NSMQ 2023 Contest 8 Maths: Best Questions Review
What’s On This Page
Introduction
It is time for another session of the NSMQ Questions Review series (Maths edition). For this episode, my focus is the NSMQ 2023 Contest 8. Like we always we do, I will lead us through the contest and tackle the math questions one round after the other – from round one (nsmq fundamentals), nsmq speed race, nsmq problem of the day if available and nsmq True or False. If this is your first time on the series, I’ll entreat you to check previous sessions out NSMQ Past Questions and Answers. Thank you.
From our last episode, I hinted that this review will be on the same question sets as the last one because the exact questions were asked on the quiz show.

NSMQ 2023 Contest 8
This was a one-eighth battle between Adventist SHS-Bantama, Anglican SHS-Kumasi and St. Charles Minor Sem.. The quest here is to take a look at the Maths/Mathematics questions that were asked. My focus will be on accuracy – how you can answer the questions right. I will dissect them in order of rounds: round one (nsmq fundamentals), nsmq speed race, nsmq problem of the day and nsmq True or False.
You can watch the particular contest NSMQ 2023 Contest 8 to see how the atmosphere, performance and reactions went.
Round One (NSMQ Fundamentals)
Set 1 – School A
Answer
12Explanation
Set 1 – School B
Answer
27
Explanation
Set 1 – School C
Answer
75
Explanation
Set 2 – School A
Answer
Explanation
Now, we can deal with the equation aspect.
Set 2 – School B
Answer
Explanation
Using the same framework as we did for previous question, let’s find our answer.
Set 2 – School C
Answer
Explanation
Using the same framework as the previous two questions, this is how we deal with it.
Round Two (NSMQ Speed Race)
Set 1 – First Question
Answer
Explanation
Set 1 – Second Question
Answer
Explanation
Set 1 – Third Question
Answer
Explanation
Round Three (NSMQ Problem Of The Day)
Question
Unfortunately, it was not a Math problem.
Round Four (NSMQ True or False)
Set 1 – School A
Answer
True
Explanation
Set 1 – School B
Answer
False
Explanation
Set 1 – School C
Answer
False
Explanation
Set 2 – School A
Answer
True
Explanation
Impulse is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude and direction. The magnitude is the product of the force and the time interval over which it acts. The direction of the impulse is the same as the direction of the force applied.
Set 2 – School B
Answer
False
Explanation
Angular speed is not a vector quantity, but rather a scalar one. It measures the speed at which a body moves around a circular path, but it doesn’t necessarily take into action the direction the body moves.
Set 2 – School C
Answer
False
Explanation
As tricky as it might sound, true bearing is typically a scalar quantity as it is always denoted relative to the reference (North). It provides information about the direction from one point to another relative to the reference North. Bearings are appropriately expressed as a scalar value without a vector direction.
Conclusion
I am glad to announce we have completed the session. This was our eighth one, 32 more to go. Congrats on enduring to the end of this episode and I hope our Maths perspective is getting better than ever. The journey is long, but we will get there step by step.
I’ll be back with another episode and it will be on the NSMQ 2023 Contest 9. Until then, stay safe, stay sharp and stay practicing.
