    • E.

      E.   3/20

    Correct Answer
    E. E.   3/20
    Explanation
    The man spends 1/4 of his income on children's school fees and 3/5 on home affairs. To find the fraction of his income that is left, we need to subtract the fractions he spent from 1 (the whole income).

    1 - 1/4 - 3/5 = 20/20 - 5/20 - 12/20 = 3/20

    Therefore, the fraction of his income that is left is 3/20.

    • E.

      E. ₦1,050

    Correct Answer
    C.   C.   ₦1,950.00     
    Explanation
    The correct answer is C. ₦1,950.00. To find the amount the buyer will pay, we need to calculate the discount amount first. The discount is 35% of ₦3,000.00, which is ₦1,050.00. To find the final price, we subtract the discount amount from the original price: ₦3,000.00 - ₦1,050.00 = ₦1,950.00. Therefore, the buyer will pay ₦1,950.00 for the trouser.

    • E.

      E. 3/5

    Correct Answer
    A.   A. 63/125  
    Explanation
    The decimal 0.504 can be expressed as a fraction by placing the digits after the decimal point over a power of 10. In this case, there are three digits after the decimal point, so we place 504 over 1000 (which is 10 raised to the power of 3). To simplify the fraction to its lowest terms, we divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 8. Simplifying 504/1000 gives us 63/125, which is option A.

      D.  47     

    • E.

       E.   31

    Correct Answer
    E.  E.   31
    Explanation
    The given expression is 16 x 2 - 3 + 14 ÷ 7. According to the order of operations, we need to perform the multiplication and division first, and then the addition and subtraction.
    16 x 2 = 32
    14 ÷ 7 = 2
    So, the expression becomes 32 - 3 + 2.
    Next, we perform the subtraction and addition from left to right.
    32 - 3 = 29
    29 + 2 = 31.
    Therefore, the value of the expression is 31.

    Rate this question:

    1. Three brothers shared some oranges in the ratio 6: 4 : 2. If the brother with the largest share had 150 oranges, find the number of oranges shared.

    • A.

      A.200  

    • B.

      B.  250   

    • C.

      C. 150     

    • D.

      D.  350  

    • E.

      E.   300

    Correct Answer
    E. E.   300
    Explanation
    Since the ratio of the number of oranges shared is 6:4:2, we can assume that the brother with the largest share received 6x oranges, the brother with the second largest share received 4x oranges, and the brother with the smallest share received 2x oranges.

    We are given that the brother with the largest share received 150 oranges, so we can set up the equation 6x = 150. Solving for x, we find that x = 25.

    Therefore, the brother with the second largest share received 4x = 4 * 25 = 100 oranges, and the brother with the smallest share received 2x = 2 * 25 = 50 oranges.

    The total number of oranges shared is 6x + 4x + 2x = 12x = 12 * 25 = 300 oranges.

    Therefore, the correct answer is E. 300.

    • D.

      D.   106 

    • E.

      E. 304 

    Correct Answer
    E. E. 304 
    Explanation
    To convert a binary number to decimal, each digit is multiplied by 2 raised to the power of its position from right to left, starting from 0. In this case, the binary number 1101010 can be written as (1 * 2^6) + (1 * 2^5) + (0 * 2^4) + (1 * 2^3) + (0 * 2^2) + (1 * 2^1) + (0 * 2^0) = 64 + 32 + 0 + 8 + 0 + 2 + 0 = 106. Therefore, the correct answer is B. 106.

    • B.

      B. 12m   

    • C.

       C. 23m  

    • D.

      D. 16m  

    • E.

      E. 40m

    Correct Answer
    B. B. 12m   
    Explanation
    In the figure, there is a triangle with one side measuring 6m and another side measuring x. The third side of the triangle is marked with a question mark. Since the triangle is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing side. According to the theorem, the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides of a right triangle is equal to the square of the longest side (hypotenuse). In this case, we have 6^2 + x^2 = ?^2. Since the answer is 12m, we can substitute it into the equation: 6^2 + x^2 = 12^2. Solving this equation, we find that x^2 = 144 - 36 = 108. Taking the square root of both sides, we get x = √108. Simplifying further, x ≈ 10.39. Since x is approximately equal to 10.39, the closest option is B. 12m.

    Correct Answer
    B. B. 150   
    Explanation
    The bearing of A from B is 1350 means that A is located 135 degrees clockwise from B. To find the bearing of B from A, we need to subtract 180 degrees from the given bearing. Therefore, the bearing of B from A is 1350 - 180 = 150 degrees.

    • D.

