Consider a tank which initially holds V_(0) liter of brine that contains a lb of salt. Another brine solution, containing b lb of salt per liter is poured into the tank at the rate of eL//"min" . The problem is to find the amount of salt in the tank at any time t. Let Q denote the amount of salt in the tank at any time. The time rate of change of Q, (dQ)/(dt) , equals the rate at which salt enters the tank at the rate at which salt leaves the tank. Salt enters the tank at the rate of be lb/min. To determine the rate at which salt leaves the tank, we first calculate the volume of brine in the tank at any time t, which is the initial volume V_(0) plus the volume of brine added et minus the volume of brine removed ft. Thus, the volume of brine at any time is V_(0)+et-ft The concentration of salt in the tank at any time is Q//(V_(0)+et-ft) , from which it follows that salt leaves the tank at the rate of f(Q/(V_(0)+et-ft)) lb/min. Thus, (dQ)/(dt)=be-f(Q/(V_(0)+et-ft))Q=be A tank initially holds 100 L of a brine solution containing 20 lb of salt. At t=0, fresh water is poured into the tank at the rate of 5 L/min, while the well-stirred mixture leaves the tank at the same rate. Then the amount of salt in the tank after 20 min.

Study carefully the following stages of life cycle of malarial parasite i.e., Plasmodium. Arrange these stages in the correct sequence and select the correct answer. 1. Sporozoites leave the blood stream and enter the liver cells of man. 2. Sporozoites present in the salivary glands of female Anopheles mosquito are injected into the blood stream of man. 3. The parasite reproduces asexually in RBCs, resulting in bursting of RBCs and causing the cycles of fever, relased parasites infect new RBCs. 4. The parasite reproduces asexually in liver cells, ultimately causing the rupturing of cells. 5. Two types of gametocytes i.e., microgametocytes and macrogametocytes develop in the RBCs. 6. Female Anopheleles mosquito takes up the gametocytes with blood meal of an infected person. 7. Mature infective stage of the parasite i.e., sporozoites escape from intestine and migrate to the mosquito's salivary glands. 8. Fertilisation and developmental stages of the parasite take place in mosquito's stomach.

Read the following statements and select the correct option. Statement 1 : Malarial parasite requires two hosts - humans and mosquitoes to complete its life cycle. Statement 2 : Hemozoin is a toxic substance produced by the rupturing of liver cells during malarial infection.

A beam of light is sent along the line x-y=1 , which after refracting from the x-axis enters the opposite side by turning through 30^0 towards the normal at the point of incidence on the x-axis. Then the equation of the refracted ray is (a) (2-sqrt(3))x-y=2+sqrt(3) (b) (2+sqrt(3))x-y=2+sqrt(3) (c) (2-sqrt(3))x+y=(2+sqrt(3)) (d) y=(2-sqrt(3))(x-1)

For scattering by an 'inverse square field' (such as that produced by a charged nucleus in Rutherford's model) the relation between impact parameter b and the scattering angle theta is given by b (Ze^2 cot (theta/2))/(4 pi epsi_0 ((mv^2)/(2))) a. What is the scattering angle for b =0? b. For a given impact parameter h, does the angle of deflection increase or decrease with increasing energy? c .What is the impact parameter at which the scattering angle is 90^@ for Z = 79 and initial energy of 10 MeV? d. Why is it that the mass of the nucleus does not enter the formula above but the charge does? e. For a given energy of the projectile, does the scattering angle increase or decrease with decrease in impact parameter?
