Answer:

Best case = 2 gloves

Given Information:

Red gloves = 5 pairs

Yellow gloves = 4 pairs

Green gloves = 2 pairs

smallest number of gloves you need to select to have at least one matching pair in the best case = ?

Explanation:

How many gloves do you need to make one matching pair?

2

Yes, you are right. 2 gloves makes a matching pair and it is the smallest number of gloves you need to select to have at least one matching pair.

But what about worst case?

lets say

you tried all 5 red gloves either all of them were left or right

then you tried 4 yellow gloves either all of them were left or right

then you tried 2 green gloves either all of them were left or right

Now all the left or right gloves are tried (5 + 4 + 2 = 11) and the 12th one will definitely be either matching red, yellow or green.

Therefore, in the worst case scenario, the smallest number of gloves you need to select to have at least one matching pair is 12.

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Water enters a centrifugal pump axially at atmospheric pressure at a rate of 0.12 m3/s and at a velocity of 7 m/s, and leaves in the normal direction along the pump casing, as shown in Fig. PI3-39. Determine the force acting on the shaft (which is also the force acting on the bearing of the shaft) in the axial direction.

Step-by-step solution:

Step 1 of 5

A small lake with volume of 160,000 m^3 receives agricultural drainage waters that contain 150 mg / L total dissolved solids (TD
Stels [109]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that : -

The desirable limit is 500 mg / l , but

allowable upto 2000 mg / l.

The take volume is V = 160.000 m3

V = 160 , 000 x 103 l

The crainage gives 150 mg / l and lake has initialy 100 mg / l

Code of tpr frpm drawn = 150 x 60, 000 x 1000

Ci = 9000 kg / gr

Cl = 100 x 160,000 x 1000

Cl = 16, 000 kg

Since allowable limit = 2000 mg / l

Cn = ( 2000 x 160, 00 x 1000 )

= 320, 000 kg

so, each year the rate increases, by 9000 kg / yr

Read level = ( 320, 000 - 16,000 )

Li = 304, 000 kg

Tr=<u>304,000</u>

      900

=33.77
