Read the passage below and answer questions 26 to 38

           Daudi looked for his friends excitedly. He had made a discovery he believed would interest them. Just in the neighbouring farms, he had come across a squirrel. It looked big and good to eat  but then he knew he needed miracles to catch it. Many others had tired but only a handful were successful though he was sure with the brains they had, if combined, they could easily catch not just one but even four in a day. Each of them would carry a whole carcass home although the 'feast' would wait for three or so days.
           It was approaching three o'clock when he managed to assembled his 'soldiers' as he expected, they were excited. Naum said he knew how to make good traps and it would take him only minutes to do so. Tope, on the other hand, was good at tracking and so they were upbeat as they went through the hedge to Kauma's cassava farm. Tope reminded them that if they caught the four, they could inform Kauma and he would definitely reward them. However, Daudi hoped they would not be suspected of stealing the crop. The boys laid their traps at the entrance of the holes. They did not know whether the squirrels were in or out so they had only one option: to lie still and wait. The waiting period would depend on factors beyond their ability.
           In the next fifteen minutes or so, they saw a woman approaching the farm. She had a medium-sized reed basket and a short panga, the type used for harvesting cassava tubers. She looked left and right then crouched as she approached the farm. All the boys identified her positively: Teresa, the talkative woman who lived alone. creeping like a lizard, she went up near the centre of the farm. she was actually near the boys but out of earshot. She could not hear Naum describing her as the biggest squirrel they'd ever seen. She embarked on her business with skill and speed.
           A squirrel appeared as if from nowhere. it stood on its hind legs and looked at the woman. She picked up a stone, threw it at the creature and it swiftly shuttled towards the hedge. Another one followed and seemed to be hasty. Its head went right into the trap and was unlucky to get caught as the boys silently gave one another a 'high-five' for the achievement. However, Teresa saw it!
           The next activities happened faster than they expected. As the boys silenced themselves to see how Teresa would handle the situation, they heard shuffling and when they turned their heads, they almost stopped breathing. Kauma, the least expected person by both parties, appeared. he was accompanied by two young men and for the first time we, the trappers, felt really trapped.!
           In a matter of minutes , they were all out of the farm. The boys explained when and what had brought them into the farm. As they narrated how they had seen Teresa do all that she did, Kauma started smiling but when it reached where she went for the trapped squirrel, he laughed out loudly and everybody else except her, joined in. he was a kind man for he ordered us to be given our squirrel as he released Teresa unconditionally. He let her take the tubers she had harvested.

Read the passage below and the answer questions 39 to 50.

           Are you always saying 'Yes' to people whom you believe you should not? This is a bad habit  many of us suffer from though for a good reason. Many adults find themselves in this situation because of how they were raised.
           We were taught how to be polite and that came with always doing what we were told. Refusal to do so was seen as a backtalk and lack of discipline by parents, teachers and those in authority.
           Saying NO can be hard when you do not want to upset others, be a source of disappointment or just happen to be a people pleaser. Sometimes, you are scared of saying 'NO' for fear of feeling guilty afterwards, more so if you are in a position to help and have no valid reason to say "NO".
           A research study carried out by a social psychologist, in examining people's influence over others came to the conclusion that many people agree to do things they would prefer not to do to avoid the considerable discomfort of saying NO. Out of that, you find yourself being overwhelmed and unhappy because you said you would go for an event you did not want to attend or took up more work assignments when you are up in the neck with any deadlines.
           As valid as these fears may be, you need to mark deeply and fully understand why you need to say NO and for what reasons. Sometimes you just do not want to do it and it is time to say NO.
           Allow you say NO without lying which is usually the default for most of us matters, Be polite, firm and say you are not able to do whatever it is. You can follow up with responses like. "Let me get back to you." or "Let me think about it first then i'll get back to you."

