Last vacation, my cousin came over to stay at my home. We made the most of her stay at my place... and I even earned a few chocolates. Everyday, we would play a game of chess. Whoever lost the game owed a chocolate to the other. After the last game we played (that was the day she was to leave), we counted the number of games each of us had won and lost. Wow! I had won more than her. So, she handed me 18 chocolates... though she herself was the winner in 9 games. How many days did my cousin spend at my place?

Correct Option: D

In which quadrilateral are all of these true: a) 'only' the opposite sides are the same length ; b) the opposite sides are parallel; c) the opposite angles are equal?

  1. trapezium

  2. rhombus

  3. parallelogram

  4. kite


Correct Option: C

AI Explanation

To answer this question, we need to understand the properties of each quadrilateral.

Option A) Trapezium - In a trapezium, only one pair of opposite sides is parallel. Therefore, option A does not satisfy the condition that the opposite sides are parallel, so it is incorrect.

Option B) Rhombus - In a rhombus, all four sides are equal in length, so both pairs of opposite sides are the same length. However, a rhombus does not necessarily have opposite angles that are equal, so option B is incorrect.

Option C) Parallelogram - In a parallelogram, both pairs of opposite sides are parallel, so it satisfies condition b). Additionally, the opposite angles in a parallelogram are equal, so it satisfies condition c) as well. However, a parallelogram does not necessarily have all sides of equal length, so option C does not satisfy condition a).

Option D) Kite - In a kite, the opposite sides are not parallel, so option D does not satisfy condition b). Therefore, option D is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C) Parallelogram. It is the only quadrilateral in which both pairs of opposite sides are parallel and the opposite angles are equal.

The Smith family has a Mother, Father and 7 daughters. Each daughter has 1 brother. How many people are in the family?

  1. 15

  2. 16

  3. 10

  4. 9


Correct Option: C

AI Explanation

To answer this question, let's break down the information given:

The Smith family has:

  • Mother
  • Father
  • 7 daughters
  • Each daughter has 1 brother

From this information, we can deduce that there is only 1 brother for all the daughters. Therefore, there is only 1 son in the family.

To calculate the total number of people in the family, we add up the number of family members:

  • Mother: 1
  • Father: 1
  • 7 daughters: 7
  • 1 son: 1

So, the total number of people in the family is 1 + 1 + 7 + 1 = 10.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C) 10.

Correct Option: D

1=5 2=25 3=125 4=625 5=?

  1. 3125

  2. 725

  3. 1

  4. 5


Correct Option: C

AI Explanation

To answer this question, let's analyze the given sequence:

1 = 5 2 = 25 3 = 125 4 = 625

Looking at the pattern, we can see that each number in the sequence is obtained by raising the corresponding number to the power of 5.

So, 5 raised to the power of 1 is 5, 5 raised to the power of 2 is 25, 5 raised to the power of 3 is 125, and 5 raised to the power of 4 is 625.

Therefore, the next number in the sequence would be 5 raised to the power of 5, which is 3125.

Hence, the correct answer is option A) 3125.
