Islamic Studies QUESTION #8225

Question 2

What are Ushr and Khums?

Two months of Islamic Calender
Two kinds of Tax in Islam✔️
Two prominent warriors of Islam
None of these

Correct Answer Logic:

Ushr and Khums are two types of Islamic taxes. Ushr is a 10% (or 5% if irrigated) agricultural tax on produce from land. Khums literally means 'one-fifth' and is a 20% tax on war booty, treasure troves, and certain types of income. These Islamic fiscal policies ensure wealth distribution and support the state treasury (Bayt al-Mal) to help the poor and fund public welfare.

Question 6

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of 'Open Source' software?

The source code is freely available to view and modify
Other developers can distribute the software for free
The software cannot be used by commercial organizations under any circumstances✔️
Developers can share and improve the software collaboratively

Correct Answer Logic:

Open source means developers will let other developers share, modify, and distribute software for free. However, open source software CAN be used by commercial organizations — many businesses use Linux and other open source tools commercially. The restriction on commercial use is NOT a defining feature of open source.

Civil Engineering QUESTION #6588

Question 7

If the crushing (compressive) strength of a concrete cylinder is $5345\,\text{psi}$, its estimated tensile strength is approximately:

1068.00 psi
534.50 psi✔️
267.25 psi
178.16 psi

Correct Answer Logic:

The splitting tensile strength of concrete is typically about $8\%–12\%$ of its compressive strength. Using $10\%$: $0.10 \times 5345 = 534.5\,\text{psi}$. ACI recommends $f_t \approx 6.7\sqrt{f'_c}$ in psi, which gives $6.7\sqrt{5345} \approx 490\,\text{psi}$, closest to option (b).

Physics QUESTION #7033

Question 8

Determine the dimensional formula for the permittivity of a vacuum ($\epsilon_0$). Given the fundamental quantities: $M$ = mass, $L$ = length, $T$ = time, and $A$ = electric current.

$[\epsilon_0] = [M^{-1} L^{-3} T^2 A]$
$[\epsilon_0] = [M^{-1} L^{-3} T^4 A^2]$✔️
$[\epsilon_0] = [M^{-1} L^2 T^4 A^{-2}]$
$[\epsilon_0] = [M^{-1} L^2 T^{-1} A]$

Correct Answer Logic:

According to Coulomb's Law, the force $F$ between two charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ separated by distance $r$ is:

$F = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

Rearranging for permittivity:

$\epsilon_0 = \frac{q^2}{4\pi F r^2}$

Dimensional analysis:

Charge $[q] = [AT]$
Force $[F] = [MLT^{-2}]$
Distance $[r] = [L]$

$[\epsilon_0] = \frac{[A^2 T^2]}{[M L T^{-2}] [L^2]} = [M^{-1} L^{-3} T^4 A^2]$

Quantitative Reasoning QUESTION #8129

Question 9

Belanger dances with a (i)_______ that draws the audience's attention as though by seeking to (ii)_______ it; through finesse and understatement, he manages to appear at once intensely present and curiously detached.

undemonstrative panache .. deflect✔️
unrestrained enthusiasm .. overwhelm
unattractive gawkiness .. deflect
undemonstrative panache .. focus

Correct Answer Logic:

The paradox is the key: Belanger uses finesse and understatement yet is compelling. Undemonstrative panache captures this — a quiet, understated flair that somehow draws attention. The attention is drawn as if the dancer is trying to deflect it (redirect it away) — which is what understatement does. 'Unrestrained enthusiasm' contradicts 'finesse and understatement.' 'Unattractive gawkiness' makes no sense with compelling stage presence.

Accounting & Finance QUESTION #6219

Question 10

In an 'Operational Audit', the auditor focuses on 'Efficiency' and 'Effectiveness'. These criteria are often considered:

Clearly defined by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
Subjective and difficult to evaluate objectively✔️
Strictly limited to accounting and financial records
Mandated by the Companies Ordinance 1984 for all firms

Correct Answer Logic:

Efficiency and effectiveness are more difficult to evaluate objectively than compliance or financial presentation, making operational auditing more like management consulting.

