CADET Mathematics and Problem Solving 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: If a patrol travels 12 kilometres in 3 hours, what is their average speed?
- 4 km/h (Correct answer)
- 3 km/h
- 6 km/h
- 36 km/h
Correct answer: 4 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 12 km ÷ 3 h = 4 km/h.
Question 2: A supply truck carries 240 kg of equipment to be divided equally among 8 soldiers. How much does each soldier carry?
- 30 kg (Correct answer)
- 24 kg
- 32 kg
- 28 kg
Correct answer: 30 kg
240 kg ÷ 8 soldiers = 30 kg per soldier.
Question 3: What is 15% of 200?
- 30 (Correct answer)
- 25
- 35
- 20
Correct answer: 30
15% of 200 = 0.15 × 200 = 30.
Question 4: A military exercise lasts from 06:30 to 14:45. How long is the exercise?
- 8 hours 15 minutes (Correct answer)
- 7 hours 45 minutes
- 8 hours 45 minutes
- 7 hours 15 minutes
Correct answer: 8 hours 15 minutes
From 06:30 to 14:45 is 8 hours and 15 minutes (14:45 − 06:30 = 8 h 15 min).
Question 5: If a rectangle has a length of 50 m and a width of 30 m, what is its area?
- 1,500 m² (Correct answer)
- 160 m²
- 1,500 m
- 80 m²
Correct answer: 1,500 m²
Area of a rectangle = length × width = 50 m × 30 m = 1,500 m².
Question 6: A vehicle uses 8 litres of fuel per 100 km. How much fuel is needed for a 350 km mission?
- 28 litres (Correct answer)
- 35 litres
- 24 litres
- 32 litres
Correct answer: 28 litres
Fuel needed = (8 litres ÷ 100 km) × 350 km = 28 litres.
