Q1         Which washing machinescan dry clothes best in terms of being as 
close to 100% dry as possible? I amnot looking for dryers but an in-built 
feature in a washing machine that woulddry clothes completely. I am looking for 
machines available in India.

LG front load washing machinecome with washer and dryerboth. 99.9% clothes get 
dry in machine itself. But 1 washing and drying cycletogether takes 3hrs 
tocomplete at full load that is 9.5kg.

Laundromat Wash & Hang Laundry, In panchkula MDC, Sector 4, BhensaTibbat, SCO 
9, 1st floor uses seprate washer and dryers as they are much moreeffective.

There are high end models with built in dryers (same machine doingwashing and 
drying cycles, thus no need to take out the clothes and put in aseparate 
dryer).The prosare - convenience and the clothes come out 100% dry…

The cons are - high cost(about 50K INR), prolongedtime, much higher electricity 
bill, probably higher AMC charges too…

Q2         How can I eat raw garlicwithout burning my mouth?

A2          Lucia Garcia Worked atHospitals13h

For the maximum health benefits of garlic, I highly recommend eating raw garlic.

Some people may experience symptoms such as bad breath, heartburn, aburning 
sensation in the mouth or stomach, gas, nausea, body odor, diarrheawhen eating 
raw garlic.

To avoid these side effects ofraw garlic, you can chop or crush raw garlic 
first and eat it mixed with otherfoods such as honey, vinegar, etc.

The most beneficial component of garlic for the body is allicin.

Only when raw garlic is chopped or crushed and placed in the air for 10minutes, 
the alliin in garlic will be released, and allicin will be producedunder the 
action of alliinase.

The best way to get the benefits of garlic is to eat it raw. If garlic is 
cooked, allicinis easily lost during the heating process.

Allicin is a natural plant broad-spectrum antibiotic that fights alltypes of 
infections such as fungi, bacteria, parasites, and viruses.

In addition, allicin can alsoregulate blood sugar, lowerblood pressure, lower 
cholesterol, prevent arteriosclerosis, and is verybeneficial to the health of 
cardiovascular and cerebrovascular.

The data given by the World Health Organization is that you can eat 2 to 5 
grams of raw garlic every day, about 2 to 3 cloves ofgarlic.

Q3         Why is green colour clothused to cover construction sites?

A3          Sangram Sagar Fri

The buildings being built on the construction site are covered with greencloth 
because:

The first reason is that theworkers working on the buildingshould not be afraid 
when they look outside that they are at a high height sothat their attention 
should not be distracted.

The second reason is that thedust and soil fly more on thesite, due to which 
the people of the surrounding area suffer from it. So thiscloth acts as a kind 
of barrier.

And nowadays you must have seen on some big sites that they also apply the 
blue-colored iron sheet.NBCC (National Buildings Construction Corporation) has 
also made it mandatoryto install it. Only then do people follow their rule and 
apply them.

And this color is applied andcovered so that it can be seen from afar.

Q4         How do you estimate thecosts of building a house?

A4          Ultra Tech Cement India’sNo 1 Cement. Updated Sep 9

To build your own home, financial planning is extremely important. Youdon’t 
want to be in a situation where your home is incomplete because thefinances 
have gotten out of hand.

There are many variables that can impact your finances. So a sensible approach 
would be tochat with neighbours, relatives, friends, and find out how much they 
exceededfrom their initial budget and why.

Before you start, make sure to set aside money for stamp duty andregistration 
charges.

Discuss your building plan with your contractor. This will give you anidea of 
labour, construction material and contractor costs and allow you toadjust your 
household expenses in relation to your spending.

Before you close on a number,don’t forget the interiors. The cost of plumbing, 
tiling, painting, flooring, and furniture will need to be added toyour estimate.

Finally, keep an emergency fundfor the expenses you haven’t foreseen.

Q7         Why doesn't thegovernment build a skyscraper to house the homeless?

A7          Forrest Taylor learnedscholar Updated 27m

It is perhaps an inhumanestrategy to place the pooruniformly in supertall 
buildings(Evenfor homeless people). No man want to live in such a place.

Let's assume for a moment. If skyscrapers were built to house thehomeless, they 
would necessarily be very tall and dense, just as the picturesshown. The 
livingexperience in these buildings would be extremely poor. Because the people 
wholives here don't have enough money, the maintenance required for 
thebuildings would be difficult to carry out successfully. Buildings are 
difficult torepair after a number of years, elevators are difficult to 
maintain,demolition costs are high, and they would gradually degenerate into 
slums.

Most of the houses have nobalconies and the toilets are particularly small. 
Because of the high density, the distance between buildings becamesmaller. 
Secondly, a large number of people of all kinds gather together, andmany 
buildings would have B&B guesthouses, and all kinds of people go inand out of 
the place where you usually live, so the security is lower. You may have to 
wait along time for the elevator every day. In case of a fire, the risk is also 
veryhigh

Q8         How do we make table saltand common salt?

A8          Steven Haddock Studiedat York University (Canada)Sat

Salt is mined either fromnatural evaporation pans(like the the Great Salt Lake, 
which dries out each summer) or from underground minesthat used to be natural 
evaporation pans but got buried eons ago.

After the salt is mined, it’swet down so that the salt can be separated from 
the impurities (not necessary for things like road salt) and thenre-dehydrated 
and ground back down to smaller particles. 

Common table salt is alsosprinkled with iodine to prevent people from getting 
thyroid diseases and other disorders linked to iodine deficiency.