Question 12

What is the primary outcome of crossing over during prophase I of meiosis?

DNA duplication without exchange
Homologous chromosomes exchange segments producing recombinant chromatids✔️
Identical parts exchanged no variation
Non-homologous exchange

Correct Answer Logic:

Crossing over exchanges genetic material between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes, producing new allele combinations (recombination) and increasing genetic variation.

Question 13

Find the Simple Interest on Rs. 8000 at $6\%$ per annum for 3 years.

Rs. 1380
Rs. 1440✔️
Rs. 1500
Rs. 1560

Correct Answer Logic:

Simple Interest $= \dfrac{P \times R \times T}{100} = \dfrac{8000 \times 6 \times 3}{100} = \dfrac{144000}{100} = Rs.\ 1440$.

Give a verbal warning only
Immediately prohibit the use of the boiler✔️
Suggest a paint job
Wait until the next annual inspection

Correct Answer Logic:

Safety is the priority; the Inspector can issue an order to stop operation until repairs are certified.

Administration QUESTION #9540

Question 17

Max Weber distinguished three ideal types of authority. A newly appointed district officer who commands obedience solely because citizens respect the office of DCO, rather than the individual's personal qualities or ancestral lineage, is exercising which type?

Traditional authority derived from historical precedent
Charismatic authority arising from personal magnetism
Rational-legal authority vested in the position itself✔️
Expert authority derived from technical competence

Correct Answer Logic:

Weber's rational-legal authority is attached to the position (office), not the person. Citizens comply because law and formal structure mandate it. This is distinguished from traditional authority (inherited) and charismatic authority (personal traits).

Physics QUESTION #7053

Question 18

A metallic rod of length $L$ and cross-sectional area $A$ has a linear expansion coefficient $\alpha$. A compressive force $F$ is applied to its ends to prevent any change in length as the temperature increases by $\Delta T$. Find the Young's modulus ($Y$) for this metal.

$\frac{F}{A\alpha\Delta T}$✔️
$\frac{F}{A\alpha(\Delta T - 273)}$
$\frac{F}{2A\alpha\Delta T}$
$\frac{2F}{A\alpha\Delta T}$

Correct Answer Logic:

Thermal strain produced in the rod if it were free to expand is $\frac{\Delta L}{L} = \alpha \Delta T$.

Young's modulus is defined as $Y = \frac{\text{Stress}}{\text{Strain}} = \frac{F/A}{\Delta L/L}$.

Substituting the thermal strain:

$Y = \frac{F/A}{\alpha \Delta T} = \frac{F}{A\alpha \Delta T}$

CISA QUESTION #1741

Question 19

Which of the following statements about the audit committee is NOT accurate?

Senior executives inside the organisation oversee and direct the audit committee, assigning it compliance-related responsibilities.✔️
The audit committee possesses the authority to hire and terminate executives, with particular focus on external auditors and senior management.
The audit committee is composed of board members and has the authority to engage external auditors, who may meet with the committee independently on a quarterly basis.
The audit committee gives senior executives a confidential forum through which complex problems can be raised and solutions explored.

Correct Answer Logic:

The audit committee does NOT answer to, and is NOT overseen by, internal executives. Rather, it is the audit committee — typically composed of independent board members — that exercises oversight over executive management. It provides independent governance, engages and dismisses external auditors, and gives executives a confidential channel for escalating problems. The claim that executives 'oversee' the audit committee fundamentally inverts the correct governance relationship.

Accounting & Finance QUESTION #6150

Question 20

Which row correctly describes marginal costing vs absorption costing?

Option	Gives higher profits when inventory levels are increasing	Charges overheads to expenses rather than products
A	Absorption	Absorption
B	Absorption	Marginal
C	Marginal	Absorption
D	Marginal	Marginal

Option A
Option B✔️
Option C
Option D

Correct Answer Logic:

Option B is correct.

Higher profits when inventory rising → Absorption costing: Fixed overheads deferred in closing inventory, reducing the charge to profit.
Charges overheads as period costs → Marginal costing: All fixed overheads expensed in the period incurred.
