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 = 7×100,000=700,0007 \times 100,000 = 700,000.

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) 1+2+3+6=121+2+3+6=12 (No)
    • B) 2+4+1+2=92+4+1+2=9 (Yes)
    • C) 3+5+2+8=183+5+2+8=18 (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 858 \ge 5, round up. 5,670,000+10,000=5,680,0005,670,000 + 10,000 = 5,680,000.

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: 5432÷115432 \div 11. 5432=11×493+95432 = 11 \times 493 + 9? Let's check. 11×493=542311 \times 493 = 5423. 54325423=95432 - 5423 = 9. Wait, let's re-calculate. 54÷11=454 \div 11 = 4 rem 10. 103÷11=9103 \div 11 = 9 rem 4. 42÷11=342 \div 11 = 3 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: (2+4)(3+5)=68=2(2+4) - (3+5) = 6 - 8 = -2. 29(mod11)-2 \equiv 9 \pmod{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 5,432÷105,432 \div 10. Remainder 2. Option B. Or 5,432÷65,432 \div 6. 5432/6=9055432/6 = 905 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: 5432÷115432 \div 11 leaves remainder 9.

6. B
Reasoning: 360÷15=24360 \div 15 = 24.

7. C
Reasoning:

  • 51 = 3×173 \times 17 (Not prime)
  • 57 = 3×193 \times 19 (Not prime)
  • 59 = Prime (Only factors 1 and 59)
  • 63 = 9×79 \times 7 (Not prime)

8. B
Reasoning: 180=18×10=(2×9)×(2×5)=2×32×2×5=22×32×5180 = 18 \times 10 = (2 \times 9) \times (2 \times 5) = 2 \times 3^2 \times 2 \times 5 = 2^2 \times 3^2 \times 5.

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
Working: Multiples of 12: 12, 24, 36, 48... Multiples of 18: 18, 36, 54... LCM is 36.

13. 45,029; 45,092; 45,209; 45,902
Marking: 1 mark for correct order, 1 mark for all correct.

14. 1,050
Working: 125×8=1,000125 \times 8 = 1,000 450÷9=50450 \div 9 = 50 1,000+50=1,0501,000 + 50 = 1,050

15. 53
Working: Let the numbers be n1,n,n+1n-1, n, n+1. Sum = 3n=1563n = 156. n=156÷3=52n = 156 \div 3 = 52. The numbers are 51, 52, 53. Largest is 53.

16. No, because 91=7×1391 = 7 \times 13.
Marking: 1 mark for "No", 1 mark for correct factors/reason.

17. 1, 4, or 7
Reasoning: Sum of digits 4+5+2+x=11+x4+5+2+x = 11+x. For 11+x11+x to be divisible by 3, xx can be 1 (1212), 4 (1515), or 7 (1818). Answer: Any one of 1, 4, 7.

18. 5,994
Working: Digit 6 is in the thousands place. Place Value = 6,000. Face Value = 6. Difference = 6,0006=5,9946,000 - 6 = 5,994.

19. 36,250
Working: February in a leap year has 29 days. 1,250×291,250 \times 29. 1,250×30=37,5001,250 \times 30 = 37,500. 37,5001,250=36,25037,500 - 1,250 = 36,250.

20. 42 or 49
Reasoning: Multiples of 7: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56... 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 24+2=2624+2=26, 48+2=5048+2=50, 72+2=7472+2=74. 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.

17. 252,850
Working: Start: 245,600 2021: 245,600+12,450=258,050245,600 + 12,450 = 258,050 2022: 258,0505,200=252,850258,050 - 5,200 = 252,850

18. 12
Working: Factors of 18: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18 Factors of 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 Common Factors: 1, 2, 3, 6 Sum: 1+2+3+6=121 + 2 + 3 + 6 = 12

19. 38
Working: LCM of 5 and 7 is 35. Number is of the form 35k+335k + 3. If k=1k=1, 35+3=3835+3=38. Is 38 > 30? Yes. Smallest number is 38.

20. (a) 100, (b) Figure 12
Working: (a) Sum of first nn odd numbers = n2n^2. For n=10n=10, Sum = 102=10010^2 = 100. (b) Sum = 144. n2=144n=144=12n^2 = 144 \Rightarrow n = \sqrt{144} = 12. Figure 12.
