Answer : 1. "an alloy of Tin and Lead"
Explanation :
Answer: A) an alloy of Tin and Lead Explanation: Fuse Wire is Made of an alloy of Tin and Lead. If too high a current flows, the element rises to a higher temperature and either directly melts, or else melts a soldered joint within the fuse, opening the circuit. Thefuse element is made of an alloy of Tin and Lead to provide stable and predictable characteristics.

Answer : 2. "2k1k2/k1+k2"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 2k1k2/k1+k2 Explanation: We know that, The equivalent K = L1 + L2L1K1+L2K2 where L1 & L2 are plate1 & Plate2 thicknesses, K1 & K2 are coefficient thermal conductivity of plate1 & Plate2 respectively. But here L1 = L2 = L (say) Then K = L+L/(L/K1 + L/K2) = 2K1K2K1+K2

Answer : 1. "Weight"
Explanation :
Answer: A) Weight Explanation: An intensive property is a physical quantity whose value does not depend on the amount of the substance for which it is measured. For example, the temperature of a system in thermal equilibrium is the same as the temperature of any part of it. If the system is divided the temperature of each subsystem is identical. The same applies to the density of a homogeneous system, if the system is divided in half, the mass and the volume change in the identical ratio and the density remains unchanged. Additionally, the boiling point of a substance is another example of an intensive property. For example, the boiling point for water is 100 °C at a pressure of one atmosphere, a fact which remains true regardless of quantity.

Answer : 2. "29.39 cm"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 29.39 cm Explanation: Volume of water flowing through 1 pipe of diameter x = Volume discharged by 6 pipes of diameter 12 cms. As speed is same, area of cross sections should be same. Area of bigger pipe of diameter x = Total area of 6 smaller pipes of diameter 12 i.e πR2 = 6πR12 Here R = R and R1 = 12/2 = 6 ⇒R2 = 6×6×6 R = 14.696 => D = X = 14.696 * 2 = 29.3938 cm.
Q: A certain job was assigned to a group of women to do it in 20 days. But 12 women did not turn up for the job and the remaining did the job in 32 days. The original number of women in the group was? 1900 05b5cc6bae4d2b4197774d794

Answer : 2. "32"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 32 Explanation: Let the total women in the group be 'W' Then according to the given data, W x 20 = (W-12) x 32 => W = 32 Therefore, the total number of women in the group = 32
