interpolation. Furthermore, on the command line, this operation can also use an input raster map.

    The primary function of point to point path control system, also referred to as positioning system, is to move a cutting tool form one point location to another predefined point on the worktable. It is used to perform the drilling, boring, punching operations, etc. This system requires the operator to control the speeds of the machine tool. It is the cheapest tool control system as compared to continuous path control system.

    GATE Mock Test Mechanical Engineering (ME) - 10 - Question 27

    GATE Mock Test Mechanical Engineering (ME) - 10 - Question 28

    Consider the following statements:

    On heating an elastomer under tensile load, its shrinkage

    maximizes the enthalpy

  • maximizes the entropy

  • minimizes the free energy

  • avoids breaking

    Which of the above statements are correct?

    Detailed Solution: Question 28

    In heating an elastomer under tensile load, entropy gets decreased because of only one possible microstate. But by shrinkage, entropy gets increased because of many possible microstates.

    By Helmholtz free energy equation, free energy is given by:

    A = U – TS, where U = internal energy, T = temperature, S = entropy

    So, by increase in entropy, free energy gets reduced.

    So, statements 2 and 3 are true.

    GATE Mock Test Mechanical Engineering (ME) - 10 - Question 30

    Match the terms used in connection with heat-treatment of steel with the micro structural/physical characteristics:

    Detailed Solution: Question 30

    Pearlite is a two-phased, lamellar (or layered) structure composed of alternating layers of ferrite (87.5 wt%) and cementite (12.5 wt%) that occurs in some steels and cast irons

    Martensite is so hard and brittle because:

    1) there are relatively few operable slip systems for the body-centered tetragonal crystal structure, and

    2) virtually all of the carbon is in solid solution, which produces a solid-solution hardening effect.

    Austenite in iron-carbon alloys is generally only evident above 723°C, and below 1500°C, depending on carbon content.

    Terms Characteristics

    a. Pearlite 3. Alternate layers of Cementite and Ferrite

    b. Martensite 1. Extremely hard and brittle phase

    c. Austenite 4. Can exist only above 723°C3.

    d. Eutectoid 5. Pertaining to state of equilibrium between three solid phases
