4. (a) The selling price of a bag of Potato cat food
1M + 1M
1A
(b) The new selling price of a bag of Potato cat food
∴ The show owner will not make a profit. 1A f.t.
5. Let x g and y g be the weights of a pen and a ruler respectively.
So, we have and . 1A + 1A
Therefore, 1M
i.e. x = 12
∴ The required weight
1A
6. AC = 2(2) cm = 4 cm
In △ABC,
(Pyth. theorem) 1M
(∵ AB = BC)
cm 1A
∴ The required area
1M

7. (a)
1M
∴ OA is perpendicular to OB. 1A f.t.
(b) ∵ AOC is a straight line.
∴ Polar angle of C
1A
∵ Area of △ABC = 18 square units
∴ 1M
1A
∴ The polar coordinates of C are (6,).
8. (a) Coordinates of Y 1A
Coordinates of Z 1A
(b) XY
XZ
∵ 1M
∴ △XYZ is not an equilateral triangle. 1A f.t.
9. (a) (∠s at a pt.) 1M
1A
(b) Total number of students in the school before the new students join
1A
Let q be the angle of the sector representing cat.
1M
∴ The angle of the sector representing cat is not an integer. 1A f.t.
10. (a) The volume of the cone
1M
1A
(b) (i) Let h cm be the height of the frustum under the plane surface of
the hemisphere, and V cm3 be the volume of the cone which has
been cut away.
Refer to the figure below, we have
1M
= 24
∵ The original cone and the removed cone are similar.
∴ 1M
Alternative solution:
Let r cm be the base radius of the cone which has been cut away.
By the property of similar triangles, we have
1M
∴
∴ The required volume iscm3. 1A
(ii) The number of cubes that can be made
1M
∴ Kenny’s claim is agreed. 1A f.t.
11. (a) (i) ∵ The mode of the weights of the group is 58 kg.
∴ 1A
∵ The median of the weights of the group is 58 kg.
∴
1A
(ii) The mean weight
kg
1A
(b) (i) P(the weight of the selected student is the same as the mode)

12. (a) In △ABD and △EBC,
AB = EB 1M
BD = BC
(prop. of equil.△) 1M
∴ △ABD△EBC (SAS) 1
(b) (i) ∵ (prop. of equil.△) 1A
∴ (corr.∠s, ~△s) 1A
∴ (corr.∠s,△s) 1A
(ii) ∵
∴
∴ (corr.∠s,△s) 1A
In △EBC,
(∠sum of △)
∵
∴ BE = CE (sides opp. equal∠s)
∴ △BCE is an isosceles triangle. 1A f.t.

In △ADE,
∵ AD = AE
∴ (base∠s, isos.△)
(∠sum of △)
(int.∠s, AD // BC)
15. CD
For I:
The interior angle of a regular 8-sided polygon
(∠sum of polygon)
∴ I is true.
For II:
∵ A regular 8-sided polygon repeats itself 8 times in one complete revolution.
∴ The order of rotational symmetry is 8.
∴ II is true.
For III:
Refer to the figure below.
∴ III is true.
∴ The answer is D.
