b) An Otah factory produces four types of seafood otah, namely fish (F), prawn (P), squid (S) and mixed
seafood otah (M), for distribution to its five outlets [3]
Allwell receives 70 of F, 120 of P, 90 of S and 80 of M
Behappy receives 120 of F, 150 of S and 140 of M
Carry-On receives 150 of P, 85 of S and 60 of M
Do it Right receives 200 of F, 140 of P and 70 of S
Easv Mart receives 80 of F, 110 of P and 95 of M

(i) The cost to the outlets of each stick of F, P, S and M is 35₵, 40₵, 45₵ and 38₵ respectively.

Write down two matrices such that the elements of their product under matrix multiplication give the cost
of otahs delivered to each outlet. Evaluate this product.

2
(ii) During the month of December, Allwell received 45 such deliveries, Behappy 42 deliveries, Carry-On 38
deliveries, Do it Right 55 deliveries and Easy Mart 52 deliveries.

Write down two matrices such that the elements of their product give the total number of sticks of
otahs of each type leaving the factory. Obtain this product and hence, find the total number of otahs
supplied by the factory to these outlets.

(iii) With the information provided in (i) and (ii), write down two matrices so that the product will give
the total revenue derived by the otah factory in the month of December.

c) Find two consecutive positive odd numbers, given that the difference between their reciprocals is 2/63.

[2]
d) The line joining the points A(2,t) and B(7, 2t 2+7) has a gradient of 2. Find the possible values of t.

[2]
10.(a) A point Q is 24km away and at a bearing of 072 o form P. From Q, a man walks, at a bearing of
320o, to a point R, located directly north of P. Calculate the distance of PR and QR.
[2]
(b) An aeroplane flies from town P to town Q, a distance of 450 km. The aeroplane can fly at a constant
speed of 650 km/h. During the journey from P to Q, there is a wind blowing at x km/h in the direction
of PQ. [2]

(i) Write down an expression in x, for the time taken for the plane to fly from P to Q.

(ii) If the wind is still blowing at the same speed and in the same direction as the plane, from Q to P, write
down the time taken for the journey from Q to P.

(iii) If the difference in the time taken is 8 minutes, form an equation in x and show that it reduces to

x2 + 6750x - 422 500 = 0

(c) The approximate mass of the moon is 7x1019 tonnes while the mass of the earth is approximately
6x1024 tonnes. Calculate the number of tonnes that the earth is as heavy as the moon, giving your
answer correct to the nearest 1000. [2]
