    Correct Answer
    D. D. 12m2 – 11mn + 2n2                       ​​​​​​​
    Explanation
    The given question asks for the product of two binomials: (4m - n) and (3m - 2n). To find the product, we can use the distributive property. Multiplying the first terms of each binomial gives us 4m * 3m = 12m^2. Multiplying the outer terms gives us 4m * -2n = -8mn. Multiplying the inner terms gives us -n * 3m = -3mn. And finally, multiplying the last terms gives us -n * -2n = 2n^2. Combining all these terms, we get 12m^2 - 8mn - 3mn + 2n^2, which simplifies to 12m^2 - 11mn + 2n^2. Therefore, the correct answer is D. 12m^2 - 11mn + 2n^2.

    • D.

      D. 15      

    Correct Answer
    D. D. 15      
    Explanation
    The mean of a set of numbers is the sum of all the numbers divided by the total number of numbers. In this case, the mean is 13. To find the value of x, we need to determine what number, when added to the set, will result in a mean of 13. By adding up the given numbers (12 + 11 + 14 = 37) and subtracting this sum from the total sum needed for a mean of 13 multiplied by the total number of numbers (13 x 4 = 52), we find that x must be 15 (52 - 37 = 15). Therefore, the value of x is 15.

      D. A ruler and pencil          

    Correct Answer
    C. C. A ruler and a pair of compasses
    Explanation
    To bisect a line, a ruler is needed to measure and draw the line. However, a pair of compasses is required to accurately divide the line into two equal parts. The compasses can be adjusted to the desired length and then used to mark two points equidistant from the endpoints of the line. These points will divide the line into two equal halves. Therefore, option C, which includes both a ruler and a pair of compasses, is the correct answer.

    Correct Answer
    B. B. N4, 000        
    Explanation
    Ola, Tope, and Jide's shares are in the ratio of 3:4:5 respectively. To find Jide's share, we need to calculate what fraction of the total amount N9,600 corresponds to Jide's share.

    The total ratio is 3+4+5 = 12. To find Jide's share, we divide his ratio (5) by the total ratio (12) and multiply it by the total amount (N9,600).

    Jide's share = (5/12) * N9,600 = N4,000.

    Therefore, Jide's share is N4,000.

    • D.

      D. 4/5                                     

    Correct Answer
    C. C. 2/5      
    Explanation
    The equation can be solved by cross-multiplying. Multiply both sides of the equation by y to get rid of the fraction. This gives us 2 1/2 * y = 1. Simplifying the left side of the equation, we have 5/2 * y = 1. To solve for y, divide both sides of the equation by 5/2. This gives us y = 1 / (5/2) which simplifies to y = 2/5. Therefore, the correct answer is C. 2/5.

    The number of pupils in a school is 875. If 350 are girls, what percentage of the pupils are boys?

    • A.

      A. 16%      

    • B.

      B. 60%     

    • C.

      C. 25%     

    • D.

      D. 45&                          

    Correct Answer
    B. B. 60%     
    Explanation
    If there are 875 pupils in total and 350 are girls, then the remaining number of pupils must be boys. To find the percentage of boys, we can subtract the number of girls from the total number of pupils and divide by the total number of pupils. (875 - 350) / 875 = 525 / 875 = 0.6. Multiplying by 100 to convert to a percentage, we get 60%. Therefore, the percentage of pupils who are boys is 60%.

    • A.

      A. 324     

    • B.

      B. 224 

    • C.

      C. 196 

    • D.

      D. 169   

    Correct Answer
    B. B. 224 
    Explanation
    The numbers given are all square numbers, except for 224. A square number is a number that can be expressed as the product of an integer multiplied by itself. For example, 324 is a square number because it can be expressed as 18 multiplied by 18 (18^2 = 324). Similarly, 196 is a square number because it can be expressed as 14 multiplied by 14 (14^2 = 196). 169 is a square number because it can be expressed as 13 multiplied by 13 (13^2 = 169). However, 224 is not a square number because there is no integer that can be multiplied by itself to give 224.

    Solve 5m/6 = 3 1/3

    • A.

      A. 60       

    • B.

      B. 40     

    • C.

      C. 10     

    • D.

      D. 4    

    Correct Answer
    D. D. 4    
    Explanation
    To solve the equation 5m/6 = 3 1/3, we can convert the mixed fraction 3 1/3 to an improper fraction. 3 1/3 is equal to (3 * 3 + 1)/3 = 10/3. Now, we can rewrite the equation as 5m/6 = 10/3. To solve for m, we can cross multiply. 5m * 3 = 6 * 10. Simplifying this gives us 15m = 60. Dividing both sides by 15, we find that m = 4. Therefore, the correct answer is D. 4.

    If 2x0 and 4x0 are supplementary  angles. What is the value of x?     

    • A.

      A. 750       

    • B.

      B. 600        

    • C.

      C. 450     

    • D.

      D. 300

    Correct Answer
    D. D. 300
    Explanation
    If 2x0 and 4x0 are supplementary angles, it means that their sum is equal to 180 degrees. Therefore, we can set up the equation 2x0 + 4x0 = 180 and solve for x. Combining like terms, we get 6x0 = 180. Dividing both sides by 6, we find that x0 = 30. Therefore, the value of x is 30 multiplied by 10, which equals 300.

    If 15 men dig a trench for 10 days, how many men  will be required to dig the trench in 2 days?                    

    • A.

      A. 150 men     

    • B.

      B. 75 men

    • C.

      C. 60 men       

    • D.

      D. 30 men 

    Correct Answer
    B. B. 75 men
    Explanation
    If 15 men can dig a trench in 10 days, it means that the total work required to dig the trench is equivalent to 15 men working for 10 days. Therefore, the total work done by these 15 men is 15 * 10 = 150 man-days.

    To find out how many men will be required to dig the trench in 2 days, we need to divide the total work required (150 man-days) by the number of days (2).

    Therefore, the number of men required is 150 man-days / 2 days = 75 men.

    Hence, the correct answer is B. 75 men.

    Correct Answer
    C. C. 5.00   
    Explanation
    The mean score is calculated by adding up all the scores and then dividing the sum by the total number of scores. In this case, the sum of the scores is 2 + 3 + 0 + 8 + 7 + 5 + 9 + 6 = 40. Since there are 8 scores in total, the mean score is 40/8 = 5.00. Therefore, the correct answer is C. 5.00.

    Correct Answer
    C. C. Twenty – three trillion and five hundred billion
    Explanation
    When rounding off to 3 significant figures, we start counting from the leftmost non-zero digit. In this case, the leftmost non-zero digit is 2. The next two digits after 2 are 3 and 4, which are less than 5. Therefore, we do not round up the 2. The remaining digits after the third significant figure are ignored. Therefore, the rounded off number is 23 trillion and 500 billion.

      C. 0     

    • D.

      D. 1              

    Correct Answer
    D. D. 1              
    Explanation
    The mode of a set of numbers is the value that appears most frequently. In this set, the number 7 appears three times, which makes it the mode. The median is the middle value when the numbers are arranged in ascending order. If we arrange the numbers in ascending order, we get 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 9. The middle value is 6, so the median is 6. The difference between the median and the mode is 6 - 7 = -1. Therefore, the correct answer is D. 1.
