1 A banker is helping a client to invest $100,000 in stocks. He shortlisted three stocks; high
risk stock H, moderate risk stock M and low risk stock L with a projected rate of return of
12%, 8% and 4% per annum respectively.
He aimed to help his client achieve an overall projected rate of return of 10% per annum
from the $100,000 investment with a portfolio such that the amount invested in stock L is
equal to the total sum of 20% of the amount invested in stock H and 10% of the amount
invested in stock M. Assuming that all the money were invested, determine how much did
the banker invest in each of the three stocks. [3]

11 A research team would like to examine the growth of a certain bacteria in a controlled
environment. Beginning with a sample amounting to A0 of this bacteria, the
researchers noted down the amount of bacteria found in this environment at the end of
each day, such that A1 represents the amount present at the end of the first day and A2
for the second day.

(i) It was found that the amount of bacteria present at the end of k th day, denoted by
Ak , relies on the amount present at the end of the previous day, with the relationship
Ak Ak 1 360k 2 .
Use this relation to find expressions for A1 , A2 and A3 , leaving each in terms of
A0 . Hence, or otherwise, show that the amount of bacteria present at the end of n th
day, An is given by An A0 an 3 bn 2 cn , where a, b and c are constants to be

The research team later discovered an antibody to curb the growth of the bacteria. With
the introduction of the antibody, the amount of bacteria present (measured in cells per
2n
ml) in the new controlled environment, P (n) is given by P (n) ¦ (450 nr ) , where
r 1
n is a positive integer that denotes the number of days from which the antibody is
administered.
(ii) (a) Find the number of days after the antibody is administered before it
effectively reduces the amount of bacteria present. [3]
(b) Calculate the total number of days required for the bacteria to be
completely wiped out in the controlled environment. [2]
Based on the chemical composition of the antibody, the team formulated a synthetic
medication. During the clinical trial where the synthetic medication is used, the amount
of bacteria present (measured in cells per ml) in the experimental controlled
environment, Q(n) can be modelled by Q(n) 1617 20 n 7 , where n is a

2
positive integer that denotes the number of days from which the medication is
administered.
(iii) Assuming the initial amount of bacteria present in both controlled environments
are the same, comment with justification whether the antibody or the synthetic
medication is more effective in reducing the amount of bacteria present. [2]

Since it only takes 7 days for the amount of bacteria present to be
reduced when using the synthetic medication as compared to the 13
days required when using the antibody, hence the synthetic medication
is more effective in reducing the amount of bacteria present.

11 An interior design company can only furnish one house at a time. For a residential project A, it
takes 160 hours to furnish the first house. Each subsequent house takes k hours shorter to furnish
than the previous one due to the similar design.
(i) If the company takes a total of 3800 hours to furnish the first 25 houses, find the exact time
it would need to furnish the next 25 houses. [4]
(ii) The company would like to achieve a target completion time of less than 140 hours for the
nth house. Find the value of n when the target is first met. [2]
To reduce the overall furnishing time, the company decides to double its manpower.
For project B, a similarly designed residential project like A, it still takes 160 hours to furnish the
first house. However, the time taken to furnish each subsequent house is 4% shorter than the
previous one.
(iii) Find the number of houses that can be fully furnished in 3800 hours. If productivity is defined
as the number of houses fully furnished per man-hour, calculate the percentage improvement
in productivity for project B compared to A based on the houses fully furnished in 3800 hours.
[Note : Man-hour for a task = number of people assigned × time taken to complete the task] [4]
(iv) For project B, show that the total time taken to furnish will not exceed 4000 hours, no matter
how many houses there are. Briefly comment on your answer in the context of this
question. [2]

1 At the start of the year, Mr Toh invested in three types of savings bonds, namely “Ucare”, “Ushare”
and “Ugain”. The amount invested in “Ugain” is equal to the sum of the amounts invested in the
other 2 bonds. In addition, the sum of the amount invested in “Ushare” and twice the amount invested
in “Ugain” is 8 times the amount invested in “Ucare”.
At the end of the year, “Ucare”, “Ushare” and “Ugain” paid out interest at a rate of 2.5%, 1.75%
and 3% respectively. Mr Toh received a total of $657.60 in interest.

Suggested solution
(i)
Method 1
We first show A, B, and C are collinear by CA k CB , where k is a constant to be found in terms
of P , and note that we can then also use the value of constant k to determine the ratio CA: CB later.
Using λa + μb + c = 0, and λ + μ + 1 = 0
CA a c CB b c
a Oa Pb b Oa Pb
a ( P 1)a P b b ( P 1)a Pb

Thus, CA CB ,
P 1
since CA is a scalar multiple of CB , and C is a common point, so A, B, and C are collinear.

