Mini practice paper: 8 questions

Mixed-difficulty questions from across the Mathematics syllabus. Tap "Show answer" after each to check yourself.

Q1 · Difficulty 1/3

Expand 3(2x − 5).

  1. 5x − 15
  2. 6x + 15
  3. 6x − 15
  4. 6x − 5
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C — 6x − 15
3 × 2x = 6x, 3 × −5 = −15.
Q2 · Difficulty 1/3

Work out 4³.

  1. 64
  2. 12
  3. 16
  4. 81
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A — 64
4 × 4 × 4 = 64.
Q3 · Difficulty 1/3

Simplify 6a − 2a + 5a.

  1. a
  2. 9a
  3. 13a
  4. 3a
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — 9a
6 − 2 + 5 = 9, so 9a.
Q4 · Difficulty 2/3

In a right-angled triangle with legs 9 cm and 12 cm, the hypotenuse is:

  1. 15 cm
  2. 21 cm
  3. 10 cm
  4. 108 cm
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A — 15 cm
√(81 + 144) = √225 = 15 cm.
Q5 · Difficulty 2/3

The interior angle of a regular pentagon is:

  1. 72°
  2. 90°
  3. 108°
  4. 120°
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C — 108°
Sum 540° ÷ 5 = 108°.
Q6 · Difficulty 2/3

A circle has a radius of 7 cm. Calculate the area of the circle, giving your answer correct to 3 significant figures.

  1. 176 cm²
  2. 153 cm²
  3. 154 cm²
  4. 144 cm²
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C — 154 cm²
Area = πr² = π × 7² = π × 49 ≈ 153.938... cm² ≈ 154 cm² (3 s.f.). Option A (153 cm²) is rounded to 3 s.f. incorrectly, truncating rather than rounding. Option C (144 cm²) results from using r = 6 (a common off-by-one radius error). Option D (176 cm²) results from using the diameter squared instead of radius squared.
Q7 · Difficulty 2/3

A surveyor in Kenya measures two triangular plots of land. Triangle PQR has sides PQ = 12 m, QR = 15 m, and PR = 18 m. Triangle XYZ has sides XY = 8 m, YZ = 10 m, and XZ = 12 m. What is the ratio of the area of triangle PQR to the area of triangle XYZ?

  1. 3 : 2
  2. 9 : 4
  3. 27 : 8
  4. 6 : 4
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — 9 : 4
Award 1 mark for finding the linear scale factor k = 12/8 = 3/2. Award 1 mark for applying area ratio = k² = (3/2)² = 9/4. A is incorrect — this is the linear scale factor, not the area ratio. C is incorrect — this is the volume ratio k³. D is incorrect — this simplifies to 3:2 which is the linear ratio.
Q8 · Difficulty 1/3

7² equals:

  1. 14
  2. 49
  3. 42
  4. 21
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — 49
49.
