In the figure, find PRQ

A.

66\(\frac{1}{2}\)o

B.

62\(\frac{1}{2}\)o

C.

125o

D.

105o

E.

65o

Correct answer is B

Angle subtended at any part of the circumference of the circle \(\frac{125^o}{2}\) at centre = 360o - 235o = 125o

\(\bar{PQR}\) = \(\frac{125}{2}\)

= 62\(\frac{1}{2}\)o

In a class of 60 pupils, the statistical distribution of the numbers of pupils offering Biology, History, French, Geography and Additional mathematics is as shown in the pie chart. How many pupils offer Additional Mathematics?

A.

15

B.

10

C.

18

D.

12

E.

20

Correct answer is B

(2x - 24)° + (3x - 18)° + (2x + 12)° + (x + 12)° + x° = 360°

9x = 360° + 18°

x = \(\frac{378}{9}\)

= 42°, if x = 42°, then add maths = \(\frac{2x - 42}{360}\) x 60

= \(\frac{2 \times 42 - 24}{360}\) x 60

= \(\frac{84 - 24}{6}\)

In the figure, QRST is a rectangle; PT// QM, angle P = 60o. Find angle MUR

A.

150o

B.

30o

C.

60o

D.

120o

E.

90o

Correct answer is A

QRST is a rectangle

PT //QM, P = 60o = angle MUR = 150o

PQRS is a parallelogram with area 50 square cm and the side PQ is 10cm long. T is a point on RS and TF is the altitude of the triangle TPQ. Find TF

A.

10cm

B.

12.5cm

C.

8cm

D.

6cm

E.

5cm

Correct answer is E

Area of a //gm PQRS = B X H Area of a //gm PQRS = PQ x TF 50 = 10TF TF = 5cm
