Find x if the mean of 2x, 4x, 2x - 13 and 6x is 4.
1.5
2.0
1.0
0.5
Correct answer is B
mean (4) = \(\frac{2x + 4x + 2x - 13 + 6x}{4}\)
16 = 14x - 13
16 + 13 = 14x
x = 29/14 or 2.07
If 8, p, q and 26 is an A.P. Find the values of p and q
p = 14 and q = 14
p = 20 and q = 14
p = 20 and q = 20
p = 14 and q = 20
Correct answer is D
The common difference is 6. Just add 6 to get the next term 8, 14, 20 and 26
If y varies inversely as x and x = 3 when y =4. Find the value of x when y = 12
4
1
2
3
Correct answer is B
y = 1/x; y = \(\frac{k}{x}\)
k =xy → 3 * 4 = 12
x = \(\frac{k}{y}\)
x = \(\frac{12}{12}\) = 1
223
232
32
-232
Correct answer is A
3 * 5 = 3 - 5 + (3 x 5)\(^2\)
-2 + (15)\(^2\)
-2 + 225
= 223
In the diagram above, XY = 8cm and OX = 5cm. Find Oz
9cm
3.4cm
9.1cm
3cm
Correct answer is D
hyp = 5cm, adj = \(\frac{8cm}{2}\) 4cm, opp = xcm
Pythagoras theorem:
hyp\(^2\) = opp\(^2\) + adj\(^2\)
5\(^2\) = x\(^2\) + 4\(^2\)
x\(^2\) = 25 - 16
x = √9
x = 3cm
