Answer:
YES
Explanation:
If we connect batteries in series then the output voltage is the sum of the individual voltage of each battery i.e if you connect three 12 volts batteries in series then their output voltage will be 12+12+12=36 volts, but the current rating of the batteries in series will be same of the individual battery rating in 'mah'.
But when we connect the batteries in parallel their voltage is not added but their current rating in mah is addition of their individual rating.
So, If you want 24 volts from three 12 volts battery then you can connect two of them in series and the other one in parallel with them this will give 24 volts and the current will be addition of the two series batteries and the third which is in parallel with them. You can use this configuration if current value is not a big factor.

Answer:
The correct answer is A : Orientation dependence of normal and shear stresses at a point in mechanical members
Explanation:
Since we know that in a general element of any loaded object the normal and shearing stresses vary in the whole body which can be mathematically represented as

And 
Mohr's circle is the graphical representation of the variation represented by the above 2 formulae in the general oriented element of a body that is under stresses.
The Mohr circle is graphically displayed in the attached figure.
Answer:
Suction and exhaust processes do not affect the performance of Otto cycle.
Explanation:
Step1
Inlet and exhaust flow processes are not including in the Otto cycle because the effect and nature of both the process are same in opposite direction.
Step2
Inlet process or the suction process is the process of suction of working fluid inside the cylinder. The suction process is the constant pressure process. The exhaust process is the process of exhaust out at constant pressure.
Step3
The suction and exhaust process have same work and heat in opposite direction. So, net effect of suction and exhaust processes cancels out. The suction and exhaust processes are shown below in P-V diagram of Otto cycle:
Process 0-1 is suction process and process 1-0 is exhaust process.
