General Knowledge QUESTION #11591

Question 7407

Which computer component performs arithmetic operations like addition and subtraction?

Control Unit
Registers
Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU)✔️
Cache Memory

Correct Answer Logic:

The ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) performs all arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) and logical operations (AND, OR, NOT, XOR, comparisons) within the CPU. The Control Unit directs operations; Registers temporarily store operands; Cache speeds up memory access.

MBBS QUESTION #10277

Question 7410

A patient with syringomyelia presents with loss of pain and temperature sensation in a 'cape-like' distribution over the shoulders and upper limbs, while vibration and proprioception (dorsal column function) remain intact. This selective loss is best explained by damage to:

The decussating fibers of the lateral spinothalamic tract as they cross in the anterior white commissure near the syrinx✔️
Both dorsal columns bilaterally, sparing all other tracts
Both corticospinal tracts bilaterally
The dorsal root ganglia bilaterally, sparing the spinal cord itself

Correct Answer Logic:

A syrinx (fluid-filled cavity) typically expands in the central spinal cord, first damaging the decussating spinothalamic fibers crossing in the anterior white commissure at that level, causing a segmental, bilateral loss of pain/temperature sensation while sparing the more peripherally located dorsal columns — the classic 'cape-like' or 'suspended' sensory loss.

CISA QUESTION #6830

Question 7411

An organization implements a balanced scorecard for IT performance measurement. The scorecard focuses exclusively on IT operational metrics (uptime, ticket resolution time, system performance) without including business value or customer satisfaction measures. What is the PRIMARY limitation?

Incomplete operational coverage
Failure to measure IT's contribution to business objectives and stakeholder value✔️
Insufficient technical detail
Over-emphasis on quantitative metrics

Correct Answer Logic:

The balanced scorecard methodology requires multiple perspectives including financial, customer, internal processes, and learning/growth. Focusing only on operational IT metrics fails to measure whether IT is delivering business value, supporting strategic objectives, or meeting stakeholder needs—the fundamental purpose of a balanced scorecard.

Education QUESTION #6696

Question 7413

A teacher notices that while explaining a mathematical procedure, students grasp the concept but struggle with execution. According to instructional design principles, which model would be MOST appropriate for this specific scenario?

Advance Organizer Model
Task Analysis Model✔️
Concept Analysis Model
Discovery Learning Model

Correct Answer Logic:

Task analysis model is specifically designed for teaching procedures and step-by-step processes. While advance organizer and concept analysis models excel at teaching concepts and relationships, task analysis breaks down complex procedures into manageable steps, making it ideal when students understand the 'what' but struggle with the 'how'.

Chemistry QUESTION #7110

Question 7415

Given the half-cell reactions:
1. $Mn^{2+} + 2e^{-} \rightarrow Mn$; $E^{0} = -1.18\text{ V}$
2. $Mn^{3+} + e^{-} \rightarrow Mn^{2+}$; $E^{0} = +1.51\text{ V}$
Determine the $E^{0}$ for the disproportionation reaction $3Mn^{2+} \rightarrow Mn + 2Mn^{3+}$ and its feasibility.

-0.33 V; non-spontaneous
-0.33 V; spontaneous
-2.69 V; non-spontaneous✔️
-2.69 V; spontaneous

Correct Answer Logic:

The target reaction is $3Mn^{2+} \rightarrow Mn + 2Mn^{3+}$. This is the sum of:
Reduction: $Mn^{2+} + 2e^{-} \rightarrow Mn$ ($E^{0}_{red} = -1.18\text{ V}$)
Oxidation: $2Mn^{2+} \rightarrow 2Mn^{3+} + 2e^{-}$ ($E^{0}_{ox} = -1.51\text{ V}$)
$E^{0}_{cell} = E^{0}_{cathode} - E^{0}_{anode} = -1.18 - 1.51 = -2.69\text{ V}$. Since $E^{0}_{cell}$ is negative, the reaction is non-spontaneous.

Mathematics QUESTION #6011

Question 7416

Identify the curve from the family defined by $(x^2-y^2)\,dx + 2xy\,dy = 0$ that passes through the point $(1,1)$.

A circle centred on the $x$-axis
An ellipse with major axis along the $y$-axis
A circle centred on the $y$-axis✔️
A hyperbola with transverse axis along the $x$-axis

Correct Answer Logic:

Rewrite: $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{y^2-x^2}{2xy}$. This is a homogeneous ODE. Let $y=vx$:

$\frac{1-v^2}{2v}dx + x\,dv/... $

After solving, the general solution is $x^2 + y^2 = Cy$ (circles with centres on the $y$-axis).

Substituting $(1,1)$: $1+1=C\cdot1 \Rightarrow C=2$, giving $x^2+y^2=2y$, i.e. $x^2+(y-1)^2=1$.

This is a circle centred on the $y$-axis at $(0,1)$.

Electronics Engineering QUESTION #11693

Question 7418

When testing a capacitor with a digital multimeter set to capacitance mode, the reading fluctuates wildly and never stabilises. The most likely cause is:

The capacitor is within tolerance
The capacitor has excessive equivalent series resistance (ESR)✔️
The capacitor is open-circuited
The capacitor value exceeds the meter range

Correct Answer Logic:

Unstable, fluctuating capacitance readings are a classic symptom of high ESR in an electrolytic capacitor. High ESR is caused by dried-out or degraded electrolyte, corrosion, or age. A dedicated ESR meter gives a more definitive diagnosis. An open capacitor reads OL (overload); an in-range good cap gives a stable reading.
