If p1, is the pressure of air entering the L.P. cylinder and p2 is the pressure of air leaving the L.P. cylinder (or intercooler pressure), then the ratio of cylinder diameters for a single acting, two stage reciprocating air compressor with complete intercooling is given by (where D1 = Dia. of L.P. cylinder, and D2 = Dia. of H.P. cylinder)

[A]. D1/D2 = p1p2
[B]. D1/D2 = p1/p2
[C]. D1/D2 = p2/p1
[D]. none of these
✅ The correct answer is option C.

A body is subjected to a tensile stress of 1200 MPa on one plane and another tensile stress of 600 MPa on a plane at right angles to the former. It is also subjected to a shear stress of 400 MPa on the same planes. The maximum normal stress will be

[A]. 400 MPa
[B]. 500 MPa
[C]. 900 MPa
[D]. 1400 MPa
✅ The correct answer is option D.
