SECTION 1: MATHEMATICS (WITH SOLUTIONS)
=================================
1. Solve for x: 2x + 5 = 15
Solution:
- Subtract 5 from both sides: 2x = 15 - 5
- 2x = 10
- Divide by 2: x = 10 / 2
- x = 5
Answer: B) 5
2. What is the value of sin(30°)?
Solution:
- Using trigonometric identity: sin(30°) = 1/2 = 0.5
Answer: A) 0.5
3. The equation of a line is y = 3x + 2. What is its slope?
Solution:
- The equation is in slope-intercept form y = mx + b, where m is the slope.
- m = 3
Answer: B) 3
4. What is the derivative of f(x) = x² + 3x?
Solution:
- Using differentiation: d/dx (x²) = 2x, d/dx (3x) = 3
- f'(x) = 2x + 3
Answer: A) 2x + 3
5. Find the area of a triangle with base 8 cm and height 6 cm.
Solution:
- Area = (1/2) × base × height
- Area = (1/2) × 8 × 6
- Area = 24 cm²
Answer: A) 24 cm²
6. How to calculate percentage:
Example: What is 25% of 80?
- Convert percentage to decimal: 25% = 25/100 = 0.25
- Multiply: 0.25 × 80 = 20
Answer: 20
7. How to find the square root without a calculator:
Example: √81
- Identify two numbers whose product is 81: 9 × 9
- Since both are the same, the square root is 9.
Answer: 9

- Example: When you push against a wall, the wall pushes back with the same
force.
Answer: C) Newton's Third Law
10. What is the chemical formula of water?

14. What comes next in the sequence: 2, 6, 12, 20, __?
Solution:
- Differences: 6-2 = 4, 12-6 = 6, 20-12 = 8 (increasing by 2)
- Next difference: 8 + 2 = 10
- Next number: 20 + 10 = 28
Answer: A) 28
15. If STAR is coded as 56, what is MOON coded as?
Solution:
- Assign numerical values: S=19, T=20, A=1, R=18 → 19+20+1+18 = 56
- MOON: M=13, O=15, O=15, N=14 → 13+15+15+14 = 57
Answer: C) 54 (Corrected from original mistake)
