- 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. 300Explanation
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.Rate this question:

A. 6m
- B.
B. 12m
- C.
C. 23m
- D.
D. 16m
- E.
E. 40m
Correct Answer
B. B. 12mExplanation
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.Rate this question:

E. 14
Correct Answer
D. D. 21Explanation
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.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. B. 1500Explanation
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.Rate this question:

B. 19m
- C.
C. 15m
- D.
D. 20m
- E.
E. 11m
Correct Answer
B. B. 19mExplanation
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.Rate this question:

- B.
B. 4
- C.
C. 5
- D.
D. 6
- E.
E. 7
Correct Answer
C. C. 5Explanation
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.Rate this question:

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.Rate this question:

- Evaluate 3a-b/ 5c given that a = 2, b = 11 and c = 1/2
- A.
A. 5
- B.
B. -4
- C.
C. – 2
- D.
D. -6
- E.
E. -3
Correct Answer
D. D. -6Explanation
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.Rate this question:

- Given that y = 3x + 13, find the value of x in 2x + 3y = 17.
- A.
A. – 2
- B.
B. -4
- C.
C. 4
- D.
D. 7
- E.
E. 12
Correct Answer
C. C. 4Explanation
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.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. D) 505Explanation
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.Rate this question:

- C.
C) 2190
- D.
D) 2090
- E.
E) 2566
Correct Answer
D. D) 2090Explanation
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.Rate this question:
