In the last five seasons, what was the difference in the average performance ratings between Team B and Team A?
1.2
6.4
4.6
1.8
Correct answer is A
Average performance rating of Team B = 7+9+1+9+65=325 = 6.4
Average performance rating of Team A = 5+3+6+10+25=265 = 5.2
∴ The difference in the average performance ratings between Team B and Team A = 6.4 - 5.2 = 1.2
Express 16.54 x 10−5 - 6.76 x 10−8 + 0.23 x 10−6 in standard form
1.66 x 10−4
1.66 x 10−5
1.65 x 10−5
1.65 x 10−4
Correct answer is A
16.54 x 10−5 - 6.76 x 10−8 + 0.23 x 10−6
⇒ 1.654 x 10−4 - 6.76 x 10−8 + 2.3 x 10−7
⇒ 1.654 x 10−4 - 0.000676 x 10−4 + 0.0023 x 10−4
⇒ (1.654 - 0.000676 + 0.0023) x 10−4
∴ 1.655624 x 10−4 ≃ 1.66 x 10−4
The third term of an A.P is 6 and the fifth term is 12. Find the sum of its first twelve terms
201
144
198
72
Correct answer is C
T3 = 6
T5 = 12
S12 = ?
Tn = a + (n - 1)d
⇒ T3 = a + 2d = 6 ----- (i)
⇒ T5 = a + 4d = 12 ----- (ii)
Subtract equation (ii) from (i)
⇒ -2d = -6
⇒ d−6−2 = 3
Substitute 3 for d in equation (i)
⇒ a + 2(3) = 6
⇒ a + 6 = 6
⇒ a = 6 - 6 = 0
Sn = n(2a+(n−1)d)2
⇒ S12 = 12(2×0+(12−1)3)2
⇒ S12 = 6(0 + 11 x 3)
⇒ S12 = 6(33)
∴ S12 = 198
Find the volume of the cylinder above
[Take π=22/7]
9,856 cm3
14,784 cm3
4,928 cm3
19,712 cm3
Correct answer is B
Volume of the cylinder = \frac{θ}{360} \times \pi r^2h
θ = 360^o - 90^o = 270^o
∴ Volume of the cylinder = \frac{270}{360} \times \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{14^2}{1} \times \frac{32}{1} = \frac{37,255,680}{2520} = 14,784cm^3
