Section A: Short Answer Questions [40 marks]

1. Find the HCF and LCM of 84 and 126 using prime factorization. [4 marks]

Solution: 84 = 2² × 3 × 7 126 = 2 × 3² × 7

HCF = 2¹ × 3¹ × 7¹ = 42 [2 marks] LCM = 2² × 3² × 7¹ = 252 [2 marks]

2. Express $\frac{5}{8} - 0.375 + 1\frac{1}{4}$ as a mixed number in its simplest form. [3 marks]

Solution: $\frac{5}{8} - 0.375 + 1\frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{8} - \frac{3}{8} + \frac{5}{4}$ [1 mark] $= \frac{2}{8} + \frac{5}{4} = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{5}{4} = \frac{6}{4} = 1\frac{1}{2}$ [2 marks]

Answer: $1\frac{1}{2}$

3. A recipe for 6 people requires 450g of flour. How much flour is needed for 14 people? [2 marks]

Solution: Flour per person = 450 ÷ 6 = 75g [1 mark] For 14 people = 75 × 14 = 1050g [1 mark]

Answer: 1050g

4. In a school, the ratio of boys to girls is 7:5. If there are 280 boys, find the total number of students. [3 marks]

Solution: If boys:girls = 7:5, then 7 parts = 280 boys [1 mark] 1 part = 280 ÷ 7 = 40 students [1 mark] Total = 7 + 5 = 12 parts = 12 × 40 = 480 students [1 mark]

Answer: 480

5. A shopkeeper increases the price of an item by 15%, then decreases it by 20%. If the final price is $92, find the original price. [4 marks]

Solution: Let original price = $x **[1 mark]** After 15% increase:$ 1.15x [1 mark] After 20% decrease: $1.15x × 0.8 = 0.92x **[1 mark]**$ 0.92x = 92 $, so$ x = 100$ [1 mark]

Answer: $100

6. Convert 72 km/h to m/s. [2 marks]

Solution: 72 km/h = 72 × 1000 ÷ 3600 = 20 m/s [2 marks]

Answer: 20 m/s

7. Find 35% of $240, then increase this amount by 40%. [3 marks]

Solution: 35% of $240 = 0.35 × 240 =$ 84 [1 mark] Increase by 40%: $84 × 1.4 =$ 117.60 [2 marks]

Answer: $117.60

8. A car travels 180 km in 2 hours 30 minutes. Calculate its average speed in km/h. [2 marks]

Answer: 72 km/h

9. Express 0.625 as a fraction in its lowest terms. [2 marks]

Solution: 0.625 = 625/1000 = 5/8 [2 marks]

Answer: 5/8

10. The ratio of the ages of Tom and Jerry is 3:4. If Tom is 15 years old, how old will Jerry be in 5 years' time? [3 marks]

Solution: If Tom:Jerry = 3:4 and Tom = 15, then 3 parts = 15 [1 mark] 1 part = 5, so Jerry = 4 × 5 = 20 years old now [1 mark] In 5 years, Jerry will be 20 + 5 = 25 years old [1 mark]

Answer: 25 years

11. A number is increased by 25% to give 150. Find the original number. [3 marks]

Solution: Let original number = x [1 mark] x + 25% of x = 150, so 1.25x = 150 [1 mark] x = 150 ÷ 1.25 = 120 [1 mark]

Answer: 120

12. Find the value of $2\frac{2}{3} \times 1\frac{1}{8} \div \frac{4}{9}$ . [3 marks]

Solution: $2\frac{2}{3} \times 1\frac{1}{8} \div \frac{4}{9} = \frac{8}{3} \times \frac{9}{8} \times \frac{9}{4}$ [2 marks] $= \frac{8 \times 9 \times 9}{3 \times 8 \times 4} = \frac{729}{96} = 7\frac{57}{96} = 7\frac{19}{32}$ [1 mark]

Answer: $7\frac{19}{32}$

13. A map has a scale of 1:50,000. If two towns are 8 cm apart on the map, what is the actual distance between them in km? [3 marks]

Solution: Map distance = 8 cm [1 mark] Actual distance = 8 × 50,000 = 400,000 cm [1 mark] = 400,000 ÷ 100,000 = 4 km [1 mark]

