$\frac{7}{12}$ (Wait, $PQ$ is opposite to $\angle PRQ$ if $\angle P=90^\circ$ ? No, if $\angle P=90^\circ$ , $QR$ is hypotenuse. $\sin \angle PRQ = \frac{PQ}{QR} = \frac{7}{12}$ ). [1]
$A \cap B'$ (or $A \setminus B$ ). [2]
$\frac{\pi(4)^2}{\pi(10)^2} = \frac{16}{100} = \mathbf{0.16}$ or $\frac{4}{25}$ . [2]
$4, 7, 10 \dots$ First diff = 3. $3n + (4-3) = \mathbf{3n + 1}$ . [2]
$\tan \angle BAC = \frac{BC}{AB} = \frac{12}{5} = \mathbf{2.4}$ . [1]
$\xi - (A \cup B)$ or $A' \cap B'$ . [2]
$\frac{\pi(2)^2}{8^2} = \frac{4\pi}{64} = \frac{\pi}{16} \approx \mathbf{0.196}$ . [2]
$6, 11, 16 \dots$ First diff = 5. $5n + (6-5) = \mathbf{5n + 1}$ . [2]
$\frac{30}{120} \times 360^\circ = \mathbf{90^\circ}$ . [3]
$AOBCD$ is a straight line. $AD = 16$ (diameter of big circle). $CD=3$ . $AO + OB + BC + CD = 16$ . Since $B$ is centre of small circle, $OB=BC=r$ . $AO$ is part of big radius. If $A$ is on circumference, $AO=R=8$ . $8 + 2r + 3 = 16 \implies 2r = 5 \implies r = \mathbf{2.5 \text{ cm}}$ . [3]
Base $AB = 8-2 = 6$ . Area $= \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times |k-1| = 12 \implies |k-1| = 4$ . $k-1=4 \implies k=5$ ; $k-1=-4 \implies k=-3$ . Values: $\mathbf{5, -3}$ . [3]
$\frac{108}{360} \times 200 = 0.3 \times 200 = \mathbf{60 \text{ students}}$ . [3]
$XY = \sqrt{(5+2)^2 - (5-2)^2} = \sqrt{7^2 - 3^2} = \sqrt{49-9} = \sqrt{40} \approx \mathbf{6.32 \text{ cm}}$ . [3]
Base $AB = 4$ . Area $= \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 5 = 10$ . This is independent of $k$ as long as height is 5. However, if $C$ is $(k, 5)$ , any $k$ works? Re-reading: if $C$ is $(k, 5)$ , the height is always 5. The question likely intended $C$ to be $(k, 5)$ and find $k$ for a specific property, or $C$ is $(0, k)$ . If $C(0, k)$ , then $\frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times |k| = 10 \implies |k|=5 \implies k = \mathbf{\pm 5}$ . [3]
Area shaded $= 2 \times \pi(1)^2 = 2\pi$ . Total area $= 10 \times 6 = 60$ . Prob $= \frac{2\pi}{60} = \frac{\pi}{30} \approx \mathbf{0.105}$ . [3]
$(A \cap B) \cap C'$ or $(A \cap B) \setminus C$ . [3]
$3n + 1 = 100 \implies 3n = 99 \implies n = \mathbf{33}$ . [3]
Distance from $O$ to chord is $R - 2r$ (since small circle is tangent to big circle and chord). $d = 10 - 8 = 2$ . Half chord $L/2 = \sqrt{10^2 - 2^2} = \sqrt{96}$ . $L = 2\sqrt{96} \approx \mathbf{19.6 \text{ cm}}$ . [4]
Total parts $= 3+4+5 = 12$ . Science $= \frac{5}{12} \times 360 = \mathbf{150 \text{ students}}$ . [4]
Base $AB = 5-1 = 4$ . Area $= \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times |k-2| = 6 \implies 2|k-2| = 6 \implies |k-2| = 3$ . $k-2=3 \implies k=5$ ; $k-2=-3 \implies k=-1$ . Values: $\mathbf{5, -1}$ . [4]
