medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
Since the salary increases by #36 after every 6 months
: 2 years and 8 months imply an increase of five times only:
36 * 5 → #180
His salary then = initial salary + increment
= 540 + 180
= #720

Solution
The diagram shown represents a block-and-tackle pulley system on which an effort of W Newtons supports a load of 120.0N. If the efficiency of the machine is 40, then the value of W is?
Attached Figure / Diagram
A
28.0
B
48.0N
C
233.0N
D
50.0N
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Given Data:
Efficiency = 40% Load = 120N, V.R = 6 (Number of Pulleys)
Efficiency = \(\frac{M.A}{V.R} * 100\)
40 = \(\frac{M.A}{6} * 100\)
6 * 40 = 100 M.A
M.A = \(\frac{240}{100}\) → 2.4
Where M.A = \(\frac{Load}{Effort}\)
2.4 = \(\frac{120}{Effort}\)
: Effort = \(\frac{120}{2.4}\) → 50N

A
√2km N 45°E
B
1km N 30°E
C
1km N 15°E
D
√2km N 60°E
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
His movements 1km due east and then 1 km due north make a Right-Angled Triangle.
Using Pythagoras' theorem;
The Resultant becomes the Hypotenuse [h]
Hyp\(^2\) = Adj\(^2\) + \Opp(^2\)
Hyp\(^2\) = 1\(^2\) + 1\(^2\)
Hyp\(^2\) = 2 → Hyp = \sqrt2
: Resultant = \sqrt2
DIRECTION TAN Ø = \(\frac{OPP}{ADJ}\)
TAN Ø = \(\frac{1}{1}\)
Ø = TAN\(^{-1}\) [1]
Ø= 45^\circ
Displacement is \sqrt2km N 45^\circE

Z which is electrochemical equivalent of Ag = 0.0012coulomb
t = 5mins → 5 * 60 = 300secs.
Using M =Z * I * t
make I the subject of the formula
I = \(\frac{M}{Z * t}\) → \(\frac{36}{0.0012 * 300}\)
Current (I) = 100A

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
V = -6cm
M = 0.6cm
Recall m = \(\frac{V}{U}\)
U = \(\frac{V}{M}\)
U = \(\frac{6}{0.6}\)
U = 10
\(\frac{1}{U}\) + \(\frac{1}{V}\) = \(\frac{1}{F}\)
\(\frac{1}{10}\) + \(\frac{1}{-6}\) = \(\frac{1}{F}\)
\(\frac{-4}{60}\) = \(\frac{1}{F}\)

Solution
Which of these sources of water may likely contain the least concentration of Ca\(^{2+}\) and Mg\(^{2+}\)?
A
Spring water
B
River water
C
Tap water
D
Sea water
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Tap water is likely to contain less Ca\(^{2+}\) and Mg\(^{2+}\). The reason is because looking through all the given options, spring water, river water and sea water are natural water that has not undergone any treatment. Conversely, it is believed that before tap water is distributed for consumption, it must have been treated, thereby reducing the Ca\(^{2+}\) and Mg\(^{2+}\) content in the water.
