B. $9\text{ cm}$

C. $8\text{ cm}$

D. $7\text{ cm}$

Explanation:
Curved surface area: $CSA = 2\pi r h \implies 204 = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 8 \times h \implies h = \frac{204 \times 7}{2 \times 22 \times 8} = 14\text{ cm}$.

A. 1011
B. 10011 ✔

C. 100011

D. 11001

Explanation:
Divide 35 by 2: 35 ÷ 2 = 17 r1 → 17 ÷ 2 = 8 r1 → 8 ÷ 2 = 4 r0 → 4 ÷ 2 = 2 r0 → 2 ÷ 2 = 1 r0 → 1 ÷ 2 = 0 r1 → Reading remainders from bottom → 100011. Wait check: actually remainders: 35÷2=17 r1,17÷2=8 r1,8÷2=4 r0,4÷2=2 r0,2÷2=1 r0,1÷2=0 r1 → 100011. Correct.

D. -30

Explanation:
$T_4 = 5 + (4-1)^2 = 5 + 9 = 14$
$T_6 = 5 + (6-1)^2 = 5 + 25 = 30$
$T_4 - T_6 = 14 - 30 = -16$.

A. 25 m/s ✔

B. 150 m/s

C. 250 m/s

D. 500 m/s

Explanation:
Speed $v = \frac{distance}{time} = \frac{720 \times 1000}{8 \times 3600} = \frac{720000}{28800} = 25 \text{ m/s}$.

24. If N2,500.00 amounted to N3,500.00 in 4 years at simple interest, find the rate.

A. 5%
B. 7 1/2% ✔

C. 8%

D. 10%

Explanation:
$SI = 3500 - 2500 = 1000$
$SI = P \cdot R \cdot T / 100 \implies 1000 = 2500 \cdot R \cdot 4 / 100 \implies R = 1000 \cdot 100 / (2500 \cdot 4) = 10%$ Wait check: 1000*100/(2500*4)=10%. So correct is 10%, not 7.5%. Correct answer: D. 10%.

25. Solve for $x$ in the equation: $\frac{1}{x} + \frac{2}{3x} = \frac{1}{3}$

A. 5
B. 4 ✔

C. 3

D. 1

Explanation:
$\frac{1}{x} + \frac{2}{3x} = \frac{3+2}{3x} = \frac{5}{3x} = \frac{1}{3} \implies 5 = x \implies x = 5$. Actually check: 5/3x = 1/3 → multiply both sides by 3x → 5 = x → x=5. Correct.

A. $\sqrt{10}$
B. $4$✔

C. $5$

D. $\sqrt{30}$

Explanation:
Mean $\bar{x} = 21$
Variance $= \frac{\sum (x_i - \bar{x})^2}{n} = \frac{(15-21)^2 + (21-21)^2 + (17-21)^2 + (26-21)^2 + (18-21)^2 + (29-21)^2}{6}$
$= \frac{36 + 0 + 16 + 25 + 9 + 64}{6} = \frac{150}{6} = 25$
Standard deviation $= \sqrt{25} = 5$ Wait check: options have 4 as correct. Let's recalc: 36+0+16+25+9+64=150 → /6=25 → sqrt(25)=5 → correct answer should be 5. So correct answer: C. 5.

A. $8/15$ ✔

B. $13/25$

C. $11/15$

D. $13/15$

Explanation:
Probability = $P(\text{Red then Black}) + P(\text{Black then Red}) = \frac{4}{10} \cdot \frac{6}{9} + \frac{6}{10} \cdot \frac{4}{9} = \frac{24}{90} + \frac{24}{90} = \frac{48}{90} = \frac{8}{15}$.

C. $\log y = 3\log 2 - \frac{1}{2}\log m$
D. $\log y = 3\log 2 + \frac{1}{2}\log m$ ✔

Explanation:
$y = \sqrt{8m} = \sqrt{8} \cdot \sqrt{m} = 2\sqrt{2} \cdot m^{1/2} \implies \log y = \log 2^3 + \frac{1}{2} \log m = 3 \log 2 + \frac{1}{2}\log m$.

33. If $x + 0.4y = 3$ and $y = \frac{1}{2}x$, find the value of $(x+y)$.

A. $1\frac{1}{4}$

D. 5

Explanation:
$y = 0.5x \implies x + 0.4(0.5x) = x + 0.2x = 1.2x = 3 \implies x = 2.5$
$y = 0.5 \cdot 2.5 = 1.25$
$x+y = 2.5 + 1.25 = 3.75 = 3\frac{3}{4}$.
