Question 2
If the price of an electronics is N11,000, to which must be added VAT of 7.5%. What is the selling price?
VAT = \(7.5\% \text{ of } 11000\)\[\displaystyle 0.075 \times 11000 = 825\]Selling price = \(11000 + 825 = 11825\).
The computed result is ₦11,825, which is not listed among the options, indicating inconsistency in the options provided.

Question 3
During the recent Tijays cipher convention, a binary code contest took place. The contest consisted of a binary code transmission where the spaces between the letters were missing and there was no punctuation. Each letter of the alphabet was translated into its binary equivalent based on its position in the alphabet, a=1, b=10, c=11, d=100, e=101, f=110, g=111, h=1000, i=1001, j=1010, k=1011, l=1100, m=1101, n=1110, o=1111, p=10000, q=10001, r=10010, s=10011, t=10100, u=10101, v=10110, w=10111, x=11000, y=11001, z=11010. Which country does the code 110100101111011101 represent?
Break the binary string into valid codes based on the mapping:
1101 = m
0010 is invalid as a standalone, so regroup:
110 = f
10010 = r
11110 does not fit, so regroup carefully:
11010 = z
010 is invalid.
Using systematic decoding from left to right gives a valid segmentation corresponding to 'FRANCE'. The grouping aligns with valid binary representations of letters forming the word France.

Question 10
Joan and Jane are sisters. Jean is Joan's daughter and 12 years younger than her aunt. Joan is twice as old as Jean. Four years ago, Joan was the same age as Jane is now, and Jane was twice as old as her niece. How old is Jean?
Let Jean's age be \(x\).
Joan's age = \(2x\).
Jean is 12 years younger than Jane:\[\displaystyle \text{Jane} = x + 12\]Four years ago:\[\displaystyle 2x - 4 = \text{Jane now} = x + 12\]\[\displaystyle 2x - x = 12 + 4\]\[\displaystyle x = 16\]Thus Jean is 16 years old.
Joan's age = \(2x\).
Jean is 12 years younger than Jane:\[\displaystyle \text{Jane} = x + 12\]Four years ago:\[\displaystyle 2x - 4 = \text{Jane now} = x + 12\]\[\displaystyle 2x - x = 12 + 4\]\[\displaystyle x = 16\]Thus Jean is 16 years old.
