Question #1
Pressure at depth h in fluid: P = P₀ + ρgh. If depth doubles, pressure increase is:
A. Double
B. Half
C. Four times
D. Same

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Gauge pressure (excluding atmospheric) P_gauge = ρgh ∝ h. Doubling depth doubles gauge pressure. Total pressure P = P₀ + ρgh increases but not exactly double due to P₀ term. Question asks about pressure increase (ρgh part). Memory tip: 'Hydrostatic pressure ∝ depth'. Fundamental fluid statics concept frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #2
A man walking at 5 km/h reaches his office 10 minutes late. If he walks at 6 km/h, he is 5 minutes early. Distance to office is
A. 7.5 km
B. 10 km
C. 2.5 km
D. 5 km

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Let distance d, usual time t hours. d/5 = t + 10/60, d/6 = t - 5/60. Subtract: d/5 - d/6 = (15/60) => d/30 = 0.25 => d = 7.5 km. Commonly asked.

Question #3
Which SI prefix represents 10⁻⁶?
A. micro
B. nano
C. milli
D. pico

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Micro (μ) denotes 10⁻⁶ in SI system. Nano = 10⁻⁹, pico = 10⁻¹², milli = 10⁻³. Standard prefixes: kilo(10³), milli(10⁻³), micro(10⁻⁶), nano(10⁻⁹). Memory aid: 'Micro = millionth; μm = micrometer = 10⁻⁶ m'. Frequently tested for unit conversion proficiency in competitive exams.
