An iron blast furnace produces hot metal containing 95% Fe. The iron ore charged into the furnace contains 95% Fe2O3 and the rest is gangue. Assume that all the iron in the ore goes to hot metal. The amount of iron ore (in kg) required for producing 1000 kg of hot metal is (Atomic weight of Fe = 56 g mol-1 and that of Fe2O3 = 160 g mol-1)
500 kg of ore contained a certain amount of steel. After the first blast furnace process, 200 kg of slag containing 12.5% of steel was removed. The percentage of steel in the remaining ore was found to be 20% more than the percentage in the original ore. How many kg of steel were there in the original 500 kg ore?
In the blast furnace, as the oxygen percentage in air blast increases, the
P. flame temperature increases
Q. blast volume increases
R. blast volume decreases
S. flame temperature decreases
The given bar graph represents data of the production of paper (in ten lakh tonnes) by three different companies X, Y and Z during the years 2008 to 2012. The x-axis shows the 'years' and the y-axis represents the 'production of paper (ten lakh tonnes)'. (Note: The data shown is only for mathematical exercise. They do not represent actual figures.)  The total production of Company Y during 2008 and 2009 and Company X for 2011 and 2012 taken together is p% (p is correct to the nearest integer) more than the total production of Company Z during 2010, 2011 and 2012. The total production of Company Z during 2008 and 2009 taken together is q% (q is correct to the nearest integer) less than the total production of Company X during 2008, 2009 and 2012 and Company Y during 2010 and 2011 all together.  What is the positive difference between p and q ? 
In an ideal blast furnace, the input and output are as follows:
Input:
Ore, Pure Fe2O3, no gaunge : 1357kg/THM∗
Coke, Pure C, no ash : 400 kg/THM
Blast air, dry : O2 : 293 kg/HTM, N2 : 964 KG/THM
Flux : nil
Output :
Hot metal : 5wt% C, rest iron
Slag : nil
Top gas : CO, CO2, N2
∗ THM refers ton of hot metal (liquid pig iron) ; Atomic weights: C-12, O-16, Fe-56 The amount of oxygen in CO & CO2 leaving with the top gas is . . . . . . . . kg.
Out of the total production of iron from hematite, an ore of Iron, 20% of the ore gets wasted, and out of the remaining iron, only 25% is pure iron. If the pure iron obtained in a year from a mine of hematite was 80,000 kg, then the quantity of hematite mined from that mine in the year is