Salt mine in south western Ontario. The area was once covered by a largesea 
which then dried out, then got covered up.

Q9         If the temperature of thetap water is 26 °C, how much heat is needed 
to make the water boil?

A9          Douglas Porter ,Studying science for 60 years Answered 12m ago

You need to increase the temperature by 74 degrees, and then add moreheat to 
turn the 100-degree water into 100-degree steam. Even assuming thereare no 
losses, you can’tput figures to that unless you know the mass of the water 
(perhaps it wassomewhere else in the homework?) and the specific heat capacity 
of liquidwater, and the latent heat of vaporisation of water.

Suppose it took one Joule to raise one gram of water by 1 Kelvin (samesize 
degrees as Celsius — and you should note that I said “suppose”: that isn’tthe 
right figure) and you had 150 grams of water. Then you need 1 x 74 x 150Joules 
to raise the temperature to 100 degrees; that’s 11,100 Joules.

Then suppose it takes five Joules to change a gram of water from liquidto gas 
(it doesn’t); you need an additional 5 x 150 = 750 Joules to boil the150 grams 
of water.

So you need to look up the actualfigures and put them into my worked example, 
and then you’ll have the answer you want.

Q11              What mistakespeople do when cooking Maggi?

A11        Sangram Sagar 2h

1. People think that Maggiwill be made in two minutes. In two minutes even 
water doesnot boil properly. 'Becoming Maggi in two minutes' is a completely 
wrongnotion.

2. Cook Maggi only with Maggimasala. It is also a wrongnotion to stick to Maggi 
spices only and expect the taste. Adding vegetables, turmeric,salt, ground 
coriander, chili powder, oregano, etc. to Maggi enhances the tasteof Maggi.

3. Cooking Maggi too little ortoo much also spoils the taste. Due to less 
cooking, rawness in it and due to more boiling it becomes very rotten Maggi 
typeof vegetable.

4. Do not use mustard oil whilecooking Maggi. If you makeMaggi by adding 
butter, then the taste of Maggi will double.

6. If your brother or sister does not know how to make Maggi well and heis 
dependent on your kindness, then it is a very wrong thing to do a favor 
bymaking Maggi and to settle more than half of the Maggi yourself.Take this 
soupand eat noodles, Maggi.

Q12              Why are AssistProfs salaries in private universities/colleges 
only Rs. 25000 on average?Pursuing higher education has become farcical and 
useless. A 4th grade employeein the govt institution gets Rs. 30000/ 
50000/month.

A12        KanthaswamyBalasubramaniam Lawyer7h

Are you absolutely sure?

I know that an Associate Professor in IIT Chennai who earned Rs. 1,34,000/- per 
monthbecause he applied for a Housing Loan just a few months ago.

A Lab Assistant at IIT of around 5 years experience gets around Rs.40,000/- per 
month

The Median Salary of a Under10 years Lecturer in an Indian University is Rs. 
56,660/- per month

In Fact the Median Salary of a Teacher in a Metro City with 10 yearsexperience 
in a Private School which is at least 20 years old is Rs. 40,700/-per month

At least if you say Govt Of India - then it is fine because Govt of Indiahas 
DA, Emoluments etc and a Rs 25,000/- basic translates to around Rs. 64–80Kon 
hand salary.

Q13              Why don't modernscooters have the spare tire attached to its 
back?

A13        Sangram Sagar7h

There are many reasons for putting tires on the back of a scooter whichthe 
first and foremost reason is that pushing a punctured scooter is a very 
difficult taskbecause it is small before it settles down completely, 
whichrequires a lot of force. Is. Having a tire that can be easily replaced

The second major reason is saidto be that it was almost equal on both the front 
and rear of the scooter, dueto which 1 tire could be installed in any front and 
back and it was easily installed only through the toolsgiven in the scooter. 
Could go because earlier it was arranged in scooters.

But now the time has changed, in today's current circumstances, the scooter 
does not fit anymore,apart from this, there is a slight difference in the size 
of both the tires inthe present two-wheelers due to which the same tire cannot 
be fitted in both.Because now in the era of connectivity, people who make 
punctures easily arefound, so there is not much concern. That's why tires are 
not arranged in thatway in today's vehicles or in Scooty or scooters.

The old scooter used to supportthe tire and support system from behind, but now 
it is no longer needed. There are many reasons due to which sixes were usedon 
the back of the scooter, but now its use is becoming less and less due towhich 
better technology and better means of connectivity are available.

Q14              How can you tell ifa persimmon is ripe?

A14        Lucia Garcia Worked atHospitalsJan 1

Just like most fruit - Apersimmon is ripe when it has its reddish orange color 
and the skin hasa slight softness or plenty of softness.

Slice off a small amount of persimmons and taste. The ripe persimmons taste 
sweet,mild, and rich, not sour or bitter.

Unripe persimmons are slightly greenish and taste bitter and sour.

Generally, unripe persimmons will be ripe after being kept at roomtemperature 
for a few days.

Persimmon is a nutritious fruitthat contains sucrose, glucose,fructose, 
protein, carotene, vitamin C, citrulline, and minerals such aspotassium, iron, 
calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. Its mineral contentexceeds that of apples, 
pears, peach and other most fruits.

As the saying goes, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away."

However, when it comes to preventing heart disease, persimmons are farmore 
effective than apples. Persimmons are the king of fruits that arebeneficial to 
heart health.Some people with heart disease believe that “eatingan apple a day 
is not as good as eating a persimmon a day”.

The fruit  appears like a large Tomoto,But grown on a tree and not a bush
