Every sheet in June 1965

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 1965A cuboid measures 5 cm by 13 cm by 13 cm. Work out the length of the longest diagonal inside it, to 1 decimal place.
  2. 2nd June 1965A bag holds 6 red and 4 blue counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given the first was red, what is the probability the second is blue?
  3. 3rd June 1965On 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?
  4. 4th June 1965Rationalise the denominator of 12/sqrt(2), giving your answer in its simplest form.
  5. 5th June 1965Simplify (x^2 - 3x + 2)/(x - 2).
  6. 6th June 1965y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 4, y = 320. Work out y when x = 5.
  7. 7th June 1965A cuboid measures 12 cm by 10 cm by 5 cm tall. Work out the angle between its longest internal diagonal and the base, to 1 decimal place.
  8. 8th June 1965A bag holds 4 red, 4 blue and 6 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
  9. 9th June 1965A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 2.5, one 10 units wide with density 0.6. How many values in total?
  10. 10th June 1965Simplify sqrt(12) + sqrt(108), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
  11. 11th June 1965In an algebraic proof, how would you write a multiple of 5 in terms of an integer n?
  12. 12th June 1965y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 36, y = 12. Work out y when x = 49.
  13. 13th June 1965The point (12, 16) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 400. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.
  14. 14th June 1965A bag holds 11 counters, r of them red. Two are taken without replacement and P(both red) = 21/55. Work out r.
  15. 15th June 1965On a histogram, a 10-wide bar and a 40-wide bar have the same frequency density of 3. How many more values are in the wider class?
  16. 16th June 1965A rectangle is 29 cm by 18 cm, each correct to the nearest cm. Work out the upper bound of its area.
  17. 17th June 1965Make x the subject of 4x + 5 = y(x + 5).
  18. 18th June 1965A train slows steadily from 13 m/s to rest in 8 seconds. Work out its deceleration.
  19. 19th June 1965In a circle theorem proof, a step uses the fact that the alternate segment theorem is being proved. State the reason being quoted.
  20. 20th June 1965The probability of winning a game is 1/5. A player expects 7 wins. How many games did they play?
  21. 21st June 1965A histogram has two bars: one 20 units wide with frequency density 0.4, one 10 units wide with density 3. How many values in total?
  22. 22nd June 1965Expand and simplify (4 + sqrt(5))(4 - sqrt(5)).
  23. 23rd June 1965Write 2/(x - 1) + 2/(x - 6) as a single fraction.
  24. 24th June 1965y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 3, y = 4. Work out y when x = 2.
  25. 25th June 1965In a vector proof you find that vector PQ = 3a + 3b and vector RS = 12a + 12b. What does this show about PQ and RS?
