411.

A solid weighs 4.8g in air, 2.8g in water and 3.2g in Kerosine. The ratio of density of the solid to that of the kerosine is 

A.

2

B.

32

C.

23

D.

3

Correct answer is D

Relative density of solid

weight of solidweight of an equal volume of water

= 4.84.82.8 

= 4.82 = 2.4

Relative density of liquid 

=   Weight  of liquid kerosineWeight of an equal volume of water 

= 4.83.24.82.8  = 1.62 = 0.8

= Ratio of relative density of solidRelative density of Kerosine 

= density of soliddensity of Kerosine

= 2.40.8 

= 3

A transformer has 300 turns of wire in the primary coil and 30 turns in the secondary coil. If the input voltage is 100 volts, the output voltage is

A.

5 volts

B.

10 volts

C.

15 volts

D.

20 volts

Correct answer is B

For transformation, Es = e.m.f. of secondary coil 

Ep = Np 

Np = e.m.f. of secondary coil 

Ns = number of turns in secondary coil 

Ns = number of turns in primary coil 

30300 = x100 = 300 

X = 3000 

X = 10 volts
