1Set U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10} is a universal set. Set A = {2, 4, 6, 8} and set B = {3, 6, 9}. Which elements are in A ∩ B?
A.{6}
B.{2, 4, 6, 8, 3, 9}
C.{2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9}
D.{1, 5, 7, 10}
Explanation: A ∩ B is the intersection: elements in both A and B. Only 6 is in both, so A ∩ B = {6}.
2Universal set U = {a, b, c, d, e, f}. Set P = {a, c, e} and set Q = {b, c, d}. How many elements are in P ∪ Q?
A.3
B.4
C.5
D.6
Explanation: P ∪ Q = {a, b, c, d, e}: five distinct elements. Element f is in U but not in P ∪ Q.
3In a class of 40 learners, 25 study Sesotho (set S), 22 study English (set E), and 12 study both. How many study only Sesotho?
A.12
B.13
C.22
D.25
Explanation: Only Sesotho = |S| − |S ∩ E| = 25 − 12 = 13.
4Universal set U has 50 elements. Set A has 28 elements, set B has 20 elements, and |A ∩ B| = 8. How many elements of U are in neither A nor B?
A.6
B.10
C.18
D.40
Explanation: |A ∪ B| = 28 + 20 − 8 = 40. Neither = 50 − 40 = 10.
5In the number 3 852 761 409, what is the place value of the digit 5?
A.5 million
B.50 million
C.500 million
D.5 billion
Explanation: The places are: 3 billions, 8 hundred millions, 5 ten millions, … Place value of 5 = 5 × 10 000 000 = 50 million.
6What is 2 040 000 700 written in expanded form?
A.2×1 000 000 000 + 4×10 000 000 + 7×100
B.2×1 000 000 000 + 4×1 000 000 + 7×100
C.2×100 000 000 + 4×10 000 000 + 7×100
D.2×1 000 000 000 + 4×10 000 000 + 7×10
Explanation: 2 040 000 700 = 2 billion + 40 million + 700 = 2×1 000 000 000 + 4×10 000 000 + 7×100.
7Which statement is true about 1 099 999 999 and 1 100 000 000 − 1?
A.1 099 999 999 is greater
B.They are equal
C.1 100 000 000 − 1 is greater
D.They cannot be compared
Explanation: 1 100 000 000 − 1 = 1 099 999 999, so the two expressions are equal.
8Share M 360 in the ratio 2 : 3 between Thabo and Lineo. How much does Lineo receive?
A.M 120
B.M 144
C.M 216
D.M 240
Explanation: Parts = 2 + 3 = 5. One part = 360 ÷ 5 = M 72. Lineo (3 parts) = 3 × 72 = M 216.
9M 480 is shared between Palesa and Kabelo in the ratio 5 : 7. How much more does Kabelo get than Palesa?
A.M 40
B.M 80
C.M 200
D.M 280
Explanation: Parts = 12. One part = 480 ÷ 12 = M 40. Difference = 2 parts = M 80 (Kabelo 280 − Palesa 200).
10Neo and Mpho share money in the ratio 4 : 5. If Neo receives M 320, what is the total amount shared?
A.M 400
B.M 640
C.M 720
D.M 1 600
Explanation: Neo’s 4 parts = M 320, so 1 part = 80. Total 9 parts = 9 × 80 = M 720.

Grade 7 Mathematics Study Tips from Top Performers

1Show full working for multi-step profit/loss, surface area and volume items—method marks matter on written papers.
2Practise nets of cubes, cuboids, triangular prisms and pyramids until you can match net to solid quickly.
3Drill fraction and decimal division without a calculator where the official paper expects mental/written methods.
4Use Lesotho maloti (M) consistently in financial problems and check percentage formulas (profit ÷ cost × 100).
5For probability, list sample spaces carefully before calculating fractions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Grade 7 Mathematics in Lesotho?

It is the compulsory ECoL Grade 7 End-of-Level Mathematics assessment for primary leavers. Scope comes from the NCDC Integrated Primary Curriculum Grade 7 Numerical and Mathematical learning area. It is not LGCSE Mathematics 0178.

How long is the official paper?

The 2025 final timetable lists Mathematics code 3012 for 1 hour 30 minutes (09:00–10:30 on 28 October 2025). Always confirm the live timetable for the sitting year.

Is there a percentage pass mark?

No. ECoL reports Advanced, Proficient, Basic and Below Basic achievement levels. Top Ten ranking uses average percentage of five subjects including Mathematics, but that is a ranking rule, not a pass mark.

Are these official exam questions?

No. Official assessment is a written paper, not multiple-choice. These MCQs are study adaptations with genuine calculation items aligned to NCDC Grade 7 outcomes.
