Name: Class: ID:
1) Which of the following describes ?(Algebra1)
a. Irrational number √
b. Integer
c. Real number √
d. Natural number
Answer and Explanation :
Natural numbers are counting numbers. So, is not a natural number.
Integers are natural numbers including 0 . So its also not an integer.
√7 = 2.64575 so its irrational number and also Real number because real number is
include all types of numbers.

hour?(Ratios)
q. 30
r. 300
s. 7200
t. 18000 √
Answer and Explanation :
There is 60 seconds In a minute and 60 minutes in one hour. So you should multiply
1 second by 60 and 60. 1x60x60= 3600. And the object travels 5 feet per 1 second so
: = -> -> feets

8. 9) Which of the following could be a value of x, in the diagram
above?(Algebra1)
gg. 10
hh. 20 √
ii. 40
jj. Any of above
Answer and Explanation :
The marked angle, ABC must be more than 90 degrees because it is the external
angle of triangle BDC, and must be equal to the sum of angles BDC (90) and DCB.
Also ABC is not a straight line and must be less than 180. Therefore 90 < 5x <
180 The only value of x which satisfies this relation is 20.
10)Helpers are needed to prepare for the fete. Each helper can make either 2
large cakes per hour, or 35 small cakes per hour. The kitchen is available for
3 hours and 20 large cakes and 700 small cakes are needed. How many
helpers are required?(Algebra1)
kk. 10√
ll. 15
mm. 20
nn. 25
Answer and Explanation :
20 large cakes will require the equivalent of 10 helpers working for one hour. 700
small cakes will require the equivalent of 20 helpers working for one hour. This
means if only one hour were available we would need 30 helpers. But since three
hours are available we can use 10 helpers.
9. 11)n and p are integers greater than 1. 5n is the square of a number. 75np is
the cube of a number. The smallest value for n + p is ? (Algebra1)
oo. 14√
pp. 18
qq. 20
rr. 30
Answer and Explanation :
The smallest value for n such that 5n is a square is 5. 75np can now be written as
75 x 5 x p. This gives prime factors.... 3 x 5 x 5 x 5 x p To make the expression a
perfect cube, p will have to have factors 3 x 3 , and hence p =9 n + p = 5 + 9 = 14.
12)After being dropped a certain ball always bounces back to 2/5 of the height
of its previous bounce. After the first bounce it reaches a height of 125
inches. How high (in inches) will it reach after its fourth bounce? (Geometric)
ss. 20
tt. 15
uu. 8√
vv. 5
Answer and Explanation :
If after each bounce it reaches 2/5 of the previous height, then after the second
bounce it will reach 2/5 x 125. After the third it will reach 2/5 x 2/5 x 125. After the
fourth it will reach 2/5 x 2/5 x 2/5 x 125. This cancels down to 2 x 2 x 2 = 8.
13)If n ≠ 0, which of the following must be greater than n?
I 2n
II n²
III 2 - n
(Algebra1)
ww. I only
xx. II only
yy. I and II only
zz. II and III only
aaa. None √
10. Answer and Explanation :
Remember that n could be positive negative or a fraction. Try out a few cases: In
case I, if n is -1, then 2n is less than n. In case II, if n is a fraction such as ½ then n2
will be less than n. In case III, if n is 2, then 2-n = 0, which is less than n. Therefore,
none of the choices must be greater than n.
14)ABCD is a square of side 3, and E and F are the mid points of sides AB and BC
respectively. What is the area of the quadrilateral EBFD ?(Algebra1)
bbb. 2.25
ccc. 2.5
ddd. 4.5√
eee. 5
Answer and Explanation :
(Total area of square - sum of the areas of triangles ADE and DCF) will give the area
of the quadrilateral 9 - (2 x ½ x 3 x 1.5) = 4.5
15)If f(x) = (x + 2) / (x-2) for all integers except x=2, which of the following has
the greatest value?(Algebra1)
fff. F(1)√
ggg. F(2)
hhh. F(3) √
iii. F(4)
Answer and Explanation :
You can solve this by back solving – substitute the answer choices in the expression
and see which gives the greatest value. A (-1 + 2) / (-1-2) = -2 / 2 = -1; B (0 + 2) /
(0-2) = 2/ -2 = -1; C (1 + 2) / (1-2) = 3/-1 = -3; D (3 + 2) / (3-2) = 5/1 = 5; E (4+
2) / (4-2) = 6/2 = 3 If you had just chosen the largest value for x you would have
been wrong. So although it looks a long method, it is actually quick and accurate
since the numbers are really simple and you can do the math in your head.
11. 16)Which of the following describes ?(Algebra1)
jjj. Irrational number √
kkk. Integer
lll. Real number √
mmm. Natural number
Answer and Explanation :
Natural numbers are counting numbers. So, is not a natural number.
Integers are natural numbers including 0 . So its also not an integer.
√7 = 2.64575 so its irrational number and also Real number because real number is
include all types of numbers.
17)Two sets of 4 consecutive positive integers have exactly one integer in
common. The sum of the integers in the set with greater numbers is how
much greater than the sum of the integers in the other set?(Algebra1)
nnn. 4
ooo. 8
ppp. 12√
qqq. it cannot be determined from the information given.
Answer and Explanation :
If two sets of four consecutive integers have one integer in common, the total in the
combined set is 7., and we can write the sets as n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) + (n + 3 )
and (n + 3) + (n + 4) + (n + 5) + (n + 6) Note that each term in the second set is 3
more than the equivalent term in the first set. Since there are four terms the total of
the differences will be 4 x 3 = 12.
18)A 3 by 4 rectangle is inscribed in circle. What is the circumference of the
circle? (Algebra1)
rrr.2.5π
sss.5π√
ttt. 7.5 π
uuu. 10 π
Answer and Explanation :
Draw the diagram. The diagonal of the rectangle is the diameter of the circle.
The diagonal is the hypotenuse of a 3,4,5 triangle, and is therefore,
5. Circumference = π.diameter = 5π.
12. 19)Jo's collection contains US, Indian and British stamps. If the ratio of US to
Indian stamps is 5 to 2 and the ratio of Indian to British stamps is 5 to 1, what
is the ratio of US to British stamps?(Algebra1)
vvv. 5 : 1
www. 10 : 5
xxx. 20 : 2
yyy. 25 : 2√
Answer and Explanation :
Indian stamps are common to both ratios. Multiply both ratios by factors such that
the Indian stamps are represented by the same number. US : Indian = 5 : 2, and
Indian : British = 5 : 1. Multiply the first by 5, and the second by 2. Now US : Indian
= 25 : 10, and Indian : British = 10 : 2 Hence the two ratios can be combined and US
: British = 25 : 2
20)What is the average (arithmetic mean) of all the multiples of ten from 10 to
190 inclusive?(Arithmetic)
zzz. 90
aaaa. 95
bbbb. 100√
cccc. 110
Answer and Explanation :
You could add up all the multiples of 10 (10 + 20 + 30 ....+190), and divide by the
number of terms (19). Or you could realize that the average of an evenly spaced
series of numbers is equal to the value of the middle term (or the average of the two
middle terms if there are an even number of terms). The middle term out of 19 is
the tenth term in the series = 100.
