Answer : 1. "Induce high voltage"
Explanation :
Answer: A) Induce high voltage Explanation: When the switch is ON, in a tube light choke is nothing but the coil/ballast ( inductor) which is used to induce the high voltage across it. as we know that inductor has property to induce high voltage for the brief period of time, this high voltage is required to ionize the gases in the starter. Then gas inside the starter gets ionized due to this full voltage and heats the bimetallic strip that is caused to be bent to connect to the fixed contact. Current starts flowing through the starter. Although the ionization potential of the neon is the little bit more than that of the argon but still due to small electrode gap high voltage gradient is appeared in the neon bulb and hence glow discharge is started first in a starter. As voltage gets reduced due to the current causes a voltage drop across the inductor, the strip cools and breaks away from the fixed contact. At that moment a large L di/dt voltage surge comes across the inductor at the time of breaking. This high valued surge comes across the tube light electrodes and strikes penning mixture (mixture argon gas and mercury vapor). Gas discharge process continues and current gets the path to flow through the tube light gas only due to low resistance as compared to the resistance of starter.
Q: In a party there are male and female members. If 15 female quit then the number of females will become double the number of males. If 45 males quit no. of female becomes five times the number of males. Find the number of females ? 2273 05b5cc741e4d2b4197774f9ef

Answer : 1. "175"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 175 Explanation: Let the number of males be 'M'Let the number of females be 'F'From the given conditions,(F-15)=2M.....(i)F=5(M-45).....(ii)By solving the equations (1) & (2) we get M = 80 Then substitute M = 80 in (1)F = 2M + 15F = 2 x 80 + 15=> F = 175Therefore, number of males = 80 and females = 175 in the party.

Answer : 2. "Oxygen"
Explanation :
Answer: B) Oxygen Explanation: Rust forms when oxygen reacts with chemicals in rocks, and that is often the case with many other elements in general. Like a copper nail being exposed to the air will rust.

Answer : 1. "6 months"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 6 months Explanation: 6 months after graduating or quitting school when you have to start paying back the loans. ┬а A grace period is one term thatтАЩs provided for student loans that allow you to delay payments up to a certain length of time, without penalty. During a grace period no late charges would apply, and the loan would not risk falling into default for missed payments. The grace period allows you time to find financial stability prior to having to make payments on your student loans. ┬а Many students use student loans to help pay for their college expenses, including tuition, books, room and board, and other living expenses. Students are expected to repay these loans when they graduate.

Answer : 3. "24/625"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 24/625 Explanation: Total no of ways = (14 тАУ 1)! = 13! Number of favorable ways = (12 тАУ 1)! = 11! ┬а So, required probability = 11!├Ч3!13!┬а=┬а39916800├Ч66227020800 = 24625
