Five practice questions, worked

Original questions written to this exam's published syllabus and pattern. Not past papers.

1. What is the determinant of the 2 by 2 matrix with rows (4, 3) and (2, 5)?

  1. 26
  2. 22
  3. 14
  4. 7
Answer and working

C. 14

det = ad − bc = 4×5 − 3×2 = 20 − 6 = 14. Adding the products (20 + 6 = 26) is the commonest slip.

Mathematics & Statistics for Dairy Science · Matrices and linear equations

2. A solution has a hydrogen-ion concentration of 1 × 10⁻⁵ mol/L. What is its pH?

  1. 9
  2. −5
  3. 10⁻⁵
  4. 5
Answer and working

D. 5

pH = −log[H⁺] = −log(10⁻⁵) = 5. pH 9 would be the pOH-type slip (14 − 5).

Biochemistry for Dairy Science · Water, pH and buffers

3. Who disproved spontaneous generation with swan-necked flasks of boiled broth?

  1. Louis Pasteur
  2. Robert Koch
  3. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
  4. Joseph Lister
Answer and working

A. Louis Pasteur

Pasteur's flasks stayed sterile while the curved neck trapped dust and spoiled once it was broken. Koch proved specific organisms cause specific diseases.

General Microbiology · History and scope of microbiology

4. A drawing made to a scale of 1:50 shows a tank diameter of 3.2 m written on it. The real diameter is:

  1. 3.2 m
  2. 160 m
  3. 6.4 cm
  4. 64 mm
Answer and working

A. 3.2 m

Written dimensions always give real size whatever the scale. 6.4 cm is what the drawn line would measure; scaling off prints is bad practice.

Engineering Fundamentals for Dairy Technologists · Engineering drawing and reading plant drawings

5. Which cattle breed is the most numerous and highest-yielding dairy breed worldwide?

  1. Sahiwal, from South Asia
  2. Jersey, from the Channel Islands
  3. Holstein-Friesian
  4. Brown Swiss, from the Alps
Answer and working

C. Holstein-Friesian

Holstein-Friesians dominate intensive dairying and give the highest volumes, with relatively low fat and protein percentages.
