Solution
The girls were apparently attracted to Zacharia by
A
wealth
B
the life of towns
C
the appearance of the young men
D
the fact that the young men spoke strange dialects
E
food
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option E
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The passage mentions that Zacharia is a cook, and the speaker speculates that perhaps the girls are attracted to him because they know he can provide them with food. This is supported by the mention of "a bit of bread or a pot of jam" in relation to Zacharia's cooking skills.

D
vertical
E

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
The mirror's 45^\circ tilt makes the horizontal rod PQ appear vertical. This occurs because the tilt rotates the image by 90^\circ for the observer, a common effect in optics with 45^\circ mirrors.

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
For water to begin flowing from the tank through an inverted U-tube with an open end at point P, the U-tube must be completely filled with water, and the pressure at point O inside the tube should be lower than the water level W in the tank.

Solution
Four resistors R\(_1\),R\(_2\),R\(_3\), and R\(_4\) are connected in series as shown above, V\(_1\),V\(_2\),V\(_3\) are voltmeters connected as indicated above. Which of the following relations is correct??

A
V1 = V3 =V2/2
B
V1 = 2V2 = V3
C
V1=1/2V3 =V3
D
V2 - V1 = V3
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
From the diagram: The four resistors (\(R_1, R_2, R_3, R_4\)) are in series, so the same current (I) flows through all of them.
The voltmeters are connected as follows:
Voltmeter
Measures the voltage across
\(V_1\)
\(R_1\)
\(V_2\)
\(R_2 + R_3\)
\(V_3\)
\(R_4\)
Using Ohm’s Law:
V = IR
So, \(V_1 = IR_1\)
\(V_2 = I(R_2 + R_3)\)
\(V_3 = IR_4\)
In this type of question, the resistors are usually assumed equal:
\(R_1 = R_2 = R_3 = R_4\) = R
Calculate the voltages
\(V_1\) = IR
\(V_2\) = I(R + R) = 2IR
\(V_3\) = IR
Compare them
\(V_1 = V_3\)
and \(V_2 = 2V_1\)
]Therefore: \(V_1 = V_3 = \frac{V_2}{2}\)
