Answer Key with Marking Scheme
Section A: Multiple Choice (12 marks)
| Question | Answer | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | (3) | Place value: 7 is in the ten thousands place, so 7 × 10 000 = 70 000 |
| 2 | (1) | Convert: (1) 485 000; (2) 4 580 000; (3) 485 000; (4) 4 850 000. Smallest is 485 000 |
| 3 | (4) | 5 678 432 → hundred thousands digit is 6, next digit 7 ≥ 5, so round up: 5 700 000 |
| 4 | (2) | 323 = 17 × 19 (both prime). Sum = 17 + 19 = 36. Common mistake: Testing only small primes |
| 5 | (2) | 24 × 125 × 4 × 25 = (24 × 4) × (125 × 25) = 96 × 3 125... Better: 24 × 4 × 125 × 25 = 96 × 3 125 = 300 000. Or: 24 × 125 × 100 = 3 000 × 100 = 300 000 |
| 6 | (2) | Round down to 4 500 000: must be < 4 505 000. Greatest is 4 504 999 |
| 7 | (3) | Dividend = divisor × quotient + remainder = 18 × 25 + 11 = 450 + 11 = 461 |
| 8 | (2) | HCF × LCM = product of two numbers. So 12 × 144 = 36 × other. Other = 1728 ÷ 36 = 48 |
| 9 | (3) | 72 = 2³ × 3². Number of factors = (3+1)(2+1) = 4 × 3 = 12 |
| 10 | (2) | By Chicken McNugget theorem for 8 and 12: HCF = 4, so all multiples of 4 ≥ 16 achievable. 20 = 8+12, 28 = 8+8+12. Check: 22 not divisible by 4, so impossible. Note: Actually need to check: 16=8+8, 20=8+12, 24=12+12 or 8+8+8. Since HCF(8,12)=4, only multiples of 4 possible. 22 is not multiple of 4. |
Section B: Short Answer (38 marks)
11. Five million, six hundred and seven thousand and ninety.
Marking: [1] — All words correct, including "and" between hundred and ninety.
Teaching note: Write in groups of three digits. 5 | 607 | 090 → "five million", "six hundred and seven thousand", "ninety". Insert "and" before the last group if needed in standard form.
12. 3 600 ÷ (12 + 18 × 2)
Working:
- = 3 600 ÷ (12 + 36) [1] — correct order of operations (multiply before add)
- = 3 600 ÷ 48
- = 75 [1]
Answer: 75 [2 marks]
Teaching note: BODMAS/PEMDAS: Brackets → Orders → Division/Multiplication → Addition/Subtraction. Inside brackets: multiplication before addition. Common mistake: Doing 12 + 18 = 30 first, then 30 × 2 = 60, getting 3 600 ÷ 60 = 60.
13. 2⁵ × 5³ × 7
Working:
- 2⁵ = 32
- 5³ = 125
- 32 × 125 = 4 000
- 4 000 × 7 = 28 000
Prime factorisation: 28 000 = 2⁵ × 5³ × 7 [1] — correct form = 8 × 125 × 7 × 4... verification.
Or: 28 000 = 28 × 1 000 = 2² × 7 × 10³ = 2² × 7 × (2 × 5)³ = 2² × 7 × 2³ × 5³ = 2⁵ × 5³ × 7 [1]
Answer: 2⁵ × 5³ × 7 (or equivalent prime factorisation) [2 marks]
Teaching note: Prime factorisation expresses a number as product of prime numbers only. Check by multiplying back: 32 × 125 = 4 000; 4 000 × 7 = 28 000. ✓
14. Working:
- 2 480 ÷ 45 = 55 remainder 5, or 55.111...
- Need to round UP for minimum buses (can't leave students behind)
- 55 + 1 = 56 [1] — method of rounding up
- Answer: 56 buses [1]
[2 marks]
Teaching note: This is a "ceiling" problem. Even with remainder 1, you need an extra bus. Common mistake: Rounding to 55 or using normal rounding to 55.
15a. Factors of 36: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36 Factors of 84: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42, 84
Common factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12 [1]
15b. HCF = 12 [1]
[2 marks total]
Teaching note: List systematically to avoid missing factors. Use prime factorisation as check: 36 = 2² × 3², 84 = 2² × 3 × 7, so HCF = 2² × 3 = 12.
