C. 50

D. 5

Answer: C

Explanation: y/5 = 10

y = 5×10 = 50

5. What should be added to -7/3 to get 3/7?

A. 21/58

B. 58/21

C. 47/21

D. 50/21

Answer: B

Explanation: Let the number be x

-7/3+x = 3/7

x=3/7+7/3 = (9+49)/21 = 58/21

6. The perimeter of the rectangle is 20cm. If the length of the rectangle is 6cm, then its breadth will be:

A. 4 cm

B. 6 cm

C. 10 cm

D. 14 cm

Answer: A

Explanation: Perimeter of rectangle = 2(Length+Breadth)

20 = 2(6+x)

6+x = 20/2

6+x = 10

x = 10-6

x=4 cm

7. The age of the father is three times the age of the son. If the age of the son is 15 years old, then the age of the father is:

A. 50 years

B. 55 years

C. 40 years

D. 45 years

Answer: D

Explanation: Let the age of the father is x

Given: x = 3 × (age of son) = 3 × (15) = 45 years

8. The difference between two whole numbers is 66. The ratio of the two numbers is 2: 5. The two numbers are:

A. 60 and 6

B. 100 and 33

C. 110 and 44

D. 99 and 33

Answer: C

Explanation: Let the two numbers be 2x and 5x since they are in the ratio of 2:5.

The difference between 5x and 2x = 66

5x – 2x = 66

3x = 66

x = 22

Hence, 2x = 2(22) = 44 and 5x = 5(22) = 110.

9. Three consecutive integers add up to 51. The integers are:

A. 16,17,18

B. 15,16,17

C. 17,18,19

D. 18,19,20

Answer: A

Explanation: Let the three consecutive integers be x, x+1, x+2

x+(x+1)+(x+2) = 51

3x+3 = 51

3x = 51 – 3

x = 48/3 = 16

x+1 = 16+1=17

x+2 = x+2 = 18

10. The solution for 3m = 5m – (8/5) is:

A. 8/5

B. ⅘

C. 5/4

D. 4/3

Answer: B

Explanation: 3m = 5m – (8/5)

8/5 = 5m – 3m

2m = 8/5

m = 8/10 = 4/5

11. The degree of x2 – 5x + 2 = x3 is:

A. 3
B. 2
C. 1
D. 0

Answer: A. 3

Explanation: Degree is the highest power of the variable in an equation. Therefore, in the given equation, the highest degree is 3.

12. The degree of equation x2 – 9 = 2x2 is:

A. 0
B. 1
C. 2
D. 3

Answer: C. 2
Explanation: Degree is the highest power of the variable in an equation. Therefore, in the given equation, the highest degree is 2.

13. What is the value of x if x + 9 = 12?

A. 2
B. 3
C. 8
D. 6

Answer: B. 3
Explanation: x + 9 = 12
X = 12 – 9
X = 3

14. If a number is divided by 8 it gives 6 as the value. Find the number.

A. 36
B. 42
C. 48
D. 56

Answer: C. 48
Explanation: Let X be the number
X/8 = 6
X = 8 x 6 = 48

15. Solve 2x + 9 = 4.

A. X = 6
B. X = -5/2
C. X = -3/2
D. X = -9/2

Answer: B. X = -5/2

2x + 9 = 4
2x = 4 – 9
2x = -5
x = -5/2

16. Find the value of x if 2x + 10 = 76.

A. 33
B. 7.6
C. 66
D. 32

Answer: A. 33
Explanation: 2x + 10 = 76
2x = 76 – 10
2x = 66
x = 66/2
x = 33

17. The perimeter of a rectangle is 40 cm. If its width is 10 cm, then find the length.

A. 10
B. 20
C. 30
D. 40

Answer: A. 10

Explanation: Perimeter of a rectangle = 40 cm
Width = 10 cm
Let the length be x.
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(length + width)
40 = 2 (x + 10)
40/2 = x + 10
20 = x + 10
x = 20 – 10 = 10
Thus, the length is also 10 cm.
Hence, we can say, that the given rectangle is basically a square, with all its sides equal.

18. If x is an even number, then the next even number is:

A. x+1
B. x+2
C. x+3
D. x+4

Answer: B. x+2
Explanation: If x = 2, then x + 2 = 2 + 2 = 4

19. The difference between the two numbers is 30. If the bigger number is x, then what is the smaller number?

A. x – 30
B. 30 – x
C. 30x
D. None of these

Answer: A. x – 30
Explanation: x – small number = 30
Small number = x – 30

20. When a number is added to itself, it becomes 24. What is the number?

A. 2
B. 4
C. 12
D. 21

Answer: C. 12
Explanation: Let the number be x.
x + x = 24
2x = 24
x = 24/2
x = 12

  16. this was helpful

    • It was really helpful.. The questions too were very nice but why in the last question i.e 10th question -8/5 became 8/5…?? Where did the minus sign gone..??

      • The sign of the number changes when we move it from one side of the equality sign (=) to the other side.
        Here, -8/5 is moved from Right-hand side to left-hand side, thus it became positive whereas ‘3m’ is moved from LHS to RHS and it became negative.
