Solution: Agnes is 10, so Lisa is 40. Agnes will be twice as old in 10 years. Then, Lisa will be
40+10=50 years old.
Answer: B
20. Three diagonals are constructed on three adjacent faces of a cube, as shown on the figure.
Which of the following nets is that of the given cube?
A)
B)
C)
D)
E) None of the above
Solution: From the picture of the cube, it is clear that the three diagonals form a triangle, that is,
every two of them share a vertex. So, the nets in B and C should be excluded. Imagine the nets
in A and D folded into a cube. The rightmost upper vertex must meet the leftmost upper vertex.
In D, this will be the common vertex of the two diagonals along the 4-squared piece of the net.
In A, these diagonals will not share a vertex.
Answer: D.
21. Four paper ribbons of uniform width of 10 cm have been
arranged to form figure A (see the diagram). Each of the
ribbons is 25 cm longer than the previous one. The same
ribbons have been rearranged to form figure B. What is the
difference between the perimeters of figure A and figure B?
A) 0 cm
B) 20 cm
C) 40 cm
D) 50 cm
E) 25 cm
Solution: The perimeter of the original figure A is equal to the
perimeter of the rectangle outscribed around it (as seen on the first
figure on the left). To see this, just imagine where on the outer
perimeter the segments from the inside of the rectangle will be
projected if we decide to “unfold” the figure.
For the figure B, a similar reasoning will show that the perimeter
of the original (grey) figure (except the two segments in dashed
lines) will be projected on the outer perimeter, thus, it will be equal to the perimeter of the
figure A, plus the two extra segments, the ones in dashed lines. Their length is 25 cm each.
Therefore, the difference between the perimeters of A and B is 50 cm.
Answer: D
22. Anna wrote a 2-digit number. Ben created a 4-digit number by coping Anna's number twice.

A) 100

C) 1000
D) 1001
