1A police patrol team covers 120 km on Monday and 185 km on Tuesday. What is the total distance covered in these two days?

A.315 km

B.205 km

C.305 km

D.300 km

Explanation: To find the total distance, you simply add the distance covered on Monday and Tuesday. 120 km + 185 km = 305 km. This gives the combined travel for both days.

2Out of 50 recruits, 10% failed the physical fitness test. How many recruits failed?

A.50 recruits

B.10 recruits

C.5 recruits

D.40 recruits

Explanation: To find the number of recruits who failed, calculate 10% of the total recruits. 10% of 50 is (10/100) * 50 = 0.10 * 50 = 5 recruits. This represents a small fraction of the total.

3The ratio of male to female police officers in a district is 5:3. If there are 150 male officers, what is the total number of officers in the district?

A.90 officers

B.180 officers

C.240 officers

D.210 officers

Explanation: The ratio 5:3 means there are 5 parts male officers and 3 parts female officers, making a total of 8 parts. If 5 parts correspond to 150 male officers, then 1 part equals 150 / 5 = 30 officers. The total number of officers is 8 parts, so 8 * 30 = 240 officers.

4A police station recorded the following number of incidents over five days: 12, 18, 15, 20, 10. What is the average number of incidents per day?

A.17 incidents

B.14 incidents

C.15 incidents

D.16 incidents

Explanation: To find the average, sum all the incident numbers and then divide by the number of days. The sum is 12 + 18 + 15 + 20 + 10 = 75. Dividing by 5 days gives an average of 75 / 5 = 15 incidents per day.

5A police vehicle travels at an average speed of 60 km/h for 2.5 hours. What distance does it cover?

A.130 km

B.120 km

C.140 km

D.150 km

Explanation: The formula for distance is Speed × Time. In this case, Speed = 60 km/h and Time = 2.5 hours. Therefore, Distance = 60 km/h × 2.5 hours = 150 km. This is the total distance covered during the patrol.

6A police officer buys a meal for UGX 7,500 and a drink for UGX 2,000. How much change does he get from a UGX 10,000 note?

A.UGX 2,500

B.UGX 1,000

C.UGX 500

D.UGX 1,500

Explanation: First, calculate the total cost of the purchases: UGX 7,500 + UGX 2,000 = UGX 9,500. Then, subtract this total from the amount paid: UGX 10,000 - UGX 9,500 = UGX 500. This is the change received.

7A police budget allocates 1/4 of funds to salaries and 1/5 to equipment. What fraction of the budget is remaining for other expenses?

A.1/9

B.11/20

C.2/9

D.9/20

Explanation: First, find a common denominator to add the fractions of funds already allocated: 1/4 + 1/5 = 5/20 + 4/20 = 9/20. To find the remaining fraction, subtract this from the whole budget (1): 1 - 9/20 = 20/20 - 9/20 = 11/20. This is the portion available for other uses.

8A new police recruit earns UGX 600,000 per month. If 15% is deducted for housing and 5% for pension, what is their net salary?

A.UGX 570,000

B.UGX 450,000

C.UGX 510,000

D.UGX 480,000

Explanation: First, calculate the total percentage deduction: 15% (housing) + 5% (pension) = 20%. This means the net salary is 100% - 20% = 80% of the gross salary. Calculate 80% of UGX 600,000: 0.80 * UGX 600,000 = UGX 480,000. This is the amount the recruit takes home.

9Calculate: 25 + (15 - 5) * 3

A.65

B.105

C.55

D.25

Explanation: Follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS): Parentheses/Brackets first, then Multiplication, then Addition. (15 - 5) = 10. Next, 10 * 3 = 30. Finally, 25 + 30 = 55. Adhering to this sequence ensures the correct result.

10A police station has 250 registered firearms. If 85 are currently deployed for field operations, how many remain at the station?

A.175

B.195

C.165

D.185

Explanation: To find the number of firearms remaining, subtract the deployed firearms from the total registered firearms. 250 - 85 = 165. This calculation determines the inventory available at the station.
