A
purple
B
pink
C
yellow
D
orange
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
The colour of a neutral litmus solution is purple.

Periodic Table & Periodicity
Solution
Beryllium and aluminum have similar properties because they?
A
are both metals
B
belong to the same group
C
belong to the same period
D
are positioned diagonally to each other
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
At the beginning of periods 2 and 3 of the Periodic Table, there are several cases where an element at the top of one group has some similarities with an element in the next group.
For example, boron is a non-metal with some properties rather like silicon. Unlike the rest of Group 2, beryllium has some properties resembling aluminium. And lithium has some properties which differ from the other elements in Group 1, and in some ways resembles magnesium.
There is said to be a diagonal relationship between these elements.
There are several reasons for this, but each depends on the way atomic properties like electronegativity vary around the Periodic Table.

Find the value of 1101112 + 101002
A
11010112
B
10010012
C
10010112
D
10011112
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
To find \( 110111_2 + 10100_2 \):
Convert to decimal: \(110111_2 = 55_{10}, \quad 10100_2 = 20_{10}\)
Add: \(55 + 20 = 75\)
Convert back to binary: \(75_{10} = 1001011_2\)
Final result: \(110111_2 + 10100_2 = 1001011_2\)
OR
\(\begin{array}{r}
110111_2 \\
+ 010100_2 \\
\hline
1001011_2
\end{array}\)
\(\therefore \; 110111_2 + 10100_2 = 1001011_2\)

Solution
A woman bought a grinder for N60,000. She sold it at a loss of 15%. How much did she sell it?
A
N53,000
B
N52,000
C
N51,000
D
N50,000
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
SP = Nx
CP = N60,000
Percentage loss = 15%
Using percentage loss...
\(\frac{CP - SP}{CP} = \text{100%}\)
\(\text{15%} = \frac{60000 - x}{60000} \times \text{100%}\)
\(\text{15%} \times 60000 = (60000 - x)\text{100%}\)
\(60000 - x = \frac{\text{15%} \times 60000}{\text{100%}}\)
60000 - x = 3 x 3000
60000 -x = 9000
x = 60000 - 9000
x = N51,000

0.00043 x 2000
= 43 x 10-5 x 2 x 103
= 43 x 2 x 10-5+3
= 86 x 10-2
= 8.6 x 101 x 10-2
= 8.6 x 10-1

Solution
A man donates 10% of his monthly net earnings to his church. If it amounts to N4,500, what is his net monthly income?
A
N40,500
B
N45,000
C
N52,500
D
N62,000
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
Let;
M = Man monthly net earnings
Then;
\(\text{N4500} = \frac{\text{10%}}{\text{100%}} \times M \)
\(M = \frac{\text{N4500} \times \text{100%}}{\text{10%}} \)
M = N45,000

Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
\(= \frac{2\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}} \times \frac{\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3}}\)
\(= \frac{2\sqrt{2}(\sqrt{2}) + (2\sqrt{2})(-\sqrt{3})-\sqrt{3}(\sqrt{2})-\sqrt{3}(-\sqrt{3})}{(\sqrt{2})^2-(\sqrt{3})^2}\)
\(= \frac{2 \times 2 - 2\sqrt{6} - \sqrt{6} + 3}{2 - 3}\)
\(= \frac{4 - 3\sqrt{6} + 3}{-1}\)
\(= \frac{7 - 3\sqrt{6}}{-1}\)
\(= \frac{7}{-1} - \frac{3\sqrt{6}}{-1}\)
\(= -7 + 3\sqrt{6}\)
\(= 3\sqrt{6}-7\)
