3. (a) A shopkeeper buys 15 kg of type A coffee powder at $ x per kg, and 25 kgof type B coffee powder at $ y per kg. He mixes the two types of coffeepowder and packs the mixture into packets each of which contains 100 g of
the mixture. He sells the packets for $

(i) Write down in terms of x and y, an expression for(a) the amount of money he spent on the coffee powder, [1]
(b) the total amount of money he received for selling all the packetsof coffee powder. [2]
(ii) Find the profit made, in terms of x and y, giving your answer as simplyas possible. [1]
(b) A sports shop sells two types of tennis rackets, Premier and Grande. The
price of a Grande racket is
3
2that of a Premier racket.
(i) In a particular month, the shop received $3 915 in selling 60 tennisrackets. Given that 15 of the rackets sold are Premier rackets, showthat the selling price of a Grande racket is $58. [2]
(ii) If the shopkeeper made a 20% profit on each Premier racket sold and a16% profit on each Grande racket sold, find the percentage profit madefrom selling the 60 tennis rackets. [3]
4 The first four terms in a sequence of numbers p1, p2, p3, p4. …, are given below.
p1 = 5 1 – 2 0 = 5
p2 = 5 2 – 2 1 = 8
p3 = 5 3 – 2 2 = 11
p4 = 5 4 – 2 3 = 14
(a) Write down the expression for p6 and show that p6 = 20. [1]
(b) Write down an expression for p7 and evaluate it. [1]
(c) Find an expression, in terms of n, for the nth term, pn, of the sequence.Leave the expression in its simplest form. [2]
5. A bottle has a capacity of 500 cm3. It is filled with water at a rate of x cm3 /s.
(a) Express, in terms of x, the time taken to fill up the bottle. [1]
(b) If the rate increases to ( x + 3) cm3 /s, express, in terms of x, the time taken tofill up the bottle. [1]
(c) When the rate increases to ( x + 3) cm3 /s, the time taken to fill up the bottlewill be reduced by 40 seconds. Write down an equation involving x andshow that it can be simplified to 2 x2 + 6 x – 75 = 0. [3]
(d) Solve the equation 2 x2 + 6 x – 75 = 0, giving your answers correct to twodecimal places. [3]
(e) Hence find the original time taken, in seconds, to fill up the bottle. [2]
6.
In the diagram, O is the centre of the circle. AB is the diameter and it isproduced at T . CT is a tangent to the circle at C and angle BAC = 34 .
(a) State the reason why angle OCT = 90 . [1]
(b) Find(i) angle ATC , [2]
(ii) angle BCT . [2]
(c) Show that triangles ACT and CBT are similar. [3]
7. Box A contains 6 pieces of paper numbered 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.Box B contains 5 pieces of paper numbered 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9.One piece of paper is removed at random from Box A and then Box B.
(a) Find the probability that the two numbers obtained have(i) the same value, [2]
(ii) a product that is exactly divisible by 6. [2]

(i) Copy and complete the possibility diagram. [2]
(ii) Using the diagram, or otherwise, find the probability that the sum of the two numbers is(a) even, [1]
Diagram I shows a chest which has a uniform cross-section ABCDE , in which ABCE
is a rectangle. M is the midpoint of AB. CDE is an arc of a circle with M as the centre. AB = 32 cm, BC = 12 cm and BQ = 50 cm.
(a) Show that angle CME = 1.85 radians, [2]
(b) Find(i) the length of the arc EDC , [3]
(ii) the surface area of the lid, CDETSR, leaving your answer to the nearestwhole number, [2]
(iii) the area of sector EDCM , [2]
(iv) the volume of the chest. [2]
(c) Diagram II shows a bar of chocolate with dimensions 3 cm by 20 cm by 2 cm.They are being kept in the chest as shown above.Find the number of bars of chocolates that can fit into the chest. [2]
10. A quality control laboratory tested the lifespans of light bulbs. The batchof 50 light bulbs was tested. The cumulative frequency curve belowshows the result.
(a) Use the diagram to find, for the lifespan of the light bulbs,(i) the median, [1]
(ii) the 12th
percentile. [1]
(b) Light bulbs that could not last for at least 72 months will be destroyed.Calculate the percentage of light bulbs that will have to be destroyed. [2]
(c) Copy and complete the grouped data frequency table of the lifespan of thelight bulbs. [2]

(d) Using your grouped frequency table, calculate an estimate of (i) the mean lifespan of the light bulbs, [2]
(ii) the standard deviation. [2]
(e) If two light bulbs are selected at random from these 50 light bulbs, findthe probability that both of the light bulbs will last more than 60 months. [2]
