General Abilities QUESTION #4572
Question 1
The average of $x, y, z$ is $15$. What is $x + y + z$?
  • $15$
  • $30$
  • $45$โœ”๏ธ
  • Cannot determine
Correct Answer Logic:
If average = $15$, then $\frac{x+y+z}{3} = 15$, so $x+y+z = 45$

Journalism / Mass Communication QUESTION #6357
Question 2
According to the textbook, the FIRST regular English-language newspaper was published in which year and city?
  • London, 1605
  • Boston, 1690
  • London, 1621โœ”๏ธ
  • Paris, 1631
Correct Answer Logic:

There is considerable debate about what constitutes the world's “first” newspaper. The World Association of Newspapers recognises Relation (France, 1605) as the first newspaper. However, the first titled English-language private newspaper was The Corrant, published in London in 1621. The first American newspaper was Publick Occurrences, published in Boston in 1690, though it was suppressed after a single issue by colonial authorities. The first English daily newspaper was the Daily Courant, founded by Samuel Buckley on 11 March 1702. The question asks for “first regular English-language newspaper” โ€” this refers to The Corrant, London, 1621. Students must carefully distinguish between the first French newspaper (La Gazette, 1631), the first American newspaper (Publick Occurrences, Boston, 1690), and the first English daily (Daily Courant, 1702).

Boilers Mechanical Engineering QUESTION #2473
Question 4
The tensile strength \(S_{ut}\) of spring wire of diameter \(d\) is estimated by the power law \(S_{ut} = A/d^m\). For music wire, the exponent \(m \approx 0.163\). This means:
  • Strength is independent of wire diameter
  • Strength INCREASES as wire diameter DECREASES (smaller wire is stronger)โœ”๏ธ
  • Strength increases as wire diameter increases
  • Strength is linearly proportional to wire diameter
Correct Answer Logic:
Since \(S_{ut}=A/d^m\) with \(m>0\), smaller diameter wire has higher tensile strength due to more cold-drawing and work-hardening effect.

  • $21$
  • $27$

  • Atrial depolarizationโœ”๏ธ
  • Ventricular repolarization
  • Heart rest
Correct Answer Logic:
The P-wave indicates the electrical activity as the atria contract.

Correct Answer Logic:

Velocity: $v = \dfrac{ds}{dt} = 9t^2 + 14t + 5$

Acceleration: $a = \dfrac{dv}{dt} = 18t + 14$

At $t = 1\text{ s}$: $a = 18(1) + 14 = \mathbf{32\text{ m/s}^2}$

Uploaded by: Fani Warraich
Correct Answer Logic:

At the highest point, only horizontal velocity remains: $v_x = u\cos45ยฐ = \dfrac{u}{\sqrt{2}}$

$KE_{\text{top}} = \dfrac{1}{2}mv_x^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}m\cdot\dfrac{u^2}{2} = \dfrac{1}{2}\cdot\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2 = \mathbf{\dfrac{E}{2}}$

Chemistry QUESTION #7162
Question 12
Which of the following chemical equations is correctly balanced and shows the right products?
  • $[Mg(H_{2}O)_{6}]^{2+} + (EDTA)^{4-} \rightarrow [Mg(EDTA)]^{2-} + 6H_{2}O$โœ”๏ธ
  • $CuSO_{4} + 4KCN \rightarrow K_{2}[Cu(CN)_{4}] + K_{2}SO_{4}$
  • $Li_{2}O + 2KCl \rightarrow 2LiCl + K_{2}O$
  • $CO + 2H_{2} \xrightarrow{catalyst} CH_{3}OH$
Correct Answer Logic:
Option 1 is the correct representation of a complexometric reaction where the polydentate ligand EDTA replaces the water molecules coordinated to Magnesium. Note that the charge on the resulting complex is correctly balanced as $2 + (-4) = -2$.

Correct Answer Logic:
$Z_{pu,new} = Z_{pu,old} \times \frac{MVA_{base,new}}{MVA_{base,old}} \times \left(\frac{kV_{base,old}}{kV_{base,new}}\right)^2 = 0.05 \times \frac{100}{10} \times 1 = 0.5\,\text{pu}$.

Law QUESTION #9524
Question 15
A decree is passed jointly against B, C and D for Rs. 900,000, each being jointly and severally liable. B pays the entire Rs. 900,000 to the decree-holder A and fully satisfies the decree. B then seeks to recover proportionate contribution from C and D. Can B do so through the same execution proceedings?
  • No; once B pays, all rights are extinguished including B's right of contribution
  • Yes; B can apply for execution against C and D for contribution in the same proceedings
  • Yes; B is deemed a decree-holder to the extent of the other shares
  • No; B's right to recover contribution from C and D is by way of a separate suit; the decree between A and the judgment-debtors cannot be used by one judgment-debtor against another in executionโœ”๏ธ
Correct Answer Logic:
The execution proceedings under a decree are for the benefit of the decree-holder against judgment-debtors. One judgment-debtor who pays the full amount satisfies the decree, discharging the others. B's right of contribution from C and D arises from separate equitable or legal principles and must be pursued by a separate suit, not through the original execution proceedings.

Mathematics QUESTION #4121
Question 16
By Mean Value Theorem on $f(x) = e^x$, for $x > 0$, there exists $c \in (0, x)$ such that:
  • $e^x - 1 = e^c \cdot x$โœ”๏ธ
  • $e^x - 1 = x$
  • $e^x = 1 + cx$
  • $\frac{e^x - 1}{x} = c$
Correct Answer Logic:
MVT: $\frac{f(x) - f(0)}{x - 0} = f'(c) = e^c$. So $\frac{e^x - 1}{x} = e^c$, giving $e^x - 1 = xe^c$.

Economics QUESTION #1715
Question 17
Exchange rate misalignment โ€” where Pakistan's rupee was maintained at an artificially overvalued level for extended periods โ€” has historically produced which most economically damaging consequence?
  • Boosted export price competitiveness and attracted higher FDI inflows
  • Improved volume and value of remittance conversions into domestic currency
  • Erosion of export competitiveness, import substitution incentives, and accelerated depletion of foreign exchange reservesโœ”๏ธ
  • None of these
Correct Answer Logic:
An overvalued exchange rate makes Pakistan's exports artificially expensive in foreign markets (reducing export competitiveness) while making imports artificially cheap (incentivising over-importing). This structurally worsens the current account deficit and depletes foreign exchange reserves as the State Bank defends the peg. When the overvaluation eventually corrects โ€” as in 2018โ€“19 and 2022โ€“23 โ€” the resulting sharp depreciation triggers inflation and debt stock expansion. All three options (A), (B), and (C) as stated are negative, but (D) 'None of these' indicates options Aโ€“C are wrong; option (C) correctly states the actual implication.

Geography QUESTION #6334
Question 19
The concept of 'comparative advantage' in international trade, developed by David Ricardo, implies countries should:
  • Specialize in producing goods they produce most efficiently in absolute terms
  • Specialize in goods where they have the lowest opportunity cost relative to other countriesโœ”๏ธ
  • Produce everything domestically to avoid trade dependence
  • Export only technologically advanced products
Correct Answer Logic:
Comparative advantage states countries should specialize in producing goods where they have the lowest opportunity cost (what they sacrifice least to produce). Even if Country A produces everything more efficiently than Country B, both benefit from specialization and trade based on relative efficiency.
