Find the value of t in the diagram

A.

63o

B.

117o

C.

126o

D.

234o

Correct answer is C

In the diagram,

α = 180o - 177o (angles on a straight line)

α = 63o

t = 2 x 63o (angle at centre = 2 x angle at circum)

= 126o

292.

Find the mean deviation of 20, 30, 25, 40, 35, 50, 45, 40, 20 and 45

A.

8

B.

9

C.

10

D.

12

Correct answer is B

Mean = fxf

= 35010

= 35

= f|d|f

= 9010

= 9

293.

Find the median of 2, 1, 0, 3, 1, 1, 4, 0, 1 and 2

A.

0.0

B.

0.5

C.

1.0

D.

1.5

Correct answer is C

First arrange the numbers in ascending order of magnitude; 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4

Counting from the right, the fifth number is 1

Counting from the left, the fifth number is 1

Hence, median = frac1+12

= 22

= 1

294.

If P and Q are two statements, under what condition would p|q be false?

A.

If p is true and q is true

B.

If p is true and q is false

C.

If p is false and q is false

D.

If p is false and q is true

Correct answer is B

From the truth table above, p q  would be false if p is true and q is false

295.

A.

|PN||PR|

B.

|PM||PQ|

C.

|PM||PR|

D.

|PR||PQ|

Correct answer is C

|PN||PQ| = |PM||PR|
