GATE Mock Test Mechanical Engineering (ME) - 9 - Question 6

SBI lent 1 lakh to farmer Kishan Singh at 6% per annum, at simple interest for a period of 10 years. Meanwhile, the bank offered a discount in the rate of interest, according to the Govt. policy for farmers. Thus, the rate of interest is decreased to 4% p.a. In this way, Kishan Singh had to pay a total amount 1.48 lakh. After how many years did Kishan Singh got the discount in the rate of interest?

Detailed Solution for GATE Mock Test Mechanical Engineering (ME) - 9 - Question 6
Suppose that 6% per annum be the rate of interest for x years, then the 4% per annum be the rate of interest for (10 - x) years.

Interest paid by Kishan Singh = Rs. 48,000

Now,

48 = 6x + 40 - 4x

2x = 8

x = 4 years

It means Kishan Singh availed the discount after 4 years.

option (3) is correct.

GATE Mock Test Mechanical Engineering (ME) - 9 - Question 7

In a class, some students play cricket and some play hockey. The students who play cricket is twice in number than those who play only hockey. The students who takes hockey are double in number than those who play only cricket. Consider the following statements and find correct ones:

  1. Sum total of those students who play either cricket or hockey or both is thrice of those who play both cricket and hockey.

  2. Sum total of those who play only cricket and only hockey, is twice the number of students playing both cricket and hockey.

Detailed Solution for GATE Mock Test Mechanical Engineering (ME) - 9 - Question 7
Let number of students who play cricket =x

Let number of students who play hockey = y

Let number of students who play both cricket and hockey = C

Now as per information in questions:

x = 2 (y- C) …………(i)

y = 2 (x- C) ………….(ii)

Putting value of y from equation (ii) in equation (i)

x= 2 [2 (x- C)- C] = 2 [2x - 3C]

= 4x- 6C

or ax = 2C (iii)

Now, putting value in equation (ii)

y= 2c ... (iv)

Sum total of those students who play either cricket or hockey or both;

S, = (x - C)+ (y- C)+ C = (2C- C)+ (2C- C)+ C

= C + C = 3C

Some total of those who play only cricket and only hockey

S2 = - + (y- C)= (2C- C)+ (2C- C)= C + C = 2C

GATE Mock Test Mechanical Engineering (ME) - 9 - Question 14

If a2 + b2 + c2 = 1, then ab + bc + ac lies in the interval

Detailed Solution for GATE Mock Test Mechanical Engineering (ME) - 9 - Question 14

We know (a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab + bc + ca)
Given a2 + b2 + c2 = 1
So, (a + b + c)2 = 1 + 2 (ab + bc + ca)
Since, square is always positive quantity, so
1 + 2(ab + bc + ca) ≥ 0
ab + bc + ca ≥ - 1/2

GATE Mock Test Mechanical Engineering (ME) - 9 - Question 17

For the stability of a floating body, under the influence of gravity alone, which of the following is TRUE?

Detailed Solution for GATE Mock Test Mechanical Engineering (ME) - 9 - Question 17

Concept:
The partially submerged body resembles the floating body, where the weight of the body is balanced by the buoyancy force acting in the upwards direction. The stability of the floating is governed by the metacenter of the floating body.
Metacenter is the point about which a body starts oscillating when the body is tilted by a small angle. It is the point where the line of action of buoyancy will meet the normal axis of the body when the body is given a small angular displacement.


Stable equilibrium: Metacenter is above the center of gravity of the body, then the disturbing couple is balanced by restoring the couple, the body will be in stable equilibrium.

Unstable equilibrium: Metacenter is below the center of gravity of the body, then the disturbing couple is supported by restoring the couple, the body will be in unstable equilibrium.

Neutral equilibrium: The metacenter and the center of gravity coincides at the same point, then the body is in neutral equilibrium.

GATE Mock Test Mechanical Engineering (ME) - 9 - Question 25

A body rotating at 20 rad/s is acted upon by a constant torque providing it a deceleration of 2 rad/s2. The time (in s) at which the body have same kinetic energy as the initial if the torque continues to act is


Detailed Solution for GATE Mock Test Mechanical Engineering (ME) - 9 - Question 25
First the body will come to rest due to angular deceleration.

t1 = time taken for body to come rest

0 = 20 - 2 x t1

⇒ t2 = 10s

Again the torque will increase the angular velocity in reverse direction.

t2 = time taken for angular velocity to become 20 rad/s

20 = 2 x t2

⇒t2 = 10s

Total time = t1 + t2

= 10 + 10

= 20 s
