Question 522

Find the number of common tangents to the circles $x^2+y^2-4x-6y-12=0$ and $x^2+y^2+6x+18y+26=0$.

1
2
3✔️
4

Correct Answer Logic:

Circle 1: centre $C_1=(2,3)$, $r_1=\sqrt{4+9+12}=5$.

Circle 2: centre $C_2=(-3,-9)$, $r_2=\sqrt{9+81-26}=8$.

Distance $|C_1C_2|=\sqrt{(2+3)^2+(3+9)^2}=\sqrt{25+144}=\sqrt{169}=13$.

Since $|C_1C_2|=13=r_1+r_2=5+8$, the circles are externally tangent. Externally tangent circles have exactly 3 common tangents.

Administration QUESTION #9560

Question 526

A government department has received audit objections stating that it spent public funds without following prescribed financial rules. The Auditor General prepares a report. What is the correct constitutional pathway for this report, and what body reviews it for accountability?

The report goes to the Finance Ministry which investigates and takes disciplinary action; no legislative body is involved in routine audit findings
The Auditor General submits accounts to the President (federation) or Governors (provinces) who present them to the respective assemblies; the Public Accounts Committee reviews and holds the executive accountable✔️
The report is sent directly to the Supreme Court which issues directions for recovery of misused funds under its original jurisdiction
The National Economic Council reviews audit reports annually and directs Planning Commission to adjust future development allocations accordingly

Correct Answer Logic:

Article 169 of the Constitution gives the Auditor General the function of auditing public accounts. Accounts are submitted to the President (federally) or Governors (provincially) who place them before their respective legislatures. The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) — a parliamentary committee — then examines the audit findings and calls on departmental heads to explain deviations, making this a legislative accountability mechanism.

Education QUESTION #6869

Question 528

A new teacher notices that students frequently misbehave during transitions between activities. According to effective classroom management principles, what is the most likely root cause and the most appropriate corrective strategy?

The students are defiant by nature; strict punitive measures should be applied immediately
Poor transition management due to lack of pre-planned filler activities and unclear routines✔️
The seating arrangement is inappropriate and must be changed
The lesson content is too advanced for the students' age level

Correct Answer Logic:

Discipline problems most commonly arise during transitions because of 'dead time' — unstructured gaps between activities. Effective classroom managers pre-plan filler activities, establish clear transition routines, and ensure lesson plans account for these gaps. Blame on student character or seat arrangements misidentifies the real cause.
