hardbody:
Una be olodo....the answer is 26.

YOU B C.E.O > CHIEF EXECUTIVE OLODO. Who ur ansa epp?

The ans... Is 96 hmm wait I think the answer should be 40... Or let call my math/QUAN teacher ASAP

eche45:
YOU B C.E.O > CHIEF EXECUTIVE OLODO. Who ur ansa epp?

you need EPP?

Lol.
1*(4+1)=5
2*(5+1)=12
3*(6+1)=21
therefore
8*(11+1)= 8*12=96

The answer is 52

Like if you agree with me

timonski:
Lol.
1*(4+1)=5
2*(5+1)=12
3*(6+1)=21
therefore
8*(11+1)= 8*12=96

nah shit you dey solve

If 3+6=21 that is 6*3+3=21

So 8+11 will be 11*4+8=52

It is solved sequencially

Eeroh95:

It is solved sequencially

the 1,2,3 came from the number before the + sign. There are loads of questions like this @ http://www.iqnavi.net

I initially took 32 but seeing the solution, I felt 'oh this is right. '

Answer is 40 not 96

4+1=5
2+5+4+1=12
3+6+2+5+4+1=21

8+11+3+6+2+5+4+1=40
Just add all the left hand sides at each step. There is no equation on top of 4+1, so there fore there is nothing to add to 4+1, so 4+1=5.

That is the correct answer and not 96. In maths 1+1 is always equals to 2. Therefore you can not bring in external numbers, or imaginary numbers and say it is the missing numbers,that are not mathematical related, when there are no spaces for them.(no missing gaps) You always solve with what you are given, what you see and not what you bring if they are not mathematically related like for example if x=2². We can bring in log and say log2 X=2 because they are mathematically related.

In the above there is no proof that the so called missing numbers are mathematically related to the shown numbers therefore you solve with what you have

Whether mathematics or quantitative reasoning, or life in general, know this: Things are not always what they seem. You've got to think outside the box.

Correct answer is 96 as previously outlined. You can decide to consult another mathematics professor besides me.

osesology:
The answer is...wait, let me solve it again.

Na now day break?

People wey Sabi maths don talk the answer naa! No need, the answer is 96.

This is quantitative analysis not just mathematics. You are expected to reason beyond mere 1 + 1. Ur answer below is very wrong.

Snow30:
Answer is 40, anyone that says other wise.....

4+1=5
2+5+4+1=12
3+6+2+5+4+1=21

If you say my answer is wrong prove it. I outlined the steps I used to get 40, and it is very much authentic. You can't just say my answer is wrong without telling me why it is wrong. I look forward to hearing you proving my answer wrong until then it is very correct.

All you guys saying that this is quantitative reasoning and not mathematics, you need help. ......Biko what is quantitative reasoning, no be maths? Quantitative reasoning is just an aspect of maths or branch of maths made for mostly younger ones to be able to think fast and look for means to solve a problem fast , to prepare the mind for real mathematics.

Everything name maths, quantitative reasoning oo, some parts of physics oo, further maths oo, everything naa branch of maths.

Yess you have to think outside the box. But your thinking outside the box has to be in line with the rules and laws of what your trying to solve. Scientists have to think outside the box to solve a problem which gives them a hypothesis.,.After coming up with an hypothesis they still have to find ways to prove it without unreasonable doubts, using the already stated laws, except if they are deducing a law itself, which at 90 percent of times its linked to a previously stated law for example laws of indices is linked to laws of logarithims,thus making it a theory. Or else people will cast the hypothesis aside. Check, everything in this world is linked

Mind you thinking outside the box occurs at different levels. Your thinking outside the box as a scientist or a 20+ person will be different from that of a ninth grader. For example give a steroetypic ninth grader to solve this; find X, 2^x=30. A stereotypic ninth grader will get his calculator started and start punching in values. But to slice this question, it will be considered thinking outside the box for him. He will have to turn it into logarithim. Log 30 base 2=X. To find X all you will have to do is find log 30 base 2. But if you were to give a 12th grader he wouldnt need to "think outside the box" cause he is already accustomed to the method.
So my point is even tho the ninth grader thought outside the box to solve it , he thought of another theory that will help him solve it, thus a mathematical relation that is proven already, same with what scientists do. You can't just think outside the box, come up with a method and not know how to prove it. This is the first topic of Biology I believe, scientific methods.

