Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
x10 = 12145
= x10 = 1 x 53 + 2 x 52 + 1 * 51 + 4 x 50
= 1 x 125 + 2 x 25 + 1 x 5 + 4 x 1
= 125 + 50 + 5 + 4

A
2(1 + x)
B
2 + 3x
C
2(1 - x)
D
2 - 3x
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
log1012.5 = log10 121/2
= log1025/2
= log1025 - log102
= log1052 - log102
= 2log105 - log102
= 2log1010/2 - log102
= 2(1-x)- x
= 2 - 2x – x
= 2 – 3x

Solution
A man made a profit of 5% when he sold an article for N60,000.00. How much would he have sell the article to make a profit of 26%
A
N68,000
B
N72,000
C
N65,000
D
N70,000
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
5% profit = 100 + 5 = 105%
26% profit = 100 + 26 = 126%
∴ 105% → N60,000
1% → \(\frac{60000}{105}\)
126% = \(\frac{60000}{105}\) x \(\frac{126}{1}\)
= N72,000.

A
-4/3
B
-3/4
C
4/3

Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
If the line 3y = 4x – 1 is parallel t[ line qy = x + 3
Implies gradient of 3y = 4x – 1
Y = 4/3x - 1/3
∴Gradient = 4/3
Gradient of line qy = x + 3
Y = 1/qx + 3/q
∴ Gradient = 1/q
4/3 = 1/q
4q = 3

Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
x = 30o (alternate ∠s b/c PQ//Sr)
Y = 50o (vertical opposite ∠s)
r = 30o (alternate ∠s b/c PQ//SR)
But = y + q + t = 180o (∠s on a straight line)

Plane Geometry, Polygons & Circle Theorems
Solution
A particle P moves between points S and T such that angles SPT is always constant of ST constant. Find the locus of P
A
It is a semi circle with ST as diameter
B
It is a perpendicular bisector of St
C
It is a quadrant of a circle with ST as diameter
D
It is a straight line perpendicular to ST
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
When a particle P moves such that the angle ∠SPT is constant while ST remains fixed, it traces a circular path. Specifically, the locus of P is a semicircle because points on the circle subtended by the line segment ST maintain that angle.

If the lines 2y - kx + 2 = 0 and y + x - k/2 = 0 Intersect at (1, -2), find the value of k
A
-4
B
-3
C
-2
D
-1
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
If the point of intersection is (1, -2), it implies that x = 1 and y = -2 when the two equation are solved simultaneously.
∴ substitute x = 1 and y = -2 in any of the equations
2y - k x + 2 = 0
2(-2) - k(1) + 2 = 0
-4 - k + 2 = 0
-4 + 2 = k
-2 = k
