If 3214 is divided by 234 and leaves a remainder r, what is the value of r? A. zero B. 1 C. 2 D. 3 Detailed Solution\(\frac{321_4}{23_4}\\=\frac{(3\times4^{2})+(2\times4^{1})+(1\times4^{0})}{(2\times4^{0})+(3\times4^{0})}\\=\frac{3\times16+2\times4+1\times1}{2\times4+3\times1}\\=\frac{48+8+1}{8+3}\\=\frac{57}{11}=5\hspace{1mm}remainder\hspace{1mm}2\\∴r=2_{10} \\ Now\hspace{1mm}convert\hspace{1mm}2_{10} \hspace{1mm}to\hspace{1mm}base\hspace{1mm}4\\\frac{4}{2} = 2\\\frac{4}{0}=0\hspace{1mm}or\hspace{1mm}2\\∴r=2\) |

If the interest on N150.00 for 21/2 years is N4.50, find the interest on N250.00 for 6 months at the same rate A. N1.50 B. N7.50 C. N15.00 D. N18.00 Detailed Solution\(I = N4.50, P = N150,T=2\frac{1}{2}\hspace{1mm}years\\I=\frac{P\times T\times R}{100}\\4.50=\frac{150 \times 2\frac{1}{2} \times R}{100}\\\frac{4.50}{1}=\frac{150 \times 5 \times R}{100\times 2}\\4.50\times 4 = 15R\\R=\frac{4.50\times5}{15}\\R = \frac{6}{5}\\Again\hspace{1mm}I\hspace{1mm}=\frac{P\times T \times R}{100}\\=\frac{250\times 1 \times 6}{100\times 2\times 5}\\=\frac{3}{2}=N1.50\) |

Three boys shared some oranges. The first received 1/3 of the oranges and the second received 2/3 of the remaining. If the third boy received the remaining 12 oranges, how many oranges did they share A. 60 B. 54 C. 48 D. 42 Detailed SolutionLet x = the number of orangesThe 1st received 1/3 of x = 1/3x ∴Remainder = x - 1/3x = 2x/3 The 2nd received 2/3 of 2x/3 = 2/3 * 2x/3 = 4x/3 The 3rd received 12 oranges ∴1/3 |
