Ques 14 GATE 2017 SET-2
The arrangement shown in the figure measures the velocity V of a gas of density 1 kg/m3 flowing through a pipe. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s2. If the manometric fluid is water (density 1000 kg/m3) and the velocity V is 20 m/s, the differential head h (in mm) between the two arms of the manometer is ________.

Ques 15 GATE 2017 SET-2
A 60 mm-diameter water jet strikes a plate containing a hole of 40 mm diameter as shown in the figure. Part of the jet passes through the hole horizontally, and the remaining is deflected vertically. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3. If velocities are as indicated in the figure, the magnitude of horizontal force (in N) required to hold the plate is ________.

Ques 16 GATE 2017 SET-2
For the laminar flow of water over a sphere, the drag coefficient CF is defined as CF = F/(ρU2D2), where F is the drag force, ρ is the fluid density, U is the fluid velocity and D is the diameter of the sphere. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3. When the diameter of the sphere is 100 mm and the fluid velocity is 2 m/s, the drag coefficient is 0.5. If water now flows over another sphere of diameter 200 mm under dynamically similar conditions, the drag force (in N) on this sphere is ________.

Ques 22 GATE 2017 SET-2
"If you are looking for a history of India, or for an account of the rise and fall of the British Raj, or for the reason of the cleaving of the subcontinent into two mutually antagonistic parts and the effects this mutilation will have in the respective sections, and ultimately on Asia, you will not find it in these pages; for though I have spent a lifetime in the country, I lived too near the seat of events, and was too intimately associated with the actors, to get the perspective needed for the impartial recording of these matters."
Which of the following is closest in meaning to 'cleaving'?
Ques 23 GATE 2017 SET-2
X bullocks and Y tractors take 8 days to plough a field. If we halve the number of bullocks and double the number of tractors, it takes 5 days to plough the same field. How many days will it take X bullocks alone to plough the field?
Ques 24 GATE 2017 SET-2
There are 4 women P, Q, R, S, and 5 men V, W, X, Y, Z in a group. We are required to form pairs each consisting of one woman and one man. P is not to be paired with Z, and Y must necessarily be paired with someone. In how many ways can 4 such pairs be formed?
Ques 25 GATE 2017 SET-2
All people in a certain island are either 'Knights' or 'Knaves' and each person knows every other person's identity. Knights NEVER lie, and knaves ALWAYS lie.
P says "Both of us are knights". Q says "None of us are knaves".
Which one of the following can be logically inferred from the above?
Ques 26 GATE 2017 SET-2
In the graph below, the concentration of a particular pollutant in a lake is plotted over (alternate) days of a month in winter (average temperature 10°C) and a month in summer (average temperature 30°C).
Consider the following statements based on the data shown above:
i. Over the given months, the difference between the maximum and the minimum pollutant concentrations is the same in both winter and summer.
ii. There are at least four days in the summer month such that the pollutant concentrations on those days are within 1 ppm of the pollutant concentrations on the corresponding days in the winter month.
Which one of the following options is correct?
