There seem to be an error in the first quantity sample.no need for racking my precious brain.would like to know what quantitative reasoning textbook is that

Bro no error, if you can think back to primary 2-5 you would remember this is how the quantitative questions are presented.

Example 1 had some errors so, the method they used is not clear

1.B
2.E

Nawteemaxie:
Go back and tell your junior brother, you no kuku know the answer.

41- 12
42- 16

How did you get this?

Sfateema:
Mehn this is peppery


Otalenu

Oya water it down

IamOlusa:

Divine enlightenment.
Trust me, it is correct.

You may be right.I can recall sketchically.But it still appears to me that something isn't right with question, especially the ist sample.I might find a way around it if i persevere but I do not have the luxury of time to do that anyway.

Nawteemaxie:

Divine enlightenment. Trust me, it is correct.

That's what i think too, and if that's the answer, one of the sample is wrong

41 - B
42 - E

where is that orubebe meme....we will not take this!!!

This is hate speech. PMB must hear this.

Since most of my people here are saying there's error lemme too kuku stylishly say there's an error
Me wey I hate anything that has to do wit numbers na hin somebody go come embarrass 4 here, Abegi, majority carries d vote joor

I also believe there is an error may be in placing the numbers.
From the second diagram it should be 3+4=7 or 7-3=4 or 7-4=3 since it's O-level syllabus. The first diagram also has to follow a simple pattern (simple arithmatic). The question can't involve such things as prime numbers or power raising.
Trust I solve more complex patterns in GMAT and Dragnet within impossible times.
But pls Let me know if someone is able to solve it.

So nobody could solve dis here on nairaland.... My friend is beta u go to Facebook and join fin group dey will solve it for u... Na Vaseline crew dey nairaland

41-(9)
42-(16)
For instance example 1-add the three numbers together ie8+17+32=57,den add 8+17=25
Deduct 57 from 25=32 likewise the second example

42. E

S

PrettyHelen:
Who can solve this

There's error in the question and the example. It was suppose to be addition
3+4=7
5+7=12
But the theory only work for one a d not the other. There's something wrong with the example and the question

7-3/1 which is d least common value is 4, 32-8/2 which is d least common value is 12.pointing dat d first example there was a mistake. using this method number 41= B 42=B aswell

1 =b 2 =e

Lemme try....I know it's ur younger one's assignment. U don't know it but we'll help u out.

I came to check out for your solution, assignment must be submitted ooo

......aswear, I don forget this thread sha!! sh!t happens when u're on many threads at the same time.

From the given examples:

1. 8+17 = 25, 32-17 = 15
25+15 = 40 Which is equivalent to adding the two triangles

2. 7+4=11, 3-4 = -1
11-1= 10 which is equivalent to adding the two triangles

Q1. 14+5=19, 7-5 = 2
19+2 = 21 which equals to 14+7 (Answer is A =14)

Q2. 10+16=26, 42-16=26
26+26 = 52 equals to 10+42=52 (Answer is B 16)

Oya lets see what you come up with. I've deleted my answer now cos it seems effikko plenty here

Very simple......

Simply go to FREE area EMPLOY zero ( 0 )

26+26 = 52 equals to 10+42=52 (Answer is B 16)

I almost thought you got it right. However, with the explanation you gave any number would be correct.

/8-17/ = 9
3^2 = 9

/7-4/ = 3
3^1 = 3

41.) B
/x-5/ = y
7^1 = 7 = y
Therefore, x = 7+5 = 12

42.) E
/10-x/ = y
4^2 = 16 = y
Therefore, x = 10+16 = 26

Alright guys, using the example 2, 4*7=28 4*3=12 28+12=40 7+3=10 40/10=4 Now the answers to the questions are C and A which is 9 and 160 respectively.
