When a program forks and the child finishes before the parent, the kernel still keeps some of its information about the child in case the parent might need it – for example, the parent may need to check the child’s exit status. To be able to get this information, the parent calls `wait()’; In the interval between the child terminating and the parent calling `wait()’, the child is said to be a `zombie’ (If you do `ps’, the child will have a `Z’ in its status field to indicate this.)

The letter A has a vertical axis of symmetry.

The letter C has a horizontal axis of symmetry.

The letter O has more than one axis of symmetry, including vertical axis and horizontal axis.

The main group number for an element can be found from its column on the periodic table. For example, carbon is in group 4 and has 4 valence electrons. Oxygen is in group 6 and has 6 valence electrons.

Energy is measured in units called Joules.

Joule is unit of work or energy in the International System of Units (SI) which is equal to the work done by a force of one newton acting through one metre.

1 Joule  =  10⁷ ergs or 0.7377 foot-pounds.

Vitamins are essential nutrients found in foods. They perform specific and vital functions in a variety of body systems, and are crucial for maintaining optimal health.

The two different types of vitamins are fat-soluble vitamins and water-soluble vitamins.

Fat-soluble vitamins :

 Vitamins A, D, E and K — dissolve in fat before they are absorbed in the bloodstream to carry out their functions. Excesses of these vitamins are stored in the liver, and are not needed every day in the diet.

Water-soluble vitamins :

Vitamins dissolve in water and are not stored by the body. Since they are eliminated in urine, we require a continuous daily supply in our diet. The water-soluble vitamins include the vitamin B-complex group and vitamin C.

Water-soluble vitamins are easily destroyed or washed out during food storage or preparation.

Number = quotient x divisor + remainder;
so, here
number = 138 k + 26
=> (23 x 6k) + (23+3)
=> 23(6k+1)+3
so, remainder is 3.

Answer 1)  

1/3 x (54 x 150 + 60 x 300 + 36 x 450)

= 1/3 x 42300

= 14100.

Answer 2)

Required ratio of chairs = 64 x 450 + 56 x 50036 x 450 + 44 x 500

= 56800/38200

= 284/191.

Answer 3)

Required number of chairs =  35 x 12100 x 50000
= 3600.

Electronegativity refers to the ability of an atom to attract shared electrons in a covalent bond. The higher the value of the electronegativity, the more strongly that element attracts the shared electrons.

Electronegativity increases from bottom to top in groups, and increases from left to right across periods. Thus, fluorine is the most electronegative element and lithium is the least.