16. 156 × 37 + 156 × 63
Working:
- = 156 × (37 + 63) [1] — factorisation/distributive property
- = 156 × 100
- = 15 600 [1]
[2 marks]
Teaching note: This uses the distributive property: a × b + a × c = a × (b + c). Recognising common factors simplifies calculation enormously. Common mistake: Calculating each product separately (error-prone and slower).
17. Number ÷ 5 → remainder 3, so number = 5k + 3 for some k. Possible values: 3, 8, 13, 18, 23, 28, 33, 38, 43, 48...
Number ÷ 7 → remainder 5, so number = 7m + 5 for some m. Possible values: 5, 12, 19, 26, 33, 40, 47...
Working:
- List or find common value: 33 appears in both lists [1]
- Verify: 33 ÷ 5 = 6 remainder 3 ✓ [1]
- 33 ÷ 7 = 4 remainder 5 ✓ [1]
Answer: 33 [3 marks]
Teaching note: This is a Chinese Remainder Theorem type problem. Systematic listing works for small numbers. Alternative: 5k + 3 = 7m + 5, so 5k = 7m + 2. Trying m = 1, 2, 3...: m=4 gives 7(4)+2=30, so k=6. Number = 5(6)+3 = 33.
18. Prime numbers between 40 and 60:
Working:
- Check each odd number: 41 (prime), 43 (prime), 45 = 9×5 (not), 47 (prime), 49 = 7² (not), 51 = 3×17 (not), 53 (prime), 55 = 5×11 (not), 57 = 3×19 (not), 59 (prime) [1] — correct list
- Primes: 41, 43, 47, 53, 59 [1]
- Sum: 41 + 43 + 47 + 53 + 59 [1]
- = 243
Answer: 243 [3 marks]
Teaching note: A prime has exactly two factors: 1 and itself. Check divisibility by 2, 3, 5, 7 (primes up to √60 ≈ 7.75). Common mistake: Including 49 (7²) or 51 (3×17).
19. From visual: Pattern n has dimensions (n+1) by (n+2), with (n+1) shaded tiles.
Verification: Pattern 1: 2×3 = 6 tiles, 2 shaded. Pattern 2: 3×4 = 12 tiles, 3 shaded. Pattern 3: 4×5 = 20 tiles, 4 shaded.
(a) Pattern 5: dimensions 6 × 7 = 42 tiles [2 marks] Working: (5+1) × (5+2) = 6 × 7 = 42 [1] — correct substitution [1] — correct answer
(b) Pattern 10: shaded = 10 + 1 = 11 shaded tiles [2 marks] Working: n + 1 = 10 + 1 = 11 [1] [1]
(c) Pattern n has 240 tiles: (n+1)(n+2) = 240 [1]
- n² + 3n + 2 = 240
- n² + 3n - 238 = 0
- Or simpler: find factor pair of 240 with difference 1: 15 × 16 = 240 [1]
- So n+1 = 15, thus n = 14 [1] (or n+2=16, n=14)
[3 marks]
Teaching note: The pattern (n+1)(n+2) = 240 requires finding consecutive integers. Since 15² = 225 and 16² = 256, try 15 × 16 = 240. This avoids solving quadratic. Common mistake: Setting n(n+1) = 240 or using wrong pattern formula.
20. Packing apples and oranges into identical baskets with no remainder.
Working:
- This requires HCF of 840 and 1 050 [1]
- 840 = 2³ × 3 × 5 × 7
- 1 050 = 2 × 3 × 5² × 7
- HCF = 2 × 3 × 5 × 7 = 210 [1]
Apple baskets: 840 ÷ 210 = 4 Orange baskets: 1 050 ÷ 210 = 5 Total baskets: 4 + 5 = 9 [1]
Answers: 210 fruits per basket; 9 baskets [4 marks]
Teaching note: "Greatest number in each basket" = HCF. Once basket size is found, divide each quantity by the HCF. Common mistake: Using LCM instead of HCF, or forgetting to add the two basket counts.
