Q:

Course materials are sent to students by a distance teaching institution. The probability that they will send a wrong programme’s study material is 1/5. There is a probability of 3/4 that the package is damaged in transit, and there is a probability of 1/3 that there is a short shipment. What is the probability that the complete material for the course arrives without any damage in transit? 

A) 4/5 B) 2/3
C) 1/2 D) 2/15
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 2/15

Explanation:

Probability of sending the correct material is 4/5

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Probability of the material not being damaged in transit is 1/4

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Probability that there is no short shipment = 2/3

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

∴ Required probability =4/5 x 1/4 x 2/3 = 2/15

Q:

Which of the following is the strongest base?

A) LiCH3 B) LiF
C) LiOH D) LiNH2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) LiCH3

Explanation:

The stability of the ions is determined by the energy of the lone pairs. Carbon has the least effective nuclear charge (Zeff) and so the lone pair on the CH3− ion has the highest energy, making it the least stable ion and so the strongest base. The Zeff increases as we move across the period until we get to fluorine which has the greatest Zeff and so its lone pairs have the lowest energy, making F− the least basic ion.

 

In order of decreasing basicity they are ranked LiCH3 > LiNH2 > LiOH > LiF. We are dealing with the ions F−, OH−, NH2− and CH3− and so the factor which influences their basicity is the stability of the ion compared to its conjugate acid.

Q:

Tell me a suggestion you have made that was implemented in lean manufacturing field?

Answer

It's important here to focus on the word "implemented". "There's nothing wrong with having a thousand great ideas, but if the only place they live is on your notepad what's the point? Better still you need a good ending. If your previous company took your advice and ended up going bankrupt, that's not such a great example either.Be prepared with a story about an idea of yours that was taken from idea to implementation and considered successful.
