Question 1

A car uses 8 liters of petrol per 100 km. How many liters are needed for a 350 km trip from Riyadh to Al Khobar?

Accepted Answer

28 liters

Answer

Fuel needed = (8/100) × 350 = 28 liters. Rate-based consumption calculations are practical word problems on the Qudurat.

Question 2

A rectangular swimming pool is 25 m long, 10 m wide, and 2 m deep. How many cubic meters of water does it hold?

Accepted Answer

500 m³

Answer

Volume = length × width × depth = 25 × 10 × 2 = 500 m³. Each cubic meter equals 1,000 liters, so the pool holds 500,000 liters.

Question 3

A Saudi company's revenue grew from SAR 2 million to SAR 3.2 million in one year. What was the growth rate?

Accepted Answer

60%

Answer

Growth = 3.2 - 2 = SAR 1.2 million. Growth rate = (1.2/2) × 100 = 60%. Percentage growth is calculated relative to the starting value.

Question 4

Omar invests SAR 10,000 at 5% simple interest per year. How much interest does he earn after 3 years?

Accepted Answer

SAR 1,500

Answer

Simple interest = Principal × Rate × Time = 10,000 × 0.05 × 3 = SAR 1,500. Simple interest is calculated on the original principal only.

Question 5

In a class, the ratio of students who passed to those who failed is 7:3. If 6 more students had passed, the ratio would be 9:1. How many students are in the class?

Accepted Answer

50

Answer

Let pass = 7k, fail = 3k. New ratio: (7k+6)/(3k-6) = 9/1 → 7k+6 = 9(3k-6) → 7k+6 = 27k-54 → 60 = 20k → k = 3. Total = 10k = 30. Wait: let me recalculate. 7(3)+3(3) = 21+9 = 30. Check: (21+6)/(9-6) = 27/3 = 9. Yes, total = 30.
