Every sheet in April 1992

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 1992A rectangle is 29 cm by 9 cm, each correct to the nearest cm. Work out the upper bound of its area.
  2. 2nd April 1992In an algebraic proof, how would you write three consecutive even numbers in terms of an integer n?
  3. 3rd April 1992y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 16, y = 32. Work out y when x = 81.
  4. 4th April 1992In a vector proof you find that vector PQ = 2a + 6b and vector RS = 10a + 30b. What does this show about PQ and RS?
  5. 5th April 1992A bag holds 7 red and n blue counters. The probability of taking a red is 7/15. Work out n.
  6. 6th April 1992On a histogram, a 5-wide bar and a 10-wide bar have the same frequency density of 3. How many more values are in the wider class?
  7. 7th April 1992Expand and simplify (4 + sqrt(10))(4 - sqrt(10)).
  8. 8th April 1992Make x the subject of 5x + 8 = y(x + 8).

  10. 10th April 1992A cuboid measures 5 cm by 12 cm by 12 cm. Work out the length of the longest diagonal inside it, to 1 decimal place.
  11. 11th April 1992A bag holds 4 red and 5 blue counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given the first was red, what is the probability the second is blue?
  12. 12th April 1992A histogram has two bars: one 20 units wide with frequency density 2.5, one 10 units wide with density 1.4. How many values in total?
  13. 13th April 1992A block has mass 220 g (to the nearest 10 g) and volume 21 cm^3 (to the nearest cm^3). Work out the upper bound of its density, to 2 decimal places.
  14. 14th April 1992Write 3/(x + 3) + 4/(x - 5) as a single fraction.
  15. 15th April 1992y is inversely proportional to x^2. When x = 2, y = 48. Work out y when x = 4.
