Total Marks: 80

Section A (24 marks)

Q1 [2]
Shaded region outside both $A$ and $B$: $(A \cup B)'$ or $A' \cap B'$.
Teaching: Complement of union equals intersection of complements (De Morgan). Mark: 2 for correct notation.

Q2 [2]
Shaded = $A \cap B$.
Teaching: Overlap of two sets is intersection. Mark: 2.

Q3 [2]
Sequence: 4,7,10 → diff 3 → $3n+1$. Check n=1:4.
Answer: $3n+1$. Mark: 2.

Q4 [2]
4,8,12 → diff 4 → $4n$. Mark: 2.

Q5 [1]
$\sin \angle PQR = \frac{PR}{PQ} = \frac{5}{13}$. Mark: 1.

Q6 [1]
$\cos \angle QPR = \frac{PR}{PQ} = \frac{5}{13}$. Mark: 1.

Q7 [2]
Area big = $\pi(10)^2 = 100\pi$. Shaded = $\pi(6)^2 = 36\pi$. P = $36\pi/100\pi = 9/25$. Mark: 2 (1 area, 1 prob).

Sector angle 90 of 360 = 1/4. P = 1/4. Mark: 2.

Section B (24 marks)

Q9 [3]
$OA = 8$, $AC=2$ → $OC=6$ (since A-O-C? Actually A-O-B-C collinear, AC = AO+OC? Given AC=2, AO=8 impossible. Interpret: A is left of O, C right; AC = AO+OC = 8+OC=2 contradiction. Use internal tangent: OB = r, OC = r, OA=8, AC = OA-OC = 8-r =2 → r=6.)
Radius small = 6 cm. Mark: 3 (1 interpret, 2 calc).

Q10 [3]
Perimeter = $2\pi r = 2 \times 3.142 \times 6 = 37.704$ cm. Mark: 3.

Q12 [3]
$PT = \sqrt{10^2-6^2} = 8$ cm. Mark: 3.

Q13 [4]
Total 120. Maths angle = $40/120 \times 360 = 120^\circ$. English = $20/120 \times 360 = 60^\circ$. Mark: 2 each.

Q14 [4]
Diagonal = 16 → side = $16/\sqrt{2} = 8\sqrt{2}$. Area = $(8\sqrt{2})^2 = 128$ cm². Mark: 4.