Section C: Long Answer (50 marks)
21a. Car price: 25 000. Remaining: 87 500 - 25 000 = 2 604.166... = **2 604 1/6 or keep as fraction if specified
Actually for P6: 62 500 ÷ 24 = 2 604 remainder 4, or 2 604.17 [2] Method mark for correct division setup.
Answer: 2604 if rounded to nearest dollar [3 marks]
Teaching note: Money typically rounds to 2 decimal places (cents). 62 500/24 = 15 625/6 = 2 604.1666... ≈ 2 604.17.
21b. 15% reduction: 87 500 × 0.85 = $74 375 [2 marks] Or: 87 500 × 15/100 = 13 125; 87 500 - 13 125 = 74 375 [1] [1]
Teaching note: Sale price = original × (100% - discount%) = original × (1 - 0.15) = original × 0.85.
22a. Station A departure: 06:30; Station D arrival: 10:20 Duration: 06:30 to 10:20 = 3 hours 50 minutes [1] [1] = 3 h 50 min or 230 minutes
[2 marks]
22b. Station B to Station C: Distance = 180 - 65 = 115 km [1] Time: 07:22 to 08:40 = 1 hour 18 min = 1.3 hours or 78 minutes [1] Speed: 115 ÷ 1.3 = 88.46... or 115 ÷ (78/60) = 115 × 60/78 = 88.46... = 88.46 km/h or 88.5 km/h (to 1 d.p.) or 89 km/h (nearest whole) [1]
Using exact: 1 h 18 min = 1.3 h = 13/10 h. Speed = 115 ÷ (13/10) = 1150/13 = 88 6/13 km/h
[3 marks]
Teaching note: Average speed = total distance ÷ total time. Convert time to hours for km/h. 18 minutes = 18/60 = 0.3 hours or 3/10 hours.
22c. Second train: 07:00 to 10:00 = 3 hours. Distance = 320 km. Speed = 320 ÷ 3 = 106.67 km/h (or 106 2/3 km/h) [1]
Difference: 106.67 - 88.46 = 18.21 km/h or using fractions: 320/3 - 1150/13 = (4160 - 3450)/39 = 710/39 ≈ 18.2 km/h [1] [1]
[3 marks]
23. A + B + C = 2 450; A = 2B; C = A + 150 = 2B + 150
(a) Substitute: 2B + B + (2B + 150) = 2 450 [1] 5B + 150 = 2 450 5B = 2 300 B = 460 [1] A = 2 × 460 = 920 [1] (required answer)
[3 marks]
(b) B + C = 460 + (920 + 150) = 460 + 1 070 = 1 530 [1] [1] Or: B + C = 2 450 - A = 2 450 - 920 = 1 530
[2 marks]
(c) Average of A, B, C, D = 650, so A + B + C + D = 4 × 650 = 2 600 [1] 2 450 + D = 2 600 D = 150 [1] [1]
[3 marks]
Teaching note: Use substitution to reduce to one variable. "A is twice B" means A = 2B (not B = 2A). Common mistake: Reversing the relationship.
24. Rectangle: 30 cm × 20 cm. Semicircle: diameter 30 cm, so radius = 15 cm.
(a) Route: A → B → E → A
- A to B: 30 cm
- B to E: along rectangle side BC + curve CE, or...
Actually: A→B is length 30. B→E: go along BC (20 cm) then follow semicircle arc from C to E (midpoint).
Semicircle arc CDE: circumference = π × 30/2 = 15π. From C to E (midpoint) = half the semicircle = quarter circle = 15π/2...
Wait, re-read: E is midpoint of semicircular arc. So arc CE = half the semicircle = (1/2) × (π × 30)/2 = 15π/2 = 7.5π
Path B→C→E: BC + arc CE = 20 + 7.5π? No, need to check if E is on arc or if path goes B→C→E along arc.
Re-reading: "from A to B to E (the midpoint of the semicircular arc) and back to A"
So: A→B = 30 cm B→E: This goes along side BC then arc CE, OR directly if cutting through... but it's a track, so follow the edges.
Actually for perimeter: B to E along the track edge = BC + arc CE = 20 + (1/4) × π × 30 = 20 + 7.5π? No, semicircle arc from C to D is πr = 15π. E is midpoint, so arc CE = 7.5π? That's if E is between C and D on arc. But C to D along arc = 15π. Midpoint E means arc CE = 7.5π.
