2. Which of the following is/are true? C
(a) Is false because it is a geometric sequence with common ratio of 2
(b) Is true since it follows the Fibonacci sequence in which you have two add the two
consecutive term to get the next term ...3,5,(3+5=)8,(5+8=)13, (13+8=)21...
Thus, 34 is the next term which is 13+21.
(c) Is true since it is an arithmetic sequence with common difference of 4.
(d) Is false because the common ratio of the given geometric sequence is 0.2
3. Two rectangles measuring 6 cm × 7 cm and 8 cm × 9 cm
overlap as shown. The region shaded black has an area of 62
cm2
. What is the area of the gray region? C
Since the area of 8cm by 9cm rectangle is 72cm2
, the
area of the white rectangle is 72cm2
-62cm2
=10cm2
.
Hence the area of the gray region is (7cm x 6m) –
10cm2
= 32cm2

5. The base of a pyramid has edges. In terms of n, what is the difference between the
number of edges of the pyramid and the number of its faces? B
EDGES: A pyramid whose base has n edges also has n edges rising to its apex
and hence 2n edges in total.
FACES: It has n + 1 faces, including the base.
So the difference between the number of edges of the pyramid and the number
of its faces is
2𝑛 − (𝑛 + 1) = 𝑛 − 1

width of rectangle 2.
Then, both rectangles have length of x + y cm.

12. An athletics club has junior (i.e. boy or girl) members and adult members. The ratio of
girls to boys to adults is 3 : 4 : 9 and there are 16 more adult members than junior
members. In total, how many members does the club have?
Nine-sixteenths of the total club members are adults and seven-sixteenths are
junior. So two-sixteenths of the total, the difference between the number of adults
and juniors, is sixteen. Thus, one-sixteenth of the total membership is 8.
The total membership therefore is 16 × 8 = 128.
Alternative solution:
Let x be the total number of members.
Let y be the common ratio of the partitive proportion.
3𝑦 + 4𝑦 + 9𝑦 = 𝑥
9𝑦 = 7𝑦 + 16
2𝑦 = 16
𝑦 = 8
Substitute the value of y to solve for x:
3(8) + 4(8) + 9(8) = 𝑥
24 + 32 + 72 = 𝑥
𝑥 = 128

7. 19. Not all characters in the Woodentops series tell the truth. When Mr Plod asked them,
“How many people are there in the Woodentops family?”, four of them replied as
follows:
Jenny: “An even number.”
Willie: “An odd number.”
Sam: “A prime number.”
Mrs Scrubitt: “A number which is the product of two integers greater than one.”
How many of these four were telling the truth?
The number of people in the Woodentops family is a positive integer
which is greater than one.
Every such integer is either even or odd but not both. So precisely, one of
Jenny and Willie is telling the truth, but we don’t know which.
Also, every integer greater than one is either a prime number or the
product of two integers greater than one (composite number), but not both. So
precisely, one of Sam and Mrs. Scrubitt is telling the truth, but again we don’t
know which.
It follows that exactly two of them were telling the truth, though we don’t
know which two.
