1. A pressure vessel has a cylindrical body (diameter 10cm, height 20cm) with hemispherical ends (same diameter as the cylinder). What is its total surface area?

• A. 785 sq cm
• B. 1130 sq cm
• C. 1570 sq cm
• D. 2055 sq cm

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the total surface area, we need to calculate the surface area of the cylindrical body and both hemispherical ends separately. The surface area of the cylinder is the sum of the lateral surface area (2πrh) and the area of the two circular bases (2πr^2). For the hemispheres, the surface area of one hemisphere is (2πr^2), so for two hemispheres, it would be (4πr^2). Given that the diameter of the cylinder and hemispherical ends is 10cm, the radius (r) is 5cm. Calculating the individual surface areas: Cylinder = 2π(5)(20) + 2π(5)^2 = 200π + 50π = 250π. Hemispheres = 4π(5)^2 = 100π. Adding these together gives a total surface area of 250π + 100π = 350π cm^2, which is approximately equal to 2055 sq cm. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choice A (785 sq cm) is incorrect as it is significantly lower than the correct calculation. Choices B (1130 sq cm) and C (1570 sq cm) are also incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate surface area calculation for the given dimensions.

2. How many kilograms are in 2000 grams?

• A. 20 kilograms
• B. 2 kilograms
• C. 5 kilograms
• D. 10 kilograms

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert grams to kilograms, you need to divide by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 2000 grams is equal to 2 kilograms (2000 grams ÷ 1000 = 2 kilograms). The correct answer is B: 2 kilograms. Choice A, 20 kilograms, is incorrect because multiplying by 10 (not dividing by 1000) would give that result. Choice C, 5 kilograms, and Choice D, 10 kilograms, are also incorrect as they do not correctly convert grams to kilograms.

3. After spending money on a sandwich, a drink, and a bag of chips, how much money did the man have left from his initial $10?

• A. $1.50
• B. $0.95
• C. $1.90
• D. $2.10

Correct answer: B

Rationale: After spending $6.50 on a sandwich, the man had $3.50 left. Then, after spending $1.80 on a drink, he had $1.70 left. Finally, he spent another $0.75 on a bag of chips. Subtracting $0.75 from $1.70 gives us $0.95, which is the amount of money he had left. Choice A is incorrect because it does not consider the bag of chips he bought. Choice C is incorrect as it miscalculates the remaining amount. Choice D is incorrect as it does not account for the total expenses.

4. What is 33% of 300?

• A. 3
• B. 9
• C. 33
• D. 99

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find 33% of 300, you multiply 300 by 0.33 (which is the decimal equivalent of 33%). 300 * 0.33 = 99. Therefore, 33% of 300 equals 99. Choice A (3) is incorrect as it is too small for 33% of 300. Choice B (9) is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct calculation for finding 33% of 300. Choice C (33) is incorrect as it represents the percentage value itself, not the result of calculating 33% of 300.

5. A farmer's production statistics find that it takes 2 chickens to produce 6 eggs in 24 hours. How many chickens will be needed to produce 24 eggs in 24 hours?

• A. 12 chickens
• B. 4 chickens
• C. 3 chickens
• D. 8 chickens

Correct answer: D

Rationale: First, find how many eggs 1 chicken can produce in 24 hours. If 2 chickens produce 6 eggs: 6 eggs / 2 chickens = 3 eggs per chicken. To produce 24 eggs, we divide the required number of eggs by the production rate per chicken: 24 eggs / 3 eggs per chicken = 8 chickens. Therefore, the correct answer is D. 8 chickens. Choice A, 12 chickens, is incorrect because it does not consider the production rate per chicken. Choice B, 4 chickens, is incorrect as it does not account for the number of eggs needed. Choice C, 3 chickens, is incorrect because it miscalculates the production rate per chicken.
