Which of the following materials, used in construction, is an industrial waste product?
Show Hint
- Lime
- Fly Ash
- Sand
- Brick
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Identify which of the given materials is an industrial waste product.
- Lime: A naturally occurring material used in construction, but not a waste product.
- Sand: A naturally occurring granular material, not an industrial byproduct.
- Brick: Manufactured from clay and other materials but not classified as industrial waste.
- Fly Ash: A fine powder byproduct from coal combustion in thermal power plants, widely used in construction.
Step 2: Fly ash is utilized in the production of cement, concrete, and bricks due to its binding properties and environmental benefits.
Thus, the correct answer is option B Fly Ash.

- Consider the vectors $$ \vec{x} = \hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k},\quad \vec{y} = 2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + \hat{k},\quad \vec{z} = 3\hat{i} + \hat{j} + 2\hat{k}. $$ For two distinct positive real numbers $ \alpha $ and $ \beta $, define $$ \vec{X} = \alpha \vec{x} + \beta \vec{y} - \vec{z},\quad \vec{Y} = \alpha \vec{y} + \beta \vec{z} - \vec{x},\quad \vec{Z} = \alpha \vec{z} + \beta \vec{x} - \vec{y}. $$ If the vectors $ \vec{X}, \vec{Y}, \vec{Z} $ lie in a plane, then the value of $ \alpha + \beta - 3 $ is ________.
The center of a disk of radius $ r $ and mass $ m $ is attached to a spring of spring constant $ k $, inside a ring of radius $ R>r $ as shown in the figure. The other end of the spring is attached on the periphery of the ring. Both the ring and the disk are in the same vertical plane. The disk can only roll along the inside periphery of the ring, without slipping. The spring can only be stretched or compressed along the periphery of the ring, following Hooke’s law. In equilibrium, the disk is at the bottom of the ring. Assuming small displacement of the disc, the time period of oscillation of center of mass of the disk is written as $ T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} $. The correct expression for $ \omega $ is ( $ g $ is the acceleration due to gravity):

- A positive point charge of $10^{-8}$ C is kept at a distance of 20 cm from the center of a neutral conducting sphere of radius 10 cm. The sphere is then grounded and the charge on the sphere is measured. The grounding is then removed and subsequently the point charge is moved by a distance of 10 cm further away from the center of the sphere along the radial direction. Taking $ \frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \, \text{Nm}^2/\text{C}^2 $, which of the following statements is/are correct:
