One day, we landed on an island, and while my companions were gathering flowers and fruits, I took my wine and provisions and made a good meal near a stream between two high trees. Then I fell asleep and when I awoke the ship had gone.

I climbed to the top of a lofty tree to see if I could discover anything hopeful, and looked landward, I saw something white at a great distance, so I descended from the tree and made my way towards it. As I drew nearer, I thought it to be a huge white dome, and when I touched it, I found it was so smooth that there was no climbing to the top.

It was almost sunset. The air suddenly grew dark as if a huge cloud had come over the sun. I was surprised, but then I saw the cloud simply by a bird of monstrous size. I then remembered hearing sailors speak of a miraculous bird called the Roc and concluded that the great dome must be in reality its egg.

The bird alighted and sat over the egg and I noticed that its leg was as thick as the trunk of a tree. I tied myself securely to it with mu turban in the hope that when the Roc flew away the next morning, it would carry me with her out of this desert island. Fortunately, the bird was not aware of my presence.

My plan succeeded because at dawn, the Roc flew away but it went to such a height that I could not see the earth and when it descended it came down so rapidly that I almost lost my senses. I then immediately untied the knot that bound me to its leg. Scarcely had I donc so when the Roc picked up a large serpent and flew away with

I then found myself in a very deep valley surrounded by very high mountains which were too steep for me to climb. As I walked along the valley, I saw that it was strewn with diamonds some of which were very large. But then I saw a great number of serpents. When it was daylight, they disappeared in caves so as to be free from the Roc. It was then I left my place still trembling and walked for a long time on diamonds without feeling the least desire to possess the. After a time, I fell asleep as I had not slept at all the previous night.

   1. 2
   2. 3
   3. 4
   4. 6
      Working
      In Muraya’s mixture, maize: beans = 4:3
      maize = ^{Ratio of maize}/_{Total ratio} x No of kg
      =4/₇ x 126
      72kg
      In Dan’s mixture, maize: beans = 5: 4
      Maize = ^{Ratio of maize}/_{Total ratio} x No of kg
      =⁵/₇ x 126
      = 70kg
      Difference = ( 72 - 70 )kg
      = 2kg
      The correct answer is A (2kg)
2. A rectangular plot measures 12m by 10m.The length of the plot is increased in the ratio 3:2 , while the width is decreased in the ratio 4;5.By what ratio is the area of the plot decreased?
   1. 4:3
   2. 5:4
   3. 6:5
   4. 3:2
      Working
      New length after increase
      ³/₂ x 12 = 18m
      New width after decrease
      ⁴/₅ x 10 = 8m
      Original area before the increase/decrease
      = (12 x 10) m²
      = 120m²
      New area = (18 x 8) m²
      = 144 m²
      New ratio = 144: 120
      = 6 : 5
      The correct answer is C (6: 5).
3. Gladys keeps hens, ducks, and turkeys. The ratio of hens to ducks is 5:2. The number of turkeys is 35 less than the number of hens. How many turkeys are there if there are 30 ducks?
   1. 105
   2. 40
   3. 75 
   4. 65
      Working
      Hens : ducks = 5 : 2
      Total ratio = 7
      Ducks = ²/₅
      Hens = ⁵/₇ of x
      Therefore ²/₇ of x = 30
      x = 30 x  ⁷/₂
      x = 105 (Total hens and ducks)
      Hens =⁵/₇ x 105
      = 75
      Turkeys = (75 – 35)
      The correct answer is B (40)
4. Elijah and Paul shared some money in the ratio 5:8.Elijah got sh120 less than Paul. How much money did Paul get?
   1. Sh520
   2. Sh320
   3. Sh200
   4. Sh192
      Working
      Let the amount Paul got be t
      Therefore Elijah got (t-120)
      Therefore t -120 : t = 5 : 8
      ^{t – 120}/_t = ⁵/₈
      8t – 960 = 5t
      8t – 5t = 960
      3t = 960
      t = sh320
      Therefore Paul got = sh 320
      The correct answer is B (sh320)

   4. 50
      Working
      60 men take 150 days
      1 man take (150x60) days
      Therefore 50 men will take ^{150 x 60}/₅₀ days
      = 180 days
      How many more? (180 – 150) days
      = 30 days
      The correct answer is B (30 days)
6. Eighteen men can finish to dig a piece of land in 45 days. How many days would 15 men take to finish the same piece of land?
   1. 54
   2. 2
   3. 7½
   4. 9
      Working
      18 men take 45 days
      1 man takes (45 x 18) days
      Therefore 15 men will take ^{45 x 18}/₁₅
      = 54 days
      The correct answer is A (54 days)

Scale Drawing

Worked Exercise

1. The distance between two villages is 6.4KM. On the map of the region this distance is represented by a line 1.6 cm long. What is the scale of the map?
   1. 1: 400000
   2. 1: 40000
   3. 1: 4000 
   4. 1: 4
      Working
      Actual distance = 6.4 km
      Drawing length = 1.6cm
      1 cm on the map = ^6.4/_1.6
      = 4km on the ground
      But 1 km = (1000 x 100) cm
      4km = 4 x 1000 x 100
      = 400000cm
      Therefore scale = 1: 400000
      The correct answer is A (1: 400000)

      7 cm represents 105 m
      1 cm represents (105 ÷ 7)
      Scale used,
      1 cm represents 15m
             ?                  75m

      1 : 20 scale means 1 cm on a drawing represents 20 cm on the ground.
      1 cm represents 20cm
         ?                      100cm
      =¹⁰⁰/₂₀

   1. 0.254
   2. 2.54
   3. 25.4
   4. 254
      Working
      1: 10000 means 1 cm on the map represents 10000 cm on the ground
      If 1 cm = 10,0000cm
      ? = 72,000cm
      = (⁷²⁰⁰⁰/₁₀₀₀₀) cm
      = 7.2cm
      If 1cm = 10,000cm
      = 55,000cm

   1. 40cm 
   2. 400 cm 
   3. 4000 cm
   4. 4 cm
      Working

      20 km = 20 x 1000 x 100
      = 2000000 cm
      50,000cm represents = 1 cm
      2,000,000 represents = 2,000,000 ÷ 50,000
