2 Company ABC has a fund of $300,000 available for investment in stocks. There
are three categories of stocks available for investment, namely high-risk, medium-
risk and low-risk. The investment in low-risk stocks is to be thrice the sum of the
investments in stocks of the other two categories. High-risk stocks will have a return
rate of 12% per year, medium-risk stocks 6% per year and low-risk stocks 3% per
year. If the investment goal is to achieve a return of 5% per year on the total
investment, determine how much the company should invest in each type of stock.
(Assume that all the money available for investment is invested.) [4]

12 Two athletes signed up for the 13 km Nanyang Marathon. In preparation for this
marathon, the athletes planned a 16-day personalised training programme as
follows:
Athlete A will run 0.4 km on the first day of the training programme and for each
subsequent day, the distance he will run is increased by x km.
Athlete B will run 0.6 km on the first day of the training programme and for each
subsequent day, the distance he will run is 10% more than the distance ran for the
previous day.
(i) Find the minimum value of x such that Athlete A is able to run at least 13 km
on the last day of the training programme. [2]

achieve this target? You must show sufficient workings to justify your
answer. [2]

After 2 days of training, Athlete B modified his training programme such that on
