The Afghan Air Force & Air Defense University Kankor is a separate competitive entrance exam administered by NExA for the Ministry of National Defense — not the general Kankor, and not a merit cut of it. Open to natural-sciences secondary graduates (minimum 75% GPA) who scored at least 31 on the national general Kankor, it is sat at Kabul University from sealed question boxes. NExA publishes no item count, duration, pass mark, fee, or subject weighting, so this bank is built on the grade 10–12 natural-sciences curriculum that eligibility implies. The official exam is in Dari and Pashto; this bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation, not an official translation or a format simulation.

1Two aircraft flight paths in a planar radar sector are modeled by the linear equations 2x - 3y = 6 and x + 2y = 10. At what coordinate point (x, y) do the two flight paths intersect?
A.(6, 2)
B.(4, 3)
C.(8, 1)
D.(5, 2.5)
Explanation: To find the intersection, solve the linear system: from the second equation, x = 10 - 2y. Substituting into the first equation yields 2(10 - 2y) - 3y = 6, which simplifies to 20 - 4y - 3y = 6, so -7y = -14 and y = 2. Substituting y = 2 back gives x = 10 - 2(2) = 6, yielding the intersection point (6, 2).
2What are the real roots of the quadratic equation 2x² - 5x + 2 = 0?
A.x = 2 and x = 1/2
B.x = -2 and x = -1/2
C.x = 5/2 and x = 1
D.x = 1 and x = 2
Explanation: Applying the quadratic formula x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / (2a) with a = 2, b = -5, and c = 2 gives discriminant Δ = (-5)² - 4(2)(2) = 25 - 16 = 9. Thus, x = (5 ± √9) / 4 = (5 ± 3) / 4, yielding roots x = 8/4 = 2 and x = 2/4 = 1/2.
3According to the Remainder Theorem, what is the remainder when the polynomial P(x) = 3x³ - 4x² + 2x - 5 is divided by (x - 2)?
A.7
B.11
C.17
D.-5
Explanation: By the Polynomial Remainder Theorem, dividing P(x) by (x - c) yields remainder R = P(c). Setting c = 2 gives P(2) = 3(2)³ - 4(2)² + 2(2) - 5 = 3(8) - 4(4) + 4 - 5 = 24 - 16 + 4 - 5 = 7.
4What is the real solution to the logarithmic equation log₂(x) + log₂(x - 2) = 3?
A.x = 4
B.x = -2
C.x = 6
D.x = 2√2
Explanation: Using the product property of logarithms, log₂(x(x - 2)) = 3. Converting to exponential form gives x(x - 2) = 2³ = 8, which rearranges to the quadratic equation x² - 2x - 8 = 0. Factoring gives (x - 4)(x + 2) = 0. Because logarithms require positive arguments (x > 2), the extraneous root x = -2 is discarded, leaving x = 4.
5Atmospheric pressure P at altitude h (in kilometers) decreases exponentially according to P(h) = P₀ · e^(-k·h). If the pressure at sea level is P₀ = 100 kPa and at altitude h = 6 km the pressure is 50 kPa, what is the exact value of the decay constant k?
A.(ln 2) / 6
B.(ln 2) / 3
C.6 / (ln 2)
D.ln(50) / 6
Explanation: Substitute P(6) = 50 and P₀ = 100 into the model: 50 = 100 · e^(-6k), which simplifies to 1/2 = e^(-6k) or 2 = e^(6k). Taking the natural logarithm of both sides gives ln(2) = 6k, so k = (ln 2) / 6.
6What is the exact value of cos(120°) + sin(150°)?
A.0
B.1
C.-1
D.√3 / 2
Explanation: Using standard reference angles in the second quadrant: cos(120°) = -cos(60°) = -1/2, and sin(150°) = sin(30°) = 1/2. Adding these two exact trigonometric values gives (-1/2) + (1/2) = 0.
7Which of the following simplifies the trigonometric expression sin(2θ) / (1 + cos(2θ)) for all valid θ?
A.tan(θ)
B.cot(θ)
C.sin(θ)
D.cos(θ)
Explanation: Apply the double-angle formulas sin(2θ) = 2 sin(θ) cos(θ) and cos(2θ) = 2 cos²(θ) - 1. The denominator becomes 1 + (2 cos²(θ) - 1) = 2 cos²(θ). Dividing the numerator by the denominator gives (2 sin(θ) cos(θ)) / (2 cos²(θ)) = sin(θ) / cos(θ) = tan(θ).
8A radar station tracks two aircraft at distances of 60 km and 80 km from the station. If the angle subtended between the two aircraft at the radar station is 60°, what is the straight-line distance between the two aircraft?
A.20√13 km (≈ 72.1 km)
B.100 km
C.70 km
D.20√37 km (≈ 121.7 km)
Explanation: By the Law of Cosines, c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos(C). Substituting a = 60, b = 80, and C = 60°: c² = 60² + 80² - 2(60)(80) cos(60°) = 3600 + 6400 - 9600(0.5) = 10000 - 4800 = 5200. Taking the square root gives c = √5200 = √(400 × 13) = 20√13 km ≈ 72.11 km.
9How many distinct solutions exist for the equation 2 sin²(x) - sin(x) - 1 = 0 in the interval [0, 2π)?
A.3
B.2
C.4
D.1
Explanation: Factoring the quadratic in terms of sin(x): (2 sin(x) + 1)(sin(x) - 1) = 0. This yields two cases: sin(x) = 1 and sin(x) = -1/2. On [0, 2π), sin(x) = 1 gives 1 solution: x = π/2; sin(x) = -1/2 gives 2 solutions in quadrants III and IV: x = 7π/6 and x = 11π/6. Together, there are 1 + 2 = 3 distinct solutions.
10What is the exact value of cos(arcsin(3/5) + arccos(12/13))?
A.33 / 65
B.56 / 65
C.16 / 65
D.63 / 65
Explanation: Let α = arcsin(3/5) and β = arccos(12/13). Then sin(α) = 3/5 and cos(α) = 4/5; cos(β) = 12/13 and sin(β) = 5/13. Using the cosine sum identity cos(α + β) = cos(α)cos(β) - sin(α)sin(β) gives: (4/5)(12/13) - (3/5)(5/13) = 48/65 - 15/65 = 33/65.
