MATHEMATICS
Gold depreciated at a rate of X% per
year between 2013 and 2018. If 1 kg of
gold cost S pesos in 2014 and T pesos
in 2016, how much in 2015 in terms of
S and T?

Solution

One hour out of the station, the

locomotive of a freight trains develops
trouble that slows its speed to 3/5 of its
average speed up to the time of failure.
Continuing at this reduced speed it
reaches its destination two hours late.
Had the trouble occurred 50
kilometres beyond the delay would
have reduced by 40 minutes. Find the
distance from the station to the
destination.

Solution

In a quadratic equation problem, one

student made a mistake in copying the
coefficient of x and got a root of +3 and
-2. Another student made a mistake in
copying the constant term and got a
root of +3 and +2. Which of the
following is one of the correct roots?

Solution

In a battle involving 100 men, all

suffered injuries. The following gives
the number of men injured on three
parts of the body:

PARTS INJURED = NUMBER OF

MEN

Head = 42

Arms = 43

Legs = 32

Head and Arm = 5

Arm and Leg = 8

Head and Leg = 6

Solution

Steven is twice as old as his brother,

Jason. In 5 years, Jason will be the
same age as his brother was 10 years
ago. How old is Steven?

Solution

Find the term involving x^8 in the

expansion of (x^2 + square root of x)^14

Solution

Two trains, each traveling uniformly at

50 kph, start toward each other, at the
same time, from station A and B, 10
km apart. Simultaneously, a bee starts
from station A, flying parallel to the
track at a uniform speed of 70 kph,
toward the train from station B. Upon
reaching the train, it comes to rest, and
allows itself to be transported back to
the point where trains pass each other.
Find the total distance traveled by the
bee.

Solution

The base angle of a trapezoid are 34

degrees and 81 degrees. If the top and
bottom bases are 220m and 150m.
Find the area of the trapezoid in m^2.

Solution

Find the radius of the circle

circumscribed about a triangle if one
of the interior angle is 50 degrees. And
the side opposite this angle is 35cm.

Solution

Points A, B, C, D, and E Is on the

periphery of the circle and
AB=BC=CD. If he value of angle BAC
is 35 degrees. Find the angle DEA.
Follow

Solution

Points A, B, C, and D lies on the circle

with a radius r. AD is a chord 5-
centimetres long and the angle ACD
equals 15 degrees, with AB as the
diameter of the circle. Find the radius
r.

Solution

AB is a diameter of a circle its centre at

O, points P and Q are on the perimeter
of the circle. The ratio of the arc AP to
that of arc PQ is 4:3. Compute angle
AOP, if the value of angle PAQ is 24
degrees.

Solution

A quadrilateral ABCD is inscribed in a

circle with point O As the centre of the
circle. If AB is the diameter of the
circle, and angle CAB is 39 degrees,
find the value of angle BCO.

Solution

The observed interior angles of a

quadrilateral and their corresponding
number of observation are as follows:

Solution

A civil engineer measures the distance

of point A and point B and the
following values were recorded in a
series of measurements.

Solution

It is required to lay out a distance of

867.28 m with a 100 m tape that is
0.028 m too long. Compute the true
distance measured with the tape to
make the points the proper distance
apart.

Solution

The measurement of a base live give a

probable length of 2273.66 +- 0.045.
Later, measurements by another party
indicate a probable length of 2273.61 +-
0.026 m. What is the most probable
value length of the line obtained by
combining the results of the two
measurements?

Solution

In 1985, the magnetic bearing of line

AB was N 16 degrees 40 minutes W
and the magnetic declination at that
time was 1 degree 15 minutes E. If the
secular variation per year is 0 degree 3
minutes E, what would be the
magnetic bearing of the line in 1998?

Solution

An agricultural land was measured

using a 100 m tape which was actually
0.02 m short. If the recorded area was
3600 sq.m compute the error in the
recorded area.

Solution

A civil engineer used a 100 m tape

which is standard length of 32 degrees
celsius in measuring a certain distance
and found out that the length of the
tape have different lengths at different
tensions were applies as shown. Use K=
0.0000116/ degrees celsius.
