[Ans. B]
M works with twice efficiency as E but worked for half as many days. So in this repsect they will
do equal work if their shifts would have been for same timings. But Ms shift is for hrs, while Es
shift for 12 hrs. Hence E will do twice the work as M.
Ratio of contribution of M : E in work, 1 : 2

Symmetric part becomes zero while skew symmetric part is left therefore a square matrix is
called a skew symmetric matrix if AT = A

Q.No. 18
[Ans. B]
Heat transfer rate q = Ch (Thi Tho ) = Cc (Tco Tci )
Let Ch = Cmin ; Then q = Cmin (Thi Tho )
Also dg = Ch dTh = Cc dTc
If Ch < C c DTh > dTc Temperature of hot fluid will change fster compared to that of cold
fluid and if the heat exchanger is infinitely long (for q max ), temperature Tho would approach Tci
Thus q max = Cmin (Thi Tci ) = Cmin Tmax

e = Vt1 u1 Vt2 u2 = [Vt1 Vt2 ]u . . (1)
As the flow velocity is same 150 cos = 300 cos 65o

Vt1 = 300 sin 65o and Vt2 = 150 sin 32.30o
Substituting in equation (1) and solving we obtain
