Sample NECO SSCE Mathematics 2024 questions

1. What is the distance between the points (-2, 3) and (4, 11)?
  1. 10
  2. 8
  3. 12
  4. 14

Answer: A. 10

The distance is sqrt((4 - (-2))^2 + (11 - 3)^2) = sqrt(36 + 64) = 10.

2. If p = (2, -1) and q = (-3, 4), what is 2p + q?
  1. (-1, 2)
  2. (1, 2)
  3. (1, -2)
  4. (7, -6)

Answer: B. (1, 2)

Since 2p = (4, -2), adding q gives (4 - 3, -2 + 4) = (1, 2).

3. The mean of five scores is 8, and four of the scores are 4, 7, 8 and 11; what is the fifth score?
  1. 8
  2. 9
  3. 10
  4. 12

Answer: C. 10

The five scores total 5 x 8 = 40, while the known scores total 30, so the missing score is 10.

4. Two fair six-sided dice are rolled together; what is the probability that their scores add up to 9?
  1. 1/6
  2. 1/12
  3. 1/4
  4. 1/9

Answer: D. 1/9

There are 4 outcomes giving a sum of 9 out of 36 equally likely outcomes, so the probability is 4/36 = 1/9.

5. A circle has radius 7 cm; using pi = 22/7, what is its circumference?
  1. 44 cm
  2. 22 cm
  3. 154 cm
  4. 49 cm

Answer: A. 44 cm

The circumference is 2 x pi x 7 = 44 cm.