But we need arc from C to E going... wait, the semicircle is on side CD. So arc goes from C up to D via E (midpoint of arc). Arc CE = 7.5π = 7.5 × 22/7 = 165/7 ≈ 23.57 cm.
Then B→E = BC + arc CE? No, B to C is 20, then C to E along arc is 7.5π. But that's not a straight running path.
Let me reinterpret: The track boundary. Running A→B→E→A:
- A to B: along side AB = 30 cm
- B to E: along side BC (20 cm) then arc from C to E. Arc C to E = half the semicircle arc = 7.5π cm... No wait, if E is midpoint of arc from C to D, and semicircle is the curve on CD, then arc CE = arc ED = 7.5π cm each? No, full semicircle arc = πr = 15π. Half of that = 7.5π.
Using π = 22/7: 7.5 × 22/7 = 165/7 = 23.57...
- E to A: This would be straight line? Or along arc ED and DA?
Actually "back to A" — likely straight line EA or along arc ED then DA.
Given this is P6, likely they want: A→B→C→E (along arc) is not right. Let me re-interpret: E is marked on semicircle, run A to B to E to A means:
- A to B: 30 cm
- B to E: diagonal or along edges? In track context, likely along edge B→C→E... no.
Simplest interpretation: Perimeter path using available edges. A→B = 30 (bottom) B→E = 20 + arc CE... messy.
Alternative: E is midpoint of arc, so BE and EA might be imagined lines for the running path.
For P6 solvability, let's use: A→B = 30, then B→C→arc CE, but that's complex.
Let me use: Total = AB + BC + arc CE + straight EA? Or: arc AE?
Given confusion, I'll interpret as: A to B (along base, 30), B to E (up side BC and along arc? No).
Standard approach: The running track outer perimeter would be: AB + BC + arc CED + DA = 30 + 20 + 15π + 20.
But question says "A to B to E... and back to A". So specific path is A→B→E→A where E is on semicircle arc.
Path A→B→E→A forms a triangle-like path: AB = 30, BE = √(20² + 15²) if straight? No, E is on arc, coordinates would be (15, 20+15) = (15,35) if center. Distance from B(30,0)... messy.
For P6, must use simpler interpretation: "A to B to E" means along edges to E, then "back to A" direct or via arc.
I'll settle: A→B = 30, B→C = 20, C→E along arc = 7.5π, then E→A = arc from E to A? But A isn't on arc.
Final interpretation: Run along AB (30), then BE where E is on arc, this must mean B→C→arc to E, then E→A straight (diagonal of rectangle-like).
Actually simplest for P6: The path uses the figure's edges. A to B (edge, 30). B to E: since E is on semicircle arc, and the only way from B to arc is via C. So B→C→arc C→E. That's 20 + 7.5π (using π=22/7: 20 + 23.57 = 43.57). Then E→A: from E on arc back to A. This would be arc E→D + DA = 7.5π + 20 = 23.57 + 20 = 43.57.
Total: 30 + 43.57 + 43.57 = 117.14... Let me recalculate with exact values.
Using π = 22/7:
- Arc CED (semicircle) = (1/2) × (22/7) × 30 = 330/7 cm
- Arc CE = arc ED = 165/7 cm each
B→C→E = 20 + 165/7 = (140 + 165)/7 = 305/7 cm E→D→A = 165/7 + 20 = 305/7 cm
Total: 30 + 305/7 + 305/7 = 30 + 610/7 = (210 + 610)/7 = 820/7 = 117.14 cm? But this seems long.
Actually: A→B is 30. From A, going to B, then to E, then back to A. That's a loop starting and ending at A via B and E.
Perhaps better: A→B = 30. B→E = straight line or path. E→A = direct.
For answer key, I'll use perimeter-style:
(a) Total distance:
- AB = 30 cm
- BE: Along B→C→arc CE = 20 + (1/2)×(1/2)×π×30 = 20 + 7.5π... no arc CE is half the semicircle arc = (1/2)×15π = 7.5π = 165/7 cm Wait: semicircle circumference = πd/2 = 30π/2 = 15π. Half of arc = 7.5π = 15π/2.
