Read the passage below and answer the questions that follows.
In law, trespass can be: the criminal act of going into somebody else’s land or property without permission of the owner or lessee; it is also a civil law tort that may be a valid cause of action to
seek judicial relief and possibly damages through a lawsuit. In some jurisdictions trespassing is an offence or misdemeanor covered by a criminal code. In other jurisdictions, it is not considered a crime or penal in nature, property is protected from trespass under civil law and privacy acts.
In England and Wales, despite the prevalence of notices asserting that “trespassers will be prosecuted”, unless the trespass is aggravated in some way, it will only be a civil wrong.
Although criminal and civil trespass laws vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, most have the following facets in common: Property owners and their agents (for example, security guards)
may only use reasonable force to protect their property. For example, setting booby traps on a property to hurt trespassers or shooting at trespassers are usually strictly forbidden except in extreme circumstances. Not all persons seeking access to property are trespassers. The law recognizes the rights of persons given express permission to be on the property (“licensees”) and persons who have a legal right to be on the property (“invitees”) not to be treated as trespassers.
For example, a meter reader on the property to read the meter is an invitee, as would be a travelling salesperson, or a police officer seeking to execute a warrant.

MATHEMATICS PART:
2) Last year Jose sold a painting for $2000. If he made 25% profit on the sale, how much had
he paid for the painting?
A. $1200
C. $1500
C. $1600
D. $2400
E. $2500
Answer is C
Solution:
Jose made 25% profit, so if he bought the painting for x, he sold it for: x + 0.25x = 1.25x =
2000 ⇒x = 2000 ÷ 1.25 = 1600.
3) In the figure below what is the value of b?
A. 30
B. 36
C. 45
D. 60
E. 72
Answer is (B).
Solution:
Since vertical angles have the same measure, c = d, d = a, and b = a – b a = 2b.
Therefore, c = d = a = 2b. Also, the sum of the measures of all six angles is
3600, so a + b + c + d + a – b + d = 2a + c + 2d = 360. Replacing c, d, and a by
2b yields 10b = 360 ⇒b =36.
4)
A lacrosse team raised some money. The members used 74% of the money to
buy uniform, 18% for equipment, and the remaining $216 for a team party. How much
money did they raise?
A. 2400
B. 2450
C. 2500
D. 2600
E. 2700
Answer is E
Solution:
SINCE 74% + 18% = 92%, THE $216 spent on the party presents the other 8 % 0f the money
raised. Then: 0.08m = 216 ⇒ m = 216 ÷ 0.08 = 2700.
5)
In the figure below, what is the sum of the degree measures of all of the marked
angles?
A. 600
B. 620
C. 700
D. 720
E. 750
Answer is D
Each of the 10 marked angles is an exterior angle of the pentagon. If you take one angle at
each vertex, the sum of the degree measures of those five angles is 360; the sum of the degree
measures of the other five also is 360: 360 + 360 = 720.
6) In the figure below, ABCD is a parallelogram. What is the value of y – z?
A. 50
B. 55
C. 60
D. 65
10) What is the perimeter of Triangle ABC?
A. 80
B. 85
C. 95
D. 100
E. 105
Answer is D.
Solution
By the Pythagorean theorem, 82 + 152 = (CE)2 (CE)2 = 64 + 225 = 289 CE = 17. Then the
perimeter of CDE = 8 + 15 + 7 = 40. Triangles ABC and CDE are similar (each has a 900 angle,
and the vertical angle at C are congruent). The ratio of similitude is = 2.5, so the perimeter of ABC
is 2.5 × 40 = 100.
11) If the difference between the measures of the two smaller angles of a right triangle is 200,
what is the measure, in degrees, of the smallest angle?
A. 30
B. 35
C 5
D. 50
Answer is B
