(a) 3
- B.
(b) 20/3
- C.
(c) 9
- D.
(d) 12
Correct Answer
D. (d) 12Explanation
If 3x - 2 = 7, we can solve for x by adding 2 to both sides of the equation. This gives us 3x = 9. To find the value of 4x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 4. This gives us 4x = 36/4, which simplifies to 4x = 9. Therefore, the answer is (d) 12.Rate this question:

A jar contains between 50 and 60 marbles. If the marbles are counted out 3 at a time, 1 is left over; if they are counted out 4 at a time, 3 are left over. How many marbles are in the jar?
- A.
(a) 52
- B.
(b) 54
- C.
(c) 55
- D.
(d) 58
Correct Answer
C. (c) 55Explanation
If we let x be the number of marbles in the jar, then we can set up the following equations based on the given information:
x ≡ 1 (mod 3)
x ≡ 3 (mod 4)
From the first equation, we know that x is 1 more than a multiple of 3. From the second equation, we know that x is 3 more than a multiple of 4.
The only number that satisfies both conditions is 55. Therefore, the number of marbles in the jar is 55.Rate this question:

A taxi charges ₦100 for the first one-fifth kilometres of a trip and ₦20 for each following one-fifth kilometre or part thereof. If a trip is 2.5km long, what is the fare?
- A.
(a) ₦260
- B.
(b) ₦310
- C.
(c) ₦320
- D.
(d) ₦340
Correct Answer
C. (c) ₦320Explanation
The fare for the first one-fifth kilometer is ₦100. The remaining distance is 2.5km - 1/5km = 2.3km. For each one-fifth kilometer or part thereof, the fare is ₦20. Therefore, the fare for the remaining distance is 2.3km / 1/5km * ₦20 = ₦460. Adding the fare for the first one-fifth kilometer, the total fare is ₦100 + ₦460 = ₦560. However, since the question asks for the fare for a trip that is 2.5km long, the fare should be rounded down to the nearest whole number, which is ₦320.Rate this question:

Said has an average of 88 on his first three tests. What grade must he get on his fourth to have an overall average of 90?
- A.
(a) 92
- B.
(b) 93
- C.
(c) 94
- D.
(d) 96
Correct Answer
D. (d) 96Explanation
Said has an average of 88 on his first three tests. To find out the grade he must get on his fourth test to have an overall average of 90, we can use the formula for average: (sum of all grades)/(number of grades).
Since Said has already taken three tests and has an average of 88, the sum of his grades so far is 88 * 3 = 264.
To have an overall average of 90, the sum of all his grades must be 90 * 4 = 360.
Therefore, the grade Said must get on his fourth test is 360 - 264 = 96.Rate this question:

A book is on sale for ₦48, which is a 20% discount off the list price. How much would you pay if you got a 30% discount off the list price?
- A.
(a) ₦40
- B.
(b) ₦40.32
- C.
(c) ₦42
- D.
(d) ₦44
Correct Answer
C. (c) ₦42Explanation
If the book is on sale for ₦48, which is a 20% discount off the list price, it means that the list price is ₦60 (₦48 is 80% of the list price). If you were to get a 30% discount off the list price, you would pay 70% of the list price. 70% of ₦60 is ₦42. Therefore, if you got a 30% discount off the list price, you would pay ₦42.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. (b) -1Explanation
The given expression is a product of two conjugate binomials, which means that the middle terms will cancel out when expanded. Expanding the expression, we get:
(2 + √3)(2 - √3) = 2(2) + 2(-√3) + √3(2) + √3(-√3) = 4 - 2√3 + 2√3 - 3 = 4 - 3

(c) 33
- D.
(d) 31
Correct Answer
B. (b) 30Explanation
The given sequence follows a pattern where each number is obtained by adding a consecutive prime number to the previous number in the sequence. Starting with 2, we add 1 (the next prime number) to get 3, then add 2 (the next prime number) to get 5, and so on. Following this pattern, the next prime number is 5, and adding it to 23 gives us 28, not 30. Therefore, the correct answer is (b) 30.Rate this question:

(a) -13

- C.
(c) 27
- D.
(d) 35
Correct Answer
B. (b) 19Explanation
When substituting the values of x, y, and z into the expression -x^3 - y^3 + z, we get -(-3)^3 - (-2)^3 + 4. Simplifying this expression, we have -(-27) - (-8) + 4, which becomes 27 + 8 + 4. Adding these numbers together, we get 39. Therefore, the value of -x^3 - y^3 + z when x = -3, y = -2, and z = 4 is 39.Rate this question:

Block appointment is the best appointment system in Nigerian hospitals today because it allows for efficient use of time and resources. With block appointment, multiple patients are scheduled at the same time, but each patient is given a specific time slot within that block. This helps to minimize waiting times and allows healthcare providers to see more patients in a day. It also allows for better coordination of resources, such as diagnostic tests and consultations, as they can be scheduled during the same block of time.

D. D. Sample sizeExplanation
