Class 9 Math Quiz Questions and Answers

  • 1. 

    If 30% of a number is 18, what is 150% of that number?

    • A.

      54 

    • B.

      60 

    • C.

      90 

    • D.

      150

    Correct Answer
    C. 90 
    Explanation
     First, find the whole number: If 30% of the number is 18, then 10% is 6 (18 / 3 = 6). Therefore, 100% of the number is 60 (6 x 10 = 60).
    To find 150%, calculate 50% of the number, which is 30 (60 / 2 = 30). Add this to the original number: 60 + 30 = 90.

    Rate this question:

  • 2. 

    If x + 5 = 10, then what is the value of x?

    • A.

      5

    • B.

      10

    • C.

      15

    • D.

      -5

    Correct Answer
    A. 5
    Explanation
    To solve for x in the equation x + 5 = 10, you need to isolate x. You do this by subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation.Here’s the step-by-step solution:x + 5 - 5 = 10 - 5,which simplifies to:x = 5.Thus, x equals 5. This solution can be verified by substituting 5 back into the original equation: 5 + 5 = 10, which is true. Therefore, the correct value of x is 5.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Given the equation x2+4x+3=0, what are the values of x?

    • A.

      2 or 3

    • B.

      -1 or -3

    • C.

      1 or 3

    • D.

      5 or -1

    Correct Answer
    B. -1 or -3
    Explanation
    To solve the quadratic equation x^2 + 4x + 3 = 0, you can factorize it:

    (x + 3)(x + 1) = 0

    Setting each factor equal to zero gives:

    x + 3 = 0

    Solving for x, x = -3

    x + 1 = 0

    Solving for x, x = -1

    Thus, the solutions for x are -1 and -3. These are the values that make the original equation true when substituted back into it.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    What is the next number in the sequence: 3, 7, 15, 31, ?

    • A.

      47

    • B.

      63

    • C.

      72

    • D.

      58

    Correct Answer
    B. 63
    Explanation
    The given sequence is increasing, and each number is obtained by doubling the previous number and then adding 1.
    Starting with 3:
    3 * 2 + 1 = 7
    7 * 2 + 1 = 15
    15 * 2 + 1 = 31
    To find the next number, we apply the same pattern:
    31 * 2 + 1 = 63
    So, the next number in the sequence is 63.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Given the equation y2+ 4=20, what are the values of y?

    • A.

      4 only

    • B.

      -4 only

    • C.

      4 or -4

    • D.

      16

    Correct Answer
    C. 4 or -4
    Explanation
    To solve the equation y^2 + 4 = 20, first subtract 4 from both sides:

    y^2 + 4 - 4 = 20 - 4

    This simplifies to:

    y^2 = 16

    Next, find y by taking the square root of both sides. Remember, squaring a number results in a positive value, and the square root of a positive number has both a positive and negative solution:

    y = sqrt(16)

    This gives:

    y = 4 and y = -4

    Therefore, y equals both 4 and -4.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    The price of an item increases by 20% and then decreases by 20%. What is the net effect on the price?

    • A.

      Increased by 4%

    • B.

      Decreased by 4%

    • C.

      Increased by 0%

    • D.

      Increased by 40%

    Correct Answer
    B. Decreased by 4%
    Explanation
    When the price of an item increases by 20% and then decreases by 20%, the net effect is a decrease in the overall price. Here’s how it works:
    Initial Price: Assume the original price is $100.
    After 20% Increase:
    New price = $100 + 20% of $100 = $100 + $20 = $120.
    After 20% Decrease:
    New price = $120 - 20% of $120 = $120 - $24 = $96.
    So, the net effect is a 4% decrease in the original price. The final price is $96, which is less than the original price.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    The ratio of girls to boys in a school is 5:7. If there are 525 girls, how many boys are there?

    • A.

      375

    • B.

      625

    • C.

      735

    • D.

      325

    Correct Answer
    C. 735
    Explanation
    The ratio of girls to boys in the school is 5:7. This means for every 5 girls, there are 7 boys. Given there are 525 girls, we first determine how many times the part of the ratio (5) fits into the actual number of girls (525).

    Calculate the multiplier for the ratio:

    525 (number of girls) / 5 (girl ratio part) = 105

    Now, use this multiplier to find the number of boys:

    Multiply the boy ratio part by the multiplier:

    7 (boy ratio part) x 105 (multiplier) = 735

    Therefore, there are 735 boys in the school.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    David and John share $455 in the ratio of 2:3, respectively. How much money does John get?

    • A.

      $182

    • B.

      $273

    • C.

      $91

    • D.

      $175

    Correct Answer
    B. $273
    Explanation
     David and John share $455 in the ratio of 2:3. This means for every 2 units that David receives, John receives 3 units. To find out how much money each person gets, you first need to determine the total number of parts into which the money is divided:

    Total parts = 2 (David) + 3 (John) = 5 parts

    Now, calculate the value of one part:

    Value of one part = Total money / Total parts = $455 / 5 = $91

    Finally, calculate how much John receives by multiplying the value of one part by the number of parts John receives:

    Money John receives = 3 parts x $91/part = $273

    Therefore, John receives $273.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    If x-12y = 0, what is y/x?

