1992年AJHSME 真题：

Problem 1

$\dfrac{10-9+8-7+6-5+4-3+2-1}{1-2+3-4+5-6+7-8+9}=$

$\text{(A)}\ -1 \qquad \text{(B)}\ 1 \qquad \text{(C)}\ 5 \qquad \text{(D)}\ 9 \qquad \text{(E)}\ 10$

Problem 2

Which of the following is not equal to $\dfrac{5}{4}$ ?

$\text{(A)}\ \dfrac{10}{8} \qquad \text{(B)}\ 1\dfrac{1}{4} \qquad \text{(C)}\ 1\dfrac{3}{12} \qquad \text{(D)}\ 1\dfrac{1}{5} \qquad \text{(E)}\ 1\dfrac{10}{40}$

Problem 3

What is the largest difference that can be formed by subtracting two numbers chosen from the set $\{ -16,-4,0,2,4,12 \}$ ?

$\text{(A)}\ 10 \qquad \text{(B)}\ 12 \qquad \text{(C)}\ 16 \qquad \text{(D)}\ 28 \qquad \text{(E)}\ 48$

Problem 4

During the softball season, Judy had $35$ hits. Among her hits were $1$ home run, $1$ triple and $5$ doubles. The rest of her hits were singles. What percent of her hits were singles?

$\text{(A)}\ 28\% \qquad \text{(B)}\ 35\% \qquad \text{(C)}\ 70\% \qquad \text{(D)}\ 75\% \qquad \text{(E)}\ 80\%$

Problem 5

A circle of diameter $1$ is removed from a $2\times 3$ rectangle, as shown. Which whole number is closest to the area of the shaded region?

$[asy] fill((0,0)--(0,2)--(3,2)--(3,0)--cycle,gray); draw((0,0)--(0,2)--(3,2)--(3,0)--cycle,linewidth(1)); fill(circle((1,5/4),1/2),white); draw(circle((1,5/4),1/2),linewidth(1)); [/asy]$

$\text{(A)}\ 1 \qquad \text{(B)}\ 2 \qquad \text{(C)}\ 3 \qquad \text{(D)}\ 4 \qquad \text{(E)}\ 5$

Problem 6

Suppose that $[asy] unitsize(18); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(1,sqrt(3))--cycle); label("$a$",(1,sqrt(3)-0.2),S); label("$b$",(sqrt(3)/10,0.1),ENE); label("$c$",(2-sqrt(3)/10,0.1),WNW); [/asy]$ means $a+b-c$ . For example, $[asy] unitsize(18); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(1,sqrt(3))--cycle); label("$5$",(1,sqrt(3)-0.2),S); label("$4$",(sqrt(3)/10,0.1),ENE); label("$6$",(2-sqrt(3)/10,0.1),WNW); [/asy]$ is $5+4-6 = 3$ . Then the sum $[asy] unitsize(18); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(1,sqrt(3))--cycle); label("$1$",(1,sqrt(3)-0.2),S); label("$3$",(sqrt(3)/10,0.1),ENE); label("$4$",(2-sqrt(3)/10,0.1),WNW); draw((3,0)--(5,0)--(4,sqrt(3))--cycle); label("$2$",(4,sqrt(3)-0.2),S); label("$5$",(3+sqrt(3)/10,0.1),ENE); label("$6$",(5-sqrt(3)/10,0.1),WNW); label("$+$",(2.5,-0.1),N); [/asy]$ is
