Simplify without using tables \(\frac{2\sqrt{14} \times 3\sqrt{21}}{7\sqrt{24} \times 2\sqrt{98}}\)
\frac{3\sqrt{14}}{4}\)
\(\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{4}\)
\(\frac{3\sqrt{14}}{28}\)
\(\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{28}\)
Correct answer is D
\(\frac{2\sqrt{14} \times 3\sqrt{21}}{7 \sqrt{24} \times 2\sqrt{98}}\) = \(\frac{6\sqrt{14} \times 3 \times \sqrt{7} \times \sqrt{3}}{7 \times 2 \sqrt{6} \times \sqrt{7} \times \sqrt{14}}\)
= \(\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{14\sqrt{6}}\)
= \(\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{14\sqrt{2} \times \sqrt{3}}\)
= \(\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{28}\)
Simplify without using tables \(\frac{log_26}{log_28}\) - \(\frac{log_23}{2log_2\frac{1}{2}}\)
\(\frac{1}{5}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{-1}{2}\)
(\frac{log_23}{log_27}\)
Correct answer is A
log\(_2\)6 - log\(_2\)3 = log\(_2\) (\(\frac{6}{3}\))
= log\(_2\)2... A
log\(_2\)8 - 2log\(_2\)\(\frac{1}{2}\)
log\(_2\)8 - log\(_2\)\(\frac{1}{2}\)\(^2\)
log\(_2\)8 - log\(_2\)\(\frac{1}{4}\)
= log\(_2\) 32... B
\(\frac{A}{B}\) = \(\frac{log_22}{log_232}\)
N.B. log\(_2\)2 = 1
= \(\frac{1}{5}\)
Evaluate without using tables (0.008) -\(\frac{1}{3}\) x (0.16) - \(\frac{3}{2}\)
\(\frac{625}{8}\)
\(\frac{8}{625}\)
\(\frac{1}{8}\)
8
Correct answer is A
(0.008) -\(\frac{1}{3}\) x (0.16) - \(\frac{3}{2}\) = (8 x 10-3)10-3 x (16 x 10-2)-\(\frac{3}{2}\)
= \(\frac{(2^3)}{10^3}\) - 3 x \(\frac{(2^4)}{10}\) - \(\frac{-3}{2}\)
= \(\frac{625}{8}\)

Correct answer is D
Let x represents number of boys that can work at \(\frac{5}{4}\) the rate at which the 10 girls work
For 1hr. x boys will work for \(\frac{\frac{1}{5}}{4}\) x 10
x = \(\frac{4}{5}\) x 10 = 8 boys
8 boys will do the work of ten girls at the same rate 4 + 8 = 12 boys cut the field in 5 hrs
For 3 hrs, \(\frac{12 \times 5}{3}\) boys will be needed = 20 boys
8%

12%
15%
Correct answer is C
profit 8% of N1.35 = \(\frac{8}{100}\) x N1.35 = N0.08
Cost price = N1.35 - N0.10 = N1.25
If he sells the 20 oranges for N1.10 now
%loss = \(\frac{\text{actual loss}}{\text{Cost price}}\) x 100
\(\frac{125 - 1.10}{1.25}\) x 100
= \(\frac{0.15 \times 100}{1.25}\)
= \(\frac{15}{1.25}\)
= 12%
