1. Convert 2100 to standard time.

• A. 12:00 PM
• B. 2:00 AM
• C. 9:00 PM
• D. 2:00 PM

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Military time is based on a 24-hour clock. To convert 2100 hours to standard time, subtract 1200 from the time if it is greater than or equal to 1300. In this case, 2100 - 1200 = 900, which corresponds to 9:00 PM in standard time. Choice A, 12:00 PM, is incorrect because 2100 is in the evening, not noon. Choice B, 2:00 AM, is incorrect as it represents the early morning hours. Choice D, 2:00 PM, is incorrect as it is in the afternoon, not the evening.

2. If the outside temperature is 59 degrees on the Fahrenheit scale, what is the approximate temperature on the Celsius scale?

• A. −9°C
• B. 15°C
• C. 23°C
• D. 87°C

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the formula: °C = (°F - 32) x 5/9. Substituting the Fahrenheit temperature of 59 degrees into the formula: °C = (59 - 32) x 5/9 = 27 x 5/9 = 135/9 = 15. Therefore, the approximate temperature on the Celsius scale is 15°C. Choice A is incorrect as it represents a negative temperature which is not the case here. Choice C and D are also incorrect as they do not match the calculated conversion from Fahrenheit to Celsius.

3. What is the meaning of Collusion?

• A. Cooperation
• B. Conspiracy
• C. Separation
• D. Rejection

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Conspiracy.' Collusion refers to a secret agreement or conspiracy, often for deceitful or illegal purposes. Choice A, 'Cooperation,' is incorrect as collusion implies a deceptive or dishonest agreement, not a genuine cooperation. Choice C, 'Separation,' is incorrect as it denotes the opposite of collusion, which involves working together secretly. Choice D, 'Rejection,' is unrelated to collusion, which involves secret cooperation for deceptive purposes.

4. What is the correct name of AgNO₃?

• A. Argent nitrous
• B. Argent oxide
• C. Silver nitrite
• D. Silver nitrate

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct name for AgNO₃ is silver nitrate. In chemical nomenclature, the element symbol Ag represents silver, and the polyatomic ion NO₃ is known as nitrate. Therefore, when the silver ion (Ag⁺) combines with the nitrate ion (NO₃⁻), the resulting compound is named silver nitrate (AgNO₃). Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the composition of AgNO₃. Argent nitrous (Choice A) and Argent oxide (Choice B) do not reflect the correct anion, and Silver nitrite (Choice C) uses a different anion altogether.

5. The formula for calculating ideal body weight (IBW) for men is IBW (kg) = 50 + 2.3 * (height in cm - 150). If a man is 180cm tall, what is his ideal body weight?

• A. 68kg
• B. 71kg
• C. 74kg
• D. 77kg

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: 1. Substitute the given height into the formula for calculating ideal body weight (IBW) for men: IBW (kg) = 50 + 2.3 * (180 - 150) IBW (kg) = 50 + 2.3 * 30 IBW (kg) = 50 + 69 IBW (kg) = 119 2. Therefore, the ideal body weight for a man who is 180cm tall is 119kg. 3. Among the given options, the closest value to 119kg is 71kg (option B). 4. Hence, the correct answer is B) 71kg.
