8. .081 ×.484 / .0064 ×6.25 is equal to
  A.  0.9
  B.  0.99
  C.  9

Solution
Sum of decimal places in the numberator and denominator under the radical sign being the same, we remove the decimal.
Given exp.= 81 ×484 / 64 ×625
= 9 × 22 / 8 ×25
= 0.99.
9. If a = 0.1039, then the value of 4a2 - 4a + 1 + 3a is
  A.  0.1039
  B.  0.2078
  C.  1.1039
  D.  2.1039
Solution
4a2 - 4a + 1 + 3a = (1)2 + (2a)2 - 2 ×1 ×2a + 3a
‹=›(1 - 2a)2 + 3a
‹=› (1 - 2a) + 3a
‹=› (1 + a)
‹=› (1 + 0.1039)
= 1.1039.
