Solution
According to the passage Nigeria used to be the be the world's biggest producer of
A
groundnuts
B
palm oil
C
rubber
D
groundnuts and columbites
E
palm kernels, groundnuts and cocoa
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
Groundnuts: “In 1968 Nigeria was the world biggest producer of groundnuts (averaging 712,600 tonnes a year)”
Columbite: “...and the biggest producer of columbite.”
Palm oil: “...seventy per cent of the world’s export of palm oil” – Nigeria supplied most of the exports, but this does not necessarily mean it was the biggest producer.
Rubber: Nigeria produced rubber, but there's no indication it was the biggest producer.
Cocoa: “the second producer of cocoa ... after Ghana”
Palm kernels: “supplied half the world’s export of palm kernels” – again, export doesn’t mean production. ❌

Reading Comprehension, Summary & Composition
Solution
Select the statement supported by the passage
A
Ghana produced more cocoa than Nigeria
B
oil palm and timber were Nigeria's most important export
C
the most important industry in Nigeria was the livestock industry
D
Nigerian forests covered 310, 800 square kilometres and produced about 1.132 million cubic metres of timber a year
E
oil palm and rubber trees are always grown in plantations
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The text states that in 1968, Nigeria was the "second producer of cocoa (203, 600 tonnes) after Ghana". This implies that Ghana was the top producer and produced more cocoa than Nigeria. The passage mentions oil palm and timber exports, but it does not claim they were Nigeria's "most important" export.
The text also calls livestock an "ancient livestock industry", but does not label it as the "most important industry". The passage also mentions "Nigeria forests", whereas the option says "Nigerian forests". More importantly, option a is the primary intended key deduction regarding comparative production.
The text states oil palm grows "wild and in plantation" and rubber was grown "by peasant farmers and, increasingly in plantation", so they are not always grown in plantations.

Elasticity, Density, Pressure & Fluids
Solution
The hatch door of a submarine has an area of 0.5m2. The specific gravity of sea water is 1.03. Assume that g = 10ms-1,and neglect the atmospheric pressure. The force exerted by the sea water on the hatch door at a depth of 200m is
A
1.03 x 105N
B
1.03 x 104Nm-2
C
1.06 x 105Nm-2
D
2.06 x 106N
E
1.03 x 103N
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option E
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Pressure in liquid = e x h x g
Pressure in solid = \(\frac{force}{area}\)
\(\frac{force}{area}\) = e x h x g
force = 0.5 x 10 x 200 x 1.03
= 1030N

Solution
The tyre pressure of a car was found to be 150cmHg in the morning at a temperature of 27^\circC. Hard driving in the afternoon raised the temperature of the tyres to 57^\circC. The tyre pressure had by the afternoon was?
A
increased by 15.0cm Hg
B
decreased by 15.0cm Hg
C
increased by 22.50cm
D
decreased by 22.50cm Hg
E
remained constant
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
\(\frac{P_1}{T_1}\) = \(\frac{P_2}{T_2}\) at constant volume
\(\frac{150}{27 + 273}\) = \(\frac{P_1}{57 + 273}\)
P2 = 165cmHg
