Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
A patent is the right granted by government to an inventor to prevent others from commercial use of his invention. When patents are granted for biological entities and for products derived from them, these patents are called biopatents. Primary industrialised countries, like U.S.A Japan and members of European Union, are awarding biopatents.

On fusion of a mixture of Na_2CO_3 and CaCO_3 with silica at 1500^@C , a liquid consisting of silicates of sodium and calcium is formed. On cooling . Liquid become viscous and eventually ceases to flow . It becomes solid and is known as glass. By varying the proportions of the three basic ingredients and by adding other substances, the properties of glass can be altered, Glass can be represented as R_2 O. MO.6SiO_2 , where R= Na or K, M = CaBa, Zn or PbSiO_2 may be replaced by Al_2 O_3 , B_2 O_3 or P_2 O_5 . Coloured glasses are obtained by adding certain metallic oxides or salts in the fused mass, Glass is attached by HF and this property is used to make marking on the glass , This is known as etching . The glass on rapid cooling becomes brittle and fragile . The articles of glass are cooled neither slowly nor very rapidly . The process of gradual cooling of glass is called annealing . Glass is .

Mr. A writes an article. The article originally is error free. Each day Mr. B introduces one new error into the article. At the end of the day, Mr. A checks the article and has (2)/(3) chance of catching each individual error still in the article. After 3 days, the probability that the article is error free can be expressed as (p)/(q) where p and q are relatively prime positive integers. Let lambda=q-p , then find the sum of the digits of lambda .

A small manufacturer has employed 5 skilled men and 10 semi - skilled men and makes an article in two qualities-deluxe model and an ordinary model. The making of a deluxe model requires 2 hrs work by a skilled man and 2 hrs work by a semi skilled man. The ordinary model requires 1 hr by a skilled man and 3 hrs by a semi skilled man. By union rules, no man may work more than 8 hrs per day. The manufacture's clear profit on deluxe model is Rs.15 and an ordinary model is Rs. 10. How many of each type should be made in order to maximize his total daily profit.