Thus CA : CB = P :1 P

11 Engineers are building a greenhouse on an inclined grass slope. Points ( x, y, z ) are defined relative
to a base point O (0, 0, 0) , where units are in metres.
The greenhouse is in the shape of a tetrahedron. The corners O, A and B lie on the grass slope, while
the point C is the highest point of the tetrahedron (also called apex), as shown in the diagram below.

The coordinates of A, B and C are (100,100,10) , (160, 20,8) and (80,59, 20) respectively.
(i) Show that the Cartesian equation of the grass slope is 3x 4 y 70 z 0. [2]
(ii) Find the angle of inclination of the grass slope. [2]

(iii) To secure the greenhouse, the architect plans to build a central pillar from the apex directly to
the floor of the greenhouse such that the central pillar is perpendicular to the horizontal plane.
Find the point where the central pillar meets the grass slope. [2]
Unfortunately, the workers misunderstand the instructions and build the central pillar from the apex
to the floor of the greenhouse such that the pillar is perpendicular to the grass slope.
(iv) Find the length of this central pillar and use this length to find the volume enclosed by the
greenhouse OABC. [4]

12 It is given that f ( x ) = 9 −
. The diagram below shows a vertical cross section of a building.
6
The cross section of the roof of the building can be modelled by the curve y = f ( x ) , where
−6 ≤ x ≤ 6 and x is in metres. The ground level is represented by the x-axis.
The cross section of the living space under the roof can be modelled by a rectangle ABCD with
points D ( − a, 0 ) and A ( a, 0 ) , where 0 < a ≤ 6 .
The P/A ratio is a measure of the thermal insulation of a space. The lower the P/A ratio, the
smaller the amount of insulation is required, thus saving costs. The P/A ratio can be defined by
P (a)
the function I ( a ) = where P ( a ) is the perimeter and A ( a ) is the area of the rectangle

(iii) Find a1 , correct to 3 decimal places, and show that it minimises I. [2]
The developer would prefer the living space ABCD to be at least 80% of the area ABECD,
which is currently not satisfied. It is suggested to replace the curve y = f ( x ) to model the roof
with part of the curve in part (iv).
(iv) Sketch the curve with equation ( 2 y − 19 ) − 2 x 2 = 1 for y ≤ 9 for all values of x, stating

(v) Based on the value of a1 found in part (iii), determine if the developer would accept the
suggestion. [2]

6 The “Nephroid” (also known as a two-cusped epicycloid) is a kidney-shaped curve often

seen on the surface of a cup of coffee in the sunshine – a crescent of light formed by
sunlight reflecting off the inside of the cup onto the surface of the drink. More generally,
it is the shape made by parallel rays of light reflecting from the inside of any semi-
circle1.

(b) Due to poor sales, the manufacturer decides to revamp the design of the
metallic cup. The newly designed cup consists of an inverted right cone of
radius 5 cm and height 15 cm, with its vertex fixed to a circular base. Before
mass production, the manufacturer produced a sample cup and tested it by
filling the cup completely with water. The sample cup was found to be
defective as water leaked out of a hole at the vertex of the cone at a rate of 2
cm3 per second. The diagram below shows the cup.

11 During test drives, a sensor is used to record the number of revolutions per minute made by a
particular wheel of a vehicle.
(a) In a test drive, a car is initially travelling at constant speed but starts to slow down due to
engine malfunction. The total number of revolutions is recorded on every 1-minute interval
after malfunction. In the first n minutes, the total number of revolutions recorded, S n , is
given by Sn 54n 29 n .
(i) Show that the number of revolutions recorded in each minute after the malfunction
occurs, before the car comes to a complete stop, follows an arithmetic progression. [3]
(ii) The diameter of each wheel of the car is measured to be 61 cm. Show that the car travels
a distance of 21.7 km, correct to 3 significant figures, from the time the malfunction
occurs until it comes to a complete stop. [3]
(b) In another test drive, a truck was travelling at constant speed before it entered the roughterrain.
Before entering the rough terrain, the wheel was rotating at 486 revolutions per minute (rpm). After
entering the rough terrain, engine power increases the rate of rotation by 20 rpm almost immediately
at the beginning of each minute. However, at the end of each minute, friction slows the truck down
2
such that the rate of rotation is of that recorded at the beginning of that minute. The rate of
3
rotation of the wheel at the end of the the nth minute after entering the rough terrain is denoted by
vn rpm.
