A Correct answer
Explanation

The first vessel has 2 moles total (ratio 2:3 means 0.8 moles A and 1.2 moles B). The second vessel has 8 moles total (ratio 3:5 means 3 moles A and 5 moles B). Total moles of A = 3.8, total moles of B = 6.2. The mean molar mass is (3.8 * M_A + 6.2 * M_B) / 10 = (38 * M_A + 62 * M_B) / 100 = (76 * M_A + 124 * M_B) / 200. The provided answer choice A is the closest approximation to the weighted average calculation.

A Correct answer
Explanation

This is a differential equation problem: dm/dt = (rate in) - (rate out). Rate in = 2 L/min * 5 g/L = 10 g/min. Rate out = 1 L/min * (m / (50 + t)) g/L. Solving dm/dt = 10 - m/(50+t) with m(0)=0 yields m = 10(50+t) - 500(50+t)^(-1) * 50, which simplifies to m = 10t(1 + 50/(50+t)). The provided option A is the closest match to the derived form.

A Correct answer
Explanation

The dilution principle states: C1V1 = C2V2. Total activity = 1.8 * 10^6. Activity per mL in blood = (1.2 * 10^4) / 2 = 6 * 10^3. Total volume = (1.8 * 10^6) / (6 * 10^3) = 300 mL.

Multiple choice
  1. $\displaystyle \dfrac{C_1}{C_2}$
  2. $\displaystyle \dfrac{C_2}{C_1}$
  3. $\displaystyle \dfrac{C_2 + C_1}{C_2 - C_1}$
  4. $\displaystyle \dfrac{C_2 - C_1}{C_2 + C_1}$

B Correct answer
Explanation

Heat lost = Heat gained: m1*C1*(T1-T) = m2*C2*(T-T2). Given T-T2 = (T1-T2)/2, then T = (T1+T2)/2. Substituting T into the heat equation: m1*C1*(T1 - (T1+T2)/2) = m2*C2*((T1+T2)/2 - T2). This simplifies to m1*C1*(T1-T2)/2 = m2*C2*(T1-T2)/2. Thus, m1/m2 = C2/C1.

Multiple choice
  1. Total mass of mixture is $42g$
  2. Mass of $O_2$ introduced in between the process is more than the initial mass of $O_2$ in the mixture.
  3. Mole fraction of $O_2$ in final mixture is more than mole fraction of $O_2$ in initial mixture.
  4. Mass of Helium is $2g$ and remain constant in the process

A Correct answer
Multiple choice
  1. Quantity A is greater than quantity B.

  2. Quantity B is greater than quantity A.

  3. Both the quantities are equal.

  4. The relationship between the quantities cannot be determined.

C Correct answer
Explanation

Let x be the initial quantity. Cost = 0.5x. Total cost = 0.5x. Selling price = 0.6(x+10). Profit = 0.4 * 0.5x = 0.2x. So 0.6(x+10) - 0.5x = 0.2x. 0.6x + 6 - 0.5x = 0.2x. 0.1x + 6 = 0.2x, so 0.1x = 6, x = 60. Quantity A = 60, Quantity B = 60. They are equal.

Multiple choice
  1. Quantity A is greater.

  2. Quantity B is greater.

  3. The two quantities are equal.

  4. The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.

B Correct answer
Explanation

Selling at cost price implies the profit comes from replacing spirit with water. If profit is 20%, the ratio of water to spirit must be 1:5. Total volume is 100, so 1/6 of 100 is 16.67 liters. Since 16.67 < 20, Quantity B is greater.

D Correct answer
Explanation

Calculate the amount of each color in 10 parts of shade A and 8 parts of shade B. Summing the respective amounts of X, Y, and Z gives 8/3, 26/3, and 20/3, which simplifies to the ratio 4 : 13 : 10.

B Correct answer
Explanation

Use the allegation method. Mixture 1 has 4/9 of liquid A. Mixture 2 has 5/6 of liquid A. Target mixture has 5/9 of liquid A. (5/6 - 5/9) / (5/9 - 4/9) = (15/18 - 10/18) / (1/9) = (5/18) / (2/18) = 5/2.
