Question 3 Report
A fair die is tossed 60 times and the results are recorded in the table
| Number of die | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
| Frequency | 15 | 10 | 14 | 2 | 8 | 11 |
Find the probability of obtaining a prime number.
Answer Details
A prime number is a number greater than 1 that is only divisible by 1 and itself. The prime numbers on a die are 2, 3, and 5. We know that the die is fair, which means that each number has an equal probability of being rolled. There are a total of 60 rolls, so we can use the frequency table to count the number of times each prime number appears on the die. The frequency of the number 2 is 10, the frequency of the number 3 is 14, and the frequency of the number 5 is 8. Therefore, the total number of times a prime number was rolled is: 10 + 14 + 8 = 32 The probability of rolling a prime number on a fair die is the total number of times a prime number was rolled divided by the total number of rolls: 32/60 = 8/15 Therefore, the answer is option D, 8/15.

Question 7 Report
In how many ways can 8 persons be seated on a bench if only three seats are available?
Answer Details
The first person has 8 choices for a seat, the second person has 7 choices remaining, and the third person has 6 choices. However, the order in which they choose their seats does not matter, so we need to divide by the number of ways that the three people can be arranged. This is given by 3 factorial (3!), which is 3 x 2 x 1 = 6. Therefore, the total number of ways that 8 persons can be seated on a bench if only three seats are available is: 8 x 7 x 6 / 3! = 336 So the correct answer is (C) 336.

Find the modal class mark.
Answer Details
To find the modal class mark, we need to first identify the class with the highest frequency, which in this case is the class with marks 20-29 (16 students). The modal class mark is the midpoint of this class, which is calculated by adding the lower and upper limits of the class and dividing by 2: Modal class mark = (20 + 29) / 2 = 24.5 Therefore, the modal class mark is 24.5, which is option (C).

Question 18 Report
For what range of values of x is x\(^2\) - 2x - 3 ≤ 0
Answer Details
To solve the inequality x\(^2\) - 2x - 3 ≤ 0, we can use factoring or the quadratic formula. Factoring gives us (x - 3)(x + 1) ≤ 0, which means that the expression is less than or equal to zero when x is between or equal to -1 and 3, since the factors change sign at these values. Therefore, the correct answer is {x: -1 ≤ x ≤ 3}. Alternatively, we can use the quadratic formula to find the roots of the equation x\(^2\) - 2x - 3 = 0, which are x = -1 and x = 3. Since the quadratic function is a parabola that opens upward, it is negative in the interval between these two roots. Therefore, the expression x\(^2\) - 2x - 3 is less than or equal to zero when x is between or equal to -1 and 3.
Question 19 Report
A body of mass 15kg is placed on a smooth plane which is inclined at 60° to the horizontal. If the box is at rest,
calculate the normal reaction to the plane. [ Take g = 10m/s\(^2\) ]
Answer Details
To find the normal reaction to the plane, we can use the following approach: Step 1: Draw a diagram of the situation. In this case, we have a body of mass 15kg on a smooth plane inclined at 60° to the horizontal. The weight of the body acts vertically downwards and is equal to mg, where m is the mass of the body and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Step 2: Resolve the weight of the body into two components, one perpendicular to the plane and the other parallel to the plane. The component of the weight perpendicular to the plane is equal to mg cos 60°, which is equal to (15 kg) x (10 m/s\(^2\)) x cos 60° = 75 N. Step 3: The normal reaction to the plane is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the component of the weight perpendicular to the plane. Therefore, the normal reaction to the plane is 75 N in the upward direction. Step 4: Check the options given in the question and select the one that matches the value obtained in Step 3. In this case, the correct option is 75N. Therefore, the normal reaction to the plane is 75 N.

Question 23 Report
Find the radius of the circle 2x\(^2\) - 4x + 2y\(^2\) - 6y -2 = 0.
Answer Details
To find the radius of a circle from its equation in general form, we need to rewrite the equation in the standard form of a circle, which is: (x - h)\(^2\) + (y - k)\(^2\) = r\(^2\) Where (h, k) is the center of the circle, and r is its radius. To do this, we complete the square for both x and y terms in the given equation. We start by rearranging the terms as follows: 2x\(^2\) - 4x + 2y\(^2\) - 6y -2 = 0 2x\(^2\) - 4x + 2y\(^2\) - 6y = 2 Now, we need to add and subtract appropriate constants to complete the square for x and y terms separately. For the x terms, we take half of the coefficient of x (-4/2 = -2) and square it to get 4. So, we add and subtract 4 to the equation: 2x\(^2\) - 4x + 4 - 4 + 2y\(^2\) - 6y = 2 We can now group the first three terms and factor it as a perfect square: 2(x - 1)\(^2\) + 2y\(^2\) - 6y - 2 = 0 For the y terms, we take half of the coefficient of y (-6/2 = -3) and square it to get 9. So, we add and subtract 9 to the equation: 2(x - 1)\(^2\) + 2(y - 3)\(^2\) - 2 - 9 = 0 2(x - 1)\(^2\) + 2(y - 3)\(^2\) = 11 Now, we have the equation in the standard form of a circle, where the center is at (1, 3) and the radius is the square root of 11/2. We can simplify this expression to get: sqrt(11/2) = sqrt(11)/sqrt(2) = sqrt(2)*sqrt(11)/2 Therefore, the answer is option (C), 17/√2.

