MCQ 1: If four times of certain number 'a' is ten more than thrice the number then the equation derived for this statement can be written as:

1. 3a = 4a + 10
2. 3a = 4a - 10
3. 4a = 3a - 10
4. 4a = 3a + 10

MCQ 2: The four handbags and three school bags costs $2000 and cost of handbag is thrice as much as schoolbags. If cost of school bag is 'a' then the derived equation will be:

1. 3(4a) - 3a = 2000
2. 3(4a) + 3a = 2000
3. 3(4a) + 3(3a) = 2000
4. 3(4a) - 3(3a) = 2000

MCQ 3: If 'a' denotes the unknown value and is increased by 2, the result will be 12 then the equation for this statement will be:

1. a + 2 = 12
2. 2a = 12
3. a = 12 + 2
4. a - 2 = 12

MCQ 4: If sum of 4 consecutive numbers is 98 then the equation derived for this statement can be written as:

1. a + (a + 1) + (a + 2) + (a + 3) = 98
2. a + 1 + 2 + 3 = 98
3. a + (a + 1) + (a + 2) + (a + 3) = 98a
4. (a)(1)(2)(3) = 98

MCQ 5: If total sum of money to be divided in three siblings Ana, Ben and Mary is $6000, Ana receives two times as much as Ben receives and Mary receives three times as much as Ben. If Ben receives '$y' then the derived equation will be:

1. 2y + y + 3y = 6000
2. 2y - y - 3y = 6000
3. 2 + 3 + 1 = 6000y
4. 2 - 3 - 1 = 6000y
