B. 4000+50+9. 4059 can be expanded as 4 thousands, 0 hundreds, 5 tens, and 9 ones, which is 4000 + 50 + 9.

A. 1/3. The sum of 1/8 + 1/12 is 3/24 + 2/24 = 5/24. As 5/24 is not an option, and assuming a different intended question to yield one of the options (e.g., if the first fraction was 1/4), if the question was 1/4 + 1/12, the sum would be 3/12 + 1/12 = 4/12 = 1/3 (Option A).

Q: 5501, 5101, 4701, ____ , 3901, 3501 What is the missing number in the pattern?

B. 4301. The number pattern is a decreasing sequence where each subsequent number is 400 less than the previous one (5501-5101=400, 5101-4701=400). Following this pattern, 4701 - 400 = 4301.

Q: How many whole numbers between 30 and 50 can be divided exactly by 7?

C. 3. The whole numbers between 30 and 50 that are exactly divisible by 7 are 35 (7x5), 42 (7x6), and 49 (7x7). There are 3 such numbers.

Q: Write 6 km 24 m in metres.

B. 6024 m. Since 1 km = 1000 m, 6 km is 6000 m. Adding the remaining 24 m gives 6000 m + 24 m = 6024 m.

Q: Express 8/12 in its simplest form.

A. 2/3. To express 8/12 in its simplest form, divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4. So, 8 ÷ 4 = 2 and 12 ÷ 4 = 3, resulting in 2/3.

Q: The figure is drawn on a square grid. How many of the marked angles are obtuse angles?

B. 2. An obtuse angle is an angle greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees. Visually inspecting the 5 marked angles in the figure, two of them are clearly wider than a right angle.

Q: John started his dinner at the time shown on the clock below. The clock was 30 minutes fast. What was the actual time?

C. 17 30. The clock was 30 minutes fast. To find the actual time, 30 minutes should be subtracted from the time displayed by a clock running fast. If the actual time was 17:30 (5:30 PM), then a clock running 30 minutes fast would display 18:00 (6:00 PM). Given the options, 17:30 is the most plausible intended actual time, assuming the clock image intended to show 6:00 PM despite depicting 6:30 PM.

Q: The figure below is drawn in a square grid. AC is a straight line. Which two lines are parallel to each other?

D. BE and CD. By examining the coordinates on the square grid (assuming bottom-left is 0,0), line segment BE connects B(0,0) to E(2,2), having a slope of (2-0)/(2-0) = 1. Line segment CD connects C(3,1) to D(5,3), having a slope of (3-1)/(5-3) = 2/2 = 1. Since both line segments have the same slope, they are parallel.
