The ratio of the photons converted to signal generating electrons to the total number of photons arriving is called as? Correct Answer Quantum efficiency

Only a certain number of photons arriving at the detector are converted to signal generating electrons. The quantum efficiency of the detector is defined as the ratio of the photons converted to signal generating electrons to the total number of photons arriving.

Each of the question below consists of a question and three statements number I, II and III given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statement are sufficient to answer the question. Two person X and Y together can make 25% of total number of bricks in 4.8 days. Another person Z can make 50 bricks in a day. What is the time taken by person X and Z together to make the total number of bricks? I. Dimensions of a brick is (3cm × 4cm × 5cm) while the dimension of a cuboids when all the bricks are put together is (72cm × 80cm × 50cm) and ratio of number of days taken by X and Y alone to make the total number of bricks is 3 : 2. II. The total number of bricks is 4800 and person Y can make 150 bricks in day. III. Total volume of all the bricks together is 1.008m3 and dimension of a bricks is (5cm × 6cm × 7cm) and time taken by Z to make total number of bricks is 200 % more than the total time taken by person Y to make total number of bricks.

Consider the following statements regarding modulation : 1. The communication systems, where a weak signal is transmitted by the use of a modulation is essential in carrier signal. 2. When the frequency of the high frequency signal is varied in accordance with the intensity of the low-frequency weak signal, the modulation is said to be frequency modulation. 3. The process of recovering original baseband signal from the modulated signal is called phase modulation. Which of the above statements are correct ? 
Consider the following statements with respect to synchronous machines. State whether these statements are true or false. (a) Armature reaction is demagnetising when a generating machine supplies zero power factor lagging current. (b) Armature reaction is magnetising when a generating machine supplies zero power factor leading current. (c) Armature reaction is mostly cross-magnetising, though it has a small demagnetising component, when a generating machine supplies unity power factor current.
Consider the following solution to the producer-consumer synchronization problem. The shared buffer size is ?. Three semaphores empty, full and mutex are defined with respective initial values of 0, ? and 1. Semaphore empty denotes the number of available slots in the buffer, for the consumer to read from. Semaphore denotes the number of available slots in the buffer, for the producer to write to. The placeholder variables, denoted by P, Q, R, and S, in the code below can be assigned either empty or full. The valid semaphore operations are: wait ( ) and signal ( ). Producer: Consumer: do {         wait (P) ;         wait (mutex) ;         //Add item to buffer         signal (mutex) ;         signal (Q) ; } while (1) ; do {          wait (R) ;          wait (mutex) ;          //Consume item from buffer          signal (mutex) ;          signal (S) ; } while (1) ;   Which one of the following assignments to P, Q, R and S will yield the correct solution?
Three companies L, M, and N participated in campus recruitment in college Z. All three companies selected an equal number of candidates. Out of the total candidates selected, 60 were selected by both L and M. The number of candidates selected by both M and N was 68 less than twice the number of candidates selected by both L and M. There were 28 candidates who got selected by each L, M and N companies. This number was 50% less than the number of candidates selected by both L and N. The total number of candidates selected by both L and N was 92% less than a total number of candidates selected. The total number of students that got placed in exactly one company was what percent more than the ones that got placed in exactly two companies?

Given below are three quantities named A, B and C. Based on the given information, determine the relation among the three quantities. Total number of pupils in three classes of a school is 1288. The ratio of children in three classes X, Y, Z is 39 : 64 : 58. In class X number of boys are 26 less than number of girls. Number of boys in class Y is 67.83% more than the number of boys in class X. And, girls in class Z are 25.36% less than the number of girls in class Y. (In calculating number of boys and girls, the decimal value must be rounded off to nearest whole number). Quantity A: Number of boys in class Z. Quantity B: Number of girls in class X. Quantity C: Number of girls in class Y.
There are two rows, each containing 3 numbers. Below are some rules to be used to get the resultant number for each row separately. Use the rule from left to right for each row and find the answer to the question. Rule: 1. If an even number is followed by an even number, then the first number will be subtracted from the second. 2. If an odd number is followed by an odd number, then both will be added. 3. If an odd number is followed by an even number, then the even number will be subtracted from the square of the odd number. 4. If an even number is followed by an odd number, then the odd number will be subtracted from the even number. Row I: 9,11, 34 Row II: 16, 9, 8 What is the difference between the resultant numbers in the first row and the second row
