B.

2 $$\frac{3}{4}$$

C.

4 $$\frac{3}{8}$$

D.

3 $$\frac{1}{5}$$

Explanation. Give a better Explanation

1¼ ÷ [ 2 ÷ ¼] of 28

Apply BODMAS rules

$$\frac{5}{4}$$ ÷ [ 2 ÷ ¼ $$\times$$ 28 ]

$$\frac{5}{4} ÷ \frac{2}{7}$$

$$\frac{5}{4} \times \frac{7}{2}$$

$$\frac{35}{8}$$

= $$4 \frac{3}{8}$$

$$x^2 + 9x + 20$$

Find the two numbers whose product is 20 and its sum is 9}

$$5x \times 4x = 20x^2$$

$$5x + 4x = 9x$$

$$(x^2 + 5x) + (4x + 20)$$
$$x(x + 5)+ 4(x + 5) = (x + 5)(x + 4)$$

20

Explanation. Give a better Explanation

n(X - Y) = nx + ny - n(xX - Y)

= 15 + 12 - 7

- n(X - Y) = 20

A.

(3, -9)

B.

(-3, 9)

C.

(-3, -9)

D.

(-3, 0)

Explanation. Give a better Explanation

Starting from 3x - z $$\leq$$ 9

x = 0, substitute the value of x (i.e. x = 0) into the equation 3x - z $$\leq$$ 9

3(0) - z $$\leq$$ - 9

z $$\leq$$ - 9

If z = 0

Then, 3x - 0 $$\leq$$ 9

3x $$\leq$$ 9

x $$\leq$$ 3

Intercept of x and z i.e (x,z)

= (3, -9)

C.

log10-40

D.

log104-

Explanation. Give a better Explanation

log101.5 + 3 log102 - log100.3

log101.5 + log1023 - log100.3

[log10(1.5 $$\times$$ 23) ÷ log100.3]

[log10(15/10 $$\times$$ 8 ) ÷ log10( 3/10)]

log10(15/10 $$\times$$ 8 $$\times$$ 10/3 )

log1040

C.

75.4cm2

D.

54.7cm2

Explanation. Give a better Explanation

The total surface area of a cylinder = 2πrl + 2πr2

= 2πr(l + r)

= 2 $$\times$$ 3.14(7+%=5)

2 $$\times$$ 3.14 $$\times$$ 12

= 75.4cm (1DP)

30

D.

25

Explanation. Give a better Explanation

His annual salary = N2000

His allowances = N600

So his taxable income = Annual salary - allowance

= N2000 - N600

= N1400

He pay at 5%

Then, his allowance income tax 5/100 $$\times$$ 600 = N30
