An adiabatic process is a process in which there is no transfer of heat between the system and surroundings. Here, the wall separating the system and the surroundings is called the adiabatic wall. The adiabatic process can be either reversible or irreversible.

The adiabatic lapse rate is the rate at which the temperature of an air parcel changes in response to the compression or expansion associated with elevation change, under the assumption that the process is adiabatic, i.e., no heat exchange occurs between the given air parcel and its surroundings.

Adiabatic lapse rate: Change of temperature with a change in altitude of an air parcel without gaining or losing any heat to the environment surrounding the parcel. Adiabatic processes are characterized by an increase in entropy, or degree of disorder, if they are irreversible and by no change in entropy if they are reversible. Adiabatic processes cannot decrease entropy.

Both the Statements are not correct. The phenomenon of a “blue moon” and a “super moon” 
was witnessed on 30 August 2023.

What is a Supermoon?

• A super moon happens when the moon is passing through or is close to its perigee, and is also  a full moon.
• A full moon occurs when the moon is directly opposite the sun (as seen from earth), and  therefore, has its entire day side lit up. 

What is a blue moon?

• A blue moon is the situation when a full moon is seen twice in a single month. 
• Because the new moon to new moon cycle lasts 29.5 days, a time comes when the full moon  occurs at the beginning of a month, and there are days left still for another full cycle to be  completed. 
• For example if the full moon is seen on the 1st or 2nd, there will be a second full moon on the  30th or 31st and this happens every two or three years.

Thousands of flights, within, into or out of the United States were delayed or cancelled due to a technical glitch.

1st term = 120
2nd term = 120-21 = 99
3rd term = 99-19 = 80
4th term = 80 - 17 = 63
5th term = 63 - 15 = 48

⇒ For every next term , preious term is substracteed in the order: -21, -19, -17, -15, -13,.....

So, missing term = 48 - 13 = 35

Efficiency of A = 100 / 12 = 8.33%
Efficiency of B = 100 / 15 = 6.66%
Combined efficiency of A and B = 8.33 + 6.66 = 15%
Number of days taken by A and B, when working together = 100 / 15 = 
Note : Efficiency x Time period = Fixed amount of work
Also, in terms of percentage total work to be done is considered as 100% (in fraction it is 1), unless otherwise stated.
Alternatively : It can be done through unitary method, also.

Let their investments be Rs. x for 14 months, Rs. y for 8 months and Rs. z for 7 months respectively.
Then, 14x : 8y : 7z = 5 : 7 : 8.
Now,

(x+40/s) + 5/4 = 40/s + 5x/4s — — — 1
(x+40/s) + 1 = 80/s + 5(x-40)/4s — — — 2
s = 40
