U̶̲̥̅̊ got only 1 correctly I tink, pls don't just pick n option, apply d rules, english is just like marhs, it has rules, and U̶̲̥̅̊ must follow d rules..I will xplain each od d rules/topic dat govern d questions lata 2day, dependin on my time sha oo

Lurve: no p,in a pq i saw more grease to your elbow,in another i saw that more power to your elbow was the correct thing,which is it?

more grease is totaly wrong, U̶̲̥̅̊ can either use more power to ur elbow or U̶̲̥̅̊ use more strenght to ur elbow..both 'power' n 'strenght' are correct perfectly

oladoya: A

A is wrong, B is d correct answer, plural verb/singular verb....and only B obey such law

Lurve: thanks and i'm a girl

ok and sorry for d tag 'guy' i use for U̶̲̥̅̊ b4

Mr Calculus: Plz tel us d names of textbooks we can refer to in other 2 learn concord,lexis and structure and b gud at it@donmayor

A-Z of jamb use of english and invisible teacher both by dele ashade and fundamental formular of english language by Barr Oscar, U̶̲̥̅̊ guys should try as much as possible to practice read(practice) dis 3 textbooks above plus solve all ur past question from 1978 til 2013, I bet you, with dis all d questions U̶̲̥̅̊ will see in ur exam wil b wot I call look and shade, i.e U̶̲̥̅̊ don't need 2 tink twice b4 pickin option bcoz dey will already b a knw(I mean well knw) questions 2 U̶̲̥̅̊....all sch in 9ja make use of past questions in putme(@least 80% of d questions are 4rm jamb past qusetion) I knw wot I'm sayin as I'm use 2 all d past questions in english, maths n phy, and all d past question U̶̲̥̅̊ guys hav b postin here, are all 4rm past question of jamb...read hard, U̶̲̥̅̊ will laugh @ d end..I bet U̶̲̥̅̊ ol with dat statement

[quote author=@farano]Wat of nce into faculty of edu?[/quote]same rules apply as ND

Lurve: @ donmayor can you pleeeeaassssseeee briefly explain the rules of concord?

morning bro, lemme just tell U̶̲̥̅̊ d basic tin under lexiz and structure, lexis are d nearest/opposite in meaning questions, while structure is how english is being constructed, and evrytin under structure come under structure, wich mean d agreement betwen a subject and a verb, or betwen a verb and other elements of clause structure...d rules of concord are like 17, depending on d textbook U̶̲̥̅̊ using anyway, some can merge 2rules 2 b 1..so I can't realy stick on d 17 rules, some of d rules are (1)subject/verb concord-it state dat singular subject attract singular verb, same 2 plural subject attract plural verb, e.g she cries evry mornin...U̶̲̥̅̊ can see dat singular subject(she) attract singular verb(cries) not cry, but in a case of ...they cry evry mornin...plural subject(they) attract plural verb(cry)...(2)anoda rule of concord I'd d principle of proximity, wich means nearness. Questions like dis will b base of multiple subject questions, and on most cases U̶̲̥̅̊ always see d word either or/neither nor....weneva U̶̲̥̅̊ see a question with those 2 words, U̶̲̥̅̊ see multiple subject, but go with d subject dat is nearness 2 d gap....e.g either john or you ......to go, (A)is,(B)are,(C)was, (D)them...U̶̲̥̅̊ can analiz d question to b sometin like dis, U̶̲̥̅̊ can see dat we hav 2 subject in d question, 'john and you', but john is d subject dat is coser(nearness) to d gap, so dat is wot U̶̲̥̅̊ take as d main subject, so lest go...(A)you is to go, (B)you are to go, (C)you was to go, (D) you them to go..clearly d answer is B-you are to go...anoda example from ume question is dis...either the chief of d village or the leader of the farmers .....to be held responsible for the revolt...(A)were, (B)are, (C)is (D)have, let's annaliz d question, U̶̲̥̅̊ can see dat d LEADER(1person wich is d subject, singular attract singular) of d farmers, so from d option, wich is singular, ofcourse only 'IS' U̶̲̥̅̊ need not read d questionn twice, oda option are attract plural verb so dey are all wrong cxept optin (c)is wich is d only singular...note dat from d 1st example, YOU attract ARE bcox 'YOU' and 'I' are d 2 subject that always attract plural verb, will xplain dat lata...neither nor also function as either or, so I will assume U̶̲̥̅̊ apply d same techniques to both, d nxt concord rule is accompany concord, no time to type dat 1, coz is much, but refer to ur textbooks 4 all d rules...Success as normal

