Q. 1 Green sand mould indicates that

GATE ME 2011 (A) polymeric mould has been cured (B) mould has been totally dried
ONE MARK
(C) mould is green in color (D) mould contains moisture
Sol. 1 Option (D) is correct.
A green sand mould is composed of a mixture of sand (silica sand, SiO 2 ), clay
(which acts as binder) and water.
The word green is associated with the condition of wetness or freshness and
because the mould is left in the damp condition, hence the name “ green sand
mould”.

In transition fit, the tolerance zones of holes and shaft overlap.
Upper limit of hole = 9 + 0.015 = 9.015 mm
Lower limit of hole = 9 + 0.000 = 9.000 mm
Upper limit of shaft = 9 + 0.010 = 9.010 mm

Q. 8 The maximum possible draft in cold rolling of sheet increases with the
GATE ME 2011 (A) increase in coefficient of friction (B) decrease in coefficient of friction
ONE MARK
(C) decrease in roll radius (D) increase in roll velocity

The main objective in rolling is to decrease the thickness of the metal.
The relation for the rolling is given by
F = mPr
Where ; F = tangential frictional force
m = Coefficient of friction
Pr = Normal force between the roll and work piece
m
Now, from the increase in m, the draft in cold rolling of sheet increases.

(A) The outer radius of the pipe is equal to the critical radius.
(B) The outer radius of the pipe is less than the critical radius.
(C) Adding the insulation will reduce the heat loss.
(D) Adding the insulation will increases the heat loss.

Hence, Critical radius of insulation for the pipe is given by,

rc < r0 or r0 > rc ...(i)
So, from equation (i) option a & b is incorrect. The critical radius is less than the

Given : a = 50 mm , V = a3 = (50) 3 = 125000 mm3
Firstly side undergoes volumetric solidification shrinkage of 4%.
So, Volume after shrinkage,

After this, side undergoes a volumetric solid contraction of 6%.

A transporter receives the same number of orders each day. Currently, he has
some pending orders (backlog) to be shipped. If he uses 7 trucks, then at the end
TWO MARK
il
of the 4th day he can clear all the orders. Alternatively, if he uses only 3 trucks,
iv
then all the orders are cleared at the end of the 10th day. What is the minimum
number of trucks required so that there will be no pending order at the end of
.C
the 5th day ?
(A) 4 (B) 5
(C) 6
w (D) 7
Sol. 61

w
Let ‘x ’ be the number of orders each day and y be the backlogs.
So, From the given conditions
4x + y = 4 # 7 = 28
and 10x + y = 3 # 10 = 30
After solving these two equations, we get
x = 1, y = 80
3 3
Now determine the number of trucks, so that no pending order will be left end of
the 5th day.
5x + y = 5n
Where n = Number of trucks
5 # 1 + 80 85
n = 3 3 = 3 = 5.56
5 5
Hence number of trucks have to be natural number,
n =6
Q. 62 P , Q , R and S are four types of dangerous microbes recently found in a human

the growth of a single microbe surviving human immunity system within 24 hours
of entering the body. The danger to human beings varies proportionately with the
toxicity, potency and growth attributed to a microbe shown in the figure below :

Thus DS is maximum and it is most dangerous among them and it is targeted in
first attempt.
Q. 63 A container originally contains 10 litres of pure spirit. From this container 1 litre
GATE ME 2011 of spirit is replaced with 1 litre of water. Subsequently, 1 litre of the mixture is

again replaced with 1 litre of water and this processes is repeated one more time.
How much spirit is now left in the container ?
(A) 7.58 litres (B) 7.84 litres
(C) 7 litres (D) 7.29 litres
We know
Quantity of spirit left after n th operation = a # b a - b l
n
Where a = initial quantity of pure spirit

and b = quantity taken out and replaced every time
Now after three ^n = 3h operations,
Left quantity of spirit after 3 rd operation
