100112 + *****2 + 111002 + 1012 = 10011112

A.

11112

B.

110112

C.

101112

D.

110012

Correct answer is B

Convert the binary to base 10 and they convert back to base two

100112 + xxxxx2 + 111002 + 1012 = 10011112


(1 × 24 + 0 × 23 + 1 × 22 + 1 × 21 + 1 × 20) + xxxxx2 +(1 × 24 + 1 × 23 + 1 × 22 + 0 × 21 + 0 × 20) + (1 × 22 + 0 × 21 + 1 × 20)

= (16 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 1) + xxxxx2 + (16 + 8 + 4 + 0 + 0 ) + (4 + 0 + 1)

=(64 + 0 + 0 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1)

19 + xxxxx2 + 33 = 79

xxxxx2 + 52 = 79

xxxxx2 = 79 − 52

xxxxx2 = 2710

227213 rem 126 rem 123 rem 021 rem 10 rem 1

2710 = 110112

Therefore xxxxx2 = 2710 = 110112

Evaluate log717

A.

1.35

B.

1.353

C.

1.455

D.

0.455

Correct answer is C

log717

= [log 17 ÷ log7]

= [1.2304 ÷ 0.8451]

[100.0899 ÷ 101.9270]

= 1.455(antilog)

If an investor invest N450,000 in a certain organization in order to yield X as a return of N25,000. Find the return on an investment of N700,000 by Y in the same organization.

A.

N14,950.50K

B.

N25,150.30K

C.

N15,000.00K

D.

N38,888.90K

Correct answer is D

[Return ÷ Investment] as a ratio ;

i.e The Ratio is Return : Investmen

[(Return1÷ Investment1 ) = (Return2÷ Investment2)]

R1 = N 25000

R2 =?

I1 = N450,000,

I1 = N 700000

(25000 ÷ 450000) = (R2 ÷ 700000)

R2 = [(25000 × 700000 ) ÷ 450000]

= N38,888.90K

∴ The return on a investment of Y = N38888.90K

Given that S and T are sets of real numbers such that S = {x : 0 x 5} and T = {x : − 2 < x < 3} Find S T

A.

−3 < x < 3

B.

−2< x < 5

C.

2< x < −5

D.

−1< x 2

Correct answer is B

S = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

T = {− 1, 0, 1, 2}

S T = {− 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }

⇒ − 2 < x ≤ 5

Determine the third term of a geometrical progression whose first and second term are 2 and 54 respectively

A.

1458

B.

1485

C.

1345

D.

1258

Correct answer is A

1st G.P. = a =2

2nd G.P. = ar21 = 54

2(r) = 54

r = 54/2 = 27

r = 27

3rd term = ar2 = (2) (27)2

2 × 27 × 27

= 1458
