Two units of length used in ancient Egypt were cubits and palms, where 1 cubit is equivalent to 7 palms. The Great Sphinx statue in Giza is approximately 140 cubits long. Which of the following best approximates the length, in palms, of the Great Sphinx statue?

Directions : In the following questions, you have two passages with 5 questions in each passage. Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives Passage -1 (Q. Nos. )The Great Pyramid at Giza is one of the world's most amazing landmarks. Rising high above the Sahara Desert in the Giza region of northern Egypt, the Great Pyramid stands some 450 feet into the burning desert sky and occupies of an area of 13 acres. The rough climate of the Sahara has actually caused the pyramid to shrink 30 feet from its original height. The pyramid was such an amazing feat of engineering. that it remained the tallest structure in the world for over 3,800 years I The entire pyramid was originally faced with polished limestone to make it shine brilliantly in the sun. Most Egyptologists, scientists who study ancient Egypt, agree that the Great Pyramid was built around 2560 BC, a little more than 4,500 years ago. It took tens of thousands of workers twenty years to build. The pyramid contains over two million stone blocks. Although most of the blocks weigh two or three tons, some weigh up to 80 tons ! The Great Pyramid of Giza was ordered built by the Pharaoh Khufu as a magnificent tomb. His vi zier (advisor) Hemon is credited with being the pyramid's architect. Khufu's pyramid is actually part of a complex of pyramids that in cludes the Pyramid of Khafre, the smaller Pyramid of Menkaure, a variety of smaller pyramids and structures, and the Great Sphinx.

A plano creates sound by gently strinking a taut wire with a soft hammer when a key on the piano is pressed.All piano wires in a given piano are approximately the same length.However, each wire is tied down at two points.the bridge and the giraffe. The length of the wire between the bridge and the agraffe is called the speaking length.The speaking length is the part of the wire that resonates.The point of the wire struck by the hammer is displaced perpendicularly to the wire's length.A standing wave is generated by the hammer strike, where v is the velocity of travelling wave.T is the tension in the wire, and mu is the mass per unit length of the wire. v=sqrt(T/mu) Tuning a piano involves adjustment of the tension in the wires until just the right pitch is achieved.Correct pitch is achieved by listening to the beat frequency between the piano and a precalibrated tuning fork. A piano with which of the following properties would deliver a note with the lowest pitch ?
