Time, speed and distance · solved example
A vehicle travels at 40 km/h for 5 hours. How far does it go?
Solution
Distance = speed × time = 40 × 5 = 200 km.
Number series · solved example
Find the next term: 10, 17, 26, 37, 50, ?
Solution
Each term is a square plus 1: 3²+1, 4²+1, ... so the next is 8²+1 = 65.
Simplification · solved example
Find the value of 15% of 200 + 20% of 160.
Solution
15% of 200 is 30 and 20% of 160 is 32; their sum is 62.
Quadratic equations · solved example
In each, solve for x and y and give the relation: I. x² + 2x − 35 = 0 II. y² − 1y − 56 = 0
Solution
The roots are x = 5, -7 and y = -7, 8. Comparing every x with every y gives "no fixed relation".
