Mathematics QUESTION #7456

Question 3

The distance of the point $(1, 3, -7)$ from the plane passing through the point $(1, -1, -1)$, having normal perpendicular to both the lines $\frac{x-1}{1} = \frac{y+2}{-2} = \frac{z-4}{3}$ and $\frac{x-2}{2} = \frac{y+1}{-1} = \frac{z+7}{-1}$, is:

$\frac{20}{\sqrt{74}}$
$\frac{10}{\sqrt{83}}$
$\frac{5}{\sqrt{83}}$
$\frac{10}{\sqrt{74}}$✔️

Correct Answer Logic:

The direction ratios of the two lines are $(1,-2,3)$ and $(2,-1,-1)$. The normal to the plane is perpendicular to both, so it's their cross product: $\vec{n} = \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 1 & -2 & 3 \\ 2 & -1 & -1 \end{vmatrix} = \hat{i}(2-(-3)) - \hat{j}(-1-6) + \hat{k}(-1-(-4)) = 5\hat{i} + 7\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}$. The plane equation through $(1,-1,-1)$ with normal $(5,7,3)$ is $5(x-1) + 7(y+1) + 3(z+1) = 0$, which gives $5x+7y+3z+5 = 0$. Distance from $(1,3,-7)$ is $\frac{|5(1)+7(3)+3(-7)+5|}{\sqrt{25+49+9}} = \frac{|5+21-21+5|}{\sqrt{83}} = \frac{10}{\sqrt{83}}$.

Placed only at the supports
Distributed throughout the slab in both directions

Higher in grade than the main steel

Correct Answer Logic:

In one-way slabs, reinforcement is provided in the direction perpendicular to the main flexural reinforcement to resist stresses from temperature changes and concrete shrinkage.

Question 7

What does CRT stand for in display technologies?

Crystal Ray Tube
Cathode Ray Tube✔️
Cabin Ray Tube
Carbon Ray Tube

Correct Answer Logic:

CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) is a vacuum tube that fires electron beams onto a phosphorescent screen to create images. CRTs were the dominant display technology for TVs and computer monitors from the 1950s through the early 2000s, before being replaced by flat-panel LCD, LED, plasma, and OLED displays.

Question 8

The building element that transfers loads from the roof and upper floors to the foundation, and works primarily in axial compression, is called:

Beam
Column✔️
Slab
Lintel

Correct Answer Logic:

A column is a vertical structural member that transfers compressive loads (from floors, roof, beams) downward to the foundation.

Columns work primarily in axial compression.
A beam is a horizontal member that carries loads in bending and shear.
A slab is a flat horizontal plate transferring loads to beams/walls.
A lintel is a horizontal beam over an opening (door, window) carrying the load above it.

In architectural design, column proportioning and spacing (bay size) fundamentally shapes the spatial layout of a building.

Question 9

The phase of mitosis in which chromosomes align at the cell's equator is called:

Anaphase
Telophase
Metaphase✔️
Prophase

Correct Answer Logic:

During metaphase (the middle phase of mitosis), chromosomes become maximally condensed and are aligned along the cell's equatorial plane (metaphase plate) by spindle fibres attached to the centromeres (kinetochores). This alignment ensures accurate segregation of sister chromatids to the two daughter cells in the subsequent anaphase.

Bio-Technology QUESTION #10572

Question 10

A cDNA library differs from a genomic library in that it:

Contains only regulatory sequences from the genome
Is constructed from mRNA reverse-transcribed into DNA and lacks introns✔️
Represents only coding sequences from the chromosome without replication
Contains larger DNA inserts than a genomic library

Correct Answer Logic:

A cDNA library is constructed by reverse-transcribing mRNA into complementary DNA (cDNA) using reverse transcriptase. Because mRNA is already processed (spliced), cDNA lacks introns and represents only expressed genes. This is critical when cloning eukaryotic genes into prokaryotic hosts (which lack splicing machinery). A genomic library contains all DNA (exons + introns + non-coding regions).

Color
Hilum and Striations✔️
Weight
Taste

Correct Answer Logic:

Sociology QUESTION #1670

Question 13

The theoretical concept of 'hegemonic masculinity,' which examines how a dominant form of masculinity is culturally exalted and reproduced within a hierarchy of masculinities to sustain patriarchal social arrangements, was most centrally developed to address which sociological problem?

Explaining how capitalist ideology maintains class hegemony through gender norms
Analyzing how gender inequality is reproduced through the privileging of certain forms of masculinity over others and over femininities
Studying the internal power dynamics and subordination relationships among competing configurations of masculinity✔️
Critiquing the functionalist assumption that gender roles are biologically determined and socially functional

Correct Answer Logic:

Hegemonic masculinity, developed primarily by R.W. Connell (building on Gramsci's concept of hegemony), describes the culturally dominant form of masculinity that legitimizes men's dominance over women and over subordinated masculinities. It is a relational concept focused on the structural reproduction of gender hierarchy through the valorization of particular masculine ideals.

Ibn-e-Khaldun's concept of 'Asabiya' refers primarily to:

Individual rationality
Group solidarity and social cohesion✔️
Economic self-interest
Religious dogma

Correct Answer Logic:

Asabiya denotes the social cohesion/solidarity that binds a group, especially tribal or kin-based groups.

Question 15

In the decimal system (base-10), which statement is CORRECT?

You can use digits 0 through 8 only (9 digits total)
You can use digits 0 through 9 (10 digits total)✔️
You can use digits 1 through 10 (10 digits total)
You can use digits 0 through 10 (11 digits total)

Correct Answer Logic:

In the decimal system, there are exactly 10 possible digit symbols ranging from zero (0) to nine (9). The number 10 itself is NOT a single digit — it is composed of two digits (1 and 0). This is why the system is called 'base-10'.

Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics QUESTION #3843

Question 20

The molecular weight of lithium carbonate ($\text{Li}_2\text{CO}_3$) is $73.89$ with Li atomic weight $= 6.95$. How many millimol of lithium ions are present in a $300$ mg tablet?

$2.46$ mmol
$4.06$ mmol
$8.12$ mmol✔️
$12.18$ mmol

Correct Answer Logic:

Moles of $\text{Li}_2\text{CO}_3 = \dfrac{300}{73.89} = 4.06\ \text{mmol}$. Each formula unit contains $2\ \text{Li}^+$ ions, therefore Li $= 4.06 \times 2 = 8.12\ \text{mmol}$.
