3a. Estimate of sum = 126 + 135 + 120 = 381 mL 1A

3b. Since 381 > 380 , it must overflow, so I agree. 1M+1A

4a. p(–4) = 2(−4)3−3(−4)2 −30(−4)+56=0 1M

so x+4 is a factor of p(x) 1A

= ( 6 h+2 k −3 h+9 k )( 3 h+k +2 h−6 k )
= (3 h+11 k )(5 h−5 k) 1M

7a. Let $c be the cost of TV ,

(1+60 %)c=7680 1M
c=4800

The cost of TV is $4800 1A

7b. Since 7680(1−35 %)−4800=192>0 1M

So there will be a gain 1A

8a. AD= DC =CB= AB

Since DE is the perpendicular bisector of AB .
AE =EB and ∠DEA = ∠DEB = 90° 1M
Since AD= √ DE + AE and BD= √ DE + BE = √ DE + AE
2 2 2 2 2 2

So AD= BD
Since AD= BD= AB
So ∆ADB is an equilateral triangle. 1M
∠DAB = 60°
∠ADE = 180° - 60° - 90° = 30° (∠ sum of ∆) 1A

8b. By similarly, ∠DBE = 60°

Since AD=CD , AB=BC , BD= BD
So ∆ADB ≅ ∆CDB (SSS)
∠DBA = ∠DBC = 60° (corr . ∠ ≅∆s) 1M
∠ABC = ∠DBA + ∠DBC = 60° x 2 = 120° 1A
9 Let x 2 + y 2 +Qx + Ey+ F =0 be the equation of circle which passes through A , B and C , 1M
where Q , E and F are constants.

Sub (0 , 0) F =0
2
Sub (10 , 0) 10 +10 Q=0 ---> Q=−10
2
Sub (0 , 24) 24 +24 E=0 ---> E=−24 1M

So the equation of the circle x 2 + y 2−10 x−24 y=0 1A

2 2
Sub (5 , 25) 5 +25 −10(5)−24(25)=0 ---> 0=0 1M

Since L.H.S = R.H.S.

So D is a point lying on the circle
So A , B , C and D are concyclic. 1A

T = 6 or –5 (rej)

Required time is 6 hours. 1A

11c. Let r cm , h cm be the radius of the water surface and water depth respectively.
r 8
= (corr. sides ~∆s) 1M
h 8
r=h

1 2 343
π r h= π 1M
3 3
h 3=343
h=7
 So the water depth is 7 cm. 1A

12a. x= y=z=0
100+a−0=143
a=43 1A

c +73

c=62 1A

1131+b

b=52 1A

12b. Since the highest score for Jerry is 143 only < 300
So Jerry cannot beat James 1A

Consider the extreme cases

Let h be the minimum score for Hanky in 200 games. 1M
h+300(19)
=292.15
20
h=143

Since Jerry only can make a deuce with Hanky.

So Jerry is incorrect. 1A

13a. Coordinates of B = (3 , 4) 1A
Coordinates of C = (−3 , 4) 1A

13bi. Let (a , b) be the coordinates of P

2 AP =CP
2 √ (a−4)2 +(b+3)2 = √(a+3)2 +(b−4)2 1M
2 2 2 2
4(a−4) +4(b+3) =(a+3) +(b−4) 1M
2 2 2 2
4(a −8 a+16)+4(b +6 b+9)=a +6 a+9+b −8 b+16
2 2 2 2
4 a −32 a+64+4 b +24 b+36=a +6 a+9+b −8b+16
3 a 2 +3 b 2−38 a+32 b+75=0

So the equation of Γ is 3 x 2 +3 y 2−38 x+32 y+75=0 1A

13bii. Sub (3 , 4) , 3(3)2 +3(4)2−38(3)+32(4)+75=164≠0 1A

So Γ does not passes through B . 1A

14ai. ∠AEB = 90° (∠ in same segment)
∠FEA = 90° (adj .∠s on st line)
Since ∠AOD = ∠FEB = 90°
So A , O , E and F are concyclic. (converse of ∠ in same segment)
∠DAO = ∠OFB (∠ in same segment)
∠DOA = ∠BOF = 90° 2A for correct proof with reason
∠DAO = ∠BFO 1A for correct proof
∠ADO = ∠FOB (∠ sum of ∆) 0A for wrong proof
∆AOD ~ ∆ FOB (AAA)

∠AGB = 90° (∠ in semi circle)

Let ∠GAO = a
∠AGO = 180° - a – 90° = 90° - a (∠ sum of ∆)
∠OGB = 90° - (90° - a) = a
2A for correct proof with reason
∠AOG = ∠BOG = 90° 1A for correct proof
∠GAO = ∠BGO = a 0A for wrong proof

16bii. Let x be the score that Paul get in the second test
x−63
>1.4439481 1M
11
x>78.8834291

So the required range is 79≤x≤100 . 1A

17a. Let P=kx+Cx 2 where k and C are constants. 1A

Sub x=8 , P=704 64 C +8 k=704 ......(1)

Sub x=20 , P=800 400C +20 k =800 ......(2) 1M

By solving (1) and (2) C=−4 , k =120

So P=120 x−4 x 2 1A

17b. P=−4 x 2 +120 x

2
P=−4( x −30 x)
P=−4(( x)2−2( x)(15)+152 )+4(15)2 1M
2
P=−4( x−15) +900

So the price is $15 . 1A

Let B' be the point lying on AD such that BE = B'D
AB' = 60 – 30 = 30 cm

sin ∠ACD =

∠ACD = 54.60787654°
So the required angle is 55°. 1A

19a. Let a and d be the first term and the common difference of sequence A. 1M
a +2 d =17......(1)
a +3 d =23......(2) 1M

By solving (1) and (2) a = 5 , d = 6

A(n) = 5 + 6(n – 1) = 6n – 1 1A

Let c and f be the first term and the common difference of sequence B.

c+5 f =10......(3)
c+6 f =6 ......(4)

By solving (1) and (2) c = 30 , f = –4

B(n) = 30 – 4(n – 1) = 34 – 4n 1A

n(5×2+6 (n−1)) n(6 n+10−6) 6 n2 + 4 n 2

19bi. S(n)= = = =3 n +2 n

n (30×2−4 (n−1)) n (60−4 n+ 4) −4 n 2 +64 n 2

W ( n)= = = =−2 n +32 n 1M

−2 x +32 x−30

19bii. To keep T(x) real

Case I. 3 x 2 +2 x−21≥0 and −2 x 2 +32 x−30>0 1M

7
( x≤−3 or x≥ ) and 1< x <15 1M
3
7
So ≤ x<15 1M

Case II. 3 x 2 +2 x−21≤0 and −2 x 2 +32 x−30<0

7
−3≤x≤ and ( x<1 or x >5 )
3
So −3≤x <1

7
So the domain is −3≤x<1 or ≤ x<15 1A
3
19biii. Let D=−2 x 2 +32 x−30

Minimum value of T (x) is 0 when x=−3 1A

When x approach to 1 or 15
the value of D will trends to 0 1M
And T(x) will become infinite

So the maximum value does not exist. 1A
