1. In a youth club with 94 members, 60 like modern music, and 50 like traditional music. The number of members who like both traditional and modern music is three times those who do not like any type of music. How many members like only one type of music?
A. 8
B. 24
C. 62
D. 86
Answer:  C
Explanation
x = no. of ppl that like none.
no. of ppl that like both Traditional and Modern music, which is equal to 3x
Modern Music = 60 – 3x
Traditional Music = 50 – 3x
60-3x + 50 – 3x + 3x + x = 94
110 – 3x + x = 94
-2x = 94 – 110
=>-2x = -16,
this x = 8.
Members that like only one game:
= 60 – 3x + 50 – 3x
= 60 – 3[8] + 50 – 3[8] = 60 – 24 + 50 – 24
= 36 + 26 = 62
Members that like only one type of music = 62

2. A man wishes to keep his money in a savings deposit at 25% compound interest so that after three years he can buy a car for N150,000. How much does he need to deposit?
A. N112,000.50
B. N96,000.00
C. N85,714.28
D. N76,800.00
Answer: D
Explanation
Amount A = P(1+r)n;
A = N150,000, r = 25%, n = 3.
150,000 = P(1+0.25)3 = P(1.25)3
P = 150,000/1.253 =N76,800.00

3. The 3rd term of an A.P is 4x – 2y and the 9th term is 10x – 8y. Find the common difference.
A. 19x – 17y
B. 8x – 4y
C. x – y
D. 2x
Answer: C
Explanation
n = 3, U3
= 4x – 2y,
Un
= a + (n-1)d,
4x – 2y = a + 2d… (1)
U9
= 10x – 8y,
10x – 8y = a + 8d… (2)
Solving (1) and (2),
subtract eqn i from ii
a-a + 8d – 2d = 10x -4x – 8y- (-2y)
6d = 6x – 8y+ 2y.
6d= 6x – 6y
6d = 6( x-y)
d = x – y

4. Find the inverse of p under the binary operation * defined by p*q = p + q – pq, where p and q are real numbers and zero is the identity
A. p
B. p -1
C. p/(p-1)
D. p/(p+1)
Answer: C
Explanation
If P-1 is the inverse of P and O is the identity, Then P-1 * P = P * P-1 = 0
i.e. P-1 + P – P-1.P = 0
P-1 – P-1.P = -P
P-1(1 – P) = -P
P-1 = -P/(P-1)
= P/(P-1)

5. P is a point on one side of the straight line UV and P moves in the same direction as UV. If the straight line ST is on the locus of P and angle VUS = 60°, find angle UST.
A. 310°
B. 130°
C. 80°
D. 50°
Answer: B
Explanation
Make a good sketch of the question, and follow this steps.
Since ST is parallel to UV => angle USR = 50°(alternate to VUS.
Angle UST = 180° – 50° = 130° (angle on a straight line)
