Sample JAMB UTME Mathematics 2022 questions

1. A sum of N840 is shared among three people in the ratio 3:4:5. How much does the person with the largest share receive?
  1. N280
  2. N300
  3. N350
  4. N420

Answer: C. N350

The 12 ratio parts are worth N70 each, so the largest share is 5 x N70 = N350.

2. If y varies directly as the square of x and y = 72 when x = 3, find y when x = 5.
  1. 200
  2. 120
  3. 160
  4. 240

Answer: A. 200

Since y = kx^2, k = 72/9 = 8, and therefore y = 8 x 25 = 200.

3. A varies inversely as the square of b. If A = 18 when b = 2, what is A when b = 3?
  1. 6
  2. 12
  3. 4
  4. 8

Answer: D. 8

A times b^2 is constant at 18 x 4 = 72, so A = 72/9 = 8 when b = 3.

4. N240,000 is invested at 5% simple interest per annum for 3 years. What is the total amount at the end of the period?
  1. N264,000
  2. N276,000
  3. N280,000
  4. N300,000

Answer: B. N276,000

The interest is 240,000 x 0.05 x 3 = N36,000, giving a total of N276,000.

5. What is the amount on N100,000 invested at 10% compound interest per annum for 2 years?
  1. N120,000
  2. N121,100
  3. N121,000
  4. N122,000

Answer: C. N121,000

The amount is 100,000 x (1.10)^2 = N121,000.
