Questions and answers from this day. Play today's quiz to build your streak.

Question 1 · Algebraic identities

If a + b = 12 and ab = 20, what is a² + b²?

  1. A. 104 ✓
  2. B. 124
  3. C. 40
  4. D. 184

Answer: 104. (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b², so a² + b² = 12² − 2 × 20 = 144 − 40 = 104.

Question 2 · Probability

A bag holds 5 red, 5 blue and 4 green balls. One ball is picked at random. What is the probability it is red?

  1. A. 1/3
  2. B. 5/14 ✓
  3. C. 9/14
  4. D. 1

Answer: 5/14. Probability = favourable ÷ total = 5/14.

Question 3 · Linear equations

If x + y = 16 and x − y = 10, what is x?

  1. A. 26
  2. B. 10
  3. C. 13 ✓
  4. D. 3

Answer: 13. Add the two equations: 2x = 16 + 10 = 26, so x = 13.

Question 4 · Mensuration

A cylinder has a radius of 7 cm and a height of 12 cm. What is its volume? (Use π = 22/7)

  1. A. 1848 cm³ ✓
  2. B. 2002 cm³
  3. C. 3696 cm³
  4. D. 1855 cm³

Answer: 1848 cm³. Volume = π r² h = 22/7 × 7 × 7 × 12 = 1848 cm³.

Question 5 · Trigonometry

Find the value of sin 30° × cos 60°.

  1. A. 2
  2. B. 1/4 ✓
  3. C. 1/2
  4. D. 3/2

Answer: 1/4. Use sin 30° = ½, cos 60° = ½, tan 45° = 1, sin 90° = 1 and cos 0° = 1. sin 30° × cos 60° = 1/4.