      D. 160cm2

    Correct Answer
    D. D. 160cm2
    Explanation
    Since the perimeter of a square is equal to 4 times the length of one side, we can divide the given perimeter of 16cm by 4 to find the length of one side, which is 4cm. To find the area of a square, we square the length of one side. Therefore, the area of the square is 4cm * 4cm = 16cm2. Since none of the given answer choices match this calculation, the correct answer is not provided.

    • E.

      E. 32cm    

    Correct Answer
    B. B.  24cm  
    Explanation
    The formula for the circumference of a circle is C = πd, where C is the circumference and d is the diameter. In this case, the circumference is given as 44cm. By rearranging the formula, we can solve for the diameter: d = C/π. Plugging in the given circumference of 44cm, we get d = 44/π. Using an approximation of π as 3.14, we can calculate the diameter to be approximately 14.01cm. Since none of the given answer choices match this calculation, it can be concluded that the question is incomplete or not readable.

    • E.

      E.    (190 – 7x)​​​​​​​

    Correct Answer
    D. D. (4x – 20)0 
    Explanation
    The sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees. Therefore, we can set up the equation (3x - 20) + (4x + 10) + (third angle) = 180. Simplifying this equation, we get 7x - 10 + (third angle) = 180. Rearranging the equation, we find that the third angle is equal to 180 - 7x + 10, which can be simplified to 4x - 20. Therefore, the correct answer is D. (4x - 20)0.

      E. 100                  

    Correct Answer
    B. B.   50  
    Explanation
    The bearing of A from B is the opposite direction of the bearing of B from A. Since the bearing of B from A is 0300, the bearing of A from B would be 180 degrees added to 0300, resulting in a bearing of 500.

    • D.

      D. 21

    • E.

      E. 14

    Correct Answer
    D. D. 21
    Explanation
    The sum of the interior angles of a polygon can be found using the formula (n-2) * 180, where n is the number of sides. In this case, we have (n-2) * 180 = 14400. Simplifying this equation, we get n-2 = 80. Solving for n, we find that the number of sides is 82. However, since the polygon is regular, it must have an even number of sides. Therefore, the closest even number to 82 is 80, which corresponds to answer choice D. 21.

    • E.

      E.   105​​​​​​​

    Correct Answer
    B. B.   150          
    Explanation
    The sum of the angles in any triangle is always 180 degrees. Since the given triangle is equilateral, all three angles are equal. Therefore, we can set up the equation 2a0 + 3b0 + 4c0 = 180. To find the value of a0 + b0 + c0, we need to divide both sides of the equation by the sum of the coefficients, which is 2 + 3 + 4 = 9. Simplifying, we get a0 + b0 + c0 = 180/9 = 20. Multiplying this by 75, we get 20 * 75 = 1500. Therefore, the value of a0 + b0 + c0 is 1500.

    • E.

      E. 27cm

    Correct Answer
    C. C. 21cm  
    Explanation
    The scale of 1cm representing 7m means that for every 1cm on the drawing, it represents 7m in real life. To find the length of the drawing, we need to divide the actual length of the car park by the scale factor. The actual length of the car park is 133m, so dividing it by 7 gives us 19cm. Therefore, the length of the drawing is 19cm.

    • D.

      D. 20m 

    • E.

      E. 11m

    Correct Answer
    B. B.    19m   
    Explanation
    The angle of elevation of 45 degrees indicates that the angle between the horizontal line and the line of sight from the point on the ground to the top of the tree is 45 degrees. Since the tree is 15m high, we can use trigonometry to find the distance from the point to the bottom of the tree. Using the tangent function, we can set up the equation tan(45) = 15/x, where x is the distance we want to find. Solving for x, we get x = 15/ tan(45) = 15/1 = 15m. Therefore, the point is 15m away from the bottom of the tree.

    • E.

      E.  7

    Correct Answer
    C. C. 5     
    Explanation
    To simplify the given expression, we need to divide the numerator by the denominator.
    The numerator is 2 1/2x, which can be written as 5/2x.
    The denominator is 5x/8. To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal. So, the reciprocal of 5x/8 is 8/5x.
    Now, we can simplify the expression by multiplying the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator: (5/2x) * (8/5x).
    The x and 5x terms cancel out, leaving us with 5/2 * 8 = 40/2 = 20.
    Therefore, the simplified expression is 20, which is equal to 5.

    • D.

      D. 2x2 + 12x + 10  

    • E.

      E.  x2 + 12x + 20

    Correct Answer
    C. C. x2 -12x – 10
    Explanation
    To expand the given expression, we use the distributive property and the exponent rules. First, we distribute the 2 to each term inside the parentheses: 2 * 4x = 8x, and 2 * 3 = 6. Then, we distribute the (x + 2) to each term inside the parentheses: (x + 2) * 2 = 2x + 4. Now, we combine like terms: 8x + 6 + 2x + 4 = 10x + 10. Finally, we combine the terms without any variables: 10x + 10 = 10x + 10. Hence, the expanded form of the expression is x2 -12x - 10.

