Question #1 Report Error
A man walking at 5 km/h reaches his office 10 minutes late. If he walks at 6 km/h, he is 5 minutes early. Distance to office is
A. 7.5 km
B. 2.5 km
C. 5 km
D. 10 km

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Let distance d, usual time t hours. d/5 = t + 10/60, d/6 = t - 5/60. Subtract: d/5 - d/6 = (15/60) => d/30 = 0.25 => d = 7.5 km. Commonly asked.

Question #2 Report Error
An engine pumps water continuously through a hose. Water leaves the hose with a velocity 'v' and mass per unit length is 'm'. What is the power imparted to the water?
A. mv^2
B. 1/2 m^2v
C. 1/2 mv^3
D. mv^3

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Power is the rate of doing work or imparting kinetic energy (dK/dt). Mass exiting per second = m * v (mass/length * length/time). Kinetic energy imparted per second = 1/2 * (mass per second) * v^2 = 1/2 * (mv) * v^2 = 1/2 * m * v^3. This is a very common advanced mechanics question.

The coefficient of performance of a refrigerator is defined as:
A. Work input / Heat extracted
B. Heat extracted / Work input
C. Work input / Heat rejected
D. Heat rejected / Work input

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Coefficient of performance (COP) for refrigerator: COP = Q₂ / W, where Q₂ is heat extracted from cold reservoir, W is work input. By energy conservation, Q₁ = Q₂ + W (heat rejected to hot reservoir). COP > 1 typically. Option A is inverse; C and D relate to heat engine efficiency. Memory aid: 'Refrigerator COP = desired output (cooling) / work input'. This thermodynamics definition is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always distinguish refrigerator COP (cooling effect per work) from heat engine efficiency (work output per heat input).
