In a 3000 m race around a field having the circumference of 600 m, the top runner meets the last runner on the 5th minute of the race. If the top runner runs at twice the speed of the last runner, what is the time taken by the top runner to finish the race? 
A simple impulse turbine has a mean blade speed of 250 m/s. The nozzle angle is 20° and the steam velocity from the nozzle is 600 m/s. The turbine uses 3000 kg/h of steam. The blade outlet angle is 25°. Determine the amount of energy converted to heat by blade friction if the blade friction factor is 0.86.
In a single row impulse turbine, the absolute velocity of steam leaving the turbine is 900 m/s. The nozzle angel is 20°. The mean blade speed is 300 m/s. The inlet blade angle is equal to the outlet blade angle. Determine the angle made by the discharging steam with the tangent of the wheel at the exit of moving blade. Neglect friction on turbine blades.
Eight friends— A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting around a circular table facing the centre. Each one of them likes different brands of television—Onida, Sony, Samsung, Micromax, TCL, LG, Toshiba and Sansui, but not necessarily in the same order. A sits third to the right of the person who likes Sansui. A does not like Samsung. E is not an immediate neighbour of H. C sits on the immediate right of the person who likes Samsung.                                     Neither A nor H likes TCL or a Sony. The person who likes TCL is not an immediate neighbour of the person who likes Sansui. The person who likes Onida sits second to the left of E. The person who likes Onida is an immediate neighbour of the both persons who like LG and Toshiba. Person who likes Toshiba sits third to the right of B. B does not like TCL. F is not an immediate neighbour of A. G is not an immediate neighbour of the person who likes Onida. Only two people sit between the person who likes Toshiba and H.

There are flowers in a basket which are to be distributed to five persons standing in a row. The second person received half of the number of flowers given to the first person, the third person received half of the number of flowers received to the second person; the fourth person received half of the number of flowers received to the third person and the fifth person received half of the number of flowers received to the fourth person. If the fifth person received only one flower and there is no flower remaining in the basket, how many flowers were their in the basket?
Consider the following statements in connection with hydraulic turbines: 1. The Kaplan turbine is a radial flow turbine in which the guide vane angles as well as the runner vane angles are adjustable. 2. Francis and Kaplan turbines are provided with draft tubes which carry water from exit of runner to tail water to increase the gross head across the turbine. 3. The parts of turbines susceptible to cavitation are the guide vanes and runner vanes – drastically reducing the turbine efficiency. 4. The specific speed of a 4-jet Pelton turbine will be 28 if the specific speed of a single-jet Pelton turbine is 14. Which of the above statements are correct?
Consider the following statements: 1. The distinguishing features of a radial flow reaction turbine are – (i) only a part of the total head of water is converted into velocity head before it reaches the runner and (ii) the flow through water completely fills all the passages in the runner. 2. Kaplan turbine is essentially a propeller working in reverse, and its blades are so mounted that all the blade angles can be adjusted simultaneously by means of suitable gearing even as the machine is in operation 3. A draft tube is pipe of gradually increasing cross-sectional area which must be airtight, and under all conditions of operation, its lower end must be submerged below the level of the discharged water in the tailrace. Which of the above statements are correct?
