aptitude

question; you have two flask one having 3 litre capacity  and the other having 4 litre capacity and you need to show a way to get 2 litre water out of these two

such a questions can be solved within 20 second by modeling the situation mathematically:
 let us consider we have two input 3 and 4 and with arithmatic you need to get 2 (in arithmatic we  are allwed to perform only additon and substraction because it is easy to visualise  these in real life...)

now 4-3=1 ,now we have have generated one but we cant do 1+1=2 because we have generated only one 1 . so....3-1=2 is valid so we got the required answer 2.
                                                                                              convert it into physical situation, subtraction means you are pouring one fill into other unfill and addition means you are pouring filled into other filled. so 4-3 suggest either you pour 4 litre into three or three litre into 4 litre ,since 4 litre cant be poured into 3 so we have to pour 3 into 4 litre flask. then 3-1. when you poured  3 into 4 litre flask 4 litre flask became 1 litre flask but here you cant pour 1 litre into three litre (common sense as it contains already 3 litre and has capacity of 4 litre) so you need to pour 3 litre into 1 litre(that is 4 litre flask) so the water left in the flask is 3-1=2 litre your required answer

Different perspective of Freedom-----market economy vs social stability

  What we can define we can control, perhaps this is the reason why we cant define emotion. This article is all about Freedom and its scope.   I will define freedom as this   article progresses towards required point. Pre-requisite: Cost of Happiness: happiness is not something static, it’s a dynamic concept and its directly linked to the edge of our freely floating mind . In other words if someone/something is responsible for your happiness(social/sexual/psychological) wont last long until and unless there is some desirable or at least some socially acknowledgeable value is added to the status quo. Now since this change traces the edge of our freely floating mind (and our mind tend to spread to the extreme extant of our economic/social/psychological reach) it becomes difficult or rather costly to continuously sustain this change. I call it cost of happiness   , that we have to keep paying .   Biasness: Lack of knowledge is called biasness. If ...

evaporation

what causes water to evaporate every fluid (pure) has a definite vapor pressure at a fixed temperature , now if any how the partial pressure of the fluid is less then the the vapor pressure of the fluid then the fluid starts evaporating to attain the partial pressure equal to the  vapor pressure of the fluid, and then the equillibrium is reached and evaporation stops.                              basically at the top of the fluid there is a random motion of the fluid molecule due to the difference between the addhesve and cohesive forces, some molecule say 'n' goes into the vapour phase and some strikes back say m such that n>m then after the above explained condition is achieved then the constraint m=n. conclusion whenever there is the fluid in liquid state is  present then in that system partial pressure is exactly to the ...
