Two illustrative practice questions written by Tutors Parliament for Class 10 IMO — not official SOF questions. Tap a question to reveal the answer and explanation.

Question 1

What are the roots of x² − 5x + 6 = 0?

Show Answer▾

A. 1 and 6
B. 2 and 3 ✓
C. −2 and −3
D. 2 and 6

Explanation: x² − 5x + 6 = (x − 2)(x − 3) = 0, so x = 2 or x = 3.

Question 2

Find the 10th term of the AP: 3, 7, 11, 15, ...

Show Answer▾

A. 35

Preparation Strategy for Class 10

Revise polynomial, geometry and trigonometry basics before attempting Olympiad-level variations
Practice board-exam-style problems for accuracy first, then add logical-reasoning practice for speed
Time yourself on objective-type question sets to build exam-day pacing
Focus extra practice on the topics with the most Olympiad weightage: algebra, geometry and number systems
