Question 1

Accepted Answer

1

Answer

Comparing cell by cell: Smith=Smith (match), 28=28 (match), London≠Londan (discrepancy — 'o' vs 'a'), AB+=AB+ (match). There is 1 discrepancy.

Question 2

If it takes 45 seconds to verify one record and there are 80 records to check, how many minutes will the task take?

Accepted Answer

60 minutes

Answer

Total seconds: 45 x 80 = 3,600 seconds. Convert to minutes: 3,600 ÷ 60 = 60 minutes.

Question 3

A pharmacy label should read 'Amoxicillin 500mg capsules - Take ONE three times daily'. Which of these labels is correct?

Accepted Answer

Amoxicillin 500mg capsules - Take ONE three times daily

Answer

Only option A matches exactly. Option B misspells 'Amoxicillin' (missing an 'l'), option C misspells 'daily' as 'dialy', and option D has the wrong dose (5000mg instead of 500mg).

Question 4

A flag code uses 3 flags in sequence. There are 5 different coloured flags available. How many unique 3-flag codes can be created if no colour can be repeated?

Accepted Answer

60

Answer

Without repetition: 5 choices for the first flag x 4 for the second x 3 for the third = 5 x 4 x 3 = 60 unique codes.

Question 5

Two clocks show different times. Clock A shows 14:37 and Clock B shows 2:42 PM. What is the time difference between the two clocks?

Accepted Answer

5 minutes

Answer

Clock A shows 14:37 (2:37 PM in 12-hour format). Clock B shows 2:42 PM (14:42 in 24-hour format). The difference is 14:42 - 14:37 = 5 minutes, with Clock B being 5 minutes ahead.
