QUESTION KEY SOLUTION STRAND LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY

1 A The arrow will be most likely to stop on the symbol with the greatest frequency (3 out of 8)

Chance and Data Easy

2 C The area of the wall is 3 × 7 = 21 square metres. She will be paid 21 × $1.50 = $31.50. Measurement Easy

3 A

From the table you can see that the Paris flight departs at 13:50. Fifteen minutes before that is 13:35 and that is the time when flight F023 departs.

Measurement Easy

4 D

With a careful look at all options, the main difference is the ratio of tomatoes to blackcurrants. Using the given graph, the ratio of tomatoes to blackcurrants is 1:8. Only option D gives this ratio.

Chance and Data Easy

5 B

Observing the pattern, Michael does 15 more skips every day. Therefore, on Friday he will do 75 skips and on Saturday he will do 15 more and that is 90.

Algebra and Pattern Medium

6 A The sum of x and y adds to 190° which is more than the angle sum of a triangle (180°).

Space and Geometry Medium

7 B

Convert hours to minutes and m to cm first.

The snail travelled 1.5 m in 4 hours. That is

equal to 150 cm in 240 min.

Distance travelled in 1 min = 150240

150240

× 160 cm

Distance travelled in 160 min = 150240

150240

× 160 cm

= 100 cm

Number and Arithmetic Medium

8 A

The total surface area is equal to the surface area of the front (9 cm2) plus the back (9 cm2) plus the surface area of the 2 sides (2 × 5 = 10 cm2) and the base and top (2 × 5= 10 cm2) plus the surface area of the 4 wings (4 × 13= 52 cm2).Add up all quantities = 90 cm2

Measurement Medium

Level of difficulty refers to the expected level of difficulty for the question.

Easy more than 70% of candidates will choose the correct option

Medium about 50–70% of candidates will choose the correct option

Medium/Hard about 30–50% of candidates will choose the correct option

Hard less than 30% of candidates will choose the correct option

9 C

The pattern is made up of a set of 5 symbols

(A)

(B)

(C)

(D)

that repeats itself.

Therefore, as 985

35

= 19 , the 98th element will be 19 whole sets plus the first 3 symbols of the next set. The third element of the set is a

(A)

(B)

(C)

(D)

.

Number and Arithmetic Medium/Hard

10 990 990 is the lowest common multiple of 9, 10 and 11.

Number and Arithmetic Hard
