ENGINEERS' DAY

From the invention of the wheel in ancient history to the modern day drones, engineering constructs have provided the vital push for the progress of human technology. Taking note of how important engineers are for the growth of nations, countries around the world celebrate the Engineer’s Day.

While Russia celebrates it on December 22, Mexico on July 1 and Italy on June 15, India has marked September 15 as the National Engineer’s Day. This is because to appreciate the contributions of Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya who was born on September 15, 1861 in a village called Muddenahalli in Karnataka.

A Bharat Ratna awardee, Visvesvaraya had studied Bachelor of Arts (BA) from the University of Madras and pursued civil engineering at College of Science in Pune.

He patented and installed an irrigation system with water floodgates at the Khadakvasla reservoir near Pune to raise the food supply level and storage to the highest levels. This was also installed at Gwalior’s Tigra Dam and Mysuru’s Krishnaraja Sagara (KRS) dam, the latter of which created one of the largest reservoirs in Asia at the time.

Visvesvaraya was not only known for his contributions in the field of engineering but was also called the “ precursor of economic planning in India”, according to the Institution of Engineers India (IEI). It stated that he is best known for his discourse “Planned Economy for India and Reconstructing India” which is the first of its kind to describe the country’s planning efforts.

He went on to become India’s most prolific civil engineer, dam builder, economist and statesman. He was one of the most prominent builders of India in the 20th century.

On the eve of Engineers' day, lets all be proud to be future engineers.

Here are answers of the last week's kindle your brain

1.The answer is b) 65

Alternately, add 5 and subtract 7

2.The answer is c) 35%

Let E1 = Event that A speaks the truth and E2 = Event that B speaks the truth.
Then, P(E1) = 75/100 = ¾,

P(E2) = 80/100 = 4/5, P(E1') = (1 – ¾) =1/4, P(E2') = (1 – 4/5) = 1/5.

P( A and B contradict each other) = P[( A speaks the truth and B tells a lie) or ( A tells a lie and B speaks the truth)]

= P[( E1 and E2') or (E1' and E2)] = P(E1 and E2') + P(E1' and E2)

= P(E1) . P(E2') + P(E1') . P(E2)

= ( ¾ × 1/5) + ( ¼ × 4/5) = ( 3/20 + 1/5 ) = 7/20

= (7/20 × 100 )% = 35%.

3. The answer is b) 80

Required number of ways
= (5C1 × 4C2) + (5C2 × 4C1) + (5C3)

= (5 × (4×3)/(2×1)) + ((5×4)/(2×1) ×4) + ((5×4×3)/(3×2×1))

= ( 30 + 40 + 10 ) = 80.

4. The answer is b) 5.00 a.m. on Wednesday

Time for 1 p.m. on Tuesday to 1 p.m. on Thursday = 48 hours.
So, the watch gains (1+2) min or 3 ins in 48 hrs.
Now, 3 min are gained in 48 hrs.

So, 1 min is gained in (48/3) = 16 hours.

Thus, the watch showed the correct time 16 hrs after 1 p.m. on Tuesday, i.e. 5 a.m. on Wednesday.

5. The answer is b) 205 sec

In a km race, suppose A takes t sec. Then, B takes (t+30) sec and C takes(t+45) sec.
180 m is covered by C in 45 sec.

Therefore 1000 m is covered by C in ( 45 / 180 × 1000) sec = 250 sec.

A covers 1000 m in ( 250 – 45 ) sec = 205 sec.
