If \(x/y = 6/5\), the value of \(\frac{x^2+y^2}{x^2-y^2}\) is:

Answer: B

We can let x=6 and y=5.

Substitute these values into the expression:

\(\frac{6^2+5^2}{6^2-5^2} = \frac{36+25}{36-25} = \frac{61}{11}\).

The sum of the place values of 3 in the number 503535 is:

Answer: A

In the number 503535:

The first '3' is in the thousands place, so its place value is \(3 \times 1000 = 3000\).

The second '3' is in the tens place, so its place value is \(3 \times 10 = 30\).

The sum of the place values is \(3000 + 30 = 3030\).

Find the value of \((243)^{0.16} \times (243)^{0.04}\).

Answer: B

When multiplying powers with the same base, we add the exponents.

The expression becomes \((243)^{0.16 + 0.04} = (243)^{0.20}\).

\(0.20\) as a fraction is \(20/100 = 1/5\).

So we need to find \((243)^{1/5}\), which is the fifth root of 243.

We know that \(3^5 = 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 = 243\).

Therefore, the value is 3.

What is 25% of 50% of 200?

Answer: B

First, calculate 50% of 200.

50% of 200 = \(0.5 \times 200 = 100\).

Now, calculate 25% of 100.

25% of 100 = 25.

The sum of the digits of a 2-digit number is 9. When 27 is added to the number, the digits get reversed. The number is:

Answer: B

Let the ten's digit be x and the unit's digit be y. Number = 10x + y.

Given: x + y = 9.

Given: (10x + y) + 27 = 10y + x (reversed number).

\(9x - 9y = -27\), which simplifies to \(x - y = -3\) or \(y - x = 3\).

We have two equations: x + y = 9 and y - x = 3.

Adding them: 2y = 12, so y = 6.

Substituting y=6 into x+y=9, we get x=3.

The number is 36.

What is the smallest number that must be added to 2203 to make it a perfect square?

Answer: C

We need to find the nearest perfect square greater than 2203.

We know \(40^2 = 1600\) and \(50^2 = 2500\). The root is between 40 and 50.

Let's try 47: \(47^2 = 2209\).

The next perfect square after 2203 is 2209.

The number to be added is \(2209 - 2203 = 6\).

Find the value of \(0.5 \times 0.05 \times 500\).

Answer: B

We can multiply sequentially.

\(0.5 \times 0.05 = 0.025\).

Now, \(0.025 \times 500 = 25 \times 0.5 = 12.5\).

Alternatively, write as fractions: \((\frac{1}{2}) \times (\frac{5}{100}) \times 500 = (\frac{1}{2}) \times (\frac{1}{20}) \times 500 = \frac{500}{40} = \frac{50}{4} = 12.5\).

If a number is decreased by 4 and divided by 6, the result is 8. What would be the result if 2 is subtracted from the number and then it is divided by 5?

Answer: B

Let the number be x.

According to the first condition: \(\frac{x-4}{6} = 8\).

\(x-4 = 48\), so \(x = 52\).

Now, according to the second condition, subtract 2 from the number: \(52 - 2 = 50\).

Then divide by 5: \(50 \div 5 = 10\).

Simplify: \(2 \frac{1}{2} + 3 \frac{1}{4} - 1 \frac{1}{3}\)

Answer: A

First, convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions.

\(2 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2}\)

\(3 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{13}{4}\)

\(1 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{4}{3}\)

The expression is \(\frac{5}{2} + \frac{13}{4} - \frac{4}{3}\).

The LCM of the denominators (2, 4, 3) is 12.

\(\frac{5 \times 6}{12} + \frac{13 \times 3}{12} - \frac{4 \times 4}{12} = \frac{30 + 39 - 16}{12} = \frac{53}{12}\).

Converting back to a mixed fraction: \(53 \div 12\) gives a quotient of 4 and a remainder of 5. So, \(4 \frac{5}{12}\).
