Task 1
A description of color theory using sets is given by Pray in 1963. Where white color is considered as
universal set, set having all colors, and represented as,
W = {x : 4000A < x < 7000A}
Explanation
We know, Y = R U G
Therefore, The set notation for color yellow(Y) is
Y = {x : 5100A < x < 7000A}
Page 1 of 34
Q2 Set notation for colors blue(B), cyan (C) and magenta(M) is given as A2
B = {x : 4000A < x < 5100A} C1
C = {x : 4000A < x < 5950A}
M = {x : 4000A < x < 5100A or 5950A < x < 7000A}
Explanation
Given,
R = {x : 5950A < x < 7000A}
G = {x : 5100A < x < 5950A}
B = {x : 4000A < x < 5100A}
Consider
C = {x : 4000A < x < 5950A}
Since,
lower value for C is 4000A also lower value for B and higher value for C is 5950A also
higher value for G. Also C contains all values between them,
So C = BU G
Similarly,
For M = {x : 4000A < x < 5100A or 5950A < x < 7000A}
M=RUBUG
NOTE:
Award 1.5 mark for each correct set representation.

Task 2
Different kinds of table mats are used on dining tables for various purposes. Given below is
a round dining table with diameter 49 inches and square table mats has to be chosen for it
such that,
No part of the table mat is outside the table’s upper surface.
No part of one table mat touches the other table mat.
Only four table mats should be on the table.

Page 4 of 34
Q1 Determine the maximum integer side of the table mat that ts the description. A3
C1
Explanation
Since no table mat will touch the other table mat therefore there will be no overlaps.
Number of table mats required = 4
Hence, Total area of table mats = 4s2
According to point 1,
4s2 1886.5
s2 471.625
Taking square root both sides
s 21.72
Maximum integer value side can take = 21 inches.
NOTE:
Award 1 mark for the representation.

Task 5
A 400-meter track represents the perimeter around two congruent semicircles, where the turns and
straightaways are each one hundred meters.
Explanation
Since both turns are same. They both will have same radius.
Let the radius = m
Given, circumference = 100 m
= 100
= = 31.85m
Page 16 of 34
During a racing event multiple players run on the running track within their lanes at the
same time. Width of the lane each player runs onto is 1.067 m. The innermost lane on
track is numbered 1 and the player running on it covers 400 meters in one lap around the
track.
Image 1
Page 17 of 34
Q2 Find whether the distance covered in one lap by the player in lane 2 is less than or more C1
than or equal to the player in lane 1? D3
Explanation
Therefore total distance that player in lane 2 will cover = 2 x 103.4 +2 x 100 = 406.8 m

1 Mark for logically putting up the arguments
Page 18 of 34
Q3 Using the answer from the previous part, determine how ahead or behind the starting D2
position of player in lane 2 should be if they both have the same nish point?
Explanation
Therefore total distance that player in lane 2 will cover = 2 x 103.4 +2 x 100 = 406.8 m
NOTE:
Accept answer with an error of -0.1 and +0.1
Page 19 of 34

2. nish line such that nish point for all players is same
Explanation
Page 20 of 34
In above image
Total distance for player 1 = 400 m
Total distance for player 2 = 406.8 m
