Review Q1: This is a question where it might be difficult to strike that it is a

question from entropy. Here is a keyword that might help you in determining:
‘maximum amount of work’. Whenever in a question there is heat/work
interaction and we are asked about maximum/minimum amount of work, try
to use the concept of entropy as applied in the question.

Review Q2: It is a very simple question to convey two things: First that
expansion against atmosphere is considered as a constant pressure process
(very basic yet not known to some) and second that whenever you get a
question in which there are multiple thermodynamic processes are occurring,
always plot the processes on the property diagram. You might now feel the
importance of it in this question but it will help you in simplifying the approach
in complex numericals.

Review Q3: This question tests you on the basis if you are able to locate the
state in property diagram. As I told the importance of making property
diagram in previous question, in the questions of pure substances as well,
ALWAYS try to plot the process on property diagram. This question is the best
example to understand why.

Review Q4: This question uses derivative form of shear strain which is less
common. GATE can ask these type of concepts which are from basic topics but
with uncommon approach.

Review Q7: This question of inclusive of many concepts in each statement.

Humans are inherently good at critical analysis and finding mistakes, so in such
questions, the best way to proceed is to eliminate options by looking for
INCORRECT statements first.

Review Q8: Most of the questions asked from Gear Trains are easy and
process-driven. However, for those who do not understand line diagrams,
solving such scoring question gets difficult. Since, line diagrams based question
has been asked in GATE, it is always good to understand them. Who knows
GATE 2018 may become the next entry for line diagrams!

Review Q9: It gets highly important while taking tests that you must pay
attention to smaller details as well. This is a question in which mass of pulley is
also given; hence inertia of pulley will also come into action. Missing out on
this small detail can lead you in a different direction altogether. In vibrations,
questions considering mass of components can be made with other variations
as well. Always watch out!
