Solution
A machine valued at N20,000 depreciates by 10% every year. What will be the value of the machine at the end of two years?
A
N16,200
B
N14,200
C
N12,000
D
N8,000
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
Since it depreciates by 10% At the end of first year, its value = 90% of 20000
= \(\frac{90}{100}\) x 20000 =18000
At the end of second year, its value = 90% of 18000
= \(\frac{90}{100}\) x 18000 = ₦16,200

Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
Total frequency = 1 + 2 + 7 + 5 + 4 + 3 = 22
Median is the middle number
= \(\frac{Nth}{2}\)
term = \(\frac{22th}{2}\) = 11th term
Going in ascending order, 11th term is 3, going in descending order 11th term is 3
Median = 3 + \(\frac{3}{2}\) = \(\frac{6}{2}\) = 3

Solution
A car uses one litre of petrol for every 14km. If one litre of petrol cost N63.00, how far can the car go with N900.00 worth of petrol?
A
420Km
B
405Km
C
210Km
D
200Km
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
since 1litre cost ₦63
So ₦900 is the cost of \(\frac{900}{63}\) litres
= 14.2857litres of petrol
nbsp; The car uses 1 litre for 14km
So 14.2857 litres will be used for (14.2857 x 14)
= 200km

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
In terms of distance, a circle has a total distance or perimeter of 2\pir or \pid
Where r is radius and d is the diameter
So perimeter = \(\frac{22}{7}\) x 100
= 314.2857m
To cover a distance of 1000m, he is going to round the circular track for \(\frac{1000}{314.2857}\) = 3.18
\(\approxeq\) 3 (to the nearest whole number)

B
\(\frac{9}{17}\)
C
\(\frac{8}{15}\)
D
\(\frac{12}{17}\)
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
Given length of the room = 12m; breadth = 9m and height = 8m.
The room is a cuboid in shape, therefore the length of the diagonal = \(\sqrt{l^2 + b^2 + h^2}\)
= \(\sqrt{12^2 + 9^2 + 8^2}\)
=\(\sqrt{289}\)
= 17m.
The diagonal makes an angle with the diagonal of the floor: \(\sqrt{12^2 + 9^2}\)
= \(\sqrt{225}\)
= 15m
The cosine of the angle that the diagonal makes with the floor (\(\theta\)) = \(\frac{15}{17}\).

B
7x + 5y = 70
C

D
15x + 17y = 90
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
Find the equation of the line through (5,7) parallel to the line 7x + 5y = 12
m\(_1\) = m\(_2\) condition for parallelism
From 7x + 5y = 12
5y = -7x + 12
y = \(\frac{-7x}{5}\) + \(\frac{12}{5}\)
m\(_1\) = \(\frac{-7}{5}\) = m\(_2\)
equation of the line = y - y\(_1\) = m\(_2\)[x - x\(_1\)]
y - 7 = \(\frac{-7}{5}\)[x - 5]
5(y - 7) = -7(x - 5)
5y - 35 = -7x + 35
5y + 7x = 35 + 35
5y + 7x = 70
