Every sheet in June 1993

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 1993Expand and simplify (4 + sqrt(10))(4 - sqrt(10)).
  2. 2nd June 1993Solve 8x^2 - 10x - 3 = 0.
  3. 3rd June 1993y is directly proportional to x^3. When x = 2, y = 16. Work out y when x = 5.
  4. 4th June 1993A cuboid measures 7 cm by 15 cm by 4 cm. Work out the length of the longest diagonal inside it, to 1 decimal place.
  5. 5th June 1993A bag holds 5 red and 7 blue counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given the first was red, what is the probability the second is blue?

  9. 9th June 1993y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 9, y = 6. Work out y when x = 64.
  10. 10th June 1993A cuboid measures 13 cm by 11 cm by 14 cm tall. Work out the angle between its longest internal diagonal and the base, to 1 decimal place.
  11. 11th June 1993A bag holds 7 red, 4 blue and 4 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
  12. 12th June 1993On a histogram, a 10-wide bar and a 30-wide bar have the same frequency density of 1.5. How many more values are in the wider class?
  13. 13th June 1993x = 91 and y = 20, each correct to the nearest whole number. Work out the upper bound of x - y.
  14. 14th June 1993Solve x^2 + y^2 = 25 and y = x - 1 simultaneously.

  22. 22nd June 1993In a circle theorem proof, a step uses the fact that OA and OB are both radii of the circle, so triangle OAB is isosceles. State the reason being quoted.
  23. 23rd June 1993The probability of winning a game is 2/5. A player expects 8 wins. How many games did they play?
