GKB_Q115
Q-The reflex angle between the hands of a clock at 10:25 is ?(in degree)
(Note: At 10:25, hour hand is not at sharp 10)

The angle between hands is 180+?

Now the problem is to find ?=x

.

.

.

We know that hour hand covers 30 degree in one hour and minute hand covers 360 degree in one hour.

     360 degree of minute hand = 30 degree of hour hand

(in 25 minute, minute hand covers 150 degree)

So 150 degree of minute hand = (30*150)/360 degree of hour hand

Hence hour hand cover 12.5 degree.

So

x=30-12.5=17.5 degree

Therefore, total angle between hands is 180+17.5=197.5 degree

India's first Tidal power plant

The Indian state of Gujarat has cleared plans for the installation of India’s first commercial tidal power plant. The proposal to build a tidal power plant with an initial capacity of 50 MW was made by London-based marine energy developer Atlantis Resources Corporation.

The company has signed a MoU with the government of Gujarat to set up the power plant by 2013. The plant is likely to be scaled up to a capacity of 250 MW at a cost of about $165 million. The project will be developed in partnership with the Gujarat Power Corporation Limited.

Describing the current global scenario with regard to the total installed capacity, Atlantis’ CEO said that the sector is in its nascent stages and compared it with the early stages of wind energy growth ten years ago.

The capital costs involved in tidal power plants is very high largely due to the extensive civil works required. The average break year time for such power plant varies from 8 to 12 years. Therefore, for the project to be commercially viable the tariffs are need to be attractive.

Handshake Problem...

GKB_Q98
Q- At a party,every1 shake hands with everybody else.There r 66 handshakes
How many people r there?



Ans- With two people, there is one handshake.
With three people, there are three handshakes.
With four people, there are six handshakes.
In general, with n+1 people, the number of handshakes is the sum of the first n consecutive numbers: 1+2+3+...+n.
Since this sum is n(n+1)/2,
we need to solve the equation n(n+1)/2 = 66.
This is the quadratic equation n²+n-132 = 0.
Solving for n, we obtain 11 as the answer and deduce that there were 12 people at the party.

How many Squares on a Chessboard?

How many Squares on a Chessboard?

Although this investigation seems quite simple, it requires a methodical approach if the correct answer is to be attained.
As the title suggests, the investigation involves children finding out how squares there are on a chessboard. You might think that there are only 64, but you would be wrong...
The diagram below shows that there are indeed 64 squares, you there are also some more...

Don't forget the one large square (shown in red here)...

And, also the 16 two-by-two squares shown below (although these aren't the only 2x2 squares!)...

There are many more different-sized squares on the chessboard.
The complete list of answers is shown below:

1, 8x8 square

4, 7x7 squares

9, 6x6 squares

16, 5x5 squares

25, 4x4 squares

36, 3x3 squares

49, 2x2 squares

64, 1x1 squares

Therefore, there are actually 64 + 49 + 36 + 25 + 16 + 9 + 4 + 1 squares on a chessboard! (in total 204).

Know the technology-3G

Know the technology-3G

Everyone may know that the Apple's iPhone 3G has been launched in India. But many of us are not aware what is 3G. So let's have a brief look into it.

What is 3G?

3G is the next generation of wireless network technology that provides high speed bandwidth (high data transfer rates) to handheld devices. The high data transfer rates will allow 3G networks to offer multimedia services combining voice and data. Additional features also include HSPA(High-Speed packet Access) data transmission capabilities able to deliver speeds up to 14.4Mbit/s on the downlink and 5.8Mbit/s on the uplink

3G wireless networks have the bandwidth to provide converged voice and data services. 3G services will seamlessly combine superior voice quality telephony, high-speed mobile IP services, information technology, rich media and offer diverse content.

What are the Advantages of 3G

A.   3G networks offer users advantages such as:

B.   New radio spectrum to relieve overcrowding in existing systems.

C.   More bandwidth, security, and reliability.

D.   Interoperability between service providers.

E.   Fixed and variable data rates.

F.    Always-online devices. 3G will use IP connectivity, IP is packet based (not circuit based.

G.  Rich multimedia services.

What are Some Disadvantages of 3G?

A.   There are some issues in deploying 3G:

B.   The cost of upgrading base stations and cellular infrastructure to 3G is very high.

C.   Requires different handsets and there is the issue of handset availability.

D.   Base stations need to be closer to each other (more cost).

E.   Tremendous spectrum-license costs, network deployment costs, handset subsidies to subscribers, etc.

F.    High power requirements.