[quote author=@farano]Do u no if dea will b any form of test for DE aspirants?[/quote]I don't tink so bro, unilag only accept dinstiction, and how many people dey fit get dinstiction from good poly like yabatech or sch like nekede, provided U̶̲̥̅̊ got dinstiction in ur ND, U̶̲̥̅̊ have like 70% of admission into unilag already, base on my observation oº°˚ ˚°º ....mornin U̶̲̥̅̊ ol

emekakelvin: Yap INTEGRATED MATHS IS GOOD,but, oga Don mayor i already knew u are nt in our class, starting from d day u help me solve d problem on permutation and combination

Concerning ur personality i would deduce dat u are a academic staff in either Unilag or Lasu, cos that ur friend mr afolabi finish from lasu, and here u are helping peeps with tangible information concerning unilag's admission

not talkin on dis sha

jaryeh: hello fellow aspirants,to get prepared for this post ume exam,i will suggest you get these books:

Lamlad's ssce and utme mathematics

The new student's companion for secondary school.

A current affairs latest publication from newspaper vendors.

May God help us all,shout out to my fellow engineering aspirants.

U̶̲̥̅̊ guys should include integrated mathematics bu my good friend Afolabi, A-Z jamb use of english,n and fundamental formular of english

[quote author=@farano]thanx 4 ur explanation but please o are u a lecturer or a proff or a tutor or all of d above?[/quote]hmmmmmm...lecturer, prof, tutor...na wa ooo...all dat 4 1 person, well I can't realy review my identity now! But I will only tell U̶̲̥̅̊ dat I may b 1 of dem, and wil also tell you dat english has nva b my subject, my area of specialization is phy xpecialy plus maths

labodinho: @Don Mayor,plz explain dah has n have in relation to come and comes.Plz,itz mixed up on d oda syd der.Tanx

note that verb are like opposite of noun, U̶̲̥̅̊ knw that singular now are words without 's' @ d frnt, while plural noun are with 's' in front of it...but in a case of verb, singular verb are words with 's' @ d front (e.g want, meets and d rest) while plural verb are words without 's' @ d front (e.g want, meet etc)....in a case of has, have and had, just note d basic tin I wil tell U̶̲̥̅̊ abt dis 3words now, (1)has is singular, have is plural and had is d past tence of both has and have, (2)has and have can only b found in one clause, while had is always use 2 join 2 clase...e.g ume question, we got to d hall after the play......(A)is started, (B)was started, (C)had started, (D) has started.....U̶̲̥̅̊ can see dat from the question, we have the caluse, clase 1-we got to the hall after, clause 2-the play .....since it is 2 clause, join it with had, therefore the answer is obviously (C)had started.....note dat weneva U̶̲̥̅̊ see words like after, before, no sooner, hardly, when, without anytinkin, just go for had...can't write much here but I wil advise you look for a good textbook so read more abt the use of has, have and had...takia bro

rashywire: everybody in Nigeria ..... to be rich by hook or by cook (a) want (b) wants (c) is wanting (d) are wanting

...everybody, everyone,anyone,anybody,and all other relative pronoun attract singular verb, therefore option B-wants is d correct answer

rashywire: one of the boys who ......... to our house ......... died (a) comes/has (b) comes/have (c) come/have (d) come/has

a question like dis are well recast to b, the boys who come to our house(boys attract plural verb 'come')....one of dem has died(one attract singular verb 'has')....note dat any question of such will attract plural verb @ d 1st line, while singular verb @ d 2nd line, and from d option, only option D-come/has obey dat rule....check last year ume, 1978 and 1988 ( can't remember d year,) for a similar question

buzyguy: 1)I am confident.....myself. A.of b.at c.on d.in
2)he was sent....exile. A.on b.to c.into d.onto
3)The matter is btwn you and..... A.mine b.me c.I d.myself

just to xplain d 3rd question, since d missing word is @ compliment, we use objective case, unlike wen it comes under subject that we wil b bound 2 use subjective case. The topic is from case, and d question can b analiz as (a)the matter is betwen I and you, or (b)the matter is betwen me and you, or (c)the matter is betwen mine and you, or (d)the matter is betwen myself and you....look @ d 4 possible way d question can b recast and pick up ur answer...ofcourse without any tinkin d answer is B-me

