Q:

The angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio of 2:4:7:5. The smallest angle of the quadrilateral is equal to the smallest angle of a triangle. One of the angles of the triangle is twice the smallest angle of the triangle. What is the second largest angle of the triangle ?

A) 80 degrees B) 60 degrees
C) 120 degrees D) 40 degrees
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 60 degrees

Explanation:

Given the angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio of 2:4:7:5
Let the angles of a quadrilateral are 2x, 4x, 7x, 5x
But we know that sum of the angles = 360 degrees.
=> 2x + 4x + 7x + 5x = 360
=> x = 20
Therfore, the smallest angle of the quadrilateral = 2x = 2x20 = 40 degrees.
One of the angle of the triangle = 2 x 40 = 80 degrees
The other angle is 180 - (40 + 80) = 60 degrees.

Hence the second largest angle of the triangle is 60 degrees.

Q:

If V = 12R / (r + R) , then R =

A) Vr / (12 - V) B) Vr + (V /12 )
C) V D) V / (r - 12 )
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Vr / (12 - V)

Explanation:

We have to rearrange the equation to make R the subject.

Start by cross multiplying by (r + R); V (r + R) = 12R

Multiply out the bracket Vr + VR = 12R

Q:

The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 93. What is the middle number?

A) 31 B) 33
C) 29 D) 27
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 31

Explanation:

Let the three consecutive odd numbers be x, x+2, x+4

Then,

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 93

=> 3x + 6 = 93

=> 3x = 87

=> x = 29 => 29, 31, 33 are three consecutive odd numbers.

 

Therefore, the middle number is 31.
