-
8
-

-
19
Correct Answer
A. 8Explanation
The series is formed by adding 7, 2, 6, and 3 successively to the previous number. However, the number 8 does not follow this pattern as it is not formed by adding any specific number to the previous number. Hence, 8 does not belong to the given series.Rate this question:

If n is an odd number then 3n is also an odd number.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
If n is an odd number, it means that it cannot be divided evenly by 2. When we multiply an odd number by 3, the result will still not be divisible by 2, making it an odd number as well. Therefore, the statement that if n is an odd number then 3n is also an odd number is true.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. 3Explanation
The given equation is a quadratic equation in the form of ax^2 + bx + c = 0. By factoring the equation, we can find the values of x that satisfy the equation. In this case, we can factor the equation as (x - 3)(x + 5) = 0. Therefore, the values of x that satisfy the equation are x = 3 and x = -5. However, since the question states that x > 0, the only valid solution is x = 3.Rate this question:

In a right triangle, if the two legs are 6 and 8 respectively then what is the length of the hypotenuse?
-
4
-
6
-
8
-
10
Correct Answer
A. 10Explanation
In a right triangle, the Pythagorean theorem states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two legs. In this case, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to 6^2 + 8^2 = 36 + 64 = 100. Taking the square root of 100 gives us a length of 10 for the hypotenuse.Rate this question:

The cuboid is made up of 1-cm cubes. The volume of the cuboid is ... cm3
-
35
-
40
-
45
-
50
Correct Answer
A. 45Explanation
The volume of a cuboid can be calculated by multiplying its length, width, and height. Since the cuboid is made up of 1-cm cubes, the length, width, and height of the cuboid are all 5 cm. Therefore, the volume of the cuboid is 5 cm x 5 cm x 5 cm = 125 cm3. Since none of the given options match this calculation, the correct answer is not available.Rate this question:

What fraction of the circles are shaded?
-
1/2
-
3/5
-
7/15
-
8/15
Correct Answer
A. 8/15Explanation
To find the fraction of shaded circles, we need to count the number of shaded circles and divide it by the total number of circles. In this case, the number of shaded circles is 8 and the total number of circles is 15. Therefore, the fraction of shaded circles is 8/15.Rate this question:

The cost of 4 tennis rackets and 3 badminton rackets was $580. The cost of 2 tennis rackets and 2 badminton rackets was $320. What was the cost of a badminton racket?
-
$40
-
$60
-
$80
-
$100
Correct Answer
A. $60Explanation
Let's assume the cost of a tennis racket is x and the cost of a badminton racket is y. From the given information, we can form two equations: 4x + 3y = 580 and 2x + 2y = 320. By solving these equations simultaneously, we can find the values of x and y. Subtracting the second equation from the first equation, we get 2x + y = 260. Substituting the value of y from this equation into the second equation, we get 2x + 2(260 - 2x) = 320. Solving this equation, we find x = 120. Substituting this value into the first equation, we get 4(120) + 3y = 580. Solving this equation, we find y = 60. Therefore, the cost of a badminton racket is $60.Rate this question:

A group of students took an English test. The bar graph shows the scores obtained by the students. What percentage of the students had a score of 80 and above?
-
30%
-
40%
-
50%
-
60%
Correct Answer
A. 40%Explanation
The bar graph shows the scores obtained by the students. To find the percentage of students who scored 80 and above, we need to add up the number of students who scored 80 and above and divide it by the total number of students. Looking at the bar graph, it can be observed that the bar representing scores of 80 and above is larger than the bar representing scores below 80. Therefore, it can be concluded that more than 30% of students scored 80 and above. Among the given options, the closest percentage to this observation is 40%, making it the correct answer.Rate this question:

A pair of socks costs $3. John bought a shirt with 1/3 of his money. He then used 2/5 of the remainder to buy 8 pairs of socks. How much money did he have at first?
-
60
-
80
-
90
-
100
Correct Answer
A. 90Explanation
John bought a shirt with 1/3 of his money, which means he had 2/3 of his money remaining. He then used 2/5 of this remaining money to buy 8 pairs of socks. If 2/5 of the money is equal to 8 pairs of socks, then 1/5 of the money is equal to 4 pairs of socks. So, if 1/5 is equal to 4 pairs, then the total amount of money he had remaining is 5 times 4, which is 20. Since he had 2/3 of his money remaining, we can calculate that 2/3 is equal to 20, so the total amount of money he had at first is 3 times 20, which is 60. Therefore, the correct answer is 60.Rate this question:

This year, Peter is 10 years older than his younger brother John. 5 years later, Peter's age is double than John. How old is Peter now?
-
5 years old
-
10 years old
-
15 years old
-
20 years old
Correct Answer
A. 15 years oldExplanation
Peter's age is 10 years older than John's age. If we let John's age be x, then Peter's age would be x + 10. Five years later, Peter's age would be (x + 10) + 5 = x + 15, and John's age would be x + 5. It is given that Peter's age is double John's age, so we can write the equation (x + 15) = 2(x + 5). Solving this equation, we get x = 5. Therefore, John is currently 5 years old, and Peter's age is 5 + 10 = 15 years old.Rate this question:

The solid is made up of 3-cm cubes. What is the volume of the solid?
-
27 cm3
-
90 cm3
-
270 cm3
-
810 cm3

A. 270 cm3Explanation
The volume of a solid can be calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height of the solid. In this case, since the solid is made up of 3-cm cubes, the length, width, and height of the solid would each be 3 cm. Therefore, the volume of the solid would be 3 cm x 3 cm x 3 cm = 27 cm3.Rate this question:

Betty, Carol, and Daisy shared $400. Carol had $60 more than Betty. Daisy had 1/3 of what Betty and Carol had altogether. How much did Betty have?
-
$100
-
$180
-
$150
-
$120
Correct Answer
A. $120Explanation
Carol had $60 more than Betty and Daisy had 1/3 of what Betty and Carol had altogether. This means that if Betty had x dollars, Carol had x + $60 dollars, and Daisy had 1/3 * (x + (x + $60)) dollars. We know that the total amount they shared was $400. So, we can set up the equation x + (x + $60) + 1/3 * (x + (x + $60)) = $400. Simplifying this equation gives us 7x/3 + $80 = $400. Solving for x gives us x = $120. Therefore, Betty had $120.Rate this question:
