Almost 40% of the world’s oil supply passes through the strait of:

(A) Hormuz
(B) Malacca
(C) Bosporus
(D) Gibraltar

Check Answer

(A) Hormuz

Explanation

The Strait of Hormuz is located between Oman and Iran and is a narrow channel. It is very important because it carries 40% of the world’s oil traffic. No other strait carries this much oil traffic. Malacca, the Bosporus, and Gibraltar are all important shipping routes, but they do not carry oil in such quantities. So the correct choice is (A) Hormuz.

Which dam was built first in Pakistan?

(A) Warsak
(B) Mangla
(C) Khushdil Khan
(D) Tarbela

Check Answer

(A) Warsak

Explanation

The Warsak Dam, completed in 1960, is seen as the first major dam in the history of Pakistan. Located on the Kabul River, the Warsak Dam was constructed with the objective of providing irrigation and electricity through hydroelectric power, which marked the beginning of the giant dams that would be constructed in the country in the years to come, such as the Mangla and Tarbela dams, completed in 1961 and 1968, and 1974, respectively.

To briefly take the history into perspective, it is stated that “when Pakistan came into being in 1947, there were only three dams in the country, i.e., Khushdil Khan Dam in Balochistan built in 1890, and two dams in the district of Mianwali, i.e., Namal and Spin Kariz, built in 1945. The Warsak Dam on the Kabul River, built in 1955, marked the beginning of the dam spree in the country”. This statement indicates that the Warsak Dam is seen as the first major dam in the history of the country, although there were dams that existed prior to the country’s independence.

The term “Working Boundary” is frequently used in the media while referring to Cease-fire violations by India is the Working Boundary?

(A) Actual ground positions of Indian and Pakistani forces in Siachen area
(B) It is another name for Pakistan-India border
(C) The line diving Azad Kashmir and Indian Occupied Kashmir
(D) The border between Pakistan and Indian Occupied Kashmir

Check Answer

(D) The border between Pakistan and Indian Occupied Kashmir

Explanation

The Working Boundary is the 193-kilometer border area between Pakistan’s Punjab Province and the Jammu and Kashmir territory. It is at the center of a larger controversy because India considers this boundary part of the internationally recognized border, while Pakistan refers to it as the ‘working boundary’ or ‘working border,’ reflecting the distinction between a recognized province and a disputed territory. Unlike the highly militarized Line of Control boundary, the Working Boundary has large civilian populations on both sides.

If (7^a) (7^b)= (7^c) (7^d), what is “d” in terms of a, b and c:

(A) c/ab
(B) c = a – b
(C) c – ab
(D) a + b – c

Check Answer

(D) a + b – c

Explanation

Solution: If a, b, c, and d are exponents, then the equation

7^{a} \cdot 7^{b} = 7^{c} \cdot 7^{d}

is based on the exponent rule:

7a+b = 7c+d

With the same base, the two exponents are equal:

a + b = c + d

Solve the equation for d:

d = a + b – c

Correct answer: (D) a + b – c

Which is the longest river of North America?

(A) Missouri
(B) Mississippi
(C) Red
(D) Colorado

Check Answer

(A) Missouri

Explanation

The Missouri River holds the record as the longest river in North America, according to measurements taken by the U.S. Geological Survey, which put its length at 2,540 miles, compared to the 2,340 miles of the Mississippi River.

The Missouri River begins at the Rocky Mountains in Montana, where three streams, the Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin, merge to create the river’s headwaters. The river ends 15 miles north of St. Louis, Missouri, where it flows into the Mississippi River.

Since the Missouri River flows into the Mississippi, they are considered a single river, but if they are considered as a single entity, they are the fourth-longest river in the world, stretching 3,710 miles.
