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 1964A right-angled triangle has sides 5 cm, 12 cm and 13 cm. Work out the angle opposite the 5 cm side, to 1 decimal place.
  2. 2nd April 196425 students study Spanish and 11 of those also study Art. One Spanish student is picked at random. Work out the probability they study Art.
