5 sample Core Mathematics questions

Answer each one, then tap “Show answer” to check.

  1. Question 1 · Logarithms · Objees practice question

    Evaluate log₁₀ 1000.

    1. A 2
    2. B 3
    3. C 10
    4. D 100
    Show answer

    B 3

    1000 = 10³, so log₁₀ 1000 = 3.

  2. Question 2 · Number bases · Objees practice question

    Convert 101₂ to base ten.

    1. A 3
    2. B 6
    3. C 5
    4. D 101
    Show answer

    C 5

    101₂ = (1 × 2²) + (0 × 2¹) + (1 × 2⁰) = 4 + 0 + 1 = 5.

  3. Question 3 · Quadratic equations · Objees practice question

    Solve: 2x² − 8 = 0

    1. A x = ±2
    2. B x = ±4
    3. C x = 2 only
    4. D x = 4 only
    Show answer

    A x = ±2

    2x² = 8, so x² = 4 and x = ±2. Don't forget the negative root.

  4. Question 4 · Variation · Objees practice question

    y varies directly as x, and y = 12 when x = 3. Find y when x = 5.

    1. A 15
    2. B 17
    3. C 36
    4. D 20
    Show answer

    D 20

    y = kx. From 12 = 3k, k = 4. So y = 4 × 5 = 20.

  5. Question 5 · Probability · Objees practice question

    A fair die is thrown once. What is the probability of getting an even number?

    1. A 1/6
    2. B 1/2
    3. C 1/3
    4. D 2/3
    Show answer

    B 1/2

    There are 3 even numbers (2, 4, 6) out of 6 outcomes: 3/6 = 1/2.
