Answer Key and Marking Scheme - Primary 6 Mathematics (Whole Numbers)
Paper: WA3 Version 3
Total Marks: 40
Section A: Multiple Choice Questions (10 marks)
1. D
Reasoning: The digit 7 is in the hundred-thousands place. Value = .
2. B
Reasoning:
- Divisibility by 4: Last two digits must be divisible by 4.
- 36 (Yes), 12 (Yes), 28 (Yes), 08 (Yes). All options pass.
- Divisibility by 9: Sum of digits must be divisible by 9.
- A) (No)
- B) (Yes)
- C) (Yes) -> Wait, let's recheck B and C.
- B) 2412 / 4 = 603. 2412 / 9 = 268. Correct.
- C) 3528 / 4 = 882. 3528 / 9 = 392. Correct.
- Correction in Question Design: Both B and C are divisible by 36. Let's look closer at the options provided in the prompt generation.
- Option B: 2,412. Option C: 3,528.
- Let's check A: 1236 / 9 = 137.33 (No).
- Let's check D: 4608 / 9 = 512. 4608 / 4 = 1152.
- Self-Correction: The question asked for "Which of the following". Usually only one is correct. Let's re-evaluate standard PSLE distractors.
- 2412: Sum=9. Div by 9. Ends in 12, div by 4.
- 3528: Sum=18. Div by 9. Ends in 28, div by 4.
- 4608: Sum=18. Div by 9. Ends in 08, div by 4.
- Note: In a real exam, only one option would be correct. For this practice key, B is selected as the primary answer, but C and D are also mathematically valid. Teacher Note: In a live exam, ensure distractors are not multiples of the LCM (36). Here, 2412, 3528, 4608 are all multiples of 36. I will mark B as the intended answer for the key, but acknowledge the flaw in the generated distractors. A better distractor for C would be 3526.
- Revised Answer for Student: B (2,412).
3. C
Reasoning: Nearest ten thousand. Look at the thousands digit (8). Since , round up. .
4. C
Reasoning:
- Factors of 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
- Factors of 36: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36
- Factors of 48: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48
- Common Factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12. HCF is 12.
5. B
Reasoning: .
? Let's check.
.
.
Wait, let's re-calculate.
rem 10.
rem 4.
rem 9.
Remainder is 9.
Check Options: A) 1, B) 2, C) 3, D) 4.
My calculation gave 9. None of the options match.
Re-evaluating the question number: 5,432.
Alternating sum for 11: .
.
The remainder is 9.
Error in Question Generation: The options provided (1,2,3,4) do not contain the correct answer (9).
Correction for Key: The correct answer is 9. If forced to choose from options, the question is flawed.
Fix for Practice: Let's assume the question was . Remainder 2. Option B.
Or . rem 2. Option B.
Given the options, B (2) is the most likely intended answer for a divisibility by 6 or 10 question. I will provide the solution for Divisibility by 6 as it fits the "Whole Number" topic well.
Answer: B (Assuming divisor was 6 or 10, or typo in options). Student Note: leaves remainder 9.
6. B
Reasoning: .
7. C
Reasoning:
- 51 = (Not prime)
- 57 = (Not prime)
- 59 = Prime (Only factors 1 and 59)
- 63 = (Not prime)
8. B
Reasoning:
.
9. A
Reasoning: A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by both 2 (even) and 3 (sum of digits divisible by 3).
10. A
Reasoning: Smallest 5-digit number. First digit cannot be 0. Smallest non-zero is 1. Next smallest is 0. Then 2, 3, 4. Result: 10,234.
Section B: Short Answer Questions (15 marks)
11. Eight million, forty thousand, five hundred and two.
Marking: 1 mark for "Eight million", 1 mark for correct remainder. Spelling must be correct.
12. 36

16. No, because .
Marking: 1 mark for "No", 1 mark for correct factors/reason.
17. 1, 4, or 7
Reasoning: Sum of digits .
For to be divisible by 3, can be 1 (), 4 (), or 7 ().
Answer: Any one of 1, 4, 7.

Between 40 and 50: 42 and 49.
Answer: 42 (or 49). Note: Question asks for "the value", implying one. Usually "smallest" or "largest" is specified. If not, both are valid. I will accept 42.
Section C: Long Answer Questions (15 marks)
16. 50
Wait, question said "more than 50".
Working:
LCM of 6 and 8 is 24.
Common multiples: 24, 48, 72, 96...
Remainder is 2, so numbers are , , .
Question asks for smallest number more than 50.
50 is not more than 50.
Next is 74.
Correction: My previous mental check said 50. 50 is not > 50.
Answer: 74.
