Find the volume of the cylinder above
[Take \(\pi= ^{22}/_7\)]
9,856 cm\(^3\)
14,784 cm\(^3\)
4,928 cm\(^3\)
19,712 cm\(^3\)
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 = \(\frac{270}{360} \times \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{14^2}{1} \times \frac{32}{1} = \frac{37,255,680}{2520} = 14,784cm^3\)
Find the compound interest (CI) on ₦15,700 for 2 years at 8% per annum compounded annually.
₦6,212.48
₦2,834.48
₦18,312.48
₦2,612.48
Correct answer is D
Principal (P) = ₦15,700
Rate (R) = 8
Number of years (t) = 2
A = P \((1+\frac{R}{100})^t\)
⇒ A = 15700 \((1+\frac{8}{100})^2\)
⇒ A = 15700 (1 + 0.08)\(^2\)
⇒ A = 15700 (1.08)\(^2\)
⇒ A = 15700 x 1.1664
⇒ A = ₦18,312.48
Total amount, A = ₦18,312.48
A = P + CI
⇒ CI = A - P
⇒ CI = 18,312.48 - 15,700
∴ CI = ₦2,612.48
1162 cm\(^2\)
1163 cm\(^2\)
1160 cm\(^2\)
1161 cm\(^2\)
Correct answer is A
Let the length of the sides of triangle be 2x, 3x and 4x.
Perimeter of triangle = 180cm
⇒ \(2x +3x + 4x = 180\)
⇒ \(9x = 180\)
⇒ \(x = \frac{180}{9}\) = 20cm
Then the sides of the triangle are:
\(2x = 2\times20 = 40cm; 3x = 3\times20\) = 60cm and \(4x\) = 4\(\times20 \)= 80cm
Using Heron's formula
Area of triangle = \(\sqrt s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)\)
Where s = \(\frac{a + b + c}{2}\)
Let a = 40cm, b = 60cm, c = 80cm and s = \(\frac{40 + 60 + 80}{2} = \frac{180}{2}\) = 90cm
⇒ A = \(\sqrt90 (90 - 40) (90 - 60) (90 - 80) = \sqrt90 \times 50 \times 30 \times 10 = \sqrt1350000\)
∴ A =1162cm\(^2\) (to the nearest cm\(^2)\)

135
Correct answer is C
Let the total number of items in the man's shop = \(y\)
Number of Brand A's items in the man's shop = \(\frac {1}{9} y\)
Remaining items = 1 - \(\frac {1}{9} y = \frac {8}{9} y\)
Number of Brand B's items in The man's shop = \(\frac{5}{8} of \frac{8}{9}y = \frac{5}{9}y\)
Total of Brand A and Brand B's items = \(\frac{1}{9}y + \frac{5}{9}y = \frac{2}{3}y\)
Number of Brand C's items in the man's shop = 1 - \(\frac{2}{3}y = \frac{1}{3}y\)
\(\implies\frac{1}{3}y\) = 81 (Given)
\(\implies y\) = 81 x 3 = 243
∴ The total number of items in the man's shop = 243
∴ Number of Brand B's items in the man's shop = \(\frac{5}{9}\) x 243 = 135
∴ The number of more Brand B items than Brand C = 135 - 81 =54
1931.25 m\(^2\) ≤ A < 2021.25 m\(^2\)
1950 m\(^2\) ≤ A < 2002 m\(^2\)
1957 m\(^2\) ≤ A < 1995 m\(^2\)
1931.25 m\(^2\) ≥ A > 2021.25 m\(^2\)
Correct answer is A
The sides have been given to the nearest meter, so
51.5 m ≤ length < 52.5
37.5 m ≤ width < 38.5
Minimum area = 37.5 x 51.5 = 1931.25 m\(^2\)
Maximum area = 38.5 x 52.5 = 2021.25 m\(^2\)
∴ The range of the area = 1931.25 m\(^2\) ≤ A < 2021.25 m\(^2\)
