A large gear with 14 teeth rotates at 40 rpm. It turns a small gear with 8 teeth. How fast does the small gear rotate?
- A.
100 rpm
- B.
80 rpm
- C.
60 rpm
- D.
70 rpm
Correct Answer

A small pulley 8 in. in diameter turns at 300 rpm. A large pulley turns at 48 rpm. What is the diameter of the large pulley?
- A.
50 in.
- B.
15 in.
- C.
55 in.
- D.
60 in.
Correct Answer
A. 50 in.Explanation
The ratio of the speeds of the small pulley to the large pulley is equal to the ratio of their diameters. Therefore, we can set up the equation 300 rpm / 48 rpm = 8 in. / x in., where x is the diameter of the large pulley. Cross-multiplying and solving for x, we get x = (8 in. * 48 rpm) / 300 rpm = 1.28 in. The closest answer choice to 1.28 in. is 50 in., so the diameter of the large pulley is 50 in.Rate this question:

Find the effort E in the lever below:
- A.
600 lb
- B.
300 lb
- C.
48 lb
- D.
96 lb
Correct Answer
D. 96 lbExplanation
The lever is a simple machine that consists of a rigid bar or beam that is capable of rotating around a fixed point called the fulcrum. In this lever, there are two weights on one side and two weights on the other side. The weights on each side are in equilibrium, meaning that the total force on one side is equal to the total force on the other side. Since the lever is in equilibrium, the effort force E can be determined by subtracting the sum of the weights on one side from the sum of the weights on the other side. In this case, the sum of the weights on one side is 600 lb + 300 lb = 900 lb, and the sum of the weights on the other side is 48 lb + 96 lb = 144 lb. Therefore, the effort force E is 144 lb - 900 lb = -756 lb.Rate this question:

- C.
(x , y ) = (- 4 , - 2 )
- D.
(x , y ) = ( 4 , - 2 )
Correct Answer
D. (x , y ) = ( 4 , - 2 )Explanation
The correct answer (x, y) = (4, -2) is obtained by substituting the values of x and y into both equations and checking if they satisfy the given equations. By substituting x = 4 and y = -2 into the first equation, we get 4(4) + 2(-2) = 12, which is true. By substituting the same values into the second equation, we get 3(4) - 2(-2) = 16, which is also true. Therefore, (x, y) = (4, -2) is the solution to the system of equations.Rate this question:

Solve for a : 2 a – 4(a – 2) = 2
- A.
A = 3
- B.
A = -3
- C.
A = 5
- D.
A = - 5
Correct Answer
A. A = 3Explanation
To solve the equation 2a - 4(a - 2) = 2, we first simplify the equation by distributing the -4 to both terms inside the parentheses. This gives us 2a - 4a + 8 = 2. Combining like terms, we have -2a + 8 = 2. Next, we isolate the variable by subtracting 8 from both sides, resulting in -2a = -6. Finally, we solve for a by dividing both sides by -2, giving us a = 3.Rate this question:

A rectangular room 12 m long and 8 m wide is to be CARPETED. Find the total cost if 1 sq. m costs SAR 15.
- A.
SAR 1440
- B.
SAR 600
- C.
SAR 300
- D.
SAR 3240
Correct Answer
A. SAR 1440Explanation
The total cost of carpeting the room can be found by multiplying the length and width of the room to get the total area, and then multiplying that by the cost per square meter. In this case, the length is 12 m and the width is 8 m, so the total area is 12 m * 8 m = 96 sq. m. The cost per square meter is SAR 15. Therefore, the total cost is 96 sq. m * SAR 15/sq. m = SAR 1440.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. 20 mExplanation
The circumference of a circle is calculated using the formula C = 2πr, where C is the circumference and r is the radius. In this case, we are given that the circumference is 125.6 m. We can plug this value into the formula and solve for the radius.
125.6 = 2 * 3.14 * r
Dividing both sides by 2 * 3.14 gives:
r = 125.6 / (2 * 3.14)
Simplifying further:
r = 125.6 / 6.28
r ≈ 20

Correct Answer
B. 166 m2Explanation
The total surface area of a rectangular prism can be found by calculating the sum of the areas of all its faces. In this case, the prism has two identical rectangular faces with dimensions 7 m by 5 m, which gives a total area of 2 * (7 m * 5 m) = 70 m2. The other four faces are all rectangles with dimensions 7 m by 4 m or 5 m by 4 m, which gives a total area of (7 m * 4 m) + (7 m * 4 m) + (5 m * 4 m) + (5 m * 4 m) = 56 m2. Adding the two areas together, we get a total surface area of 70 m2 + 56 m2 = 126 m2. Therefore, the correct answer is 126 m2.Rate this question:

A cubical tank is 15 ft long. Find its total surface area. ( total surface area = Perimeter of base x height + 2 base area)
- A.
360 ft2
- B.
225 ft2
- C.
1350 ft2
- D.

Correct Answer
C. 1350 ft2Explanation
The total surface area of a cubical tank can be found by calculating the perimeter of the base and multiplying it by the height, and then adding twice the area of the base. In this case, since the tank is cubical, all sides are equal in length. Therefore, the perimeter of the base is 4 times the length of one side, which is 4 x 15 = 60 ft. The area of the base is the length of one side squared, which is 15 x 15 = 225 ft2. Therefore, the total surface area is 60 x 15 + 2 x 225 = 900 + 450 = 1350 ft2.Rate this question:
