1. What is the formula for calculating simple interest?

A. A = P × (1 + r)^t

B. I = P × r × t

C. I = P + r + t

D. A = P / (1 + r)^t

Answer: (B)

Обяснение

The correct formula for simple interest is I = P × r × t, where I is interest, P is principal, r is rate, and t is time. This formula calculates interest earned or paid over a period without compounding.

2. What is the formula for simple interest as covered in the revision sheet?

A. Interest = Principal + Rate + Time

B. Interest = P × r × t

C. Interest = P / r / t

D. Interest = P × (1 + r)^t

Answer: (B)

Обяснение

The formula for simple interest is Interest = P × r × t, where P is principal, r is rate, and t is time. This formula calculates the interest earned or paid over time with linear growth.

3. Which of the following best describes a geometric progression?

A. A sequence of numbers with no specific pattern

B. A sequence where each term is added to the previous one

C. A sequence where each term is the sum of the previous two terms

D. A sequence where each term is multiplied by a common ratio from the previous term

Answer: (D)

Обяснение

A geometric progression (PG) is a sequence where each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by a fixed common ratio r. The general term is a_n = a_1 × r^{n-1}.

4. Which of the following angles is NOT considered a notable angle in the revision sheet?

A. 30°

B. 45°

C. 75°

D. 60°

E. 90°

Answer: (C)

Обяснение

The notable angles mentioned are 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90°. An angle of 75° is not listed among these key reference angles in the revision sheet.

5. In a right triangle, what does the sine of an angle represent?

A. The ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse

B. The ratio of the hypotenuse to the opposite side

C. The ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side

D. The ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse

Answer: (D)

Обяснение

In a right triangle, the sine of an angle θ is the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the hypotenuse, expressed as sin θ = opposite / hypotenuse.

6. How is a geometric progression (PG) modeled mathematically according to the sheet?

A. a_n = a_1 + r(n-1)

B. a_n = a_1 × r^{n-1}

C. a_n = a_1 / r^{n-1}

D. a_n = r^n + a_1

Answer: (B)

Обяснение

A geometric progression is modeled as a_n = a_1 × r^{n-1}, where a_1 is the first term and r is the common ratio. This formula describes exponential growth or decay.

7. What is the main difference between simple interest and compound interest as explained in the sheet?

A. Simple interest involves exponential growth, compound interest involves linear growth.

B. Simple interest is calculated yearly, compound interest accumulates on the total amount including interest.

C. Simple interest is only used for large investments, while compound interest is for short-term loans.

D. Simple interest is always higher than compound interest.

Answer: (B)

Обяснение

Simple interest is calculated on the original principal only, leading to linear growth, while compound interest is calculated on the principal plus accumulated interest, leading to exponential growth.

8. Which of these is an example of a trigonometric ratio relating sides of a right triangle?

A. Adjacent / Hypotenuse (cosine)

B. Opposite / Hypotenuse (sine)

C. Opposite / Adjacent (tangent)

D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

Обяснение

All listed options are basic trigonometric ratios: sine (opposite/hypotenuse), cosine (adjacent/hypotenuse), and tangent (opposite/adjacent).

9. Which measure of central tendency is calculated by finding the middle value when data are ordered?

A. Mean

B. Median

C. Mode

D. Range

Answer: (B)

Обяснение

The median is the middle value in an ordered dataset, providing a positional average that is resistant to outliers, unlike the mean or mode.

10. What does the probability ratio represent as per the revision sheet?

A. The likelihood of an event relative to a specific outcome.

B. The total number of outcomes in an event.

C. The ratio of favorable outcomes to total outcomes.

D. The chance of an event happening over the chance of it not happening.

Answer: (C)

Обяснение

Probability ratio is the ratio of favorable outcomes to total outcomes, quantifying the chance of an event occurring.
