Elasticity, Density, Pressure & Fluids
Diagram
Solution
In the J-tube above, Y and X are on the same horizontal level and 30cm3 of air is trapped above Y when the atmospheric pressure is 75cm Hg, calculate the volume of air trapped above Y when 15cm Hg is now poured into the limb above X
Attached Figure / Diagram
A
15 cm3
B
25 cm3
C
35 cm3
D
45 cm3
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Since the temperature of the air is to remain constant, => P\(_1\)V\(_1\) = P\(_2\)V\(_2\)
∴ 75 x 30 = (75 + 15) x V\(_2\)
75 x 30 = 90 x V\(_2\)
V\(_2\) = \(\frac{75 \times 30}{90}\)
\(\frac{2250}{90}\) = 25cm\(^2\)

Migration to the city among villagers is caused by
A
attraction of the city
B
low productivity in the village
C
inadequate job opportunities in the village
D

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The passage clearly states that villagers migrate to the cities because there is little or no work in rural areas. For example:
“Their work opportunities are so limited that they cannot work their way out of their situation.”
“There is no hope for them in the rural areas and so, they drift into the big cities.”
“Rural unemployment then produces mass migration into cities.”
These statements show that lack of employment opportunities in the villages is the main reason for migration.