You say your a maths professeur, so I believe you cant just say my answer is wrong without proving it wrong, like i did yours. You say my answer is wrong prove it. I outlined the steps I used to get 40, and it is very much authentic. You can't just say my answer is wrong without telling me why it is wrong. I look forward to hearing you proving my answer wrong until then it is very correct.

Goshh I love arguments

LOL. U r wrong because after 3 there is 4,5,6,7. is just omitted. 4 will be 4+7=32 till 7. If u now add everything frm 1 to 8 according to ur method u will get 96. In math is not about d method u use, as long as u dont break d rules

[quote author=olastrange post=45050261][/quote]

So what if instead of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 4,5,6,7, it was just random numbers and not a sequence(you grab), will you be able to use your so called missing numbers.

In maths, science, chemistry, the method you use or the hypothesis you come up with is meant to be independent of the variables, in this case numbers. Your method of bringing in "imaginary related" numbers is dependent on the numbers already there. Once you change a number in the question your method gets bleeped but mine will still stand.

In science if your method can only solve one particular set of variables in this case numbers, then it is no method or theory it remains your derranged hypothesis.

And still there is no proof that there are missing numbers.

Beat that!

And at olastrange you still don't tell me how my method is wrong. You even helped me and went on to say that if you add the "imaginary numbers" to the shown numbers and use MY METHOD, I will get 96. Which shows my method is independent. So why add the so called imaginary numbers when you will get the answers you need when there are no signs or proof of a missing number.

In maths or science....you don't add unnecessary variables, most especially if they will change the outcome. you use your law in the shortest way there is, avoiding new variables that will be hard or might not be able to be proven to be related to your cause. Even in organic chemistry, when counting to name the organic compound, you use the shortest chain and not the longest

Mr snow if can argue ooo. One thing u hv to know is that in math everything is not written example if they write just 5 for u. If you are really good in math u will know there so many things around that 5 but not written

If you have taken the SAT or GRE OR GMAT. Then you will understand what I'm saying, especially in the passages section. You went for the most obvious way,which will be in the options and you will fail it. If you then check the answers, they will tell you why your answer was wrong saying that, the option you choose was never insinuated in the passage or the option you choose was never stated in the equation, don't be the stereotypic John(if your using Princeton review) and go for the obvious or the option that follows your conclusion if it was never insinuates in the question. Solve with what you have.

And this is a typical GRE question. Mind you I'm just a High school student, ss3(12the grade) ....I have taken the SAT and not the GRE. but my brother has taken the GRE, so I read and also finished his GEE books out of boredom.

Yup there are so many things around the 5., but they all follow the rules.
5+0=5, 4+1=5, 5log 5 base 5 = 5....and so on....they all follow the laws.

Just saying

Common Entrance Examination.

96..

Well as I earlier said, I just want u to knw that the figures are written sequentially if u understand what I mean. (in a sequence order). Thereby omitting some figures. Now if u say ur answer is 40, pls what will b the answers to the following?

1+4=5
2+5=12
3+6=21
4+7=?
5+8=?
6+9=?
7+10=?
8+11=40 (as u said is ur answer)

And also note the way the figures are arranged in a sequence order. This is a proof that it's a quantitative analysis and u ve to look at it that way. Hope I just made a common sense.

Modified, now using ur mathematical method to solve the question above, u will see that u will still get 96 as the final answer.

I believe 96 is the answer. each line is on its own, thus it can be solved without referencing d eqn above it. so, multiply d two No's and add the first num, period

mamawin:

Hmm, I agree that this is another method in solving it. Using your method I can say that 96 is also correct but so is 40. Nothing wrong with my method, if there is am yet to see anyone prove me wrong. The reason you gave is void, each line can't be on its own.
But don't quote me wrong, your method is very correct might even be more authentic than the method I used.
But who knows there might be two answers to this question

I still stand that the former method of getting 96 can't be used, that's why I thought 96 was wrong and had to find another method which lead me to 40. But clearly from this method 96 is correct so is 40.
