Section A: Questions 1 to 10 (5 marks each)

1) There is an arithmetic sequence ‘26, 34, 42, … , 626’, how many terms are there in this
arithmetic sequence?

2) Find the average of ‘24, 28, 29, 37, 46, 54, 63, 71, 72 and 76’.

If your answer is a fraction, its simplest form should be given, and make sure the answer is either a proper
fraction or a mixed fraction.
If your calculation result can be rationalized, you must rationalize the calculation result.
3) Ray is producing tablets by using powder A and powder B. The weights of the two powders
required were written in milligrams but marked wrongly by Ray. He mistakenly marked the
tens digit of the weight of powder A ‘1’ as ‘5’, and the units digit of the weight of powder B
‘6’ as ‘4’. Finally, the produced tablet weighs 65 milligrams. What is the weight of a tablet
produced with a correct formula?

9) Find the remainder when 151994125773 is divided by 11.

10) How many different kinds of cuboids can be formed by using 16 cubes?
(If the number combinations of the length, width and height are the same, the cuboids will
be treated as the same. For example, 1,1,16 and 16,1,1 are treated as the same kind of
cuboids.)

If your answer is a fraction, its simplest form should be given, and make sure the answer is either a proper
fraction or a mixed fraction.

12) Two construction companies A and B built a 12 kilometre-long bridge together to connect
the northern district and the southern district of a city. Company A built from the south to
the north, while company B built from the north to the south, and finally they finished the
bridge in 2 years. If company B constructed the bridge 40 metres more than company A each
month, how many metres of the bridge did company A construct each month?

14) In Chinese Primary School, every student should choose a class from Hamlet, Macbeth and
King Lear as an extracurricular activity. The number of students in Hamlet class is 2 times
of the number of students in Macbeth class, and the number of students in Macbeth class is
3 times of the number of students in King Lear class. If there are 960 students in the school,

20) A teacher prepared 10 hats for 10 students and put one hat on each students’ head. The
students do not know the colour of their own hat, but they can see the colours of others’
hats. The following is the discussion between the teacher and the students.

Teacher said “There are four colours of hats, including red, blue, yellow and green. The
numbers of hats are different for different colours. Does anyone know the colour of your
own hat?”
Student 1 said “I know, it’s green.”
Student 2 said “I don’t know, but it should be blue or yellow.”
Student 3 said “Initially, I guessed my hat should be red or yellow, Now, I know my hat is
yellow.”

If the predictions of the three students are correct, then how many red, blue, yellow and
green hats are there?
(Please answer the question according to the above priority. For example, if the answer is 7
red hats, 12 blue hats, 4 yellow hats and 5 green hats, please write down “7, 12, 4, 5” on
the answer sheet.)
