The sum of a positive even integer number and the next third even integer is equal to 150. Find the number.

• 76

• 72

• 78

• 75

• 74

Answer explanation

Let the positive even integer is 𝑥. 

Then 𝑥 + (𝑥 + 6) = 150 

x = 72

Analyse the following two equations and select the correct option

• 3

• 9

• 2

• 5

• 1

Answer explanation

Zhan is playing with his friends in the park which is rectangular in shape. The perimeter of the park is 400 m. If the length of the park is 150 m, what is the width of the park?

• 250m

• 200m

• 150m

• 155m

• 50m

Answer explanation

The perimeter of the park = is 400 m

Length of park = 150 m

Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (length +breadth)

400 = 2 (150 + breadth)

400/2 = 150 + breadth

200 = 150 + breadth

200 – 150 = breadth

Breadth = 50 m

In a magic square, numbers are arranged in a way that the sum of the numbers in any horizontal, vertical, or main diagonal line is always the same.

Select the correct equation.

• 4X = 3Y

• 3X = 4Y

• 5X = 4Y

• 4X = 5Y

Answer explanation

Last column adds up to 90. 

That means the diagonal addition which has Y should also add up to 90.

Thus, it will be 90 - 66 = 24.

Similarly, the box just below X would give us 90 - (25 + 24 + 22) = 19.

Lastly, diagonal wise, x + empty box (in third row third column) = 50.

Also, first column = x + empty box (in third row first column) = 53.

Third row unknowns = 43.

So, 2x + 43 = 103.

2x = 60.

x = 30.

At Prime High School there are three language classes; French, German and Italian. There are 40 students in each class.
