If $\begin{pmatrix}1&1\\0&1\end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}1&2\\0&1\end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}1&3\\0&1\end{pmatrix}\cdots\begin{pmatrix}1&n-1\\0&1\end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix}1&78\\0&1\end{pmatrix}$, find the inverse of $\begin{pmatrix}1&n\\0&1\end{pmatrix}$.

$\begin{pmatrix}1&0\\12&1\end{pmatrix}$
$\begin{pmatrix}1&-13\\0&1\end{pmatrix}$
$\begin{pmatrix}1&-12\\0&1\end{pmatrix}$✔️
$\begin{pmatrix}1&0\\13&1\end{pmatrix}$

Correct Answer Logic:

The product of upper-triangular matrices $\begin{pmatrix}1&k\\0&1\end{pmatrix}$ gives $\begin{pmatrix}1&\sum k\\0&1\end{pmatrix}$.

$\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}k = \dfrac{(n-1)n}{2} = 78 \Rightarrow n(n-1)=156 \Rightarrow n=13$

The inverse of $\begin{pmatrix}1&n\\0&1\end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix}1&13\\0&1\end{pmatrix}$ is $\begin{pmatrix}1&-13\\0&1\end{pmatrix}$.

Question 10

The inhibitory system in raw milk providing natural antimicrobial protection is:

The complement system
The lactoperoxidase-thiocyanate-$\text{H}_2\text{O}_2$ (LP) system: $\text{H}_2\text{O}_2 + \text{SCN}^- \xrightarrow{\text{LPO}} \text{OSCN}^-$✔️
The lactoferrin-iron sequestration system
The lysozyme-murein lysis system

Correct Answer Logic:

The LP system: $\text{H}_2\text{O}_2$ (substrate) $+$ $\text{SCN}^-$ $+$ lactoperoxidase (enzyme) $\rightarrow$ hypothiocyanite ($\text{OSCN}^-$) that oxidizes microbial sulfhydryl groups, inhibiting bacterial growth. This system provides $\approx 2\text{–}3$ hours of protection in raw milk at ambient temperature.

Mathematics QUESTION #6939

Question 14

Let $S_n = 1+q+q^2+\cdots+q^n$ and $T_n = 1+\dfrac{q+1}{2}+\left(\dfrac{q+1}{2}\right)^2+\cdots+\left(\dfrac{q+1}{2}\right)^n$, where $q \in \mathbb{R},\ q\neq 1$. If ${}^{101}C_1 + {}^{101}C_2\cdot S_1 + \cdots + {}^{101}C_{101}\cdot S_{100} = \alpha\, T_{100}$, find $\alpha$.

$2^{99}$
202
200
$2^{100}$✔️

Correct Answer Logic:

$S_n = \dfrac{q^{n+1}-1}{q-1}$. The LHS sum involves $\sum_{k=1}^{101}\binom{101}{k}S_{k-1}$.

After substituting and applying binomial theorem: the sum simplifies using $\sum \binom{101}{k}\frac{q^k-1}{q-1}$.

The result evaluates to $\alpha T_{100}$ where $\alpha = 2^{100}$.

Dairy Food Science and Technology QUESTION #5957

Question 18

In dairy plant design, 'pasteurized product contamination by raw milk' in plate heat exchangers (PHE) is prevented by:

Using thicker gaskets between raw and pasteurized milk channels
Designing the regeneration section with higher pressure on the pasteurized side ($\geq 14\;\text{kPa}$ or $2\;\text{psi}$ above raw milk pressure) than the raw milk side✔️
Using separate PHEs for raw and pasteurized milk
Monitoring conductivity of milk streams

Correct Answer Logic:

In HTST PHE regeneration sections, regulations require that pasteurized milk pressure exceed raw milk pressure by $\geq 14\;\text{kPa}$ ($2\;\text{psi}$), ensuring that any leakage is from pasteurized to raw (not raw to pasteurized), preventing contamination of the pasteurized product stream.
