Question 1 |
A machine produces a defective component with a probability of 0.015. The
number of defective components in a packed box containing 200 components
produced by the machine follows a Poisson distribution. The mean and the
variance of the distribution are
3 and 3, respectively | |
\sqrt{3} and \sqrt{3} , respectively | |
0.015 and 0.015, respectively | |
3 and 9, respectively |
Question 1 Explanation:
P = 0.015
n = 200
mean =\lambda =np= 200 \times 0.015 = 3
variance =\sigma ^2=\lambda =3
n = 200
mean =\lambda =np= 200 \times 0.015 = 3
variance =\sigma ^2=\lambda =3

Question 4 Explanation:
\begin{aligned}
x_1&=45 &...(i)\\
x_2&= 50&...(ii)\\
10x_1+10x_2&=600 \\
or\; x_1+x_2&=60&...(iii) \\
25x_1+5x_2&=750 \\
or\; 5x_1+x_2&=150&...(iv) \\
\end{aligned}
By drawing the curve we get 3 values of x_1 and x_2 as (10, 50), (20, 50), (22.5, 37.5)
So, Z_{max}=45x_1+60x_2 for (10,50)
Z_{max}=450+3000=4450
for (20,50)
Z_{max}=45\times 20+50 \times 60=3900
for (22.5, 37.5)
Z_{max}=45\times 22.5+60 \times 37.5=3262.5
So, Z_{max}=3900\; for \; (x_1,x_2)=(20,50)

Question 5 |
A cuboidal part has to be accurately positioned first, arresting six degrees of
freedom and then clamped in a fixture, to be used for machining. Locating pins in
the form of cylinders with hemi-spherical tips are to be placed on the fixture for
positioning. Four different configurations of locating pins are proposed as shown.
Which one of the options given is correct?
Configuration P1 arrests 6 degrees of freedom, while Configurations P2 and P4 are
over-constrained and Configuration P3 is under-constrained.

Question 5 Explanation:
3-2-1 principle of location
The 3-2-1 principle of location (six point location principle) is used to constrain the movement of workpiece along the three axes XX, YY and ZZ.
This is achieved by providing six locating points, 3-pins in base plate, 2-pins in vertical plane and 1-pin in a plane which is perpendicular to first two planes.
