the boxes provided)
A1
A1 The perimeter of a rectangle with integer edge-lengths is 10cm What is the largest area (in cm2) that the rectangle can have?
A2
A2 A store increases the price of a shirt by 10%, then reduces the cost by $10 The price is then 90% of the original price Find the original price
A3
A3 At 1PM Isaac had done 1/3 of his homework At 2PM he had done 1/2 his homework
He works at a constant rate all the time At what time did he finish his homework?
A4
A4 Melissa drives for 11 minutes, the first minute at 10 km/h, the second minute at 20 km/h, and so on until the 11th minute at 110 km/h What is the total distance (in km) she travelled?
A5
A5 Shaan takes a piece of paper 10cm square, and cuts circular holes of radius 1cm in
it, not overlapping, so that more than half the area of the paper is removed What
is the smallest number of holes that he could cut?
Trang 3A6 Let A(0, 0), B(3, 5), C(3, 0), D(5, 0) and E(5, −5) be five points in the Cartesian plane The pentagon ABCDE and its reflection in the x-axis are combined to make
a seven sided figure What is the area of this figure?
A7
A7 A lawn 10 metres square receives 1 cm of rain over its entire surface Assuming that the volume of each raindrop is 1 cubic millimetre, the number of raindrops that fell
on the lawn can be written as a one followed by a number of zeros How many zeros come after the 1?
A8
A8 The number 12 has the strange property that the next number (13) is prime, the number after that (14) is twice a prime (since 14 = 2 × 7) and the number after that (15) is three times a prime (since 15 = 3 × 5) Find a number N bigger than 12 so that N + 1 is prime, N + 2 is twice a prime, and N + 3 is three times a prime
A9
A9 Three positive integers a, b, c are such that 0 < a < b < c and b − a, c − a and c − b are all squares of integers What is the smallest possible value of c?
Trang 4PART B: LONG ANSWER QUESTIONS
B1 You and your friends want to order two 2-topping pizzas There is a selection of 5 toppings, but one of your friends is picky and doesn’t want any toppings repeated, even if they are on different pizzas How many ways can you order the two pizzas,
if each pizza has precisely two toppings?
Trang 5B2 An ant is walking along a spiral, as shown in the figure The spiral consists of eight quarter-circles joined together, so that:
• Arc AP1 has its centre in B
• Arc P1P2 has its centre in C
• Arc P2P3 has its centre in D
• Arc P3P4 has its centre in A
• Arc P4P5 has its centre in B
• Arc P5P6 has its centre in C
• Arc P6P7 has its centre in D
• Arc P7P8 has its centre in A

Trang 6B3 A Greek cross is a figure made up of five squares of side 1cm joined along the edges
as pictured below:
A rectangular piece of flooring is tiled with 4 × 6 = 24 copies of a Greek cross, along with some fragments to fill up the edges as in the figure Find the exact length and width in cm of the rectangle
Trang 7B4 Arrange the numbers 1 to 15 in a row, so that each adjacent pair adds to a perfect square For example, you might try 15,1,3,6,10 which works so far because 15 + 1 =
16 = 42, 1 + 3 = 4 = 22, 3 + 6 = 9 = 32, and 6 + 10 = 16 = 42, but then you would get stuck because you can’t find a different number to add to 10 to give you
a perfect square
Trang 8B5 The following hat is made with sides of the same length and with right angles: Starting with a square, we can create a new figure by replacing each side of the square by a hat, so that each vertical side is replaced by a hat pointing outside the square and each horizontal side is replaced by a hat pointing inside the square, as shown below:
The following sequence of figures was created applying the same process to each new figure
Suppose the perimeter of the first figure, the square, is 4 cm
(a) What is the perimeter (in cm) of figure 4?
(b) What is the area (in cm2) of figure 4?