Answer: 4 km

14. In a class of 32 students, $\frac{3}{8}$ are boys. How many girls are there? [2 marks]

Solution: Boys = $\frac{3}{8} \times 32 = 12$ [1 mark] Girls = 32 - 12 = 20 [1 mark]

Answer: 20

15. A bank offers 4.5% simple interest per annum. How much interest will $800 earn in 18 months? [3 marks]

Solution: Time = 18 months = 1.5 years [1 mark] Interest = $\frac{800 \times 4.5 \times 1.5}{100}$ [1 mark] = $54 [1 mark]

Answer: $54

Section B: Structured Questions [40 marks]

16. A factory produces widgets at different rates during the day. [8 marks]

(a) Solution: Rate = 240 ÷ 3 = 80 widgets per hour [2 marks]

(b) Solution: New rate = 80 × 1.25 = 100 widgets per hour [1 mark] Widgets produced = 100 × 2.5 = 250 widgets [2 marks]

(c) Solution: Total produced so far = 240 + 250 = 490 widgets [1 mark] Remaining needed = 1000 - 490 = 510 widgets [1 mark] Time needed = 510 ÷ 100 = 5.1 hours [1 mark]

17. The table shows the distribution of marks in a Mathematics test. [10 marks]

(a) Solution: Total students = 3 + 7 + 12 + 15 + 8 = 45 [1 mark]

(b) Solution: Students scoring more than 60 = 15 + 8 = 23 [1 mark] Percentage = (23/45) × 100% = 51.1% [1 mark]

(c) Solution: Median position = 23rd student [1 mark] Cumulative: 3, 10, 22, 37, 45 23rd student is in 61-80 range [1 mark]

(d) Solution: Midpoints: 10, 30.5, 50.5, 70.5, 90.5 [1 mark] Mean = (10×3 + 30.5×7 + 50.5×12 + 70.5×15 + 90.5×8) ÷ 45 [1 mark] = 2737.5 ÷ 45 = 60.8 [1 mark]

(e) Solution: Students scoring 41-80 = 12 + 15 = 27 [1 mark] Probability = 27/45 = 3/5 [1 mark]

18. A water tank has the shape of a cylinder with radius 1.2 m and height 2.5 m. [12 marks]

(a) Solution: Volume = πr²h = π × (1.2)² × 2.5 = 3.6π m³ [2 marks]

(b) Solution: Volume = 3.6 × 3.14 = 11.304 m³ [1 mark] = 11.304 × 1000 = 11,304 litres [1 mark]

(c) Solution: Time = 11,304 ÷ 15 = 753.6 minutes [1 mark] = 12 hours 33.6 minutes [1 mark] = 12 hours 34 minutes [1 mark]

(d) Solution: Initial volume = (2/5) × 11,304 = 4,521.6 litres [1 mark] Net inflow rate = 15 - 8 = 7 litres per minute [1 mark] Remaining capacity = 11,304 - 4,521.6 = 6,782.4 litres [1 mark] Time to fill = 6,782.4 ÷ 7 = 968.9 minutes [1 mark] Since this is positive, the tank will eventually fill but not overflow immediately. [1 mark]

19. Three friends, Alice, Bob, and Carol, share some money in the ratio 2:3:5. [10 marks]

(a) Solution: If Alice gets $24 and ratio is 2:3:5, then 2 parts =$ 24 [1 mark] 1 part = $12 Bob gets 3 ×$ 12 = $36 **[1 mark]** Carol gets 5 ×$ 12 = $60 [1 mark]

(b) Solution: Total = $24 +$ 36 + $60 =$ 120 [1 mark]

(c) Solution: Alice spends 25% of $24 =$ 6, has $18 left **[1 mark]** Bob spends$ 15, has $36 -$ 15 = $21 left **[1 mark]** Carol spends 2 ×$ 6 = $12, has$ 60 - $12 =$ 48 left [1 mark] Total left = $18 +$ 21 + $48 =$ 87 [1 mark]

(d) Solution: Each person gets $87 ÷ 3 =$ 29 [2 marks]
