• Rutherford conducted an experiment by bombarding a thin sheet of gold with α-particles and then studied the trajectory of these particles after their interaction with the gold foil.
• Rutherford, in his experiment, directed high energy streams of α-particles from a radioactive source at a thin sheet (100 nm thickness) of gold.
• In order to study the deflection caused to the α-particles, he placed a fluorescent zinc sulphide screen around the thin gold foil. Rutherford made certain observations that contradicted Thomson’s atomic model.
• Observations of Rutherford’s Alpha Scattering Experiment-
• The observations made by Rutherford led him to conclude that:
• A major fraction of the α-particles bombarded towards the gold sheet passed through it without any deflection, and hence most of the space in an atom is empty.
• Some of the α-particles were deflected by the gold sheet by very small angles, and hence the positive charge in an atom is not uniformly distributed. The positive charge in an atom is concentrated in a very small volume.
• Very few of the α-particles were deflected back, that is only a few α-particles had nearly 180^o angle of deflection. So the volume occupied by the positively charged particles in an atom is very small as compared to the total volume of an atom.

The correct answer is Galvanization.

Key Points

• Galvanisation is a method of protecting steel and iron from rusting by coating them with a thin layer of Zinc.
• The galvanizing process consists of three steps
• Surface preparation
• Fuxing
• Galvanizing

Additional Information

• Galvanization
• Galvanization is the process of applying a protective layer of zinc to a metal.
• It is a very common method of preventing the rusting of iron.
• This can be done by dipping the metal to be protected in hot, molten zinc or by the process of electroplating.
• The protection of iron and steel from corrosion by coating with molten zinc.
• The zinc coating protects the part's surface from the atmosphere, avoiding corrosion and weathering
• Material is loaded onto jigs before being immersed in molten zinc at about 450 degrees until the working temperature is the same as zinc.
• During this process, the molten zinc reacts to a series of zinc/iron alloys with the steel surface.
• Galvanization helps extend the life of steel parts by forming a membrane between the metal and the air, preventing the accumulation of iron oxide on the steel layer.
• Galvanization also offers superior corrosion resistance to environmentally exposed parts.

The correct answer is Combustion

• Types of Combustion
• Rapid combustion  
• When combustion occurs rapidly, it is called rapid combustion.
• Spontaneous combustion
• The types of combustion in which material suddenly bursts into flames, without the application of any apparent cause are called spontaneous combustion. Eg, the Burning of phosphorus.
• Complete combustion
• Complete combustion is the mixture of fuel with oxygen without remaining fuel over time, friction and high enough temperature to ignite all the fuel components.
• Incomplete combustion
• Incomplete combustion is typically caused by inadequate air-fuel mixing, insufficient residence time, insufficient temperature and low total excess air.
• Explosion
• When a sudden reaction takes place with the release of heat and light and the evolution of a large amount of gas takes place it is called an explosion. Eg, firecrackers.

Given:

The given number is 8232158

Concept used:

Place value is the value of the position or place of a digit in a number.

For example,

Place value of 5 in 350 represents 5 tens or 50 

Place value of 5 in 5006 represents 5 thousands or 5000.

Calculation:

In the given number there are two 2

According to the concept, we have

The place value of the first 2 in the number is 2000

The place value of the 2nd 2 in the number is 200000

So the difference between both the place value of 2 = 200000 - 2000 = 198000

∴ The required difference is 198000.

Given:

When a number is divided by 19, reminder 8 is obtained

Formula used:

Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Reminder

Calculation:

Let the number be x and the quotient be 1

According to the formula, we have

x = (19 × 1) + 8 = 27

So, 2x = 2 × 27 = 54

When we divide 54 by 4, we get 2 as a reminder

∴ The required reminder is 2.

Given:

Number 1 to 100 is given

Concept Used:

Prime Number: A prime number is a number that will not be divisible by any number except 1 and that number itself.

For Example, 5 is divisible by only 1 and 5, which the number itself. So, 5 is a prime number

On the other hand 6 is divisible by 1, 2, 3 & 6. So, 6 is not a prime number it is a composite number

Calculations:

According to the question, we have

Number between 1 to 100 having unit digit 3 is 

3, 13, 23, 33, 43, 53, 63, 73, 83 and 93

Clearly, we can see that 33, 63 and 93 is divisible by 3

So, except these three numbers all are prime numbers

3, 13, 23, 43, 53, 73 and 83 are prime numbers 

∴ Prime numbers between 1 and 100 having unit place digit 3 is 7.

No even number can be a prime number.

All even numbers are composite number.

Although 2 is an even number it is divisible by only 1 and 2 (the number itself). So, 2 consider as a prime number.

