Evaluate $$(111_{two})^2$$ and leave your answer in base 2

A
$$111001_{two}$$
B
$$110001_{two}$$
C
$$101001_{two}$$
D
$$10010_{two}$$

Correct Option: B

Solution
$$(111_{two})^{2}=(111_{two})(111_{two})\ =1 \times 2^{2}+1\times2^{1}+1\times 2^{0}=4+2+1=7_{_{ten}}\ (111_{two})^{2}=7\times 7=49\ \begin{matrix} 2 & 49\ 2 & 24\hspace{1mm}R\hspace{1mm}1\ 2 & 12\hspace{1mm}R\hspace{1mm}0\ 2 & 6\hspace{1mm}R\hspace{1mm}0\ 2 & 3\hspace{1mm}R\hspace{1mm}0\ 2 & 1\hspace{1mm}R\hspace{1mm}1\ & 0\hspace{1mm}R\hspace{1mm}1\hspace{1mm}\uparrow \end{matrix} \ =110001_{2}$$

A
$$2^{2}\times 3^{3}\times 5^{2}$$
B
$$2^{3}\times 3^{23}\times 5$$
C
$$2^{2}\times 3^{2}\times 5^{2}$$

Simplify $$(0.3\times 10^{5})\div (0.4\times 10^{7})$$leaving your answer in standard form

A
$$7.5\times 10^{-4}$$
B
$$7.5\times 10^{-3}$$
C
$$7.5\times 10^{-2}$$
D
$$7.5\times 10^{-1}$$

Correct Option: B

Solution
$$(0.3\times 10^{5})\div (0.4\times 10^{7})\ \frac{3}{10}\times 10^{5}\div \frac{4}{10}\times 10^{7}=3\times 10^{4}\div 4\times 10^{6}\ \frac{3\times 10^{4}}{4\times 10^{7}}=\frac{3}{4}\times 10^{-2}=0.75\times 10^{-2}\ 7.5\times 10^{-3}$$

4
If $$p\propto \frac{1}{q}$$, which of the following is true?

A
$$\propto p^{2}$$
B
$$p\propto \frac{1}{q^{2}}$$
C
$$q\propto \sqrt{p}$$
D
$$q\propto \frac{1}{p}$$

Correct Option: D

Solution
$$p\propto \frac{1}{q} = q \propto \frac{1}{p}$$

5
Simplify $$3\sqrt{45}-12\sqrt{5}+16\sqrt{20}$$leaving your answer in surd form

A
$$29\sqrt{5}$$
B
$$14\sqrt{15}$$
C
$$12\sqrt{15}$$
D
$$11\sqrt{5}$$

Correct Option: A

Solution
$$3\sqrt{45}-12\sqrt{5}+16\sqrt{20}\ 3\sqrt{5\times 9}-12\sqrt{5}+16\sqrt{4\times 5}\ 3\times 3\sqrt{5}-12\sqrt{5}+16\times 2\sqrt{5}\ 9\sqrt{5}-12\sqrt{5}+32\sqrt{5}\ 29\sqrt{5}$$

6
Which of the following is true for the set $$P = \{-3.2\leq x< 5\}$$ where x is an integer

A
least value of x is -3.2

7
Simplify$$\frac{3x^{3}}{(3x)^{3}}$$

A
1
B
$$\frac{1}{3}$$
C
$$\frac{1}{9}$$
D
$$\frac{1}{27}$$

Correct Option: C

Solution
$$\frac{3x^{3}}{(3x)^{3}}\ \frac{3x^{3}}{3x\times 3x\times 3x}=\frac{3\times x\times x\times x}{3\times 3\times 3\times x\times x\times x}=\frac{1}{9}$$

8
N140,000 is shared between ABU, Kayode and Uche. Abu has twice as much as Kayode, and Kayode has twice as much as Uche. What is Kayode's share?

A
N80,000
B
N40,000
C
N20,000
D
N10,000

Correct Option: B

Solution
$$Abu = 2x\ Kayode = x\ Uche = \frac{x}{2}\ 2x+x+\frac{x}{2}=140,000\ \frac{7x}{2}=140,000\ 7x = 280,000\ x=\frac{280,000}{7}\ x=40,000$$Kayode receives N40,000

9