   1. 2
   2. 3
   3. 4
   4. 6
      Working
      In Muraya’s mixture, maize: beans = 4:3
      maize = ^{Ratio of maize}/_{Total ratio} x No of kg
      =4/₇ x 126
      72kg
      In Dan’s mixture, maize: beans = 5: 4
      Maize = ^{Ratio of maize}/_{Total ratio} x No of kg
      =⁵/₇ x 126
      = 70kg
      Difference = ( 72 - 70 )kg
      = 2kg
      The correct answer is A (2kg)
2. A rectangular plot measures 12m by 10m.The length of the plot is increased in the ratio 3:2 , while the width is decreased in the ratio 4;5.By what ratio is the area of the plot decreased?
   1. 4:3
   2. 5:4
   3. 6:5
   4. 3:2
      Working
      New length after increase
      ³/₂ x 12 = 18m
      New width after decrease
      ⁴/₅ x 10 = 8m
      Original area before the increase/decrease
      = (12 x 10) m²
      = 120m²
      New area = (18 x 8) m²
      = 144 m²
      New ratio = 144: 120
      = 6 : 5
      The correct answer is C (6: 5).
3. Gladys keeps hens, ducks, and turkeys. The ratio of hens to ducks is 5:2. The number of turkeys is 35 less than the number of hens. How many turkeys are there if there are 30 ducks?
   1. 105
   2. 40
   3. 75 
   4. 65
      Working
      Hens : ducks = 5 : 2
      Total ratio = 7
      Ducks = ²/₅
      Hens = ⁵/₇ of x
      Therefore ²/₇ of x = 30
      x = 30 x  ⁷/₂
      x = 105 (Total hens and ducks)
      Hens =⁵/₇ x 105
      = 75
      Turkeys = (75 – 35)

   1. Sh520
   2. Sh320
   3. Sh200
   4. Sh192
      Working
      Let the amount Paul got be t
      Therefore Elijah got (t-120)
      Therefore t -120 : t = 5 : 8
      ^{t – 120}/_t = ⁵/₈
      8t – 960 = 5t
      8t – 5t = 960
      3t = 960
      t = sh320
      Therefore Paul got = sh 320
      The correct answer is B (sh320)

   4. 50
      Working
      60 men take 150 days
      1 man take (150x60) days
      Therefore 50 men will take ^{150 x 60}/₅₀ days
      = 180 days
      How many more? (180 – 150) days
      = 30 days
      The correct answer is B (30 days)
6. Eighteen men can finish to dig a piece of land in 45 days. How many days would 15 men take to finish the same piece of land?
   1. 54
   2. 2
   3. 7½
   4. 9
      Working
      18 men take 45 days
      1 man takes (45 x 18) days
      Therefore 15 men will take ^{45 x 18}/₁₅
      = 54 days
      The correct answer is A (54 days)

Worked Exercise

1. The distance between two villages is 6.4KM. On the map of the region this distance is represented by a line 1.6 cm long. What is the scale of the map?
   1. 1: 400000
   2. 1: 40000
   3. 1: 4000 
   4. 1: 4
      Working
      Actual distance = 6.4 km
      Drawing length = 1.6cm
      1 cm on the map = ^6.4/_1.6
      = 4km on the ground
      But 1 km = (1000 x 100) cm
      4km = 4 x 1000 x 100
      = 400000cm
      Therefore scale = 1: 400000
      The correct answer is A (1: 400000)

   1. 0.254
   2. 2.54
   3. 25.4
   4. 254
      Working

      If 1 cm = 10,0000cm
      ? = 72,000cm
      = (⁷²⁰⁰⁰/₁₀₀₀₀) cm
      = 7.2cm
      If 1cm = 10,000cm
      = 55,000cm
      = ( ^55,000/_10,000 ) cm
      = 5.5cm
      Perimeter
      
      P = 2(L+W)

   2. 400 cm 
   3. 4000 cm
   4. 4 cm
      Working
      Scale 1 : 50000 means 1cm on the map represents 50000 cm on the ground.
      20 km = 20 x 1000 x 100
      = 2000000 cm
      50,000cm represents = 1 cm
      2,000,000 represents = 2,000,000 ÷ 50,000

      X + m – 2 + m + 3 = 64
      m + m + m – 2 + 3 = 64
      3m + 1 = 64
      The correct answer is A (3m + 1 ) = 64
7. What is the simplified form of 5x + (8x – 2y)
   1. 37x – 8y
   2. 7x –
   3. 28x – 2y
   4. 7x – 2y
      Working
      5x + ¼(8x – 2y ) open brackets
      5x + 2x – ½y simplify
      = 7x – ½y
      The correct answer is B (7x – ½y)
