1. Solve for x if x=11. x+(44/2x)

• A. 2.5
• B. 33
• C. 55
• D. 13

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Substitute x=11 into the expression: 11 + (44 / 2*11) = 11 + (44 / 22) = 11 + 2 = 13 Therefore, the correct answer is 13. Choice A (2.5) is incorrect as the correct result is 13, not 2.5. Choice B (33) is incorrect because it does not result from the given expression. Choice C (55) is incorrect as it does not match the calculated value. Choice D (13) is incorrect because the correct solution is 13, not 2.5.

2. If an investment earns 5% interest annually, how much interest will it earn in 1 year on a principal of $1,000?

• A. $40
• B. $50
• C. $60
• D. $55

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: $50. To calculate the interest earned on an investment with a 5% interest rate on a principal of $1,000, you simply multiply the principal amount by the interest rate. 5% of $1,000 is $50. Therefore, the investment will earn $50 in interest in 1 year. Choice A, $40, is incorrect because it represents 4% interest instead of 5%. Choice C, $60, is incorrect because it overestimates the interest earned. Choice D, $55, is incorrect as it does not accurately reflect the 5% interest on the principal amount.

3. Which of these dates is represented by the Roman numeral MDXVI?

• A. 1106
• B. 1116
• C. 1506
• D. 1516

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The Roman numeral MDXVI translates to 1516 in Arabic numerals. The Roman numeral 'M' represents 1000, 'D' represents 500, 'X' represents 10, and 'VI' represents 6, which adds up to 1516. Therefore, the correct answer is 1516. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not match the Roman numeral MDXVI.

4. The Reynolds number (Re) is a dimensionless quantity used to characterize:

• A. Fluid density
• B. Flow regime (laminar vs. turbulent)
• C. Surface tension effects
• D. Buoyancy force magnitude

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The Reynolds number is a dimensionless quantity used to characterize the flow regime, specifically whether it is laminar (smooth) or turbulent (chaotic). It depends on the velocity of the fluid, its characteristic length (such as pipe diameter), and its viscosity. A low Reynolds number indicates laminar flow, while a high Reynolds number suggests turbulence. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because the Reynolds number is not related to fluid density, surface tension effects, or buoyancy force magnitude.

5. If both parents have polydactylism, what percentage of their offspring is predicted to manifest the anomaly?

• A. 25%
• B. 50%
• C. 75%
• D. 100%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: When both parents have polydactylism, they each possess at least one dominant allele for polydactylism. Through a Punnett square analysis, it can be determined that 50% of their offspring will inherit the dominant allele from both parents. This results in a 100% chance of manifesting the anomaly (2 out of 4 possibilities). Therefore, 50% of the offspring are predicted to manifest the anomaly. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the principles of Mendelian genetics and Punnett square analysis.