Mr Calculus: It is high time we___.
(A)Go
(B)went
(C)ought to go
(D)gone

went.....note dat time concord always attract past tence

labodinho: @ Don mayor,U've viewed frm d wise part and all wat u've jst said is wah i've tut bout too.Concerning the phy,chem n bio,itz jst cos i ve sumtin doin on dem too,op u get dah,buh jst to giv a taste out to he dah want so i gave out dah.I'm not here to critisize anyone neither did i come here to be a talkative.Everyone knws wat befit him/her,bring math, Eng or G.P here all is answered buh due to d fact dat dislike maths naturally(Not reffering to anyone here) datz y afta maths qstn,i do say bring yur English qustnz too.......If this our discussion is affecting anyone Negatively plz notify d person n i'm sure tinz will surely be put in place...........@ all,Maths ,English and General paper @ same proportions is allowed.No more No less.Tanx.

I don't realy tink any1 here dislike maths, if U̶̲̥̅̊ don't knw, my nly problem is just time..if not I hav nva see any strange question among all d maths questions U̶̲̥̅̊ guys have b postin, my favourite subjects are phy, maths(up to d standard of subject like ODE 2nd orde and even Itration) chem,and den english. I knw some of U̶̲̥̅̊ here are writtin oda sch putme dat U̶̲̥̅̊ also preparin 4 oda subject other dan d eng,maths n GP dat unilag always set, but I'm vry sure dat oda sch also hav group ₩ђЄƦЄ U̶̲̥̅̊ can prepare with U̶̲̥̅̊ co-aspirant there...lemme stress d basic purpose of dis unilag page, first U̶̲̥̅̊ must knw dat no one hav d resent unilag putme questions(i.e since dey started doin CBT), so d basic purpose of dis place is 4 U̶̲̥̅̊ guys 2 get 2 knw how d questions usualy look like(i.e 4rm those who hav writin d exam b4,like d girl dat post d GP questions), secondly 2 get 2 knw any information concernin d putme as information is power as we all knw...pls U̶̲̥̅̊ guys should continue with d maths stuff, but don't do it 2 impress any 1, normal jamb sylabus is ok, unilag putme questions can nva b harder dan dat of jamb itself..Success my bro

It is obvious dat some of U̶̲̥̅̊ here don't realy knw how to prepare 4 exam, as far I'm concern putme questions in unilag are vry easy, xcept mayb d GP dat U̶̲̥̅̊ hav 2 pray 4 God favour so U̶̲̥̅̊ can see wot U̶̲̥̅̊ knw, d putme comprises maths,eng n GP, I'm surprise some of U̶̲̥̅̊ hav started talkin abt bio, phy n chem, wen U̶̲̥̅̊ and I knw dat U̶̲̥̅̊ wil nva see a single question 4rm those subject..4rm observation, last year maths comprises topic 4rm algebra(factorisation, quadratic,simoltaneous n linear equation, sum n product of root, real n equal root, indices,log n surd etc) and logitude and latitude, no sch wil eva give U̶̲̥̅̊ questions dat are abstract like wot some of U̶̲̥̅̊ are posting here, I bet U̶̲̥̅̊, some people are so brilliant, just viewing d topic, but dey wil nva post. Not dat dey don't want to, but bcoz dey felt d discussion here does not realy concern wot dey wil see in exam..y reading unnecessary tin now,n wen U̶̲̥̅̊ knw dat U̶̲̥̅̊ wil not b tested on those tinz, try as much as possible to read more of english,n coz within 10 second or less U̶̲̥̅̊ can answer a question in english correctly, but U̶̲̥̅̊ knw maths U̶̲̥̅̊ hav 2 reason b4 solving. D person dat post d GP question has done d perfect tin U̶̲̥̅̊ guys need in dis group, 4get any hard maths now,just focus on d basic tin, get d required textbooks and solve all d questions in it...my advice 4 U̶̲̥̅̊ all here is dat read wisely and God wil grant U̶̲̥̅̊ Success...don't mind my construction of english(xpecialy spellin coz I knw some wil try annnd point out fault) takia

