✍️ Sample DAA Questions & Answers
1. If the alarm sounds, all personnel must evacuate. The alarm has not sounded. What follows?
The evacuation requirement is triggered only by the alarm; without it sounding, the requirement does not apply.
2. To lift a 200kg box using a lever, you apply force 4 metres from the fulcrum. The box is 1 metre from the fulcrum. How much effort (force) is required? (Assume g = 10 m/s²)
First, calculate the load force: 200kg * 10 m/s² = 2000N. The principle of moments states Effort × Effort Arm = Load × Load Arm. So, Effort × 4m = 2000N × 1m. Effort = 2000 / 4 = 500N.
3. 23 x 19 = 437 24 x 19 = 437 + X therefore X equals?
Explanation: To find the value of X, we first need to find the product of 24 × 19. 24 × 19 = 456 So, 24 × 19 = 456. Now, we have: 24 × 19 = 437 + X Subtracting 437 from both sides: 456 − 437 = 437 − 437 + X 19 = X
4. What was the official codename for the GPS project mentioned in the passage?
The second sentence of the passage provides this information: 'Codenamed NAVSTAR, the project was initiated in the 1970s...'.
5. A reconnaissance plane flies from base to a target at 600 km/h and returns at 400 km/h. What is the average speed for the round trip?
Average speed = 2 × 600 × 400 ÷ (600 + 400) = 480000 ÷ 1000 = 480 km/h.
6. TIMID is to BRAVE as FRUGAL is to?
The words in the first pair are antonyms (opposites). Timid is the opposite of brave. Frugal, meaning saving or sparing, is the opposite of extravagant, which means spending excessively.
