Q:

For accurate scientific work, temperatures are often measured by

A) mercury thermometers B) alcohol thermometers
C) platinum resistance thermometers D) thermoelectric thermometers
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) platinum resistance thermometers

Explanation:

The resistance of metallic conductors e.g, platinum, increases with rise of  temperature . The increase in temperature results in a decrease of current which can be recorded in a galvanometer if the conductor is included in an electrical circuit. Thus the temperature can be known; platinum resistance thermometer is used generally for accurate scientific work. When two dissimilar metals are joined at the ends, and these ends are subjected to a difference of temperature, a current flows through the metals. Greater the difference of temperature , greater the current. So the curent strength can form the basis for measuring the difference in temperature. And when one of these temperatures is known, we can calculate the other.

Q:

4 mat-weavers can weave 4 mats in 4 days. At the same rate, how many mats would be woven by 8 mat-weavers in 8 days?

A) 4 B) 8
C) 12 D) 16
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 16

Explanation:

Let the required number of bottles be x.

 

 

 

More weavers, More mats (Direct Proportion)

 

 

 

More days, More mats (Direct Proportion)

 

 

 

Wavers   4:8Days       4:8  :: 4:x

 

 

 

 4 x 4 x x = 8 x 8 x 4

 

 

 

=> x= 8*8*44*4

 

 

 

=>  x = 16.