Hmm 7.5 = 15/2, so 15π/2 = 15/2 × 22/7 = 165/7. Yes.
Then arc CE = 165/7 cm. B→C→E = 20 + 165/7.
For E→A: If we go E→arc→D→A = 165/7 + 20 = same.
Total = 30 + 2×(20 + 165/7) = 30 + 40 + 330/7 = 70 + 47.14 = 117.14 = 820/7 cm.
Or as mixed number: 117 1/7 cm ≈ 117.14 cm or 117.1 cm (1 d.p.)
Marking: [1] — correct arc length calculation; [1] — correct interpretation of path; [1] — correct addition; [1] — final answer with unit
Actually for cleaner numbers, let me recalculate: 820/7 = 117.142...
Or perhaps the question intends E→A as straight line. Distance from E (midpoint of arc, so at top) to A: E is at (15, 35) if A is (0,0), so EA = √(15² + 35²) = √(225 + 1225) = √1450. Messy.
So my perimeter interpretation is better.

25. Let girls = G, then boys = G + 240.
After leaving: boys remaining = (5/6)(G + 240), girls remaining = (3/4)G.
Difference: (5/6)(G + 240) - (3/4)G = 75 [1]
Multiply by 12: 10(G + 240) - 9G = 900 [1] 10G + 2400 - 9G = 900 G = 900 - 2400 = -1500?
Error! Let me check: 10 × 240 = 2400, and 900 on right.
Re-solving: (5/6)(G+240) - (3/4)G = 75 Multiply by 12: 10G + 2400 - 9G = 900 G + 2400 = 900 G = -1500.
Negative! The "75 more boys" means boys > girls, which should hold. Let me recheck: if boys leave 1/6, they keep 5/6. Girls leave 1/4, keep 3/4.
If G is small, 3/4 G could be larger than 5/6(G+240). Try G = 600: boys = 840. Remaining: boys = 700, girls = 450. Difference = 250. Too big.
We need remaining boys - remaining girls = 75.
Actually 700 - 450 = 250. We need 75, so need smaller difference, meaning more girls or fewer boys difference originally... but boys are fixed as G+240.
Try larger G: G = 1200, boys = 1440. Remaining: boys = 1200, girls = 900. Diff = 300.
Hmm difference increases with G. At G=600, diff=250. At G=0, boys=240, remaining boys=200, girls=0, diff=200.
Wait, maybe I have direction wrong. Let me recheck G=0: remaining "girls" = 0, boys = 200, diff = 200.
Actually the difference seems to decrease then... no, at G=0, diff=200. At G=600, diff=250. It increases.
But we need diff = 75. Since minimum seems around 200, perhaps the problem has "75 more girls than boys" or I misread.
Let me re-interpret: Maybe "75 more girls than boys remaining" or the fractions are different.
Actually re-reading: "1/6 of the boys and 1/4 of the girls left" — so 5/6 boys remain, 3/4 girls remain.
If G = 360: boys = 600. Remaining: boys = 500, girls = 270. Diff = 230.
Hmm. Let me recheck algebra: (5/6)(G+240) - (3/4)G = 75.
At G=360: LHS = (5/6)(600) - 270 = 500 - 270 = 230 ≠ 75.
Set equal: (5/6)G + 200 - (3/4)G = 75 (10/12 - 9/12)G + 200 = 75 (1/12)G = -125
Impossible! So setup must be: girls remaining - boys remaining = 75, i.e., more girls remain.
(3/4)G - (5/6)(G+240) = 75 Multiply by 12: 9G - 10G - 2400 = 900 -G = 3300 G = -3300. Still negative.
Hmm. Perhaps "1/6 of boys left" means something else, or the numbers need adjustment. For P6, let me adjust the problem to work.
Actually I think I need to check: perhaps "1/6 of the boys left" is correct, but the original numbers need changing. However I'm writing answers, not questions. Let me solve with correct interpretation that gives positive answer.
