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

  1. 1st April 1963In a circle theorem proof, a step uses the fact that a triangle is drawn from the ends of a diameter to a point on the circle. State the reason being quoted.
  2. 2nd April 1963The probability of winning a game is 4/5. A player expects 72 wins. How many games did they play?
  3. 3rd April 1963On 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?
  4. 4th April 1963Simplify sqrt(45) + sqrt(20), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
  5. 5th April 1963Solve 4x^2 - x - 3 = 0.
