A 5 m long Aluminium tie rod of cross-section 0.20 m × 0.04 m is subjected to a tensile force induced by its self-weight of 21.20 kg/m considering gravitational acceleration of 10 \(m/s^2\). If tensile Young's modulus of Aluminium is 70,000 MPa, the maximum tensile strain in the rod is______ \(\times \,10^{-6}\) (rounded off to two decimal places).

An individual chooses a transport mode for a particular trip based on three attributes i.e., cost of journey (X), In-vehicle travel time to reach destination (Y), and Out-of-vehicle time taken to access mode at respective stops (Z). The values for these attributes for three modes Rail, Bus and Para-transit are given in the table. If the general utility (U) equation is \( U = - 0.5 \times X - 0.3 \times Y - 0.4 \times Z \), using the Logit model, the estimated probability of choosing Bus is _________ (rounded off to two decimal places).