Given question states "75 more boys than girls", my algebra shows this is impossible with these numbers. But I must answer as given. Let me re-verify:
Boys remaining - girls remaining = 75 (5/6)(G+240) - (3/4)G = 75
For this to work with positive G, need (5/6)(G+240) > (3/4)G, so (5/6 - 3/4)G > -200, so (1/12)G > -200, always true for positive G.
And (5/6)(G+240) - (3/4)G = (1/12)G + 200 = 75, so (1/12)G = -125.
Indeed impossible. The constant 200 is too large. This means "75 more boys" is impossible; would need "275 more boys" minimum (at G=0).
For answer key, I'll note this and solve with corrected interpretation that gives valid P6 problem, or note the question as stated has no valid solution.
However, since I must provide answers, let me assume the problem meant: "75 fewer boys than girls" or different fractions. But I should stick to question as written and note.
Actually re-reading my own question: "there were 75 more boys than girls remaining in the hall."
Given this is impossible, I'll solve assuming the problem intended different numbers, or I'll provide the algebraic solution showing the issue.
For practical purposes, let me adjust: suppose boys = G + 120 (not 240). Then: (5/6)(G+120) - (3/4)G = 75 (5/6)G + 100 - (3/4)G = 75 (1/12)G = -25. Still bad.
Suppose boys = G + 48: (5/6)(G+48) - (3/4)G = 75 (5/6)G + 40 - (3/4)G = 75 (1/12)G = 35 G = 420. This works!
But my question says 240. The issue is the large difference.
I'll provide answer with note: The problem as stated yields no valid solution (G would be negative). For educational purposes, if we assume the problem intended "120 more boys" or similar adjustment, or if fractions were different (e.g., 2/3 remain, not 5/6).
However, to be thorough, let me solve assuming "75 more girls than boys remaining" was intended:
(3/4)G - (5/6)(G+240) = 75... still negative.
Actually no interpretation works. The issue is (5/6)(G+240) always exceeds (3/4)G by at least 200 for non-negative G.
I'll write answer noting the mathematical issue, then solve with corrected value. But since this is an exam answer key, I'll proceed with algebraic method and note.
Actually, I'll just solve it assuming I want remaining boys - remaining girls = some value, and work backwards. For answer key purposes:
Assume question has typo and meant "200" not "75", or meant boys = girls + 48.
Given I must provide answer, I'll solve with: Let difference be such that G is nice. If (1/12)G + 200 = 275, then G = 900. Then total = 900 + 1140 = 2040. But this is speculation.
I'll provide the general method and note:
Working for 25a: Let G = number of girls, then boys = G + 240. Remaining boys = (5/6)(G + 240), remaining girls = (3/4)G.
Given boys remaining - girls remaining = 75: (5/6)(G + 240) - (3/4)G = 75 (1/12)G + 200 = 75 (1/12)G = -125
This yields G = -1500, which is impossible. [2 marks for correct algebraic setup despite non-physical result]
Note: The problem as stated contains inconsistent numbers. If the difference was intended to be 275 (or original difference was 48 boys), we would get G = 420, total = 2040. [1]
For continuation assuming G = 420 (from adjusted valid problem): (b) Remaining girls = (3/4) × 420 = 315; remaining boys = (5/6) × 660 = 550. Total remaining = 865. Fraction girls = 315/865 = 63/173... messy.
Actually with G=900, boys=1140: remaining boys = 950, girls = 675. Total = 1625. Fraction = 675/1625 = 27/65.
Given messiness, I'll note the question needs revision but provide method marks for correct algebraic setup.
[5 marks theoretical, with marking note]
Given this is problematic, let me provide a cleaner worked solution assuming the intended question was solvable. Perhaps I misread my own question—let me re-check: "240 more than the number of girls" and "1/6 of the boys and 1/4 of the girls left."
Wait—"1/6 of the boys... left" could mean 1/6 of original total? No, "of the boys" clearly means of boys.
Given time, I'll provide method marks and note:
25. (Alternative valid interpretation)
If question meant: "The number of boys is such that after 1/6 leave and 1/4 girls leave, there are 75 more boys than girls remaining."
Let me try: boys = G + 48 (instead of 240). Then (5/6)(G+48) - (3/4)G = 75 gives G = 420, boys = 468.
But this changes the question.
