Answer Key - TuitionGoWhere Practice Paper (Version 3) Elementary Mathematics O-Level

Total Marks: 60

Section A

Q1 [2]
Answer: $A' \cap B'$ or $(A \cup B)'$
Teaching: The shaded part is outside A and outside B. Complement of A is $A'$, complement of B is $B'$, intersection means both → $A' \cap B'$. By De Morgan, this equals $(A \cup B)'$.
Common mistake: writing $A \cap B'$ (that is A only).

Q2 [2]
Answer: $P \cap Q$
Teaching: Shaded is the overlap of P and Q, which is intersection.
Marking: 2 marks for correct notation.

Q3 [3]
Area big = $\pi \times 10^2 = 100\pi$
Area small = $\pi \times 6^2 = 36\pi$
Shaded annulus = $100\pi - 36\pi = 64\pi$
P = $\frac{64\pi}{100\pi} = \frac{64}{100} = \frac{16}{25}$
Answer: $\frac{16}{25}$
Teaching: Probability = area shaded / total area. Cancel $\pi$.
Marks: 1 for areas, 1 for subtract, 1 for fraction simplified.

Q4 [4]
OC = 13 cm (radius big). CD = 5 → OD = 18 cm.
Small radius = OB = OC - BC? Actually B inside, tangent at C so BC = small radius, O,B,C collinear, OB + BC = 13. Not needed for perimeter of segment? Perimeter = OA + OD + arc ADC. OA = 13, OD = 18, arc ADC is semicircle? Actually arc from A to D through C is major? Given A-O-B-C-D straight, shaded right side bounded by arc ADC (from A left around to D right) and segments OA, OD. Arc ADC = half big circle = $\pi \times 13 = 13\pi$ (if semicircle). Perimeter = 13 + 18 + 13π = 31 + 13π cm.
Answer: $(31 + 13\pi)$ cm
Marks: 1 id lengths, 1 arc, 2 sum.

Q5 [4]
Total = 30. Angle Football = $\frac{12}{30} \times 360 = 144^\circ$.
Pie chart: Football 144°, Basketball $\frac{8}{30}\times360=96^\circ$, Tennis $\frac{10}{30}\times360=120^\circ$.
Answer: 144° and chart drawn.
Marks: 2 calc, 2 draw.
