≈ 8.73 km 1A

3b. Let the required angle be x° ,

4.77
tan x = 1M
7.31
x ≈ 33.1°

The required bearing is N33.1°W . 1A

d 1

d =6

Hence depth of water is 6 cm. 1A

4b. Hence the base radius cannot be found by the given information,
hence the claim is disagreed. 1A

5a. Percentage gain

1.7 x(1−5 %)−x
= ×100 % 1M
x
= 61.5% 1A

5b. 1.7 x(1−5%)=2907 1M

x=1800 1A

6a. OA=15 , OB=20

Since OA2 +OB 2 =152 +20 2=625=252 = AB2 1M
So ∆OAB is a right-angled triangle (converse of pyth theorem) 1A

By solving (1) and (2) , a = 17 and b = 24

Hence the slope

= 13 1A

8. Since OA = OB
So ∠OAB = ∠OBA = 66° (base ∠ isos ∆) 1M

∠BOA
= 180° - 2∠OBA (∠ sum of ∆) 1M
= 180° - 2(66°)
= 48°

∠COD = ∠BOA = 48° (equal chord, equal ∠) 1M

∠ACB = 0.5(48°) = 24° (∠ at circumference twice ∠ at centre) 1M

∠DEC = 24° + 48° = 72° (ext ∠ of ∆) 1A

10a. Range = 25 1A
Inter-quartile range = 70 – 55 = 15 1A
Median = 62 1A

10b. New lower quartile = 55 + 2 = 57

New maximum score = 72 + 5 = 77
New upper quartile = 70 + 2 = 72 1M
New minimum value = 47 + 5 = 52

Minimum value Lower quartile Median Upper quartile Maximum value

52 57 62 72 77

Since the upper quartile is the 12th datum and the maximum value is the 15th datum, 1M

hence the minimum possible number of students is 4 . 1A

Hence 47 silver coins can be cast at most. 1A

12bi. Let n be the number silver blocks.

30 n
=1000 1M
(0.2 π )
n = 20.94395102
So the number of silver sphere required is 21. 1A
12bii. Total cost

So it is. 1A

13a. f ( x)

r − pq=0
r = pq 1A

13bi. f ( x)
= ( x + p)( x 2 +q)
= ( x + p)( x 2−a 2 ) 1M
= ( x + p)( x−a)( x +a) 1A

13bii. f ( x )=( x + p)( x−a)( x +a )

f ( x +a )=( x +a + p)( x +a−a )( x +a +a )

f ( x +a )= x ( x+ a + p )( x +2 a )

p=0 (rej) 1M
a=0 (rej)

p=a + p
a=0 (rej)

−a =a+ p
p=−2 a

−a =2 a
a=0 (rej)

p=a + a=2 a

Hence p=−2 a or p=2 a 1A+1A

14ai. ∠BAC
= 180o −2 (72o ) (base ∠s, isos ∆) (∠ sum of ∆)
= 36o 1A

∠CED
= 72o ÷2 (ext ∠ of ∆)
= 36o

∠AEF = 36° (vert opp ∠s) 1A

14aii. ∠CDE = 36° (base ∠s, isos ∆)
∠ABC = 72° (base ∠s, isos ∆)

∠BFD
= 180° - 72° - 36° (∠ sum of ∆) 1M
= 72°

Since ∠ABC = ∠BFD = 72°

Hence ∆BDF is an isoceles triangle. 1A

14bi. AF = FB

Since ∠BAC = ∠FEA

AF = FE 1M

Hence AF = FE = FB

∠BFE
= 2(36°) (ext ∠ of ∆)
= 72°

∠FEB

∠AEB

= 90o

Hence ∆ABE is a right angled triangle,

the claim is agreed. 1A

14bii. AF = FB
Area of ∆AFD = Area of ∆BFD 1M
Since when G coincide with D ,
FBCG is no longer the quadrilateral,

Hence he is correct. 1A

15a. g(x) = log(100x) + 2 1M

g(x) = log 100 + log x + 2
g(x) = log x + 4 1A

x=10
log x= y−4 1M
y=log x +4

So it does. 1A
