CISA QUESTION #6863

In reviewing a software development life cycle, an auditor finds that security requirements are addressed only during final testing phase before production deployment. What is the MOST significant consequence?

Delayed security implementation
Security issues discovered late are expensive to fix and may require fundamental redesign✔️
Incomplete security coverage
Rushed implementation

Correct Answer Logic:

Security must be integrated throughout SDLC from requirements through design, development, and testing. Addressing security only at final testing means security flaws in architecture or design require expensive changes or workarounds. This 'bolted-on' security is less effective and more costly than security designed in from the start.

Question 903

The heat capacity of a calorimeter is determined using:

A bomb calorimeter
A known standard material✔️
Adiabatic temperature rise
None of these

Correct Answer Logic:

The heat capacity (calorimeter constant) of a calorimeter is determined by calibration using a known standard material — typically a substance with a well-characterised heat of combustion (e.g., benzoic acid). A known amount is burned/reacted, the temperature change is measured, and the calorimeter constant $C_{\text{cal}} = q / \Delta T$ is calculated.

Accounting & Finance QUESTION #9626

Question 905

Gross Profit is Rs. 40,000. Administrative expenses are Rs. 15,000, selling expenses Rs. 5,000, and financial expenses Rs. 5,000. There is also other income of Rs. 2,000. What is the Net Profit?

Rs. 15,000
Rs. 17,000✔️
Rs. 10,000
Rs. 12,000

Correct Answer Logic:

Net Profit = Gross Profit – Operating Expenses + Other Income. Operating expenses = 15,000 + 5,000 + 5,000 = Rs. 25,000. Operating Profit = 40,000 – 25,000 = Rs. 15,000. Add other income: 15,000 + 2,000 = Rs. 17,000.

Boilers Mechanical Engineering QUESTION #2412

Question 907

In fluid statics, the center of pressure of a submerged plane surface is:

Always above the centroid of the area
Always at or below the centroid of the area: $y_{cp}=y_{cg}+I_{cg}/(y_{cg}A) \geq y_{cg}$✔️
At the same depth as the centroid
Always at the bottom edge of the surface

Correct Answer Logic:

Center of pressure: $y_{cp}=y_{cg}+I_{cg}/(y_{cg}A)$. Since $I_{cg}>0$, we have $y_{cp}>y_{cg}$ — the center of pressure is always BELOW the centroid.

Non-derogation principle

Chemistry QUESTION #7153

Question 910

Which of the following pairs consist entirely of compounds that act as Lewis acids?

$PH_{3}$ and $SiCl_{4}$
$BCl_{3}$ and $AlCl_{3}$✔️
$PH_{3}$ and $BCl_{3}$
$AlCl_{3}$ and $SiCl_{4}$

Correct Answer Logic:

A Lewis acid is an electron-pair acceptor.

$BCl_{3}$ and $AlCl_{3}$ are electron-deficient molecules as the central atoms (B and Al) have only 6 electrons in their valence shell.
$PH_{3}$ is a Lewis base due to the lone pair on phosphorus.
$SiCl_{4}$ can act as a Lewis acid by expanding its octet, but $BCl_{3}$ and $AlCl_{3}$ are the most classic examples of electron-deficient Lewis acids.

Journalism / Mass Communication QUESTION #6413

Question 917

According to the textbook, the first public film screening in the Western world was held by the Lumière Brothers at which location and in which year?

Kinetoscope Parlour, New York City, USA, 1893
Grand Café, Paris, France, December 1895✔️
Watson Hotel, Bombay, India, July 1896
Nickelodeon Theatre, Pittsburgh, USA, 1905

Correct Answer Logic:

The textbook states: “The Lumière Brothers of France exhibited their short films in December 1895 at Grande Cafe, Paris.” This is widely recognised as the world's first public commercial film screening. Key film history milestones to distinguish:

1877: Eadweard Muybridge's sequential photos of a horse (establishing the optical principles)
1889: Thomas Edison developed the Kinetograph camera and Kinetoscope (peepshow viewer — for one person at a time)
1893: Kinetoscope marketed in penny arcades (NOT a public projection)
December 1895: Lumière Brothers' Cinématographe first public screening, Grand Café, Paris (the true birth of cinema as a group experience)
1896: Lumières brought films to India (Watson Hotel, Bombay, 7 July 1896)
1905: First movie theatre (nickelodeon) opened in Pittsburgh

The distinction between Edison's individual-viewer Kinetoscope and the Lumières' projected Cinématographe is crucial: only the latter created cinema as a shared social experience.
