Question : In a division sum, the divisor is 11 times the quotient and 5 times the remainder. If the remainder is 44, then the dividend is:
Option 1: 8888
Option 2: 4448
Option 3: 8444
Option 4: 4444
Correct Answer: 4444
Solution : Divisor = $(5×44)=220$ ∴ 11$\times$Quotient = 220 ⇒ Quotient = $\frac{220}{11}$ = 20 Dividend = (Divisor$\times$Quotient) + Remainder = (220$\times$20) + 44 = 4400 + 44 = 4444 Hence, the correct answer is 4444.
Question : Directions: In a certain code language, A + B means A is the mother of B, A – B means A is the husband of B, A × B means A is the father of B, A ÷ B means A is the brother of B. Based on the above, how is T related to X if T × U – V + W ÷ X?
Option 1: Mother's father

So, 4 is related
Question : The simplified value of $(0.2)^{3}\times 200\div 2000$ of $(0.2)^{2}$ is:
Option 1: $\frac{1}{100}$
Option 2: $\frac{1}{50}$
Option 3: $\frac{1}{10}$
Option 4: $1$
Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{50}$
Solution : $(0.2)^{3}\times 200\div 2000$ of $(0.2)^{2}$ $=0.008\times200\div 2000\times0.04$ $=0.008\times200\div 80$ $=0.008\times200\times \frac{1}{80}$ $=2\times \frac{1}{100}$ $=\frac{1}{50}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1}{50}$.