Given:

Quotient is 85

Remainder is 22

Divisor is 125

Concept used:

Dividend = Quotient × Divisor + Remainder

Calculations:

According to the question, we have

Dividend = Quotient × Divisor + Remainder

⇒ Dividend = (125 × 85) + 22

⇒ Dividend = 10,625 + 22

⇒ Dividend = 10,647

∴ The number is 10,647.

Given:

An AP is given

3 + 7 + 11 + 15 + 19 + ... upto 80 terms 

Formula used:

Sum of n^th term of an AP

S_n = (n/2){2a + (n - 1)d}

where, 

'n' is Number of terms, 'a' is First term, 'd' is Common difference

Calculations:

According to the question, we have

Sn = (n/2){2a + (n - 1)d}      ----(1) 

where, a = 3, n = 80, d = 7 - 3 = 4

Put these values in (1), we get

⇒ S80 = (80/2){2 × 3 + (80 - 1) × 4}

⇒ S80 = 40(6 + 79 × 4)

⇒ S80 = 40 × 322

⇒ S80 = 12,880

∴ The sum of 80^th terms of an AP is 12,880.

Alternate Method

n^th term = a + (n - 1)d

Here n = 80, a = 3 and d = 4

⇒ 80th term = 3 + (80 - 1)4

⇒ 80th term = 3 + 316

⇒ 80th term = 319

Now, the sum of n^th terms of an AP

⇒ S_n = (n/2) × (1st term + Last term)

⇒ S80 = (80/2) × (3 + 319)

⇒ S80 = 40 × 322

⇒ S80 = 12,880

∴ The sum of 80th terms of an AP is 12,880.

Given:

A number is given 2145

Calculations:

Let the smallest number should be added to 2145 to get a perfect cube be y

According to the question, we have

The nearest cube of the number 2145 is 2197 which is a cube of 13

So, the value of x is 

⇒ x = 2197 - 2145

⇒ x = 52

∴ The smallest number should be added to 2145 to get a perfect cube is 52.

Given:

(x)2 × (6)2 ÷ (36)2 = 49

Calculations:

According to the question, we have

(x)2 × (6)2 ÷ (36)2 = 49

⇒ x² × 36 ÷ 36² = 49

⇒ x2/36 = 49

⇒ x2 = 49 × 36

⇒ x2 = (7 × 7) × (6 × 6)

⇒ x = √(7 × 7) × (6 × 6)

⇒ x = 7 × 6

⇒ x = 42

∴ The value of x is 42.

Given:

Cost price = Rs. 25,000

Selling price = Rs. 26,500

Formula used:

P% = {(SP - CP)/CP} × 100

where, 

P% is Profit percentage, CP is Cost price and SP is Selling price

Calculations:

According to the question, we have

P% = {(SP - CP)/CP} × 100

⇒ P% = {(26,500 - 25,000)/25,000} × 100

⇒ P% = (1,500/25,000) × 100

⇒ P% = 150/25

⇒ P% = 6%

∴ The profit percentage is 6%.

Shortcut Trick

Use the direct percentage ratio: Selling Price₁ / (100 − Loss%) = Selling Price₂ / (100 + Profit%)

Given Selling Price₁ = ₹56 at 30% loss (represents 70% of CP).

We need Selling Price₂ for a 20% profit (represents 120% of CP).

⇒ 56 / 70 = Selling Price₂ / 120

⇒ Selling Price₂ = (56 / 70) × 120 = 0.8 × 120 = 96

∴ The correct answer is ₹96.

Alternate Method

Given: Initial Selling Price (SP₁) = ₹56, Loss Percentage = 30%, Target Profit Percentage = 20%.

Formula Used: Cost Price (CP) = SP × 100 / (100 − Loss%) | SP = CP × (100 + Profit%) / 100

⇒ Cost Price (CP) = (56 × 100) / (100 − 30)

⇒ Cost Price (CP) = (56 × 100) / 70 = 8 × 10 = ₹80

⇒ New Selling Price (SP₂) = 80 × (100 + 20) / 100

⇒ New Selling Price (SP₂) = 80 × 120 / 100 = 8 × 12 = ₹96

∴ The correct answer is ₹96.

Additional Information

Relationship between CP and SP

Selling Price is always calculated on the base of Cost Price. SP = CP × (100 ± P or L%)/100.

Profit and Loss Percentage

Profit % = (SP − CP)/CP × 100 and Loss % = (CP − SP)/CP × 100. Both are calculated relative to the Cost Price.

Marked Price and Discount

Discount is always offered on the Marked Price (MP). SP = MP × (100 − Discount%)/100.
