The table below shows the total revenue schedule of a firm. Use the information to answer the question that follows

Output (units) 50 60 70 80 90
Total revenue (TR) $ 85 102 119 136 153

What is the firm's marginal revenue? 

A.

$153.00

B.

$17.00

C.

$1.70

D.

$0.80

Correct answer is C

Marginal revenue = the change in total revenue divided by the change in total output quantity. 

MR = \(\frac{17}{10}\) = $1.7

A sound of frequency 512 Hz reaches a listener 100 m away. If the sound travels in air at s.t.p., what is its wavelength?
[speed of sound in air = 331 m/s]

A.

1.550m

B.

0.646m

C.

5.120m

D.

0.195m

Correct answer is B

f = 512Hz, V = 331m/s    λ  = ?

V = f λ 

λ  = \(\frac{v}{f} = \frac{331}{512}\)

λ  = 0.646m.

The diagram above illustrates a velocity-time graph. Determine the distance between X and Y.

A.

80.0m

B.

160.0m

C.

40.0m

D.

10.0m

Correct answer is B

Distance between X and Y is the area of rectangular portion of the velocity-time graph.
XY = 40 × (8 - 4) = 40 × 4
∴ XY = 160 m

In an RLC series circuit at resonance, the voltages across the resistor and the inductor are 30 V and 40 V respectively. Determine the voltage across the capacitor.

A.

50V

B.

30V

C.

70V

D.

40V

Correct answer is D

At resonance, the inductive reactance is equal to the capacitive reactance. This means that the voltage across the inductor is also equal to the voltage across the capacitor.

Therefore, the voltage across the capacitor is 40 V.

The type of mirror used by dentists to inspect the teeth of patients is a

A.

Plane mirror

B.

cylindrical mirror

C.

concave mirror

D.

convex mirror

Correct answer is C

The type of mirror used by dentists to inspect the teeth of patients is a concave mirror.

Concave mirrors are curved inwards and produce a magnified image of the object placed within its focus and pole. This is why dentists use concave mirrors to examine teeth, as it allows them to see the teeth in more detail.
