Biology
33. How many ATP molecules are invested in the early phase of glycolysis?
Answer: Two ATP.
34. What does herpetology study?
Answer: Reptiles and amphibians.
35. What can an increased white blood cell count indicate?

36. What causes acromegaly?
Answer: Excess growth hormone in adults, usually associated with a pituitary disorder.
37. How many types of chemical bonds are there?
Status: There is no universal answer of “three.” Common categories include ionic, covalent and metallic bonds, while hydrogen bonding and other interactions are classified separately depending on the course.
38. Give an example of a trace element required by the body.
Answer: Iron.
Mathematics and Science
39. If x²+kx+4=0 has roots differing by 2, find k.
Answer: k=±2√5.
Correction: Let roots be α,β. (α−β)²=(α+β)²−4αβ=k²−16=4, so k²=20.
40. When is a complex number x+iy purely imaginary?
Answer: When the real part x=0 and the imaginary part y≠0.
41. If x+1/x=3, find x²+1/x².
Answer: 7, because (x+1/x)²=x²+2+1/x².
42. If 3x²+2x+m=0 has equal roots, find m.
Answer: 1/3. Set discriminant 4−12m=0.
43. Find the degree of 2x⁴y³+x²y²+8x.
Answer: 7, the sum of exponents in x⁴y³.
44. Simplify log(x²y³)−2log x.
Answer: 3log y, assuming positive x and y.
45. If sinθ=3/5, find cosθ.
Answer: ±4/5 in general. If θ is acute, cosθ=4/5.
46. Five consecutive odd numbers total 625. Find the largest.
Answer: 129. Their average is 125, so the numbers are 121, 123, 125, 127 and 129.
47. Find the roots of x²−5x+6=0.
Answer: 2 and 3.
48. Is x²−3x+√2 a polynomial?
Answer: Yes. A polynomial may have irrational real coefficients; exponents must be non-negative integers.
49. What physical quantity has unit N m⁻²?
Answer: Pressure, measured in pascals.
50. Who performed the famous torsion-balance experiment used to determine Earth’s density and the gravitational constant?
Answer: Henry Cavendish.
Key Corrections
- Sir Creek’s 96 km figure is a length, not an area.
- Islamabad’s capital transition was gradual.
- The 2,900 km figure describes mantle thickness, not core thickness.
- Herpetology includes reptiles and amphibians.
- Chemical-bond types depend on classification.
- The first quadratic answer is ±2√5, not ±4√2.
- Purely imaginary numbers require zero real part.
- Cosine may be positive or negative depending on quadrant.
- The five odd numbers must be consecutive for 129 to follow.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an official FGEI paper?
No. It is a corrected memory-based preparation resource.
Why was the quadratic answer changed?
The discriminant/root-difference calculation gives k²=20, so k=±2√5.
Why are some answers conditional?
Questions involving quadrants, classifications or incomplete options require assumptions that should be stated.