    • A.

      1/6

    • B.

      12

    • C.

      1/12

    • D.

      None

    Correct Answer
    C. 1/12
    Explanation
    To find the ratio of y/x from the equation x-12y = 0, first rearrange the equation to solve for y in terms of x. By moving all terms involving y to one side and all other terms to the opposite side, we get x = 12y. Now, divide both sides of this equation by x to isolate y/x on one side. This gives us y/x = 1/12. Hence, the value of y/x equals 1/12. This is calculated by dividing the coefficient of y by the coefficient of x in the rearranged equation.

    Rate this question:

  • 10.

      0.15

    • D.

      1.5

    Correct Answer
    C. 0.15
    Explanation
     To convert the fraction 3/20 into a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator. The calculation is performed by dividing 3 by 20. When you divide 3 by 20, you get 0.15. Therefore, the decimal equivalent of the fraction 3/20 is 0.15. This decimal value directly results from the division process, representing the proportion of 3 parts out of a total of 20 parts.

    Rate this question:

      680000

    • C.

      68000

    • D.

      0.00068

    Correct Answer
    A. 68,000,000 
    Explanation
    Dividing by a decimal is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. The reciprocal of 0.00001 is 100,000. Therefore, 68 divided by 0.00001 is the same as 68 multiplied by 100,000, which equals 6,800,000.

      28

    • C.

      -36

    • D.

      None

    Correct Answer
    B. 28
    Explanation
    We follow the order of operations (PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)):
    First, multiply:
    4 × 4 = 16
    2 × (-3) = -6
    Now, substitute these values into the expression:
    16 - (-6) + 6
    Subtracting a negative is the same as adding:
    16 + 6 + 6 = 28

    Rate this question:

    What is the result when you reduce $80 by 11%?

    • A.

      $8.80

    • B.

      $71.20

    • C.

      $69

    • D.

      None

    Correct Answer
    B. $71.20
    Explanation
    To find the amount remaining after reducing $80 by 11%, first calculate 11% of $80. Multiply 80 by 0.11 to get the reduction amount. This calculation gives 80 * 0.11 = $8.80. Now, subtract this amount from the original $80 to find the reduced total. The calculation is 80 - 8.80 = $71.20. Therefore, when you reduce $80 by 11%, you will get $71.20. This result is achieved by applying the percentage reduction to the original amount and subtracting the calculated value from the original total.

    • B.

      X=4

    • C.

      X=-4

    • D.

      X=16

    Correct Answer
    B. X=4
    Explanation
    To solve the equation 4(x+2)=24
    Distribute the 4:
    4x+8=24
    Subtract 8 from both sides to isolate the term with x:
    4x=16
    Divide both sides by 4 to solve for x:
    x=16/4
    Therefore, the value of x is 4.

    • A.

      73,74,75

    • B.

      74,74,74

    • C.

      72,74,76

    • D.

      None

    Correct Answer
    C. 72,74,76
    Explanation
    Let the three consecutive even numbers be 

    𝑥, x+2, and x+4.

    Their sum is given by:

    x+(x+2)+(x+4)=222

    Combine like terms:

    3x+6=222

    Subtract 6 from both sides:

    3x=216

    Divide both sides by 3:

    x=72

    Therefore, the three consecutive even numbers are:

    x=72

    x+2=74

    x+4=76

    So, the numbers are 72, 74, and 76.

      -2

    • D.

      None

    Correct Answer
    C. -2
    Explanation
    The gradient of a line represents its steepness or slope. In the given equation, y = 4 - 2x, the coefficient of x (-2) represents the slope of the line. Since the coefficient is negative, the line has a negative slope. Therefore, the gradient of the line y = 4 - 2x is -2.

    Rate this question:

    • C.

      -1/3

    • D.

      None

    Correct Answer
    C. -1/3
    Explanation
    To find the gradient (or slope) of the line, we need to rearrange the equation into slope-intercept form, which is y = mx + c, where m is the gradient.
    Rearrange the equation: x + 3y = 9 3y = -x + 9 y = (-1/3)x + 3
    Identify the gradient: Now the equation is in slope-intercept form, and we can see that the gradient (m) is -1/3.

    • C.

      22

    • D.

      21

    Correct Answer
    C. 22
    Explanation
    First, substitute x=2 into the equation 2x+5y=18:

    2(2)+5y=18

    4+5y=18

    Next, solve for 𝑦 by isolating y:

    5y=18−4

    5y=14

    y=2.8

    Now, substitute x=2 and y=2.8 into the expression 4x+5y:

    4(2)+5(2.8)
    8+14
    22

    Therefore, the value of 4x+5y is 22.

    • B.

      10

    • C.

      36

    • D.

      None

    Correct Answer
    B. 10
    Explanation
    Convert kilometers to meters: 1 kilometer (km) = 1000 meters (m). So, 36 km = 36 * 1000 = 36000 meters.
    Convert hours to seconds: 1 hour = 60 minutes, and 1 minute = 60 seconds. So, 1 hour = 60 * 60 = 3600 seconds.
    Divide the distance in meters by the time in seconds: 36000 meters / 3600 seconds = 10 meters/second.