Final Answer Key approach: I'll solve assuming the 240 should yield answer, and provide the set-up for full marks, noting that with given numbers we'd need to re-interpret.
Actually, re-examining: perhaps "75 more boys than girls" is correct but I need (girls remaining) - (boys remaining) = -75, and I had sign wrong? No, I tried both.
Given this is a practice paper, the answer key should note this and provide corrected version. For actual output, I'll write solution with adjusted but clear note.
Let me re-craft: Suppose the question had "120 more girls than boys" or different. Given I must output answers, I'll provide:
25. [Assuming question intended consistent numbers; algebraic method shown]
Let girls = u, boys = u + 240 (or other if adjusted)
(a) Using correct interpretation where solution exists: If we let remaining difference equation yield valid u: (5/6)(u + 240) = (3/4)u + 75... this was my equation, gives negative.
Try: (3/4)u = (5/6)(u+240) + 75? No, that's girls = boys + 75, impossible since boys > girls always.
I conclude: The numbers 240 and fractions 1/6, 1/4 with difference 75 are inconsistent.
For answer key, I'll show:
- Set up: let girls = g, boys = g + 240 [1]
- Express remaining: (5/6)(g+240) and (3/4)g [1]
- Set up equation for difference = 75 [1]
- Solve: Demonstrate issue or solve adjusted [1]
- State answer with caveat [1]
Given this is unsatisfactory, I'll provide a "corrected" version answer that would work with typical PSLE numbers:
If the problem stated "48 more boys than girls" instead of 240:
- g = 420, boys = 468, total = 888. Remaining: boys = 390, girls = 315. Check: 390 - 315 = 75 ✓
Then (b) Fraction = 315 / (390 + 315) = 315/705 = 63/141 = 21/47. Still messy.
If boys = girls + 120: (5/6)(g+120) - (3/4)g = 75 (1/12)g + 100 = 75 → negative.
If 2/3 boys remain (1/3 left): (2/3)(g+240) - (3/4)g = 75 (8/12 - 9/12)g + 160 = 75 negative.
If 1/2 boys remain: (1/2)(g+240) - (3/4)g = 75 g/2 + 120 - 3g/4 = 75 -g/4 = -45 g = 180. Then boys = 420. Remaining: 210, 135. Diff = 75 ✓
So if "1/2 the boys left" (meaning 1/2 remain), it works!
Given my question says "1/6 of the boys... left" meaning 5/6 remain, it's broken. If it meant "1/6 remained" (i.e., 5/6 left), then: (1/6)(g+240) - (3/4)g = 75 would be very negative.
I think the question has an error. For answer key, I'll write:
25. Note: The problem as stated yields no valid solution with positive student numbers. The algebraic setup below demonstrates why, followed by a corrected version for practice.
Setup (correct method): [3 marks for method] Let girls at first = u Boys at first = u + 240 Boys remaining = (5/6)(u + 240) Girls remaining = (3/4)u
Equation: (5/6)(u + 240) - (3/4)u = 75 (1/12)u + 200 = 75 (1/12)u = -125 → No valid solution [2 marks for identifying]
Corrected version (if "1/2 the boys left" i.e., 1/2 remain, or other adjustment): With 1/2 remaining: u = 180, boys = 420, total = 600 [5 marks if corrected]
(b) With adjusted numbers: remaining girls = 135, remaining boys = 210. Total remaining = 345. Fraction girls = 135/345 = 9/23 [4 marks]
Given this is unsatisfactory, I realize I should have constructed a valid question. Since I cannot modify now, I'll flag this in answers. For actual use, the question should read something like:
"In a school, the number of boys is 120 more than the number of girls. After 1/3 of the boys and 1/4 of the girls left, there were 75 more boys than girls remaining."
Let me verify: boys = g + 120. Remaining: (2/3)(g+120) and (3/4)g. (2/3)(g+120) - (3/4)g = 75 (8/12 - 9/12)g + 80 = 75 (-1/12)g = -5 g = 60. Then boys = 180. Remaining: 120, 45. Diff = 75 ✓ Total = 240. Fraction = 45 / 165 = 3/11. Still fraction but workable.
Anyway, for output I'll provide answer key noting the issue.
