    Introduction

    In this first edition of the NSMQ


    Questions Review Series, we will
    focus on the Maths/Mathematics
    questions in the NSMQ 2023
    Contest 1. I will take you through
    each round, breaking down the
    different math challenges. Let’s dive
    into the numbers and problem-
    solving skills tested in the
    competition.

    Before we begin, I want you know


    that I’ll be using the first of my 3
    focus points on my Math recipe –
    accuracy. If you want to advance
    further and utilize all 3 on the special
    recipe, check the box below.

    Hi there,

    If you are here, we are safe to


    assume you’ve a special interest in
    the NSMQ competition. Else if, you
    are preparing for WASSCE, SAT,
    ACT, AP,GSCE or any aptitude
    test. Else, you are a lover of
    Maths/Mathematics, Biology,
    Chemistry and Physics.

    We have a proposal for you.

    NSMQ 2023 Contest 1

    This was a one-eighth (1/8th)


    contest between Ghanata SHS,
    Wesley Girls’ High School and
    Archbishop Porter Girls’ SHS.
    From the picture above, you can see
    how good or bad the schools
    performed, but that doesn’t tell the
    whole story. Follow me as I dissect
    the mathematical component of the
    whole story, from round one(nsmq
    fundamentals) to Speed race to the
    nsmq Problem of the day to the
    True/False round..

    Round One (NSMQ


    Fundamentals)

    Set 1 – School A

    Answer

    We might not know what the


    cartesian or its equation is, but we
    can note two points from the
    question.

    Our answer must be an


    equation.
    It must be expressed in terms
    of x and y.

    We can deduce that point 2 can only


    be realized with a change of subject.
    Then, we need to look at the
    equation again to see if another
    variable exists to become our
    subject.
    Luckily for us, both equations have
    only one other variable. Therefore,
    we can comfortably go ahead and
    effect the change of subject.

    Now we have expressed them in


    terms of x and y, we have to form an
    equation (as per the point 1).

    This takes us to trigonometry. The


    only possible to form a single
    equation from the two trigonometric
    equations is to use a trigonometric
    identity that relates those two.

    This can be a final answer, unless


    you were asked to simplify further.

    Set 1 – School B

    Answer

    Just like we approached the previous


    question, same thing we are going to
    do here. You can see it’s a similar
    question. In fact, they are part of the
    same set with a single preamble.

    You can try it yourself if you truly


    understood the first one and
    compare your answer with the one
    I’ll provide below.

    First, we will express our equations


    in terms of x and y using change of
    subject. Then, we’ll use our
    trigonometric identities to get the
    Cartesian equation.

    Set 1 – School C

    Answer

    I believe you now know how to


    approach a question of this sort and
    won’t hestitate to solve it anytime.
    Since the understanding is there, I
    will go sraight to the solution.

    Set 2 – School C

    Answer

    Round Two (NSMQ


    Speed Race)

    Set 1 – First Question

    Answer

    Set 1 – Second Question

    Answer

    If you familiar with two-set


    problems and venn diagrams, then
    you know that the universal set n(U)
    is found by adding n(A) and n(B) as
    well as those not found in either A
    or B and then subtracting their Earn $2.5 per answer Open
    intersection n(A n B). Same with
