Question 2242

The 'draw-off temperature' during cheddar cheese making (temperature at which whey is drained) is typically:

$15\text{–}18^{\circ}\text{C}$
$38\text{–}40^{\circ}\text{C}$✔️
$55\text{–}60^{\circ}\text{C}$
$25\text{–}28^{\circ}\text{C}$

Correct Answer Logic:

In cheddar making, after cutting, cooking, and cheddaring, the whey is drained ('pitched') and the curd is milled and salted at approximately $38\text{–}40^{\circ}\text{C}$. The cooking step (scalding) heats curd-whey mixture to $37\text{–}40^{\circ}\text{C}$ to promote syneresis before draining.

Biology QUESTION #7260

Question 2245

Which of the following is a flowering plant with root nodules containing filamentous nitrogen-fixing microorganisms?

Cicer arietinum
Casuarina equisetifolia✔️
Crotalaria juncea
Cycas revoluta

Correct Answer Logic:

Casuarina equisetifolia (a flowering plant/angiosperm) forms root nodules with Frankia, a filamentous actinomycete (not a typical rod-shaped bacterium). Cicer and Crotalaria form nodules with Rhizobium (non-filamentous). Cycas is a gymnosperm with coralloid roots harbouring cyanobacteria.

Mathematics QUESTION #4105

Question 2246

The absolute maximum value of $f(x,y)=xy-2x$ over the entire triangular region with vertices $(0,0),(4,0),(0,4)$ is:

$0$
$1$✔️
$4$
$8$

Correct Answer Logic:

Boundary analysis: Edge $y=0$: $f=-2x\leq0$. Edge $x=0$: $f=0$. Edge $y=4-x$: $f=-x^2+2x$, max at $x=1$ giving $f=1$. Vertex values: $f(0,0)=0$, $f(4,0)=-8$, $f(0,4)=0$. The absolute maximum is $\boxed{1}$ at $(1,3)$.

Tourism & Hospitality Management QUESTION #1617

Question 2247

The Tourism and Hospitality Laws course covers 'liabilities for lost and theft' as one of the 'other related laws in Pakistan.' Which legal principle most directly governs a hotel's liability for a guest's valuables?

The Antiquity Act
The innkeeper's liability under common law and relevant Pakistani provisions, which may limit the hotel's liability if safekeeping facilities were offered and not used✔️
Forest Act provisions
Wild Life protection regulations

Correct Answer Logic:

Module 5 of the Tourism and Hospitality Laws course covers 'Liabilities for lost and theft' under Pakistan's related laws. The legal basis derives from innkeeper liability under common law — which requires hotels to exercise due care over guests' property and may limit liability if the hotel offered (and the guest declined) the use of a safe or security facility.

Chemistry QUESTION #7366

Question 2248

Given Planck's constant $h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34}$ Js and speed of light $c = 3 \times 10^{17}$ nm s$^{-1}$, the wavelength (in nm) of a quantum of light with frequency $6 \times 10^{15}$ s$^{-1}$ closest to:

75
10
25
50✔️

Correct Answer Logic:

Formula: $\lambda = \dfrac{c}{\nu}$

$\lambda = \dfrac{3 \times 10^{17} \text{ nm s}^{-1}}{6 \times 10^{15} \text{ s}^{-1}} = 50$ nm

This wavelength (50 nm) lies in the extreme UV (EUV) region. Note: $c = 3\times10^8$ m/s $= 3\times10^{17}$ nm/s.

Education QUESTION #11689

Question 2251

Children who consistently remain outside the social circle of their class and are not included in peer groups are best described as:

Sociable type
Friendly type
Welcoming type
None of these✔️

Correct Answer Logic:

Children who are consistently excluded from or remain outside peer social circles are referred to as isolates or rejected/neglected children in sociometric terminology. Since none of the options A, B, or C (sociable, friendly, welcoming) describe this condition — in fact they describe the opposite — the correct answer is D — None of these.

Correct Answer: D — None of these (they are called isolated or socially rejected children).

Psychology QUESTION #9784

Question 2253

Character disorders such as obsessive-compulsive behaviour are believed to develop due to disturbed parent-child relationships during the:

Later oedipal phase✔️
Paranoid stage
Libido
None of these

Correct Answer Logic:

In psychoanalytic theory, control-related character disorders are linked to conflicts during the oedipal phase. Disturbed dynamics during this period create repressed, conflicted patterns expressed as character or obsessional disorders.

Civil Procedure QUESTION #5680

Question 2254

A plaintiff sues for $100,000. The jury returns a general verdict for the plaintiff for $50,000, but in response to a special interrogatory, the jury finds the defendant was not negligent. How may the court proceed under Rule 49(b)(3)?

The court must enter judgment on the $50,000 verdict.
The court may enter judgment according to the answers (for the defendant), direct the jury to further consider, or order a new trial.✔️
The court must order a new trial.
The court must enter judgment for the plaintiff but reduce the award further.

Correct Answer Logic:

Under Rule 49(b)(3), if the answers are consistent with each other but one or more is inconsistent with the general verdict, the court may enter judgment according to the answers, notwithstanding the general verdict, or take other specified actions.

Education QUESTION #6733

Question 2255

The concept of 'scaffolding' in instruction means:

Permanent support for all learners
Temporary support gradually removed as student competence increases✔️
Physical classroom structures
Rigid instructional sequences

Correct Answer Logic:

Scaffolding (Vygotsky) involves providing temporary support that's gradually withdrawn as learners develop independence. Like construction scaffolding, instructional scaffolds are temporary structures that enable learners to accomplish tasks beyond current independent capability, then are removed.

Aptitude QUESTION #11041

Question 2256

In a certain code, $24 \times 36 = 864$ and $15 \times 42 = 630$. What is $28 \times 35$ in this code?

$980$✔️
$840$
$960$
$720$

Correct Answer Logic:

The code represents normal multiplication: $24 \times 36 = 864$ and $15 \times 42 = 630$. So $28 \times 35 = 980$. This tests careful observation.

Bio-Technology QUESTION #10622

Question 2257

CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing achieves precise genome modification because:

Cas9 is an RNA polymerase that transcribes the guide RNA into a new gene
The guide RNA (gRNA) directs Cas9 nuclease to a specific genomic locus where it creates a double-strand break✔️
Cas9 methylates the target DNA sequence, silencing gene expression without cutting
The guide RNA acts as a ribosome to translate the edited gene directly

Correct Answer Logic:

CRISPR-Cas9 consists of: (1) a single guide RNA (sgRNA) with a 20-nt spacer complementary to the target DNA sequence, and (2) Cas9 nuclease, which binds the sgRNA and creates a blunt-ended double-strand break (DSB) adjacent to the PAM sequence (NGG for S. pyogenes Cas9). The DSB is repaired by NHEJ (creating insertions/deletions → gene knockout) or HDR (using a donor template → precise edit). Its programmability, efficiency, and precision revolutionised genome editing.

Maths QUESTION #7986

Question 2258

How many multiples of 9 that are less than 9999 are also perfect cubes?

5
6✔️
7
8

Correct Answer Logic:

Multiples of 9 that are perfect cubes: we need $n^3$ divisible by 9, i.e., $n^3$ divisible by $3^2$, which means $n$ divisible by 3.
Values: $n = 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18$ give $n^3 = 27, 216, 729, 1728, 3375, 5832$ — all less than 9999. That is 6 values.
