Alex Burns, the chief executive of the Formula 1 (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/motorsport/formulaone/) company, which is racing in the Indian Grand Prix (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/motorsport/formulaone/9637654/Indian-Grand-Prix-2012-Sebastian-Vettel-powers-to-pole-position-in-New-Delhi-as-Red-Bull-lock-out-front-row-again.html), said he was alarmed and surprised that most 16 to 18 year-olds keen to work for the company could not do basic maths sums (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/maths-reform/) and had failed to reach a 50pc score on a range of practical tests.
This is the maths test is
1. 44 + 12 + 35 = ?
2. 735 - 576 = ?
3. 7523 x 8 = ?
4. 7713 / 9 = ?
5. 2 + 3 = ?
6. Write 0.3 as a fraction
7. The square of 7 is = ?
8. The cube of 2 is = ?
9. What is 11pc of 250 = ?
10. Increase 64 by 12.5pc = ?
11. Find the value of x2 + 2xy + y2 where x = 6 and y = -3
12. 5/16 / 1/8 = ?
13. If log 3 = 0.4771 and log 4 = 0.6020, log 40 = ?
14. If log 3 = 0.4771 and log 4 = 0.6020, log 0.12 = ?
15. The cube root of 27 is = ?
