  1. Employee ID  

  1. First Name  

  1. Department name  

She wants the employees arranged department-wise, starting with the department having the smaller department ID. Within each department, employees should be arranged according to their employee ID, from smallest to largest. 

The manager has already reviewed the first 3 records and now wants to see the next 5 records. 

Notes: SQL clauses  need to be arranged in the following order: 

SELECT → FROM → WHERE → GROUP BY → HAVING → ORDER BY → LIMIT → OFFSET

IBC Quiz #219

August 28, 2026

Question 1 :Upper Grade Question

A robotic factory has a large automated conveyor machine that uses two circular pulleys connected by a crossed belt. The belt has suddenly snapped, and the engineer needs to replace it with a new one. 

The larger pulley has a radius of 70 cm, and the smaller pulley has a radius of 40 cm. The two pulleys are mounted on a machine frame. The distance from the centre of the larger pulley to one edge of the frame is 90 cm, while the distance from the centre of the smaller pulley to the opposite edge is 70 cm. The length of the frame is 360 cm. 

To make the second pulley rotate in the opposite direction, the engineer must use a crossed belt. The straight portions of this belt form transverse common tangents to the two pulleys. 

The engineer has asked your team to calculate the length of one straight portion of the belt before cutting the new belt. 

Can you help the engineer find the required length? 

đź’ˇ Hint: The length L of the transverse common tangent is equal to the square root of the distance between the centres squared, minus the sum of the two radii squared

Question 2 :Lower Grade Question

A robotic factory has a large automated conveyor machine that uses two circular pulleys connected by a crossed belt. The belt has suddenly snapped, and the engineer needs to replace it with a new one. 

The larger pulley has a radius of 80 cm, and the smaller pulley has a radius of 50 cm. The centres of the two pulleys are 200 cm apart. 

To make the second pulley rotate in the opposite direction, the engineer must use a crossed belt. The straight portions of this belt form transverse common tangents to the two pulleys. 

 The engineer has asked your team to calculate the length of one straight portion of the belt before cutting the new belt.