      Option 6

    Correct Answer
    A. A. 3ab   
    Explanation
    The given expression can be expanded using the distributive property. When multiplying the terms in the first set of parentheses with the terms in the second set of parentheses, we get:

    (-3a)(-2b) + (-3a)(-4y) + (-5x)(-2b) + (-5x)(-4y)

    Simplifying this expression gives us:

    6ab + 12ay + 10bx + 20xy

    Therefore, the correct answer is C. 6ab + 12ay + 10bx + 20xy.

    • E.

      E.   5          

    Correct Answer
    D. D. 4     
    Explanation
    The mean is calculated by summing up all the values and dividing by the total number of values. In this case, the sum of 2, x, 5, 4, and 3 is 14. Since the mean is given as 3, we can set up the equation (2 + x + 5 + 4 + 3)/5 = 3. Simplifying this equation gives us (14 + x)/5 = 3. Multiplying both sides by 5 gives us 14 + x = 15. Subtracting 14 from both sides gives us x = 1. Therefore, the value of x is 1.

    • D.

      D. 10  

    • E.

      E. 17 

    Correct Answer
    D. D. 10  
    Explanation
    The customer has ₦120.00 airtime. The network service provider charges 20k per second for a call. To determine how many minutes the customer can call for, we need to convert the airtime to kobo (₦1 = 100kobo) and then divide it by the cost per second (20k). ₦120.00 is equal to 12000 kobo. Dividing 12000 by 20 gives us 600 seconds. Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, we divide 600 by 60 to get 10 minutes. Therefore, the customer can call for 10 minutes with ₦120.00 airtime.

      D.  -6    

    • E.

      E.   -3                 

    Correct Answer
    D. D.  -6    
    Explanation
    To evaluate 3a-b/5c, we substitute the given values for a, b, and c.
    Plugging in a = 2, b = 11, and c = 1/2, we get 3(2) - 11 / 5(1/2).
    Simplifying this expression, we have 6 - 11 / 5/2.
    Next, we perform the subtraction first, giving us -5 / 5/2.
    To divide by a fraction, we multiply by its reciprocal, so -5 * 2/5.
    Finally, multiplying -5 by 2 and dividing by 5, we get -10/5, which simplifies to -2.
    Therefore, the correct answer is C. -2.

    • E.

      E. 12       

    Correct Answer
    C. C. 4    
    Explanation
    To find the value of x in the equation 2x + 3y = 17, we can substitute the value of y from the first equation (y = 3x + 13) into the second equation. This gives us 2x + 3(3x + 13) = 17. Simplifying this equation, we get 2x + 9x + 39 = 17. Combining like terms, we have 11x + 39 = 17. Subtracting 39 from both sides, we get 11x = -22. Dividing both sides by 11, we find that x = -2. Therefore, the correct answer is C. 4.

    Correct Answer
    D. D) 505 
    Explanation
    The question states that there are initially 882 passengers in the train station. Out of these, 660 passengers get on the train. To estimate the number of passengers left, we subtract the number of passengers who got on the train from the initial number of passengers. Therefore, the estimated number of passengers left is 882 - 660 = 222. However, none of the given options match this estimate. Therefore, the correct answer cannot be determined based on the given information.

    Correct Answer
    C. C) 11/12    
    Explanation
    Sola used 2/3 cup of sugar for one recipe and 1/4 cup of sugar for the other recipe. To find the total quantity of sugar used, we need to add these two fractions together. To add fractions, we need to have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 12. So, we convert 2/3 to 8/12 and 1/4 to 3/12. Adding these fractions, we get 8/12 + 3/12 = 11/12. Therefore, Sola used 11/12 cup of sugar in total.

    • E.

      E) 2566

    Correct Answer
    D. D) 2090   
    Explanation
    In the given equation, the missing numbers can be represented as follows:

    3 1 1 2
    + x x x x
    5 2 0 2

    From the equation, we can determine that the sum of the first column is 5, the sum of the second column is 2, the sum of the third column is 0, and the sum of the fourth column is 2.

    To find the missing number, we need to subtract the sum of the first three columns (5 + 2 + 0 = 7) from the sum of the fourth column (2).

    Therefore, the missing number is 2 - 7 = -5.

    Adding this missing number to the given equation, we get:

    3 1 1 2
    + -5 -5 -5 -5
    5 2 0 2

    This equation is satisfied, so the missing number is -5.

    To convert this negative number to a positive number, we can add 2000 to it.

    Therefore, the correct answer is 2000 - 5 = 2090.
