Write in dark or black pen on both sides of the paper. You may use a soft pencil for any diagrams or graphs. Do not use staples, paper clips, highlighters, glue or correction fluid. Answer all the questions. Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place in the case of angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question. You are expected to use a graphic calculator. Unsupported answers from a graphic calculator are allowed unless a question specifically states otherwise. Where unsupported answers from a graphic calculator are not allowed in a question, you are required to present the mathematical steps u sing mathematical notations and not calculator commands. You are reminded of the need for clear presentation in your answers. The number of marks is given in brackets [ ] at the end of each question or part question. At the end of the examination, fasten all your work securely together. Total marks for this paper is 100 marks. This question paper consists of 7 printed pages and 1 blank page.
2 [Turn Over Section A: Pure Mathematics [40 marks] 1 The line ℓ with Cartesian equation 4 43 xz , y = 1 contains the point B with position vector j + 3k. A point A, not lying on ℓ, has position vector 2i + ( 15 )j ‒ k. (i) Given that c denotes a unit vector parallel to ℓ, find AB c and give a geometrical interpretation of this quantity.

A cylindrical tank of radius r m, which is fully filled with a type of liquid chemical, is inscribed inside the cone. (i) Find the value of r in terms of h when the cylindrical tank has a maximum volume. [5] An engineer decides to build the above structure with cylindrical tank of radius r as found in (i). To prevent the liquid chemical from contaminating the ground when leakages occur, an inverted cone of semi-vertical angle of 45 will be attached to the cylindrical tank as shown in the diagram below. mh mr

[5] Solution (i) Let d be the vertical length from the vertex of the cone to the top of the cylindrical tank. 2V r h d Since tan 60 r d , we have 3 33 rdr .

Since the angle is 45 , when the radius of the water surface is x m, the height of the water in the inverted cone is x m as well. 2 32 d 2 d 1d 3d AA x x x LL x x x 30 mins after leaking, volume of chemical in the container 0.3 30 9 m3 319 3 x 1 33x 21 3 d d d d d d d0.3 3 d L L x t x t x t 1 3d m / mind 30 x t 1 1 3 3 d d d d d d d 23d 30 A A x t x t A t 1 231 m / min5 Therefore, the area of liquid surface is increasing at a rate of 1 231 m / min5 . 4 (a) The complex number z is such that 2 3z and arg( i ) 4z .
