A remote village has exactly 1000 vehicles with sequential registration numbers starting from 1000. Out of the total vehicles, 30% are without pollution clearance certificate. Further, even- and odd-numbered vehicles are operated on even- and odd-numbered dates, respectively. If 100 vehicles are chosen at random on an even-numbered date, the number of vehicles expected without pollution clearance certificate is

Ques 6 GATE 2023 SET-2

The steady-state temperature distribution in a square plate ABCD is governed by the 2-dimensional Laplace equation. The side AB is kept at a temperature of 100 °C and the other three sides are kept at a temperature of 0 °C. Ignoring the effect of discontinuities in the boundary conditions at the corners, the steady-state temperature at the center of the plate is obtained as T_0 °C. Due to symmetry, the steady-state temperature at the center will be same (T_0 °C) when any one side of the square is kept at a temperature of 100 °C and the remaining three sides are kept at a temperature of 0 °C. Using the principle of superposition, the value of T_0 is (rounded off to two decimal places).
