Malay : Tamil = 3 : 2 (total 5 units)
1 unit =
Tamil books = 2 units =
Wait, let me recalculate:
Total = 12,450
English = 3/10 = 3,735
Chinese = 1/5 = 2/10 = 2,490
Remaining = 12,450 - 3,735 - 2,490 = 6,225
Ratio 3:2, total 5 parts.
1 part = 6,225 ÷ 5 = 1,245
Tamil = 2 parts = 2,490

Marking: 1 mark for number of boys, 1 mark for number of girls, 1 mark for boys with spectacles, 1 mark for girls with spectacles and total.
34. Answer: 15,912 [4]
Working:
January = 15,600
February = 15,600 × (1 - 15%) = 15,600 × 0.85 = 13,260
March = 13,260 × (1 + 20%) = 13,260 × 1.20 = 15,912
Marking: 1 mark for February production, 1 mark for March production method, 1 mark for correct calculation, 1 mark for final answer.
35. Answer: 192 [4]
Working (Algebra/Units method):
Initial: Apples : Oranges = 5 : 3
Let apples = 5u, oranges = 3u
After adding: Apples = 5u + 24, Oranges = 3u + 12
New ratio = 7 : 4
Initial total = 8u = 8 × 12 = 96 fruits
Wait, let me check: 5u = 60 apples, 3u = 36 oranges. Total = 96.
After: 60+24=84 apples, 36+12=48 oranges. Ratio = 84:48 = 7:4 ✓
Correction: Answer is 96, not 192.
Marking: 1 mark for setting up initial ratio, 1 mark for setting up equation, 1 mark for solving u, 1 mark for correct total.
36. Answer: 16 minutes [4]
Working:
Volume of tank = cm³
Water volume = cm³
Convert to litres: litres
Time = minutes
Wait, the question says "empty the tank completely" but it's only 2/3 filled. So we only pour out the water present.
Time = 48 litres ÷ 2 litres/min = 24 minutes.
Correction: Answer is 24 minutes, not 16.
Marking: 1 mark for tank volume, 1 mark for water volume, 1 mark for conversion to litres, 1 mark for correct time.
37. Answer: 96 [5]
Working (Units method):
Initial: Peter : John = 4 : 7
Let Peter = 4u, John = 7u
After Peter gives 36 to John:
Peter = 4u - 36, John = 7u + 36
New ratio = 1 : 4
Peter at first = 4u = 80
Wait, let me check: Peter = 80, John = 140. After: Peter = 44, John = 176. Ratio = 44:176 = 1:4 ✓
Correction: Answer is 80, not 96.
Marking: 1 mark for initial ratio setup, 1 mark for after-transfer expressions, 1 mark for equation setup, 1 mark for solving u, 1 mark for correct answer.
38. Answer: 700 [5]
Working:
Let total pens = 35u (LCM of 7 and 5)
Blue =
Remaining = 25u
Black =
Red = 25u - 15u = 10u
Difference (Black - Red) = 15u - 10u = 5u = 120
1u = 24
Total = 35u = 35 × 24 = 840
Wait, let me check: Blue = 240, Remaining = 600, Black = 360, Red = 240. Difference = 120 ✓. Total = 840.
Correction: Answer is 840, not 700.
Marking: 1 mark for choosing common unit (35u), 1 mark for blue pens, 1 mark for black and red pens, 1 mark for finding 1u, 1 mark for total.
39. Answer: 60 [3]
Working:
Sum of 5 numbers =
Sum of remaining 4 numbers =
Number removed =
Marking: 1 mark for sum of 5 numbers, 1 mark for sum of 4 numbers, 1 mark for correct answer.
