### Simplified Answers: 1. **Problem 8**: The last number in Row 20 is **210**. 2. **Problem 9**: Sam originally had **R75**. 3. **Problem 10**: The middle number is **49**. 4. **Problem 11**: B gets **R0**. 5. **Problem 12**: The number just before 203 that is divisible by 11 is **143**. 6. **Problem 13**: 24 different sub-committees can be formed. 7. **Problem 14**: \( P \) has **12** trailing zeros. 8. **Problem 15**: Angle \( \mathrm{BAD} = 85^\circ \). **Note**: For Problem 15, the angle \( \mathrm{BAD} \) is **85°**.

Solución

Let's solve each problem step by step. ### Problem 8 We need to find the last number in Row 20. The pattern of the rows is as follows: - Row 1: 1 number (1) - Row 2: 2 numbers (2, 3) - Row 3: 3 numbers (4, 5, 6) - Row 4: 4 numbers (7, 8, 9, 10) The number of elements in each row corresponds to the row number. Therefore, the total number of elements up to Row \( n \) is given by the formula for the sum of the first \( n \) natural numbers: \[ S_n = \frac{n(n + 1)}{2} \] For Row 20, we calculate: \[ S_{20} = \frac{20(20 + 1)}{2} = \frac{20 \times 21}{2} = 210 \] Thus, the last number in Row 20 is **210**. ### Problem 9 Let \( S \) be the amount of money Sam originally had, and \( M \) be the amount Mpho originally had. We know: 1. \( S + M = 150 \) 2. After Sam gives R25 to Mpho, Mpho has twice as much as Sam: \[ M + 25 = 2(S - 25) \] Now we can solve these equations step by step. From the first equation, we can express \( M \): \[ M = 150 - S \] Substituting \( M \) into the second equation: \[ (150 - S) + 25 = 2(S - 25) \] Simplifying this: \[ 175 - S = 2S - 50 \] Combining like terms: \[ 175 + 50 = 2S + S \] \[ 225 = 3S \] \[ S = 75 \] Thus, Sam originally had **R75**. ### Problem 10 Let the five consecutive odd numbers be represented as: \[ x - 4, x - 2, x, x + 2, x + 4 \] The sum of these numbers is: \[ (x - 4) + (x - 2) + x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 5x \] We know this sum equals 245: \[ 5x = 245 \] \[ x = 49 \] Thus, the middle number is **49**. ### Problem 11 C has no cupcakes, so they share the 8 cupcakes equally. Each friend gets: \[ \frac{8}{3} \text{ cupcakes} \] B originally had 3 cupcakes, so the amount B contributed is: \[ \frac{8}{3} - 3 = \frac{8 - 9}{3} = -\frac{1}{3} \text{ (not possible)} \] Thus, B does not get any money from C. Therefore, B gets **R0**. ### Problem 12 The sequence is an arithmetic sequence where: \[ T_n = 3 + (n - 1) \cdot 4 = 4n - 1 \] To find the largest \( n \) such that \( T_n < 203 \): \[ 4n - 1 < 203 \implies 4n < 204 \implies n < 51 \] The last term before 203 is \( T_{50} \): \[ T_{50} = 4 \cdot 50 - 1 = 199 \] Now we check if 199 is divisible by 11: \[ 199 \div 11 \approx 18.09 \text{ (not divisible)} \] The next term is \( T_{49} \): \[ T_{49} = 4 \cdot 49 - 1 = 195 \] Checking divisibility: \[ 195 \div 11 \approx 17.73 \text{ (not divisible)} \] Continuing this way, we find \( T_{48} \): \[ T_{48} = 4 \cdot 48 - 1 = 191 \] Continuing until we find \( T_{44} \): \[ T_{44} = 4 \cdot 44 - 1 = 175 \] Finally, we find \( T_{43} \): \[ T_{43} = 4 \cdot 43 - 1 = 171 \] Checking divisibility: \[ 171 \div 11 = 15.545 \text{ (not divisible)} \] Continuing this way, we find \( T_{40} \): \[ T_{40} = 4 \cdot 40 - 1 = 159 \] Continuing until we find \( T_{39} \): \[ T_{39} = 4 \cdot 39 - 1 = 155 \] Continuing until we find \( T_{36} \): \[ T_{36} = 4 \cdot 36 - 1 = 143 \] Checking divisibility: \[ 143 \div 11 = 13 \text{ (divisible)} \] Thus, the number just before 203 that is divisible by 11 is **143**. ### Problem 13 To form a sub-committee of 2 females and 1 male from 4 males and 4 females, we calculate: \[ \text{Ways to choose 2 females} = \binom{4}{2} = 6 \] \[ \text{Ways to choose 1 male} = \binom{4}{1} = 4 \] Total combinations: \[ 6 \times 4 = 24 \] Thus, the number of different sub-committees that can be formed is **24**. ### Problem 14 To find the number of trailing zeros in \( P = 50! \), we use the formula: \[ \text{Number of trailing zeros} = \left\lfloor \frac{n}{5} \right\rfloor + \left\lfloor \frac{n}{25} \right\rfloor \] Calculating for \( n = 50 \): \[ \left\lfloor \frac{50}{5} \right\rfloor + \left\lfloor \frac{50}{25} \right\rfloor = 10 + 2 = 12 \] Thus, \( P \) has **12** trailing zeros. ### Problem 15 In quadrilateral \( ABCD \): - \( AB = AC \) (isosceles triangle) - \( AD = CD \) (isosceles triangle) - \( \angle ABC = 75^\circ \) - \( \angle ADC = 50^\

Beyond the Answer

The arrangement of numbers in rows actually follows a triangular number pattern, where the nth row contains n numbers. For example, Row 1 has 1 number (1), Row 2 has 2 numbers (2, 3), Row 3 has 3 numbers (4, 5, 6), and so on. Continuing this logic, the last number in Row 20 can be calculated as the sum of the first 20 natural numbers, which gives us 210. Let’s talk about the creative approach of using money in problem-solving! When Sam gives R25 to Mpho and it results in Mpho having twice as much money, we can set up an equation. If Sam initially had \( S \) and Mpho \( M \), after the exchange we find that \( M + 25 = 2(S - 25) \). Solving this little puzzle will lead you to discover how much Sam originally had!
