machineries of an oil mill failed to finish the work on time. As provided for in the
contract, he has to pay a daily penalty equivalent to one-fourth of one percent of the
contract price for the first ten days of the delay, one-half percent per day for the
next ten days and one percent per day for every day thereafter. If the total penalty
paid was P60,750.00, how many days was the completion of the contract delayed?
CO1 2. Prior to the last IBP elections, a survey was conducted in a certain barangay in

inscribed in a circle?

CO1 4. The electric power which a transmission line can transmit is proportional to the
product of its design voltage and current capacity, and inversely to the transmission
distance. A 115 - kilovolt line rated at 100 amperes can transmit 150 megawatts
over 150 km. How much power, in megawatts can a 230 kilovolt line rated at 150
amperes transmit over 50 km?

CO4 7. Find the eccentricity of the curve 9x2 -16y2 -144 = 0
CO2 8. The ratio of the volume of the two spheres is 27:343 and the sum of their radii is 10.

degrees and 6 minutes.
CO1 10. In a commercial survey involving 1000 persons on brand preferences, 120 were
