Q1 Howdo you install a new Samsung washing machine? A1 Gopala Krishnan,former Assistant General Manager 1996-2004 at Department of Telecom(1966-2004)Answered just now Why such a question arising is not known. In India while you purchase a new washing machine,the company send technician for installing and testing. Mostly it isfree of charge in India. What one has to make ready in India are 1) 15 ampspower socket with switch. 2) Good water flowing tap 3) Installation area,ground is made slightly rough. If smooth while spinning machine may vibrate andmostly move also. If one has purchased a secondhand machine, there are many private technicians who would efficiently install the machine in India. Q2 Iwant to start a food business at a low cost in Gurgaon. Which should I choose,South Indian or North Indian? I can cook. A2 GopalkrishnaVishwanath An Indian vegetarian by habit, and upbringing22h There are reasons why you might choose one over the other. Gurgaon is in north India. People generally eat food or snacks likeparaanthas, puris, chole bhature, jalebis, chaat items and wash it down withlassi or tea. So you may reckon it is better to offer north Indian food to getmore customers. But when people eat outside,they generally like to try something that is normally not prepared at home. So offering Idlis, vadas, dosas, uthappamupma and coffee might be a better idea. I have found that south Indianslike to eat North Indian food outside the house and north Indians like to eatSouth Indian food outside their houses. If I were you, I would offer both at least initially. See how thebusiness performs. See for which food there is more demand, which is less timeconsuming, which requires less effort to prepare, and which is more profitable.Then slowly shift your emphasis to the one that is more profitable for you. Tip: Keep it vegetarian. Non-vegetariancustomers don’t mind eating in vegetarian joints. If they feel like eating nonveg food they will goelsewhere. Many vegetarians will avoid your place if you serve non-vegetarianitems. So keeping it a vegetarian restaurant will bring you more customers. I wish you luck in your venture. Edited to add: Vikas Sharma in his comment adds “Sir, in addition, you can add the point of Swiggyand Zomato. Food Shops or restaurants earn a great value of theirrevenue through these apps.” Q3 Howdo large heavy animals without hooves cope with treading on sharp stones andthorns? A3 Claire Jordan Degreein biology and folklore; programmer, shop owner, secretary on newspaper Tue Either very thick, hard skin onthe soles of the feet, or a really thick layer of fur, or, like camels, they live somewhere where the surface is usually fairlysoft and smooth.Also,*really* big animals such as elephants tend to move fairly slowly,so unless they’re actively charging they have time to feel what they aretreading on and take their weight off it if it’s sharp or wobbly. Q4 Whydo students go to study in countries like Ukraine for MBBS? In what part of thecountry is doing MBBS the cheapest? A4 KanthaswamyBalasubramaniam Lawyer Wed One of the Main Reasons is - MBBS in India is highlyCompetitive Unlike Engineering today which any Donkey can find a course in some fifthrate college across the Country - MBBS still has some standards and the Course is a tough one andadmission to the course vide NEET is still pretty tough. So what do you do when you want to study to become a Doctor but find thatyou could not score enough marks to clear NEET for various reasons????You tryto find a Paid or Management Seat? Price of sucha Seat could range from Rs. 90 Lakhs to Rs. 6 Crore depending on College plus a fee ranging from Rs. 50 Lakhs minimum to Rs. 1.5 Crore over a 5year period. In Ukraine on the other hand -costs you a mere Rs. 38 Lakhs for a 5 Year Course including Boarding andAccomodation. So in Ukraine you can be a Doctor, same in Tbilisi Now i am not sure about the Course standards and whether the Course is onpar with MBBS Course in India (Some Students say Ukranian Courses are tougher)but Admission is easier to Medical Courses than in India. One Reasonfor this is also - Reservation Almost 99% Students are from the General Category and based on what thestudents said yesterday after landing in Delhi from Warsaw or Bucharest - theyall said If we didnt have reservations - We would never have gone to Ukrainefor Medical Studies Students who secured 97% Marksdidnt get Govt Colleges because their cut off was 97.5% while the Reserved Categories got admission despite scoringlower marks Q5 Whatis an ADC Sensor in LG Air Conditioners?

