4. A PLDT tower and a monument stand on a level plane. The angles of depression of the
top and bottom of the monument viewed from the top of the PLDT tower are 13° and 35°
respectively. The height of the tower is 50 m. Find the height of the monument. (Trigo –

5. Pedro has 50 coins, all in 5 cents and 10 cents amounting to P3.50. How many 10
centavo coins does he have? (Mixture Problem)
a. 12 b. 20 c. 10 d. 40
x + y = 50 ; x = 50 – y …eq.1 ; x (0.05) + y (0.1) = 3.5 …eq.2
Subst. (50 – y)(0.05) + 0.1y = 3.5
2.5 -0.05y + 0.1y = 3.5 ; 0.05y = 3.5 – 2.5 ; y = 1/0.05 = 20
8. One leg of a right triangle is 6 inches and the hypotenuse is 2 inches longer than the other
leg. Find the length of the hypotenuse. Trigonometry (Pythagorean):
a. 3 b. 8 c. 10 d. 9
by Pythagorean, c² = a² + b² ; Length of hypotenuse, c = x + 2
(x + 2)² = 6² + x² ; x² + 4x + 4 = 36 + x²
4x = 32 ; x = 8 ; Length of hypotenuse, c = 8 + 2 = 10
10. Roll a pair of dice. What is the probability that the sum of two numbers is 11?
a. 1/36 b. 1/9 c. 1/18 d. 1/20
No of trials with a sum of 11 = 2 …(5 & 6 and 6 & 5);
Total No. of Trials = 6n = 6² = 36
Probability = (No.of Successful trials)/(total No.of trials) = 2/36 = 1/18
13. The diameter of a sphere and the base of a cone are equal. What percentage of that
diameter must the cone’s height be so that both volumes are equal? (Geometry)
a. H/D = 200% b. H/D = 300% c. H/D = 400% d. none of the choices
4/3 π r³ = 1/3 π r² h ; 4/3 r = 1/3 h ; r = D/2
4/3 (D/2) = 1/3 h ; 2D/3 = 1/3 h
6/3 = h/D ; h/D = 2 or 200%
14. Find the volume generated by revolving a rectangle of sides ‘a’ and ‘b’ about the side ‘a’.
a. π ba² b. π ab²/ 2 c. π ba²/ 2 d. π ab²
Volume = Revolved Area generated x side ‘a’ (formed a cylinder of radius b)
Volume = π b² x a = π ab²
17. If a Plumbing Plan scaled as 1: 50, then 20 cm x 40cm cistern plan is equal to____ cubic
mts in actual? Assume 2.00 mts actual depth of the cistern.
a. 800 cu mts b. 1600 cu. mts c. 400 cu mts d. 2400 cu mts
1 0.2 𝑥 0.4

18. The ratio of the specific weight of the substance to the specific weight of water is
a. Specific Weight c. Force per Unit Volume
b. Specific Gravity d. Density
(Physics – Elements)
Specific Weight - (also known as the unit weight) is the weight per unit volume of a material.
Specific gravity - is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference
substance.
Density - of a substance is its mass per unit volume.
19. You have a bag of marbles. There are 3 red marbles, 2 green marbles, 7 yellow marbles,
and 3 blue marbles. What is the probability of drawing a yellow or red marble? (Probability)
a. 10/15 b. 0.667 c. 2/3 d. a, b and c

22. A reliable form of meter used extensively in measuring the water flow in pipes under
pressure (Fluid Mech – Elements)
a. Weir b. Nozzle c. Orifice d. Venturi Meter
Weir – is a barrier across a river designed to alter its flow characteristics. In most cases,
weirs take the form of obstructions smaller than most conventional dams, pooling water
behind them while also allowing it to flow steadily over their tops. Weirs are commonly used
Nozzle – is often a pipe or tube of varying cross sectional area, and it can be used to direct
or modify the flow of a fluid (liquid or gas). Nozzles are frequently used to control the rate of
flow, speed, direction, mass, shape, and/or the pressure of the stream that emerges from
them.
Orifice – plate is a device used for measuring flow rate, for reducing pressure or for
restricting flow (in the latter two cases it is often called a restriction plate).
Venturi Meter - are flow measurement instruments which use a converging section of pipe to
give an increase in the flow velocity and a corresponding pressure drop from which the
flowrate can be deduced
