READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST

Write in dark blue or black pen.

You may use HB pencil for any diagrams or graphs.

Do not use staples, paper clips, glue or correction fluid.

Answer all the questions.

Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place in the
case of angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question.

1. The figure below shows triangle 𝑋𝑌𝑍, where 𝑋𝑍 = 7 cm, 𝐴𝑌 = 18.9 cm, 𝑌𝑍 = 25 cm and

∠𝑋𝐴𝑍 = 54! . 𝑋𝐴𝑌 forms a straight line.

Find,

(a) the length of 𝐴𝑋, [2]

(b) sin ∠𝑋𝑌𝑍, [1]

(c) ∠𝑋𝑍𝑌, [2]

(d) The shortest distance from 𝑋 to 𝑌𝑍. [2]

Solutions

(c) ∠𝑋𝑌𝑍 = sin'( %& = 16.260! [M1]

∠𝑋𝑍𝑌 = 180! − 90! − 16.260!

= 73.7! (1dp) [A1]

(d) Area of 𝑋𝑌𝑍

2. (a) In a building project, the proposed actual area of a clothing store is 0.25 km% .

The clothing store is 4 cm% on the floor plan.

Given that the floor plan is drawn on a scale of 1: 𝑛, find,

(i) the value of 𝑛. [2]

(ii) the actual distance, in metres, between the clothing store and the nearby toilet,
which is 0.8 cm apart on the floor plan. [1]

(b) Mr Lim sold a vintage bag at $3400 and made a profit of 60%.
(i) Find the price at which he bought the vintage bag. [2]
(ii) The percentage increase in selling price if he wishes to profit 30% more than
what he profits now. [3]
Solutions
(i) Area ratio: 4 cm% : 0.25 km%

Length ratio: 2 cm: 0.05km [M1]

1 cm: 0.025km

Scale: 1: 2500

∴ 𝑛 = 2500 [A1]

(ii) Actual distance = 0.8 × 2500 = 2000 cm = 20 m [B1]

(i) 160% of cost price = $3400

Cost price 3400 ÷ 160 × 100 = $2125 [M1, A1]

(ii) Profit= 3400 − 2125 = $1275

Desired profit= $1675.50 [M1]

New selling price= 2125 + 1675.50 = $3800.50

3. Thomas randomly rolls a 8 sided die, five times.

The mean of the results is 4.6, median is 6, and the mode is 6.

The difference between the smallest and the largest result is 7.

Find the results of the 5 rolls. Show all working clearly. [4]

Solutions

Sum of results= 4.6 × 5 = 23

Since the difference between the largest and smallest is 6, the possibility of smallest

number and largest number is 1,7 and 2, 8. [M1]

Since 6 is the median, it is the middle of the 5 rolls.

Case 1: 1, 7

1, ___, 6, ___, 7

Since 6 is the mode, one of the unknown rolls is 6. [M1]

Last unknown roll = 23 − 1 − 6 − 6 − 7 = 3

Hence one possible result of the 5 rolls is 1, 3, 6, 6, 7 [A1]

Case 2: 2, 8

2, ___, 6, ___, 8

Since 6 is the mode, one of the unknown rolls is 6.

Last unknown roll= 23 − 2 − 6 − 6 − 8 = 1

This is not possible, since the smallest roll is 2. [A1]

Hence, the only possible result of the 5 rolls is 1, 3, 6, 6, 7.

4. The diagram below shows a toy that can be modelled by removing a cylinder of radius 2 cm
and height 10 cm from a solid hemisphere of radius 12 cm.

Water is poured into the hollow cylinder. Leaving your answer in terms of 𝜋, find

(a) the total surface area of the toy in contact with the water, [2]

(b) the total surface area of the toy, [2]

(c) the volume of the toy. [3]

The toys are packed into a rectangular box of length 60 cm, width 48 cm and height
40 cm. Given that 𝑚 toys are packed into a box,

(d) Find the largest value of 𝑚. [1]

(e) Calculate the volume of empty space in the rectanglular box, using the value of 𝑚
found in part (d). [2]

Solutions
(a) Surface area in contact = 2𝜋(2)(10) + 𝜋(2)% [M1]

= 44𝜋 cm% [A1]

(b) Curved surface area = 2𝜋(12)% = 288𝜋 cm%

Top area= 𝜋(12)% − 𝜋(2)% = 140𝜋 cm% [M1 for both]

Total surface area= 140𝜋 + 288𝜋 + 44𝜋

= 472𝜋 cm% [A1]

%
(c) Volume of hemisphere= ) 𝜋(12)) = 1152𝜋 cm) [M1]

Volume of cylinder= 𝜋(2)% (10) = 40𝜋 cm) [M1]

Volume of toy= 1152𝜋 − 40𝜋 = 1112𝜋 cm) [A1]

5. The stem and leaf diagram below shows the number of storybooks read by children in
two separate kindergardens in a particular year.

(a) State the median for each of the kindergardens. [2]

(b) A parent claims that the children in Jas Playhouse read more story books than
Learning Space. Do you agree with her? Justify with a reason. [1]

(c) A new children joins Jas Playhouse, and the mean number of story books read by
the children becomes 23. Find the number of story books read by this child. [2]

Solutions
%).%&
(a) Median for Jas Playhouse = %
= 24 [B1]

Median = 26 [B1]

(b) I disagree, because Jas Playhouse has a lower median / mean [B1]

(c) Total number of books= 23 × 11 = 253

Number of storybooks read by child

= 253 − 7 − 7 − 8 − 28 − 25 − 23 − 21 − 36 − 36 − 33 [M1]

= 28 [A1]

8. An opaque box contains 30 identical cards labelled 0 to 29. Lucy draws a card at random
from the box. Find the probability that the card she drew displays
(i) an odd number, [1]
(ii) a number that is a multiple of 4, [1]
(iii) a number that is a multiple of 2 but not a multiple of 3. [2]
