Every sheet in June 1960

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 1960In an algebraic proof, how would you write an even number in terms of an integer n?
  2. 2nd June 1960y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 3, y = 12. Work out y when x = 2.
  3. 3rd June 1960A cuboid measures 6 cm by 14 cm by 9 cm tall. Work out the angle between its longest internal diagonal and the base, to 1 decimal place.
  4. 4th June 1960A bag holds 4 red, 7 blue and 6 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
  5. 5th June 1960On a histogram, a 4-wide bar and a 8-wide bar have the same frequency density of 1.5. How many more values are in the wider class?
  6. 6th June 1960A block has mass 420 g (to the nearest 10 g) and volume 6 cm^3 (to the nearest cm^3). Work out the upper bound of its density, to 2 decimal places.
  7. 7th June 1960Make x the subject of 4x + 4 = y(x + 4).
  8. 8th June 1960y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 2, y = 40. Work out y when x = 4.
  9. 9th June 1960The 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.
  10. 10th June 1960A bag holds 11 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 2/11. Work out r.
  11. 11th June 1960A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 2, one 25 units wide with density 1.4. How many values in total?
  12. 12th June 1960x = 97 and y = 21, each correct to the nearest whole number. Work out the upper bound of x - y.
  13. 13th June 1960Write 2/(x - 6) + 4/(x + 3) as a single fraction.
  14. 14th June 1960y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 36, y = 42. Work out y when x = 64.
  15. 15th June 1960In a circle theorem proof, a step uses the fact that opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are being proved. State the reason being quoted.
  16. 16th June 1960The probability of winning a game is 1/2. A player expects 40 wins. How many games did they play?
  17. 17th June 1960On a histogram, a 4-wide bar and a 8-wide bar have the same frequency density of 3. How many more values are in the wider class?
  18. 18th June 1960A car covers 110 m (to the nearest 10 m) in 8 s (to the nearest second). Work out the lower bound of its speed, to 2 decimal places.
  19. 19th June 1960Solve 12x^2 + 19x + 5 = 0.
  20. 20th June 1960A train slows steadily from 38 m/s to rest in 10 seconds. Work out its deceleration.
  21. 21st June 1960In a vector proof you find that vector PQ = 2a - 5b and vector RS = 8a - 20b. What does this show about PQ and RS?
  22. 22nd June 1960A bag holds 6 red and n blue counters. The probability of taking a red is 3/7. Work out n.
  23. 23rd June 1960A histogram has two bars: one 10 units wide with frequency density 1.2, one 20 units wide with density 1.4. How many values in total?
  24. 24th June 1960Rationalise the denominator of 132/sqrt(11), giving your answer in its simplest form.
  25. 25th June 1960f(x) = 6x + 3. Work out the inverse function f^-1(x).
  26. 26th June 1960y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 5, y = 16. Work out y when x = 4.

  28. 28th June 1960A bag holds 9 red and 4 blue counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given the first was red, what is the probability the second is blue?
  29. 29th June 1960On a histogram, a 10-wide bar and a 30-wide bar have the same frequency density of 2. How many more values are in the wider class?
  30. 30th June 1960Simplify sqrt(48) + sqrt(12), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
