1The arithmetic mean of two positive numbers is 6.5 and their product is 36. What is the larger of the two numbers?
A.9
B.12
C.4
D.8
Explanation: Let the two numbers be a and b. Then a+b = 13 and ab = 36. They satisfy t² − 13t + 36 = 0. Discriminant = 169 − 144 = 25, so t = (13 ± 5)/2. Thus t = 9 or t = 4. The larger number is 9.
2Three numbers form an arithmetic progression with common difference d = 3. If the middle term is 7, what is the product of all three terms?
A.280
B.240
C.210
D.160
Explanation: The three terms of an AP with middle term 7 and common difference 3 are: 7−3=4, 7, and 7+3=10. Their product is 4 × 7 × 10 = 280.
3Find the real number x such that x, 8, and 2x+1 are consecutive terms of an arithmetic progression.
A.5
B.3
C.7
D.−1
Explanation: For three numbers to be consecutive terms of an AP, the middle term equals the average of the first and third: 8 = (x + 2x+1)/2. Multiplying both sides by 2: 16 = 3x+1, so 3x = 15, thus x = 5. Verification: the terms are 5, 8, 11 — equal common difference 3 ✓.
4The first term of a geometric progression is 2 and the common ratio is 3. What is the sum of the first 4 terms?
A.80
B.78
C.82
D.76
Explanation: The sum of the first n terms of a geometric progression is Sₙ = a₁(rⁿ − 1)/(r − 1). With a₁ = 2, r = 3, n = 4: S₄ = 2(3⁴ − 1)/(3 − 1) = 2(81 − 1)/2 = 2 × 80/2 = 80. Alternatively: 2 + 6 + 18 + 54 = 80.
5Solve the equation log₅(x) + log₅(x − 4) = 1 for real x.
A.x = 5
B.x = 4
C.x = 1
D.x = 6
Explanation: Using the logarithm product rule: log₅(x(x−4)) = 1, so x(x−4) = 5. This gives x² − 4x − 5 = 0, which factors as (x−5)(x+1) = 0, so x = 5 or x = −1. Since the arguments of logarithms must be positive (x > 0 and x > 4), we need x > 4. Only x = 5 satisfies this. Verification: log₅(5) + log₅(1) = 1 + 0 = 1 ✓.
6Solve the equation log₅(x²) = log₅(4x + 5) for real x > 0.
A.x = 5
B.x = 1
C.x = −1
D.x = 25
Explanation: Since the logarithm base 5 is one-to-one, log₅(x²) = log₅(4x+5) implies x² = 4x+5. Rearranging: x² − 4x − 5 = 0, which factors as (x−5)(x+1) = 0, giving x = 5 or x = −1. Since x > 0, the only valid solution is x = 5. Verification: log₅(25) = log₅(25) ✓.
7How many 2-digit natural numbers with distinct digits, having an odd tens digit, can be formed using digits from the set A = {1, 3, 5, 7, 8}?
A.16
B.20
C.12
D.18
Explanation: The tens digit must be odd and from A: choices are 1, 3, 5, 7 — that is 4 options. The units digit must differ from the tens digit and be from A: for each tens choice, the remaining 4 elements of A are available. So the count is 4 × 4 = 16.
8In a Cartesian coordinate system, points A(0, 5) and B(3, 4) are given. Find the coordinates of point C such that 3·OC⃗ = OA⃗ + OB⃗.
A.(1, 3)
B.(3, 1)
C.(1, 2)
D.(2, 1)
Explanation: OA⃗ = (0, 5) and OB⃗ = (3, 4). Their sum is (3, 9). Dividing by 3: C = (1, 3). So the coordinates of C are (1, 3).
9Given the matrix A = [[2, 1], [3, 4]], which of the following equals det(A)?
A.5
B.11
C.−5
D.8
Explanation: For a 2×2 matrix A = [[a, b], [c, d]], det(A) = ad − bc. Here det(A) = 2·4 − 1·3 = 8 − 3 = 5.
10For what values of a is the matrix A(a) = [[1, a], [2, a+1]] invertible?
A.a ≠ −1
B.a ≠ 1
C.a ≠ 0
D.all real a
Explanation: A matrix is invertible if and only if its determinant is non-zero. det(A) = 1·(a+1) − a·2 = a+1 − 2a = 1 − a. Setting det(A) = 0 gives 1 − a = 0, so a = 1. Therefore A(a) is invertible for all a ≠ 1.

About the Romanian BAC Math Exam

The Romanian Bacalaureat (Examenul Național de Bacalaureat) is the national secondary-school-leaving certificate required for university admission in Romania. Mathematics is tested in Proba E.c (the compulsory profile paper) for graduates of the real profile. Four differentiated programs exist: M_mate-info (mathematics-informatics, the most rigorous), M_șt-nat (natural sciences), M_tehnologic, and M_pedagogic. The M_mate-info program covers algebra, complex numbers, combinatorics, matrices and systems, trigonometry and analytic geometry, limits and continuity, derivatives and function study, definite integrals, and algebraic structures (groups, rings, fields). The written paper carries 90 points across 10 compulsory problems, plus 10 points awarded automatically, yielding a grade out of 10. A grade of at least 5.00 is required to pass each paper. The 2026 Bacalaureat main session is held in June–July 2026, with an autumn resit in August.

Romanian BAC Math: Suggested Study Strategy

1Download official past papers (subiecte.edu.ro) from at least the last 5 years and solve all 10 problems per paper under timed conditions — the exam structure is very consistent.
2Master the standard derivatives and integrals table by heart: ln(x), eˣ, sin/cos, arctan, arcsin, and their chain-rule variants appear in almost every Subject III.
3For Subject II (matrices/systems), practise computing determinants by cofactor expansion and Cramer's rule until it is automatic; checking det(A)=0 to identify non-invertibility is a recurring 5-point subproblem.
4Study function analysis systematically: domain → monotonicity (first derivative) → extrema → concavity (second derivative) → asymptotes → graph; this framework covers the entire Subject III Part 1.
5Review the binomial theorem and know C(n,k) values for n ≤ 10; Subject I combinatorics problems are typically straightforward counting questions worth easy points.
6Use the 2026 national simulation paper (Simulare BAC 24 Martie 2026) as a full mock exam — it reflects the exact current format including the algebraic structures problem in Subject II.
