431.

In the diagram, ST is parallel to UW, < WVT = xo, < VUT = yo, < RSV = 45o and < VTU = 20o. Find the value of x

A.

20

B.

45

C.

65

D.

135

Correct answer is B

From the diagram SR//UW given that < RSV = 45o and < WVT = xo

< WVT = 45o(corresponding angle)

xo = 45

432.

In the diagram, PQR is a straight line, (m + n) = 120o and (n + r) = 100o. Find (m + r)

A.

110o

B.

120o

C.

140o

D.

160o

Correct answer is C

433.

In the diagram, the value of x + y = 220o. Find the value of n

A.

20o

B.

40o

C.

60o

D.

80o

Correct answer is B

y + z = 180o

z = 180o - y

x + k = 180o

k = 180o - x

the sum of angles in the \(\bigtriangleup\) are: n + z + k = 180

but n + 180o - y + 180o - x = 180o

n + 180o - y - x = 0

but we want to find n

n + 180o = x + y

but x + y = 220o

n + 180o = 220o

n = 220o - 180o

n = 40o

The bar chart shows the scores of some students in a test. If one students is selected at random, find the probability that he/she scored at most 2 marks

A.

\(\frac{11}{18}\)

B.

\(\frac{11}{20}\)

C.

\(\frac{7}{22}\)

D.

\(\frac{5}{19}\)

Correct answer is B

at most 2 marks = 5 + 2 + 4 students = 11 students

probability(at most 2 marks) = \(\frac{11}{20}\)

The bar chart shows the scores of some students in a test. How many students took the test?

A.

18

B.

19

C.

20

D.

22

Correct answer is C

score 0 = 4 students

score 1 = 2 students

score 2 = 5 students

score 3 = 6 students

score 4 = 3 students

= 20 students
