Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
Area bounded by
y = \(x^2\) - x + 3 and y = 3
The intersection is given as \(x^2\) - x + 3 = 3
\(x^2\) - x = 0
x(x -1) = 0
The graph is sketched between x= 0 and x = 1
\(\int^{1}_{0}\)\(x^2\) - x + 3)dx - \(\int^{1}_{0}\)3dx = \(\int^{1}{0}(x^2\) - x)dx
[\(\frac{2x^3}{3} - \frac{x^2}{2}\)] = f(1) - f(0) = [\(\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{2}\)] - [0 - 0]
= \(\frac{4 - 3}{6}\) = \(\frac{1}{6}\)unit(sq)

Blue balls = 5
Red balls = 3
White balls = 2
Total = 10
P(Two blue) = 5/10 * 5/10 = 25/100
P(Two Red) = 3/10 * 3/10 = 9/100
∴P(Two blue or two red balls)
= 25/100 + 9/100

Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
the power of a lens is defined as the reciprocal of the focal length ,expressed in metre.Mathematically, the power of a lens in dioptres is given by:(1)/f(in cm).
thus for lens of power of 4.0 dioptres we have that: (1)/(f) = +4.0
f= (1)/(4.0)

The property used in the industrial preparation of nitrogen and oxygen from air is?
A
rate of diffusion
B
density
C
boiling point
D
solubility
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Fractional distillation of liquefied air, with Nitrogen distilling as a vapor at a lower boiling point of -196^\circC while O2 is left as a liquid.
In the industrial preparation of nitrogen and oxygen from air, the process of fractional distillation is used. This process separates the components of air based on their boiling points.
The boiling points of the main components of air are:
- Nitrogen (N\(_2\)): -195.8^\circC
- Oxygen (O\(_2\)): -182.96^\circC
By cooling air to extremely low temperatures, the components can be separated based on their boiling points, allowing for the production of high-purity nitrogen and oxygen.
