11. Kumar carried out different activities consecutively for 45 minutes. For the first 15 minutes, he
played a vigorous round of football. He then rested on the field for the next 15 minutes. Finally, he
took a slow walk home for another 15 minutes.

His heartbeat was measured during the activities and the results were presented in a graph. Which
one of the following graphs correctly shows Kumar’s heartbeat pattern during the activities?

12. The diagram below shows the different blood vessels that carry blood to and away from the heart.

Blood vessels A and D carry blood to the heart. Blood vessels B and C carry blood away from the
heart.

The following bar chart shows the amount of oxygen in 4 different fluid samples P, Q, R and S.
