(A)7(B)6(C)5(D)4

SOLUTION

4x=7(mod9)
Constructingmod9multiplicationTable

4×1=4(4mod9)

4×2=8(8mod9)
4×3=12(3mod9)
4×4=16(7mod9).
Hence,x=4(D)

=log1o10+210g103
=log1o10+log1037
=log1o10+log109
=log10(10×9)

(A)N470,000.00B)$480,000.00C)N490,000.00DN500,000.00

SOLUTION

Amount(A)=N550,000.00

Principal(P)=x
Simpleinterest(r)=2%=0.02
Time(n)=5years

Recall,
A=P(1+r)"

:550,000=x(1+0.02)5
550.000=x(140.02)5
=550,000=x(1.02)5
=550,000=x(1.02)5
=550,000=1.104080803x
550,000
#x=1.104080803=498,151.9455
Hence,Principal(x)~500,000-00D)

9.Ifx=3andy=-1,evaluate2(x-y').
Close and accept
(A)24(B)22(C)20(D)16

SOLUTION

X=3andy=-1

Substitutingx=3andy=-1in2(x?-y%).
=2[32-(-1)3|
=2[9-(-1)]
=2[9+1]=2×10=20(C).

 10.Solve3x-2y=10andx+3y=7simultaneously

(A)x=-4andy=1(B)x=-1andy=-4(C)x=1andy=4(D)x=4andy=1

SOLUTION
3x-2y=10..
x+3y=7

Fromequation(ii),x=7-3y
Substitutingx=7-3yinequation(i)

3(7-3y)-2v=10
=21-9y-2y=10
Tofindx,substitutey=1inequation(ii)
=21-11v=10
x+3(1)=7
=21-10=11y
x+3=7
=11=11y
x=7-3
DividebothSidesby11
..y=4.

y=1.

Hence,x=4andy=1(D).ORCANBEWRITTENAS(4,1)

CHECK:3x-2y=10=3(4)-2(1)=10=12-2=10.Correct!
x+3y=7=4+3(1)=7=4+3=7.Correct!

12.ThefirsttermofaGeometricProgression(G.P.)is3andthe5thtermis48.Findthecommon

SOLUTION

firstterm(a)=3,5thterm(Ts)=48,Commonratio(r)=?
(Since5thtermisgivenitmeansn=5)

SOLUTION

Thespeedof72km/himpliesthatBusAwilltravel72kmin1hour.
Thespeedof48km/himpliesthatBusBwilltravel48kmin1hour.
In2hours,thetwobuseswillbe(72+48)km=120kmapart.
Then,in4hourstheywillbe240kmapart.
Hence,thetimetheywillbe240kmapartwillbe9:00am+4hours=1:00pm(A).
