10. A contractor sees two job opportunities involving laying roads in the city of Metropolis.

Road Laying List Road length Number of workers Working rate

Option A 5000 m 50 men 10 hrs/day
Option B 8000 m 64 men 8 hrs/day

Quickly, he understands that Option A requires laying of a road 5000 m long with 50 men, each
working for 10 hours a day. After doing some complex calculation, he comes to the conclusion
that Option A will take 80 days.

a. How many days will it take for Option B to complete?

Answer .............................. [4]

Upon further investigation, he adds some information to the table as shown below.

Road Laying List Road length Number of workers Working rate

Option A 5000 m 50 men @ $1.32/hr 10 hrs/day
Option B 8000 m 64 men @ $0.84/hr 8 hrs/day

b. Calculate the cost of hiring the men for Option A, rounding the value to 2 significant figures.

Answer .......................... [2]

c. Calculate the cost of hiring the men for Option B, rounding the value to 2 significant figures.

Answer .......................... [2]

12. For part (d) of this question, it is advised to use an electronic calculator.
In a Mathematics test, the average score obtained by Grade VI is 72 and Grade VII is 75. Taking the
number of students of G-VI to be x and G-VII to be y ,
a. Show that the total marks, T 1, obtained by all the students of Grade VI is T 1=72 x .

[2]

b. Find, in terms of y , the total marks, T 2, obtained by all the students of Grade VII.

Answer .............................. [2]

It is given that the average score obtained by the two grades is 73.48, and that the total number
of students in the two grades is 75.
