Question Discussion & Solution

The correct answer is In 1600.

• In 1600, the East India Company was established.

Key Points

•  The Governor and company of merchants of London trading into the East Indies, popularly known as the English East India Company, were formed in 1600 AD.
• Captain William Hawkins arrived at Jahangir’s court (1609 AD) to seek permission to open a factory in Surat. A Farman was issued by Jahangir, permitting the English to build a factory in Surat (1613 AD).
• Sir Thomas Roe visited Jahangir’s court (1615 AD) as an ambassador of King James I to seek permission to trade in India.

Additional Information

• The Dutch East India Company established factories in India at Masulipatnam in 1605 AD, Pulicat (1610 AD), Surat (1616 AD), Bimlipatam (1641 AD), Karaikal (1645 AD).
• The French East India Company was formed in 1664 AD by Colbert under state patronage during the reign of Louis XIV. 

Concept:

Latent heat: It is the amount of heat needed to change the state of a unit mass of any substance without changing its temperature.

i.e., we can say that heat needed to supply for changing its state will be directly proportional to the mass m of the substance.

∴Q ∝ m

i.e.,Q = mL

The SI unit of Latent heat is J/Kg and the CGS unit is Cal/g respectively.

Where,

m = mass of an object

L = Latent heat

Q = amount of heat needed to change the state of matter of mass m 

Explanation:

From the above explanation, we can see that Amount of heat needed to melt a unit mass of a substance is directly proportional to the amount of mass of an object since the Latent heat of a material is constant.

i.e., Q ∝ m ⇒ Q = mL

Thus the unit of latent heat can be expressed as \(L=\frac{Q}{m}\Rightarrow L=\frac{Joules}{kg}\)

Total number of people = 45

Position of A from the behind = 26^th

Position of A from the front = Total number of people – A’s position from the behind + 1

= 45 – 26 + 1

= 20^th

CONCEPT:

• Electric Power: The rate at which electrical energy is dissipated into other forms of energy is called electrical power i.e.,

\(P = \frac{W}{t} = VI = {I^2}R = \frac{{{V^2}}}{R}\)

Where V = Potential difference, R = Resistance and I = current.

EXPLANATION:

• Mathematically power can be written as,

\(\Rightarrow P = \frac{W}{t} = VI \)

If, W = 1 J and t = 1 sec, then P = 1 watt

• Thus the power of an electric circuit is said to be one watt or 1 ampere - volt if one joule of energy is consumed in one second. Therefore option 1 is correct.

• In 1837, Charles Babbage proposed the first general mechanical computer, the Analytical Engine; The Analytical Engine contained an ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit), basic flow control, punch cards, and integrated memory
• Charles Babbage is credited with inventing the first mechanical computer that eventually led to more complex electronic designs, though all the essential ideas of modern computers are to be found in Babbage's analytical engine; Hence regarded as the father of computer science
• Blaise Pascal (1623 – 1662) was a French mathematician, physicist, inventor, writer and Catholic theologian
• John Napier (1550 – 1617) was a Scottish landowner known as a mathematician, physicist, and astronomer; He is best known as the discoverer of logarithms
