Q. What is: |2| – |–2| – 2² – (–2)² = ?
(A) –8
(B) –6
(C) –4
(D) –2

The answer is: (A) –8
Solution

(A) 2450
(B) 2500
(C) 2550
(D) 2600

The answer is: (C) 2550
Solution
This is an arithmetic sequence with common difference of 2. The first element is 2, the last element is 100, and total elements (from 2 to 100) are 50. So, a₁ = 2, a_n = 100, d = 2 and n = 50. So, by using the formula for the sum of n elements of an arithmetic sequence, we have

(A) 5000
(B) 5050
(C) 5100
(D) 5150

The answer is: (B) 5050
Solution
These are the first 100 natural numbers (n=100). So, by applying formula for the sum of the first n natural numbers, we have

(A) 21
(B) 22
(C) 23
(D) 24

The answer is: (D) 24
Solution

Q. What is the volume of a right-circular cylinder in cm³ having radius 2cm and height 7cm?
(A) 86 cm³
(B) 88 cm³
(C) 90 cm³
(D) 92 cm³

The answer is: (B) 88 cm³
Solution
Here, r=2 and h=7. Hence, by using formula for finding volume of a right-circular cylinder, we have

(A) 6
(B) 7
(C) 8
(D) 9

The answer is: (B) 7
Solution

(A) 100
(B) 110
(C) 120
(D) 130

The answer is: (A) 100
