When I saw 'statue of Liberty', I mentally chose USA not until I read the question...it was actually designed in France.

..constructed in France and given as a gift to the USA as a mark of their independence.

Yinkaolu: Grand slam! Pacific! China borders! Copenhagen! School of fishes! Statue of Liberty!

Sincerely, anyone that passes this test should be given kudos if WAEC is truly fair! They drilled these ones well enough for prospective CEOs! Can never exhaust and underrate the findings of Aptitude testers and interviewers!

How did u arrive @ 12 SIR..

lummyguy:

How did u arrive @ 12 SIR..

Mum age = X
Daughter= Y
X=3Y.....(1)
X-6=5(Y-6)...(2)
Now we know that X=3Y so we substitute to eqtn 1
3Y-6=5Y-30
3Y-5Y=-30+6
-2Y=-24
Y=12.....

U dey form smart abi?,solving it here is different from solving in the exam hall oooo

All the questions were simple,but within dat short time and in an unacceptable exam environs were there are no good seats or table 2 write(ORUOMINKE PH)* na God we they look 4 favour!!!

I'm not forming smart. I wrote 12 in d exam and realised she was 18. Yes there was no time and I wished they gave us more, even if na 10mins.. But wetin we go do?

Donalð Genes:
I guess you did chuck the "%" away when you calculated it but that aside, you seems so astute, i like that,

lets see this simple analogical logic questions probably it may be or may not come in__

ETERNAL : END


A. precursory : beginning

B. grammatical; sentence

C. Implausible : credibility

D. Invaluable : worth

E .frenetic : movement

crack this and tell me which options here resemble that of the original question?

Option D is the correct answer.

d que says where is Statue of Liberty located nt designed. So d ans is US

Hope ur junior ones in skul wont run away wen de c u and d fighters wil stop immediately. U wont use cane but shout at dem. Try and listen to dem.

Hope u ar not fraudulent as d guy who wanted to help d banker. Fraudulent means intended to deceive either for good or bad purpose.

Hope u will plead guilty and beg for leniency wen d security man interrogates u.

Hope u wasted tym to handova d culprit dat imitated ur CEO to d police.

Hope u knw Copehaggen is in Denmark and Grand Slam of tennis is four and short sightedness is in front of retina corrected by diverging lens

Also, hope u know dat d biro is 20. And when u think of d numba and add 6, d result is 16

Hope u know Hib is lykly to b d thief and Jeff is faster dan Grace.

Hope u knw Nigeria is Triangle and US is rectangle.

Gud luck guys.

Get ready for interview Sept/Oct

Mtcheeeeeew..Medicine after death. Exam Don finish, una still dey solve questions. Who cares about the correct answer now?

tchidi:

12years.

@tchidi, u r wrong, the question says "what is her age now" so 12 yrs was 6 yrs ago. So she is 18yrs.

Sorry, 18. I realised that after the test and I still made the mistake here again. . She's 18 biko.

tchidi: Sorry, 18. I realised that after the test and I still made the mistake here again. . She's 18 biko.

Me thinks is 12
Let d daughters age as of now b A
Den mothas age as of now=3A
6 yrs ago
Daughter =A-6
Mother=3A-6
But as of dat 6yrs ago
Mum=5*daughter,,
3A-6=5(A-6)
3A-6=5A-30
3A-5A=-30+6
-2A=-24
A=12years and dat is de daughters age as of now.

To be sincere, I am confused. I wrote 12 but someone said I should have added d 6 years so I concluded dat I missed it.

tchidi: To be sincere, I am confused. I wrote 12 but someone said I should have added d 6 years so I concluded dat I missed it.

nothn tu b confused of
Daughters age as of now is A
6 yrs ago is A-6

thank you...I tot I was in a hurry n didn't read the question well, omo the time was sumfin else, dats why it is called "test". Glory to God for success

For real? Examination Officers already here on Nairaland o! See as my people they use grand slam slam Mathematics after just one Event! Make I try go Copenhagen for Denmark and from there go see statue of Liberty designed in france but located in USA! Who cares if the daughter is 15 or 12 rationally cause what is good for the goose is good for the gander!
HNM all!

Knowing the answers help you to improve. No knowledge is a waste.

Nna mehn... See how guys just memorise everything carry comot for exam hall!
Anyway sha, the answer to no 6 in paper 1 was not given among the options. Something like: ...N500 made up of 37 notes of N20 and N5, how many N20 notes were there?
a. 12
b. 14
c. 23
d. 25


The answer should be 21. What d'u fink?

tchidi: To be sincere, I am confused. I wrote 12 but someone said I should have added d 6 years so I concluded dat I missed it.

. You don't have to be confused, the correct answer is 12. she is 12 years old now and the mother is 3 times older(36). 6 years ago, she was 6 and the mother was 5 times older(30).

It was 530 naira in the question and not 500, 23 pieces of 20naira is 460 naira and 14 pieces of 5naira is 70naira. 23+14= 37 pieces and 460+70=530 naira.

tchidi: Sorry, 18. I realised that after the test and I still made the mistake here again. . She's 18 biko.

which kyn confusion??!!
U r correct now. Its 12 please. Have u forgoten dat u subtracted 6 in ur equations. D 'y' u used is her present age n dat is wot brought about subtractin 6 in ur second equation abeg!

tchidi:

Mum age = X
Daughter= Y
X=3Y.....(1)
X-6=5(Y-6)...(2)
Now we know that X=3Y so we substitute to eqtn 1
3Y-6=5Y-30
3Y-5Y=-30+6
-2Y=-24
Y=12.....

base on ur solving ur ansa should b minus 12

ORUWISE:

base on ur solving ur ansa should b minus 12

....her solution is correct jhor. Where is d minus coming from? This one na simple linear equation.
