Mathematics Problems

We first had the problem of   "17 Horses and 3 brothers".  Then there was the problem of "Necklace broke in Love-making".  Some friends have asked me to enroll them in the Mathematics class.  Some of them have put a condition that the problems to be solved in the class should be only like the ones similar to breaking of Necklace in Love making.

In view of the persistent demand for enrolling in the class, classes have to be started.  But in order to screen the applicants, there should be an entrance test.  When there are tests nowadays for parents to admit kids to LKG or UKG, we should necessarily have an entrance test.

Here are 12 Mathematics Problems.  Some are very simple.  Some are a little complex.  None of them are difficult. The entrance test begins now and you have 15 minutes to answer these questions.


It is an interesting exercise.  Pick up a paper and pencil if you want to. Quickly solve the problems.


01.     50  ÷ 2 = 100 ÷ x    What is the value of  x?

02.      - 8 = 2 - x           What is the value of  x?

03.      52- x2   + x = 10  What is the value of x?

04.      3  (π -0.14)  = ?

05.      1221  ÷  111 = ?

06.      198 divided by 66 = ?

07.      √4 = ?

08.    1/8 multiplied by 96/2 = ?

09.      6 x 2 = ?

10.     102413 - 102412  = ?

11.     √64 = ?

12.   630 ÷  126 = ?


This is not just a set of 12 problems.  There is something more to it! 

 After you have solved all the problems, click here for answers.

  1. All correct in 2 to 3 minutes. The idea of the Mathematical clock is awesome, and the way you presented it in the form of the entrance test with answers on your blog is also beautiful and so refreshing.
