Pipes and Cistern

Concept of Pipes and Cistern Welcome students to my new blog in aptitude series. In this blog we are going to clear the concept of pipes and cistern. This topic is related to work and wages , I hope you can solve problems on it. Let's revise it. Lets revise.. There are two kind of pipes, inlet pipe and outlet pipe. Inlet pipe is the pipe that fills the tank or any reservoir and Outlet pipe is the pipe that empties the tank. Mathematically: If a pipe fills a tank in 'x' hours, then in one hour it will fill 1/x portion of tank. For e.g, if a pipe takes 4 hours to completely fill a tank of 12 liters, then in 1 hour it will fill 1/4 part of tank, means 3 liters of tank. Similarly, If a pipe empties a tank in 'x' hours, then in one hour it will empty 1/x portion of tank. For e.g, if a pipe takes 4 hours to completely empty a tank of 12 liters, then in 1 hour it will empty 1/4 part of tank, means 3 liters of tank. If we have inlet and outlet pipes both opene

Work and Wages

Concept Of Work and Wages Welcome students to my new blog in aptitude series. In this blog we are going to clear the concept of work and wages. Work and wages is the widely asked topic in every exam from past few years. Let's revise it. What is Work? Work is a certain set of tasks or activities to achieve result. We can write work in mathematics as: If any person complete his/her work in N days, then total amount of work done in 1 day is given by = 1/N. Similarly, if another person complete work in M days, then also total work done in 1 day is given by = 1/M. From above two situations we can conclude that those two persons complete (1/N + 1/M) amount of work in 1 day. In question if their is comparison of work and efficiency then use formula: M1*D1*H1*E1 / W1 = M2*D2*H2*E2 / W2 Where, M = Number of workers D = Number of days H = Number of working hours in a day E = Efficiency of workers W = Units of work Work done is directly proportional to the time and efficien

LCM and HCF

What is LCM and HCF ? Hello students, welcome to my next article on Aptitude series. In this article we are going to learn about how to find LCM and HCF of any two numbers with simple trick. Lets firstly know about what is LCM and HCF. LCM The full form of LCM is Lowest Common Multiple or Lowest Common Divisor. LCM is the value which is divisible by the two given numbers. LCM is the method to find smallest common multiple between given two or more numbers. How find LCM? When we multiply any two numbers then we get value known as Multiple. For e.g, 4 is multiple of 2. LCM is calculated by simple formula. Let a & b two integers. Then formula is: LCM (a,b) = (a x b)/GCD (a,b) In case of fractional numbers the LCM is calculated by formula: LCM (a / b) = LCM (a) / LCM (b). LCM by Prime Factorisation Method Prime factorial method is a very simple method to find LCM of any two or more numbers. Suppose there are three numbers 18, 12, 24. Lets write prime factors of all this numbers ind

Numbers

Types of Numbers Hello students, welcome to my new series of Aptitude , in this blog we are going to learn about numbers. Numbers is the very basic thing in Aptitude learning. Numbers starts from Zero "0". Zero was firstly invented by Aryabhata. Lets learn more about numbers. Types of numbers.. Integers: All the numbers whose fractional part is zero are known as Integers. For e.g. -6, -4, 0, 1, 99, 1000, etc. Natural Numbers: All the numbers whose fractional part is zero and also they are greater than zero are termed as natural numbers. For e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4,..., upto n. Whole Numbers: All the numbers whose fractional part is zero, including zero are termed as natural numbers. For e.g. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4,..., upto n. Prime Numbers: All the numbers having only two factors, the number itself and 1, are termed as prime numbers. For e.g. 2, 3, 19, 7, etc. 1 is not prime, nor composite number. 2 is the smallest even prime number. There are total 25 prime numbers upto 100.

Explain Factors affecting Ionization Energy

Ionization Energy Hello students, I hope you may know the concept of Ionization energy. In 10th standerd we have leart about Ion and Different types of energies associated with it. Lets first talk about what is Ionization Energy? The energy required to remove valence electron form an isolated state or neutral gaseous atom is reffered as Ionization Energy. The ionization energy associated with removal of the first (most loosely held) electron. Ionization is an endothermic process which means that, it is positive for neutral atoms. There are four major factors which affects on Ionization energy are as follows: Atomic Size. Nuclear Charge. Screening Effect. Type of electron removed. Lets look towards how above factors affect ionization energy. Atomic size Atomic size is a distance between nucleus and the outermost shell of an atom. Atomic size depends upon atomic number. Ionization energy is inverselt proportional to atomic size. As atomic size increases nuclear charge

How to find Effective Nuclear Charge (ENC)?

Effective Nuclear Charge According to Wikipedia , In atomic physics, the effective nuclear charge is the actual amount of positive (nuclear) charge experienced by an electron in a multi-electron atom. The symbol of effective nuclear charge is Zeff or Z*. ENC is the net positive charge experienced by an electron in a multi-electron atom. The effective nuclear charge on an atom is given by equation- Zeff = Z – S Where, Z = The number of protons in the nucleus (atomic number). S = The number of electrons between the nucleus and the electron in question (the number of nonvalence electrons). Question: Consider a neutral neon atom (Ne), a sodium cation (Na+), and a fluorine anion (F–). What is the effective nuclear charge for each? Solution: Start by figuring out the number of nonvalence electrons, which can be determined from the electron configuration. Ne has 10 electrons. The electron configuration is 1s22s2 2p6. The valence shell is shell 2 and contains 8 valence electrons

How to bisect an angle of 63 degree with compass?

Bisection of an angle Bisection of an angle is a very basic and important thing in engineering drawing and math. There are so many ways to bisect an angle, but in this post we will discuss about the method for bisecting an angle with help of a compass. Question: Bisect an angle of 63 degree. Solution: Procedure: Draw an angle of 63 degree with the help of a protractor. Name the angle as QOP. Take a compass with any random radius (Make sure that the radius must be less than the length of the lines OQ and OP.) and draw two arcs from the point O on the lines OQ and OP as shown in the figure. From those two arcs with the same radius, draw two arcs somewhere in the middle of the angle. On which point those two arcs intersects, draw a line OR as shown in the image. This OR line will be the bisecting line of the angle of 63 degree and the angle ROP will be of 31.5 degree. Practice questions on angle bisection: Bisect angle of 50 degree. Bisect angle of 90 degree
