Q.8 The World Bank has declared that it does not plan to offer new financing to Sri Lanka,
Which is battling its worst economic crisis in decades, until the country has an adequate
macroeconomic policy trameworkin place. In a statement, the World Bank said Sri Lanka
needed to adopt structural reforms that focus on economic stabilisation and tackle the
root causes ofits crisis. The latter has starved it of foreign exchange and led to shortages
of food, fuel, and medicines. The bank is repurposing resources under existing loans
to help alleviate shortages of essential items such as medicine, cooking gas, fertiliser,
meals for children, and cash for vulnerable households.
Based only on the above passage, which one of the following statements can be inferred
with certainty?
(@) According to the World Bank, the root cause of Sri Lanka's economic crisis is that
it does not have enough foreign exchange.
(b) The World Bank has stated that it will advise the Sri Lankan government about how
to tackle the rost causes of its economic crisis.

@.19__ John and Jane independently performed a thermodynamic experiment, in which X and
Y represent the initial and final thermodynamic states of the system, respectively. John
performed the experiment under reversible conditions, for which the change in entropy
of the system was AS,,. Jane performed the experiment under irreversible conditions,
for which the change in entropy of the system was AS,,. Which ane of the following
relationships is CORRECT?.
(@) ASy, = ASy, (b) AS5, > AS
(©) AS. < AS, (@) AS, = 285,
Ans. (a)
Since entropy is a point function so that is why, it only depends on the initial and final
slate either performed by reversible path or irreversible path, Therefore the change in
entropy in both the cases will be same.

Q.42 Which one of the following represents the CORRECT etfects of concentration polarization
in a reverse osmosis process?
(a) Reduced water flux and reduced solute rejection
(b) Increased water flux and increased solute rejection
(c) Reduced water flux and increased solute rejection
(d) Increased water flux and reduced solute rejection,
Ans. (a)
Concentration polarization reduces the flux of water because the inerease in osmotic
pressure reduces the driving force for water transport and the solute rejection decreases
because of lower water flux.
@.43. CO and, participate in a catalytic reaction. The partial pressures (in atm) of the reacting
species CO and H, in the feed stream are gq and p., tespectively. While CO undergoes
molecular adsorption, H, adsorbs via dissociative adsorption, thatis, as hydrogen atoms.
The equilibrium constants (in atm’) corresponding to adsorption of CO and H, to the
catalyst sites are Keo and Ky, tespectively. Total molar concentration of active sites
per unit mass of the catalyst is C, (in mol.(g cat)-"). Both the adsorption steps are at
