A).  600,000 Hz  or  600 KHz
Yes.  Commercial broadcasters operate here.
This is the '600' on your AM radio dial.

B).  60 Hz
No.  In principle, this frequency might be used for communication or
commercial broadcasting, but it suffers from two inconvenient truths:
-- An efficient antenna for 60 Hz ... either transmitting or receiving ...
needs to be almost 780 miles long.
-- This is the frequency of the electric power utility in the US and
Canada, so every outlet, wire, cable, lamp cord, and electric line
on a pole RADIATES a little bit of signal at this frequency.  That's
an awful lot of interference.

C).  6,000,000 Hz  or  6 MHz
There's a lot of broadcasting activity here, but it's not commercial
music, news, and sports into local homes and cars. 
It's foreign short-wave broadcast, bringing news, propaganda, and
culture from one country to another.  Pretty interesting to browse.

D).  6,000 Hz  or  6 KHz.
No.  Not used for communication, for an interesting reason:
This frequency is smack in the middle of the human hearing range.
So if it were used for communication ... with high-power transmitters
here and there ... then you wouldn't hear it in the air.  But wherever
wires were being used to carry sound ... your stereo's speaker wires,
wires from your player to your ear-buds, wires to the telephones in
your house etc ... the wires would act as antennas, picking up 
broadcasts at 6 KHz, and the broadcasts would get into everything.
Not a smart plan.

If a gas has a gage pressure of 156 kPa, it is absolute pressure is approximately
Art [367]
In the given question, one important information for getting to the actual solution is not given and that is the atmospheric pressure. To find the approximate absolute pressure, it is needed to add the value of atmospheric pressure with the gage pressure.
Atmospheric pressure = 100 kPa
Then
Absolute pressure = 156 + 100 kPa
                             = 256 KPa.

How do we calculate the value of work?
Katarina [22]
The percent complete is calculated by dividing the quantity of material progressed at a point in time by the total quantity required for the project. The resulting percent is multiplied by the current agreed committed value of the material item to obtain the VOWD for that item.
