1. What is three tenths of 90?

• A. 18
• B. 45
• C. 27
• D. 36

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find three tenths of 90, you need to multiply 90 by 0.3 (since three tenths equals 0.3). Therefore, 90 * 0.3 = 27. This calculation shows that the correct answer is 27. Choice A (18), choice B (45), and choice D (36) are incorrect as they do not represent three tenths of 90.

2. For steady, incompressible flow through a pipe, the mass flow rate (ṁ) is related to the fluid density (ρ), cross-sectional area (A), and average velocity (v) via the continuity equation:

• A. ṁ cannot be determined without additional information
• B. ṁ = ρvA
• C. Bernoulli's principle is solely applicable here
• D. The equation of state for the specific fluid is required

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The continuity equation for steady, incompressible flow states that the mass flow rate is the product of the fluid's density, velocity, and cross-sectional area. Hence, ṁ = ρvA. Choice A is incorrect because the mass flow rate can be determined using the given formula. Choice C is incorrect as Bernoulli's principle does not directly relate to the mass flow rate calculation. Choice D is incorrect as the equation of state is not needed to calculate the mass flow rate in this scenario.

3. In a phospholipid molecule, the head:

• A. Is hydrophilic
• B. Is hydrophobic
• C. Is on the inner side of the layer
• D. Both A and C

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The head of a phospholipid is hydrophilic (water-loving) and is located on the outer side of the lipid bilayer, interacting with water molecules. This arrangement positions the hydrophobic tails inward, away from water. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choice A is incorrect because the head is hydrophilic, not hydrophobic. Choice B is incorrect as the head is on the outer side, not the inner side of the layer.

4. What type of radiation is high-energy electromagnetic radiation that lacks charge and mass?

• A. Beta
• B. Alpha
• C. Gamma
• D. Delta

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Gamma radiation is a form of high-energy electromagnetic radiation that does not possess charge or mass. This type of radiation is commonly used in various fields due to its penetrating ability and lack of charge or mass, making it different from alpha and beta radiation, which consist of charged particles. Therefore, the correct answer is C - Gamma. Choices A and B are incorrect as they refer to alpha and beta radiation, which are composed of charged particles. Choice D, Delta, is not a type of radiation.

5. In his stamp collection, Bruno has 15 more stamps from Europe than from Africa, and 18 more stamps from Asia than from Africa. If he has 27 stamps from Europe, how many Asian stamps does he have?

• A. 12
• B. 22
• C. 30
• D. 40

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Since Bruno has 27 stamps from Europe, which is 15 more than from Africa, he must have 27 - 15 = 12 stamps from Africa. Since he also has 18 more stamps from Asia than from Africa, he must have 12 + 18 = 30 stamps from Asia. Therefore, Bruno has 30 Asian stamps. Choice A (12) is the number of stamps Bruno has from Africa, not Asia. Choices B (22) and D (40) are not derived from the correct calculations based on the given information.
