1. Factorise 21ax − 35ab − 9x + 15b.

2. The amount of fertilizer that is absorbed by a plant F , is directly propor-

tional to the square root of the height increment of the plant h. When the
plant absorbs one millilitre of the fertilizer, the height increment of the
plant is 0.0625 cm. Calculate
(a) the amount of fertilizer needed for the plant to grow by 9 cm.

(b) the height increment of the plant when 3 millilitres of fertilizer is

absorbed.

4. A box contains 30 balls, of which 12 are yellow and 18 are green. A ball
is drawn at random from the box. Find

(a) the probability of drawing a yellow ball.

(b) the number of yellow balls to be removed so that the probability of

drawing a green ball from the remaining balls in the box is 34 .

5. Find the 100th term of the sequence 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, . . .

6. The ratio of lengths of three sides of a triangle DEF is DE : EF : F D =

2 : 3 : 4. The length of DE is 5 cm. Find the perimeter of the triangle.

ages are identical and the drones work at the same rate, how long will it
take 5 drones to deliver 30 packages?
