22. A set of scales does not always show the correct mass.

If something is less than 1000g they show the exact mass.


When something weighs 1000g or more, they show some mass over 1000g. You have 5 balls with the masses A g, B
g, C g, D g and E g each less than 1000g. When you weigh these in pairs the scales show the following: B D
1200, C E 2100, B E 800, B C 900, A E 700. Which ball is the heaviest?
(A) A (B) B (C) C (D) D (E) E

23.The quadrilateral ABCD has right angles only in corners A and D. The numbers in