Taylor184: ;Dabeg,u guys shuld go and teach urselves on 2go...cos me no even undastand all dz tinz dz my oga wrote down

funny

BRAINEE123: Abeg! If you sabi integral calculus.Especially, that part way dem dey use pie. add me on 2go with branian

my broda if U̶̲̥̅̊ talkin abt pie in calculus, dat means is all abt integral of trig under bounded area, wot you just need 2 knw there is dat pie have a value of 180degree in trig, so if U̶̲̥̅̊ have pie/2, it means 180/2 wich gives 90degree, pie/4 means 180/4 wich gives 45degree...note afta d normal integra, jst substitute d value of d upper bounded area minus d value of d lower bounded area into d value of wot U̶̲̥̅̊ integrat with respect to...success...use integrated mathematics by my good friend Afolabi and lamland maths for more reference

Odunhana: If at all i don't mathematics... I know all the rules in calculus... Is ur username brainian or branian? You can add odunhanna25 either.

all d rules in calculus, hmmm...so how many of d rules do U̶̲̥̅̊ knw in ODE(both 1st n 2nd order?

I Am Bhijay: hey guys, is d change of institution form still available?

Yes, the sales has been extended to friday 7th june 2013 while Change of Course/Institution ends on Saturday, June 8......

Ortarico: Good one bro, but I think question one answer hasn't been arrived. Cause 800 is the number of ways of selecting 3 colours each from the bulbs.
:. Selecting 9 bulbs from the total of bulbs should be 15C9 + 800

=> 15!/(15-9)!9! + 800
=> 5005 + 800
=> 5,805

NOT READY 4 ANY ARGUMENT, BUT IF U UNDERSTAND D QUESTION WELL, U WILL OBSERVE DAT D QUESTION DEMAND DAT U SELECT 9 COLOURS OF WHICH 3 COLOURS EACH MUST B INCLUDED FROM D AVAILABLE COLOURS....SO IF 5805 IS WOT U THINK IS D ANSWER.FINE

u welcum

emekakelvin: thanks u are truly D DON,...i appreciate
I must confess u made dis topic simple 4 me

dats cool, wots ur ume score?

Salzyswaag: i'm opting 4 chemical engineering ooo

Salzyswaag: Where r d engineering aspirants on dis thread!!!*wondering*

u going 4 engine? which of dem?

if u realy wanmt 2 knw abt permutation and combination, try and practice set theory and probability first, not dat u can knw permution and combination without set thoery and probability, but knwin those topic first will increase ur understanding in permution and combination. so d solution to ur questions now...

emekakelvin: Sorry house my kwestions would be on combination
1)IN HOW MANY WAYs can 9 bulbs be selected from 4red,5 green and 6yellow bulbs if 3 of each colour are to be included


2)IN how manys can a committee of 3 men and 4 women be selected from a group of 7 men and 9 women

pls solve correctly for d poster of questions dont know d answers

note dat permutation simply means arrangement of number/things or if u see anytin dat is synonymous to arrangement in the question, while combination means selection, chosen, picking of number/things or any word that is synonymous to selection, chosen, picking.
so the number 1 question solution is (4C3 and 5C3 and 6C3), which will give (4!/1! 3! and 5!/2! 3! and 6!/3! 3!)
=(4x3!/1x3! and 5x4x3!/2x1x3! and 6x5x4x3!/3x2x1x3!)
after all division it wil remain (4 and 10 and 20)......note that 'and' means multiplication in probability(that's y is necessary to know probability also.
therefore (4 and 10 and 20) becomes (4x10x20) which gives 800ways......

QUESTION 2 SOLUTION.
There is no condition in the question, that makes it very easy, the question simply means that will should form a committee of 3 men and 4 women(7-people) from a group of 7-men and 9-women.......easy i guess
lets kick off..
.......7C3....for men and 9C4.....for women
= 7C3 and 9C4
= (7!/4! 3!) and (9!/5! 4!)
= (7x6x5x4!/3x2x1x4!) and 9x8x7x6x5!/4x3x2x1x5!)....after d normal division, it gives
= (35 and 126)..........remember that 'and' means multiplication
= 35 x 126 =4410 ways...........
