Planning QUESTION #5007

Question 2902

Which zoning technique allows density bonuses in exchange for public amenities?

Euclidean zoning
Performance zoning

Quantitative Reasoning QUESTION #8121

Question 2909

In the context of the passage about Nahuatl language, the word coinages most nearly means:

adaptations
creations✔️
idiosyncrasies
currencies

Correct Answer Logic:

In the passage, coinages refers to linguistic expressions invented by the Toltec people — original language forms they created. Creations is the best fit because it captures the idea of newly invented expressions or terms. 'Adaptations' implies modifying something existing. 'Idiosyncrasies' means personal quirks. 'Currencies' is the literal financial meaning, which doesn't apply in a linguistic context.

Question 2912

Which of the following numbers is divisible by both 8 and 9?

504
576✔️
648
720

Correct Answer Logic:

For divisibility by 8, the last three digits must be divisible by 8. For divisibility by 9, the digit sum must be divisible by 9. $576 \div 8 = 72$ ✓ and digit sum $= 5+7+6 = 18$, divisible by 9 ✓.

Mathematics QUESTION #1267

Question 2913

Changing the order of integration in $\displaystyle\int_0^2\int_0^{\sqrt{x}}f(x,y)\,dy\,dx$ gives:

$\displaystyle\int_0^{\sqrt{2}}\int_0^{y^2}f(x,y)\,dx\,dy$
$\displaystyle\int_0^{2}\int_0^{y^2}f(x,y)\,dx\,dy$
$\displaystyle\int_0^{\sqrt{2}}\int_{y^2}^{2}f(x,y)\,dx\,dy$✔️
$\displaystyle\int_0^{2}\int_{\sqrt{x}}^{2}f(x,y)\,dx\,dy$

Correct Answer Logic:

Original region: $0\leq x\leq 2$, $0\leq y\leq\sqrt{x}$. Equivalently: $y$ ranges from $0$ to $\sqrt{2}$; for fixed $y$, $x$ ranges from $y^2$ to $2$ (since $y\leq\sqrt{x}\Rightarrow x\geq y^2$). So: $\int_0^{\sqrt{2}}\int_{y^2}^{2}f(x,y)\,dx\,dy$.

Civil / Architecture QUESTION #2352

Question 2914

In the Moment Distribution Method, when the far end of a member is pinned, the modified stiffness $K'$ used at the near end to avoid iterating carry-over to the pinned end is:

$K' = \dfrac{EI}{L}$
$K' = \dfrac{2EI}{L}$
$K' = \dfrac{3EI}{L}$✔️
$K' = \dfrac{4EI}{L}$

Correct Answer Logic:

Modified stiffness for far-end pinned: $K' = \dfrac{3EI}{L}$ (versus $\dfrac{4EI}{L}$ for far-end fixed). Using this modified stiffness means the carry-over factor to the pinned end is zero, so the pin does not need to be balanced in subsequent distribution cycles, simplifying the computation significantly.

Question 2915

A Buyer discovers that goods are defective two months after acceptance. The defect was hidden and not discoverable upon initial inspection. What is the Buyer's best remedy?

Rejection of the goods.
Revocation of acceptance.✔️
Rescission of the entire contract.
Suing for liquidated damages only.

Correct Answer Logic:

Under UCC §2-608, a buyer may revoke acceptance of a lot whose non-conformity substantially impairs its value if the acceptance was based on the difficulty of discovery.

Question 2916

Three years ago, the age of a father was three times the age of his son. If the sum of their current ages is 70 years, what is the present age of the son?

$20$ years
$25$ years
$21$ years
None of these✔️

Correct Answer Logic:

Let current age of son = $x$ and father = $y$. Given: $x + y = 70$. Three years ago: $(y-3) = 3(x-3)$. Expanding: $y - 3 = 3x - 9$, so $y = 3x - 6$. Substituting in first equation: $x + 3x - 6 = 70$, giving $4x = 76$, so $x = 19$ years. The answer should be 19 years, but this doesn't match the options, suggesting 'None of these' is correct.

Physics QUESTION #1001

Question 2917

A force $\vec{F} = 2\hat{i}+b\hat{j}+\hat{k}$ is applied on a particle and it undergoes displacement $\hat{i}-2\hat{j}-\hat{k}$. If work done is zero, the value of $b$ is:

$\dfrac{1}{2}$✔️
2
$\dfrac{1}{3}$

Correct Answer Logic:

$W = \vec{F}\cdot\vec{d} = (2)(1)+(b)(-2)+(1)(-1) = 2-2b-1 = 1-2b = 0 \Rightarrow b = \dfrac{1}{2}$.

Civil Engineering QUESTION #2131

Question 2920

In surveying, the 'closing error' of a closed traverse is corrected using Bowditch's (compass) rule, which distributes the error in proportion to:

The angle at each traverse station
The length of each traverse leg relative to the total perimeter — longer legs receive proportionally larger corrections in both latitude and departure✔️
The bearing of each traverse leg
The square of the length of each traverse leg

Correct Answer Logic:

Bowditch's rule (most common traverse adjustment): correction to latitude (or departure) of each leg $= \dfrac{\text{length of leg}}{\text{perimeter}} \times \text{total closing error in latitude (or departure)}$. It assumes errors are proportional to distance traveled (random errors accumulating with distance). Transit rule distributes corrections proportional to the magnitude of latitudes/departures — used when angular measurements are more precise than linear.
