Sample Mathematics questions with solutions

Written to the BPSC TRE 4.0 pattern, with the answer key and the method behind it — a look at how the section is actually set before you drill the full topic sets.

Percentage · solved example

What is 25% of 480?

  • 120Correct
  • 140
  • 100

Order of operations · solved example

Find the value of 7 multiplied by 8, minus 6.

  • 50Correct
  • 48
  • 52
  • 44
  • 56

Solution

Do the multiplication first: 7 times 8 is 56, then subtract 6 to get 50.

LCM and HCF · solved example

The HCF (highest common factor) of 24 and 36 is:

  • 12Correct
  • 6
  • 18
  • 24
  • 4

Solution

The factors common to 24 and 36 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12; the greatest of these is 12, so the HCF is 12.

Percentage · solved example

A student scored 45 out of 60 in a test. What is the percentage of marks scored?

  • 75Correct
  • 70
  • 80
  • 72