The first term of an AP is 4 and the sum of the first three terms is 18. Find the product of the first three terms
Answer Details
Let the common difference of the AP be denoted by d. Then, the first three terms of the AP are 4, 4 + d, and 4 + 2d, respectively. The sum of the first three terms of the AP is given as 18. Therefore, we have: 4 + (4 + d) + (4 + 2d) = 18 Simplifying the above equation, we get: 3d + 12 = 18 3d = 6 d = 2 Hence, the common difference of the AP is 2. Therefore, the first three terms of the AP are: 4, 6, 8 The product of the first three terms is: 4 x 6 x 8 = 192 Therefore, the answer is 192.

Question 32 Report
Using binomial expansion of ( 1 + x)\(^6\) = 1 + 6x + 15x\(^2\) + 20x\(^3\) + 6x\(^5\) + x)\(^6\), find, correct to three decimal places, the value of (1.998))\(^6\)
Answer Details
To use the binomial expansion of (1 + x)\(^6\), we substitute x = 1.998, which gives: (1 + 1.998)\(^6\) = 1 + 6(1.998) + 15(1.998)\(^2\) + 20(1.998)\(^3\) + 6(1.998)\(^5\) + (1.998)\(^6\) We are interested in finding the value of (1.998)\(^6\), which is the last term on the right-hand side of the equation. We can solve for it by subtracting the other terms from both sides of the equation: (1.998)\(^6\) = (1 + 1.998)\(^6\) - 1 - 6(1.998) - 15(1.998)\(^2\) - 20(1.998)\(^3\) - 6(1.998)\(^5\) Using a calculator, we can evaluate the right-hand side of the equation to get: (1.998)\(^6\) ≈ 63.167 Therefore, the correct answer is option B, 63.167, rounded to three decimal places. Explanation: The binomial expansion of (1 + x)\(^6\) is a formula that allows us to expand the expression into a sum of terms involving powers of x. By substituting x = 1.998, we can use the formula to find the value of (1.998)\(^6\). We then use a calculator to evaluate the expression to obtain the final answer.

A binary operation * is defined on the set of real numbers, R, by
P * q = \(\frac{q^2 - p^2}{2pq}\). Find 3 * 2
Answer Details
The binary operation * is defined as: P * q = (q^2 - p^2) / (2pq). To find 3 * 2, we need to substitute the values of p and q in the equation: 3 * 2 = (2^2 - 3^2) / (2 * 3 * 2) = (-5) / (12) = -5/12 So, the answer is -5/12.

Question 35 Report
If 2i +pj and 4i -2j are perpendicular, find the value of p.
Answer Details
To find the value of p, we need to use the concept of perpendicular vectors. Two vectors are perpendicular if and only if the dot product of the two vectors is equal to zero. The dot product of two vectors can be calculated as the product of the magnitudes of the two vectors and the cosine of the angle between them. If the angle between the two vectors is 90 degrees, the cosine of the angle is zero and the dot product is also zero. Therefore, to find the value of p, we need to calculate the dot product of the two vectors, 2i + pj and 4i - 2j, and set it equal to zero. The dot product of two vectors (a, b) and (c, d) is given by: (a, b) * (c, d) = ac + bd So, the dot product of 2i + pj and 4i - 2j is: (2i + pj) * (4i - 2j) = (2 * 4) + (p * -2) = 8 - 2p = 0 Therefore, 2p = 8 and p = 4. So, the value of p is 4.

Given that \( M = \begin{pmatrix} 3 & 2 \\ -1 & 4 \end{pmatrix} \) and \( N = \begin{pmatrix} 5 & 6 \\ -2 & -3 \end{pmatrix} \), calculate \( (3M - 2N) \)
Answer Details
To calculate 3M - 2N, we need to multiply each matrix by its scalar factor and then subtract the results. First, we have: 3M = 3 x \(\begin{pmatrix} 3 & 2 \\ -1 & 4 \end{pmatrix}\) = \(\begin{pmatrix} 9 & 6 \\ -3 & 12 \end{pmatrix}\) Next, we have: 2N = 2 x \(\begin{pmatrix} 5 & 6 \\ -2 & -3 \end{pmatrix}\) = \(\begin{pmatrix} 10 & 12 \\ -4 & -6 \end{pmatrix}\) Now we can subtract these two matrices to get: 3M - 2N = \(\begin{pmatrix} 9 & 6 \\ -3 & 12 \end{pmatrix}\) - \(\begin{pmatrix} 10 & 12 \\ -4 & -6 \end{pmatrix}\) = \(\begin{pmatrix} -1 & -6 \\ 1 & 18 \end{pmatrix}\) Therefore, the correct answer is (B) \(\begin{pmatrix} -1 & -6 \\ 1 & 18 \end{pmatrix}\).
