Attempt all questions from section A and any four questions from section B. All working,
including rough work, must be clearly shown and must be done on the same sheet
as the rest of the answer.
Omission of essential working will result in loss of marks.
The intended marks for questions or parts of questions are given in bracket []
B C
Question 2
a) Factorise the given expression completely, 21x2 – 8x – 4 [4]
b) Draw the graph of 3x – 2y + 6 = 0. The graph meets the
coordinate axes at A and B respectively. Write down
the coordinates of A and B. Find the area of the triangle
formed between the line and the coordinate axes. [6]
Question 3
a) Solve x + 3y = 5 and 7x – 8y = 6 [3]
b) If θ is an acute angle, solve for θ: (sec θ – 2) (√3 tan 2θ – 1) = 0 [4]
c) Three cubes of silver with sides 6cm, 8cm and 10cm are melted
and recast into a single cube. Find the cost of coating the surface
of the new cube with gold at the rate of Rs.4.50 per cm2. [3]
Question 4
a) i) Find the median of the following data: 51, 35, 91, 29, 60,
55, 72, 63, 82, 85.
ii) If the number 63 is replaced by 36, find the new median.
iii) If the number 82 is removed from the data, what is the
new median? [4]
b) If √3 tan 2θ – 1 = 0, find θ and hence find
sin2 3θ – 2cos2 2θ + tan2 4θ [3]
c) Evaluate + - sin 280 sec 620+ cosec2 300 [3]
Question 8
a) Prove that cos2 300 + sin 300 + tan2 45 + sin3 900 = 3 [4]
b) The mean of eight variates is 10. Seven of them are 6, 6, 8, 10,
10, 8, 7. Find the 8th variate. [3]
c) If a + b + c = 12 and a2 + b2 + c2 = 100. Find ab + bc + ca [3]
Question 9
a) Evaluate [3]
b) A rectangular container of length 20cm, breadth 15cm and
height 12cm contains sufficient water to submerge a cube
of side 9cm. Find the rise in level of the water in the container
when the solid is completely immersed in it. [3]
c) Solve + = and + = [4]
Question 10
a) Solve 2x – y – 1 = 0 and 2x + y = 9 graphically. [6]
b) The mean of 50 observations was 180. It was observed that the
value of 170 was wrongly copied as 140. Find the correct mean. [4]
