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

Detailed Solution for GATE Mock Test Mechanical Engineering (ME) - 10 - 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 28

Consider the following statements:

On heating an elastomer under tensile load, its shrinkage

  1. maximizes the enthalpy

  2. maximizes the entropy

  3. minimizes the free energy

  4. avoids breaking

Which of the above statements are correct?

Detailed Solution for GATE Mock Test Mechanical Engineering (ME) - 10 - 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.

Detailed Solution for GATE Mock Test Mechanical Engineering (ME) - 10 - 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
