Every sheet in June 1958

The same date always regenerates the same five questions, so a sheet you print today is the sheet a classmate prints tomorrow.

  1. 1st June 1958y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 9, y = 24. Work out y when x = 36.
  2. 2nd June 1958In a vector proof you find that vector PQ = 2a - 5b and vector RS = 8a - 20b. What does this show about PQ and RS?
  3. 3rd June 1958A bag holds 2 red and n blue counters. The probability of taking a red is 2/7. Work out n.
  4. 4th June 1958On a histogram, a 4-wide bar and a 16-wide bar have the same frequency density of 3. How many more values are in the wider class?
  5. 5th June 1958Simplify sqrt(20) + sqrt(20), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
  6. 6th June 1958Work out the coordinates of the turning point of y = x^2 + 4x - 15.
  7. 7th June 1958A train slows steadily from 35 m/s to rest in 10 seconds. Work out its deceleration.
  8. 8th June 1958A cuboid measures 5 cm by 13 cm by 7 cm. Work out the length of the longest diagonal inside it, to 1 decimal place.
  9. 9th June 1958A bag holds 3 red and 7 blue counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given the first was red, what is the probability the second is blue?
  10. 10th June 1958A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 1.2, one 10 units wide with density 0.6. How many values in total?
  11. 11th June 1958A rectangle is 30 cm by 16 cm, each correct to the nearest cm. Work out the upper bound of its area.
  12. 12th June 1958Simplify (x^2 - 4x + 3)/(x - 3).
  13. 13th June 1958y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 3, y = 75. Work out y when x = 5.
  14. 14th June 1958A cuboid measures 10 cm by 12 cm by 10 cm tall. Work out the angle between its longest internal diagonal and the base, to 1 decimal place.
  15. 15th June 1958A bag holds 3 red, 6 blue and 2 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?

  19. 19th June 1958y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 3, y = 81. Work out y when x = 4.
  20. 20th June 1958The point (5, 12) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 169. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
  21. 21st June 1958A bag holds 10 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 2/9. Work out r.
  22. 22nd June 1958A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 2.5, one 5 units wide with density 3.5. How many values in total?
  23. 23rd June 1958A block has mass 350 g (to the nearest 10 g) and volume 16 cm^3 (to the nearest cm^3). Work out the upper bound of its density, to 2 decimal places.
  24. 24th June 1958Make x the subject of 7x + 8 = y(x + 8).
