Today being the 17th of August 2020, the secondary school exit students finally sat for their first WAEC examination which happened to be Mathematics.
Below are the correct answers for today’s WAEC Exams:
(1a)
Given A={2,4,6,8,…}
B={3,6,9,12,…}
C={1,2,3,6}
U= {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}
A’ = {1,3,5,7,9}
B’ = {1,2,4,5,7,8,10}
C’ = {4,5,7,8,9,10}
A’nB’nC’ = {5, 7}
(1b)
Cost of each premiere ticket = $18.50
At bulk purchase, cost of each = $80.00/50 = $16.00
Amount saved = $18.50 – $16.00
=$2.50

Draw the diagram
CBD = CDB(Base angles of an issoceles triangle)
BCD + CBD + CDB = 180°(sum of angles in a triangle)
2CDB + BCD = 180°
2CDB + 108° = 180°
2CDB = 180° – 108° =72°
CDB = 72/2 = 36°
BDE = 90°(angle in a semi-circle)
CDE = CDB + BDE
= 36° + 90°
= 126°
(3b)
(CosX)² – SinX/(SinX)²+ CosX
Using Pythagoras theorem, third side of triangle
y² = 1² + |3²
y² = 1 + 3 = 4
y = square root e = 2
Cos X = 1/2(adj/hyp)
Sin X = root 3/2(opp/hyp)
(CosX)² – SinX/(SinX)² + CosX
= (1/2)² – root3/2 / (root3/2)² + 1/2
= 1/4 – root3/2 / 3/4 + 1/2
= 1 – 2root3/4 / 3+2/4
= 1-2root3/5

Let Ms Maureen’s Income = Nx
1/4x = shopping mall
1/3x = at an open market
Hence shopping mall and open market = 1/4x + 1/3x
= 3x + 4x/12 = 7/12x
Hence the remaining amount
= X-7/12x = 12x-7x/12 =5x/12
Then 2/5(5x/12) = mechanic workshop
= 2x/12 = x/6
Amount left = N225,000
Total expenses
= 7/12x + X/6 + 225000
= Nx
7x+2x+2,700,000/12 =Nx
9x + 2,700,000 = 12x
2,700,000 = 12x – 9x
2,700,000/3 = 3x/3
X = N900,000
(ii) Amount spent on open market = 1/3X
= 1/3 × 900,000
= N300,000
(8b)
T3 = a + 2d = 4m – 2n
T9 = a + 8d = 2m – 8n
-6d = 4m – 2m – 2n + 8n
-6d = 2m + 6n
-6d/-6 = 2m+6n/-6
d = -m/3 – n
d = -1/3m – n

Draw the triangle
(9b)
(i)Using cosine formulae
q² = x² + y² – 2xycosQ
q² = 9² + 5² – 2×9×5cos90°
q² = 81 + 25 – 90 × 0
q² = 106
q = square root 106
q = 10.30 = 10km/h
Distance = 10 × 2 = 20km
(ii)
Using sine formula
y/sin Y = q/sin Q
5/sin Y = 10.30/sin 90°
Sin Y = 5 × sin90°/10.30
Sin Y = 5 × 1/10.30
Sin Y = 0.4854
Y = sin‐¹(0.4854), Y = 29.04
Bearing of cyclist X from y
= 90° + 19.96°
= 109.96° = 110°
(9c)
Speed = 20/4, average speed = 5km/h
