Question 3182

What is the L.C.M. of 25, 30, 35 and 40?

3800
4200✔️
4400
None

Correct Answer Logic:

To find the L.C.M., we use prime factorization:

$25 = 5^2$
$30 = 2 \times 3 \times 5$
$35 = 5 \times 7$
$40 = 2^3 \times 5$

L.C.M. $= 2^3 \times 3 \times 5^2 \times 7 = 8 \times 3 \times 25 \times 7 = 4200$

Ability / HR / Governance / Special Education QUESTION #5644

Question 3183

Under the GFR principles enforced by the PAO the principle of 'Prudence' requires that expenditure must not be prima facie more than the occasion demands. A government servant incurs lavish hospitality expenditure at a public function claiming it is within the budget allocation. Which principle is MOST directly violated even if funds are available?

Limitations — because actual expenditure may approach the budget allocation
Prudence — because every government servant must exercise the same vigilance over public funds as a person of ordinary prudence would over their own money✔️
Public Advantage — because the expenditure benefits a section of the community
Propriety — because high standards of financial propriety require formal approval

Correct Answer Logic:

Prudence directly applies: expenditure must not be prima facie more than the occasion demands and every government servant must exercise the same vigilance over public funds as a person of ordinary prudence would over their own money. Lavish hospitality directly contradicts this standard even if within budget.

Education QUESTION #6781

Question 3184

Which of the following BEST explains why portfolios have very low reliability as an assessment tool compared to standardized tests?

Portfolios always favor high-ability students because they choose their own best work
Portfolio scoring lacks the standardized criteria, uniform conditions, and objective scoring procedures that characterize reliable measurement — different assessors apply different criteria to different content✔️
Portfolios contain too many items, which statistically reduces internal consistency
Portfolios are only valid for formative purposes and reliability is not applicable to them

Correct Answer Logic:

Reliability requires consistency across administrations, scorers, and conditions. Portfolios are diverse in content (student-selected), judged subjectively by different assessors using loosely defined criteria, and lack uniform conditions. All of these factors introduce variability into scores, which by definition reduces reliability. This is listed as a known weakness of portfolios.

Portal vein, hepatic artery proper, and common bile duct✔️
Splenic artery, splenic vein, and pancreatic duct

MBBS QUESTION #10212

Question 3190

A patient with gastric carcinoma develops a firm, enlarged left supraclavicular lymph node (Virchow's node/Troisier's sign). This distant metastasis reaches the neck via which lymphatic route?

The thoracic duct, which drains into the venous system at the left venous angle (junction of left subclavian and internal jugular veins)✔️
Direct hematogenous spread only, bypassing the lymphatic system
The right lymphatic duct
Retrograde flow through the inferior vena cava

Correct Answer Logic:

The thoracic duct drains lymph from the abdomen (including gastric lymphatics), lower limbs, and left side of the thorax/head/neck, emptying into the venous system at the left venous angle; malignant cells can travel retrogradely or lodge here, producing the classic left supraclavicular (Virchow's) node in abdominal malignancy.

Question 3198

The Milk to Acid to Amyl Alcohol ratio in the standard Gerber test is:

$10\;\text{mL}$ milk : $5\;\text{mL}\;\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4$
$11\;\text{mL}$ milk : $10\;\text{mL}\;\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4$ : $1\;\text{mL}$ amyl alcohol✔️
$10\;\text{mL}$ milk : $1\;\text{mL}$ amyl alcohol only
$1\;\text{mL}$ milk : $10\;\text{mL}\;\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4$

Correct Answer Logic:

Standard Gerber method: $10\;\text{mL}\;\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4$ ($d = 1.820\text{–}1.825\;\text{g/mL}$) $+ 11\;\text{mL}$ milk $+ 1\;\text{mL}$ amyl alcohol in a Gerber butyrometer.

Mathematics QUESTION #11211

Question 3200

Which of the following is an ideal of $\mathbb{R}$?

$\mathbb{Z}$
$\{0\}$✔️
$\mathbb{C}$
$\mathbb{Q}$

Correct Answer Logic:

An ideal $I$ of a ring $R$ must satisfy: (i) $(I,+)$ is a subgroup, and (ii) for all $r\in R$, $a\in I$: $ra\in I$ and $ar\in I$. In $\mathbb{R}$ (a field), the only ideals are $\{0\}$ and $\mathbb{R}$ itself. $\{0\}$ is the trivial ideal. $\mathbb{Z}$ and $\mathbb{Q}$ are subrings but not ideals (e.g. $\pi\cdot 1 = \pi \notin\mathbb{Z}$).