A6 Gopala Krishnan,former Assistant General Manager 1996-2004 at Department of Telecom(1966-2004)Answered just now Most companies or their sales people take back old batteries and give a discountin the new battery. Oldbattery is taken back for the lead in the batteries which isextracted and reused for new batteries. There is good profit for the company onaccount of this in procuring new lead for batteries. Q7 Whywere people in the 1700s less likely to survive a cold (virus) than in today'sworld? A7 Mats Andersson Commonor Garden Armchair Historian Thu Two reasons: Malnutrition. This lowers yourdefenses overall, so thatsomething small is more likely to tip you over the edge. Pneumonia. It’s a rarecomplication that is easilytreated with penicillin today, but which was often fatal up until WWII. Although I’m not 100% certain the premise is actually correct. Today,many people become old enough to become so frail that even a cold might killthem. Since we have eradicated many things that would make people die younger,like smallpox, it is much more likely that we live to that age today. I haven’tdone the numbers, though. Q8 Whatdid people use before insulin was invented? A8 Claire Jordan Degree in biology and folklore; programmer,shop owner, secretary on newspaper 3h Presumably you mean artificial insulin supplements for diabetics. Type I diabetics and those with damaged pancreases could extend theirlife for some months with a controlled diet, but eventually they fell into acoma and then died not long after, usually very young. Type 2s must have rattledalong, drinkling gallons of water and peeing a lot, until the increased risk of heart disease and stroke got them. Q9 Whatis AI dual Inverter in LG Air Conditioners?

Q10 DoesRBI pay huge money like 50 lakhs if it's employees dependent parents need livertransplant or immunotherapy for diseases like cancer? A10 KanthaswamyBalasubramaniam Lawyer Feb 23 When i was working in the Bank - I remember a Scale II Officer gettingpaid Rs. 33.5 Lakh Rupees for Cancer Treatment from 2015 to 2016 for a period of 14 months. He was working in the Bank and the Bank paid him nearly 34 Lakh Rupees inVarious Bills. My Guess is Since RBI and PSU Banks arevery similar - RBI should also have the same benefits and should be able tooffer Unlimited Medical Expenses for Staff and 75% for Family Dependents of staff. Q11 Ifthe ancient Egyptians were so good at documenting, why didn't they document theway they built the pyramids? A11 Matt Riggs by MAArchaeology, Boston University Tue “If the ancient Egyptians were so good at documenting” Flag on the counterfactual.They weren’t. Not likethat, anyway. In most ancient societies, literacy was a rather specializedskill, used for particular purposes by particular segments of society. It wasused mostly in fields where people worked intensively with words and numbers:priests (gotta get those prayers exactly right), merchants, bureaucrats, poets,and the like used writing. But engineering and masonry were largely practicalcrafts, learned by doing rather than by classroom teaching or other kinds ofabstract, “book” learning. Masons, like carpenters, potters, and so on didn’twrite a lot of stuff down. This means that documents on practical craftsstarted out relatively uncommon, and since few people found a reason topreserve such works, what there was tended to fade away over time. And suchdocuments as we do have tend to be about accounting for resources required forconstruction rather than the technical details of the work itself. Q12 Howdo Brits do laundry? A12 Claire Jordan Degree inbiology and folklore; programmer, shop owner, secretary on newspaper Thu Almost every household in theUK has a front-loading washing machine (the few who don’t go to a commercial launderette shop). Only a smallproportion have dryers though. So you wash your clothes, then you hang them up on rails (or, insummer, on a washing-line in the garden) to dry. I suspect electric dryers willbecome more common in future. In the past, almost everyone with hot water (and even 70 years ago thatwas all but the poorest households) had an immersion heater to heat the water,and then above that was an “airing cupboard” - a recess containing slattedshelves on which you laid out your washing to be dried by the hot air risingabove the heater. Over thelast 20 years immersion heaters have been almost completely replaced by combiboilers, so airing cupboards are now rare, which makes dryingclothes indoors much more difficult.
