Every sheet in June 1968

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 1968The curve y = cos x° is drawn for 0 <= x <= 360. Write down the value of y when x = 270.
  2. 2nd June 1968A train slows steadily from 18 m/s to rest in 10 seconds. Work out its deceleration.
  3. 3rd June 1968In a circle theorem proof, a step uses the fact that the angle in a semicircle is being proved. State the reason being quoted.
  4. 4th June 1968The probability of winning a game is 1/4. A player expects 6 wins. How many games did they play?
