  1. 1
    Perpendicular Lines and the equation of a tangent3 marks

    The point (9, 40) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 1681. Work out the gradient of the tangent to the circle at that point.

  2. 2
    Conditional Probability3 marks

    A bag holds 4 red, 5 blue and 3 green counters. Two are taken without replacement. Given neither is green, what is the probability both are red?
