Text from the first pagesCandidate Name: ________________________ Class: _____________ JC2 PRELIMINARY EXAM Higher 2 MATHEMATICS 9740/01 Paper 1 14 Sept 2015 3 hours Additional Materials: Cover page Answer papers List of Formulae (MF15) READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST Write your full name and class on all the work you hand in. Write in dark blue 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 an approved graphing calculator. Unsupported answers from a graphing calculator are allowed unless a question specifically states otherwise. Where unsupported answers from a graphing calculator are not allowed in a question, you are required to present the mathematical steps using mathematical notations and not calculator commands. You are reminded of the need for clear presentation in your answers. At the end of the examination, fasten all your work securely together. The number of marks is given in brackets [ ] at the end of each question or part question. This document consists of 6 printed pages.

The number of Singa and Nila sculptures corresponds to the numb er of sports contested at the two editions of the games respectively. The sculptures are of varying heights. The Singa sculptures are displayed in a line such that the tallest Singa sculpture is in the middle. Starting from both ends of the line, the height of each subsequent Singa sculpture is 10 cm more than the preceding Singa sculpture, up to the middle Singa sculpture. (i) Given that 29 sports were contested at the 1993 SEA Games and the total height of all the Singa sculptures is 3120 cm, find the height of the tallest and shortest sculptures. [3] The Nila sculptures are displayed in order of descending height. The height of the tallest Nila sculpture is 210 cm. The height of each subsequent Nila sculptu re is 5% shorter than the height of the preceding Nila sculpture. (ii) Given that the shortest Nila sculpture is the only Nila sculpture to have a height of less than 35 cm, find the number of sports contested at the 2015 SEA Games. [2] (iii) Find, to 2 decimal places, the height of the shortest Nila sculpture and the total height of all the Nila sculptures. [3]
