A. 6

B. 48

C. 54

D.0.167

E.N

Correct Answer

Incorrect Answer

The correct answer is (C) - 54

The formula for calculating Density is:
Density = mass/volume

Isolate the 'mass' in the formula:
Multiply both sides of the formula by 'volume':
Volume*density = Volume*mass/volume
Volume*density = mass
Mass = Volume*density

Insert the given data:
Mass = 3 [liter]*18 [kg/liter] = 3*10 + 3*8 = 30 + 24 = 54 kg
=> Mass = 54 kg

C. Move her to the side and run to the child.

D. Go back to the station.

Correct Answer

Incorrect Answer

The correct answer is B. This is a complex and sensitive situation that requires you to be both professional and empathic. By telling the woman you understand, you're here to help and ask her to help you, you can make her feel helpful and reduce her stress while allowing her to save the child's life.

Question 7

Read the following paragraph and decide what the most acceptable behavior is:

You are sitting around the dining table at the station when you hear a fellow firefighter complain about the cleanliness of the plates and cutlery. "Whoever washed these dishes must be blind," he exclaims. You washed the dishes last, and you are certain you cleaned them thoroughly. After all, no one else has complained.
What should you do?

A. Tell the firefighter that you washed the dishes, but you won't be offended if he wants to rewash the ones he plans to use.

B. Tell the firefighter that the problem must lie with him as no one else seems to have any complaints.

C. Ask your team to be relieved of this duty in the future.

D. Tell him that he can wash his own dishes from now on as obviously he has higher standards than everyone else.

Correct Answer

Incorrect Answer

The correct answer is A. Response A is the only non-defensive response, and it is the only one that demonstrates your ability to get along with others in a communal living situation. Firefighters share accommodation, and therefore they need to be able to live together and solve any interpersonal problems that may occur.

Response B is not a good response as in it you shift blame onto your team member. This could cause the situation to escalate or cause friction in your relationship later on. This firefighter is not a temporary roommate; it is best to overlook his comment rather than jeopardize your relationship with him.

Response C is not recommended. By asking to be relieved of this duty, you are being unfair to the rest of your team members. This response also indicates that you easily take things out of proportion, especially as only one person has made a complaint about the way you clean dishes. This response also shows a lack of problem-solving skills.

Response D is a very negative response as you are singling out this team member. This response is most likely to lead to an escalation of the situation.

Question 8

Read the following paragraph and decide what the most acceptable behavior is:

You are required by your officer to practice the drill of suiting the full firefighter air pack, and you need to score below the time standard which is 2 minutes. You ask your friend Jessy if she wants to practice together and she agreed. Will Jessy succeed to score below 2 minutes, you've been struggling and couldn't make it even after 3 trials. What would you do?

A. Ask Jessy if she can help you to keep practicing until you pass .

B. Tell your boss you've succeeded easily and ask what to do next.

C. Blame Jessy that you didn't succeed because of her fault and tell you're boss she failed you.

D.Practice alone until you succeed and skip dinner.

Correct Answer

Incorrect Answer

The correct answer is A. Ask a friend, which is very good at the drill, can be much more helpful than practicing alone. Also, lying is never a good option, especially when it is involved life-saving drills.
