Math Problem Statement

This test covers mathematical concepts including fractions, divisibility by 36, greatest common divisor (GCD), and nested expressions.

Solution

Let's go through the mathematical test questions one by one:

Multiple Choice Questions (10 marks)

1. Anna's weight relative to Simon

  • Anna weighs 47.5 kg, 5 kg lighter than Simon. Simon’s weight is therefore 47.5+5=52.5kg47.5 + 5 = 52.5 \, \text{kg}.
  • The fraction of Simon's weight that is Anna’s is: 47.552.5=95105=1921\frac{47.5}{52.5} = \frac{95}{105} = \frac{19}{21} Answer: D. 1921\frac{19}{21}

2. Divisibility by 36

  • 36 = 22×322^2 \times 3^2. A number divisible by 36 must have at least two 2’s and two 3’s in its prime factorization.
  • Checking each option for divisibility:
    • Answer: C. 875748 (divisible by 36)

3. Least number of squares from the sheet

  • Dimensions: 63 cm × 273 cm. We need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 63 and 273 to determine the largest possible square. GCD(63,273)=21\text{GCD}(63, 273) = 21
    • The least number of squares: 63×27321×21=17199441=39\frac{63 \times 273}{21 \times 21} = \frac{17199}{441} = 39 Answer: B. 39

4. Correct Equations

  • I: 47=35\frac{4}{7} = \frac{3}{5} is false.
  • II: True as the arithmetic works out correctly.
  • III: Also true. Answer: D. II and III only

5. Smallest Value

  • We calculate each option:
    • 2×104=200002 \times 10^4 = 20000
    • 20.172=406.836120.17^2 = 406.8361
    • 2002=40000200^2 = 40000
    • 2017×20.1740685.892017 \times 20.17 \approx 40685.89 Answer: B. 20.17220.17^2 is the smallest value

Conventional Questions (20 marks)

1. (a) Express 1650 in index notation.

  • 1650 = 2×3×52×112 \times 3 \times 5^2 \times 11 Answer: 2×3×52×112 \times 3 \times 5^2 \times 11

(b) Smallest integer kk such that 1650k is a perfect square

  • 1650=2×3×52×111650 = 2 \times 3 \times 5^2 \times 11, so k=2×3×11=66k = 2 \times 3 \times 11 = 66

2. Calculation

  • Calculate the given expression: 4(110[1.56+7.5×(1252.08)])+0.24 \left( \frac{1}{10} \left[ 1.56 + 7.5 \times \left( \frac{12}{5} - 2.08 \right) \right] \right) + 0.2 Let's break this down step by step to get the answer:
  • 1252.08=0.32\frac{12}{5} - 2.08 = 0.32
  • 7.5×0.32=2.47.5 \times 0.32 = 2.4
  • 1.56+2.4=3.961.56 + 2.4 = 3.96
  • 110×3.96=0.396\frac{1}{10} \times 3.96 = 0.396
  • 4×0.396=1.5844 \times 0.396 = 1.584
  • Adding 0.2: 1.584+0.2=1.7841.584 + 0.2 = 1.784
