(B) 9
(C) 10
(D) 24
The answer is 10, so fill in the oval , as shown.C
Trang 9QUESTION KEY SOLUTION STRAND LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY
1 A There are two circles in the set Space and Geometry Easy
This question tests estimation By visual approximation based on the width of each glass and the height of the level of water in each glass, D contains the most water
Measurement Easy
3 A The pattern is created by adding 110 to the previous number 585 + 110 = 695 Algebra and Pattern Easy
4 B There are 13 smiling faces out of the total of 20 Number and Arithmetic Easy
The new shape is a rhombus It has equal sides and not all its angles are equal
Space and Geometry Medium
6 C 8 × 19 = 152 Number and Arithmetic Medium
7 B This number has 3 ones, 2 tenths and 1 hundredth Therefore, the number is 3.21. Number and Arithmetic Medium/Hard
From 5 to 10 minutes, the volume of water changed from approximately 120 mL to
320 mL (the difference is 200 mL in
5 minutes) However, between 10 minutes and
15 minutes the change was from 320 mL to
600 mL (280 mL change in the same period of time, 5 minutes) From 15 minutes to
20 minutes, the change was 200 mL (600 mL
to 800 mL) and from 20 minutes to 25 minutes the change was the least Therefore, since we are measuring over the same period of time (5 minutes), the fastest rate of leaking was from
10 to 15 minutes
Chance and Data Medium/Hard

Level of difficulty refers to the expected level of difficulty for the question.
Easy more than 70% of candidates will choose the correct option
Medium about 50–70% of candidates will choose the correct option
Medium/Hard about 30–50% of candidates will choose the correct option
Hard less than 30% of candidates will choose the correct option
9 D All the keys are pressed if you start from W and follow the instructions on the buttons. Space and Geometry Hard
10 C
The two sides of the trapezium would be
3 cm + 3 cm = 6 cm The rest of the trapezium, which is 21 cm, would have to
be formed by the two bases (the top and the bottom base of the shape) Knowing that each tile has a side of 3 cm, we need to divide 21 by
3 to get the total number of tiles needed Measurement Hard
