Write your name, class and index number on all the work you hand in. Write in dark blue or black pen on both sides of th e 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 signi ficant figures, or 1 decimal place in the case of angles in degrees, unless a different l evel of accuracy is specified in the question. You are expected to use a graphic calculator. Unsupported answers from a graphic calculator are a llowed 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 usin g 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. Innova Junior College [Turn over
IJC/2012/JC2 9740/01/S12 2 1 A renovation company wishes to obtain sand, stone a nd brick for construction work. The company sends its requirements for sand, stone and brick, measured in units, to three different suppliers, AngGui, BaBao and CaiTao. Their quotations are as follows: Price per unit ($) AngGui BaBao CaiTao Sand 15.00 11.00 12.00 Stone 10.50 17.30 13.00 Brick 8.10 7.00 10.00 Total price 205.2 229.4 208 (i) Find the number of units of sand, stone and brick required by the company. [3] (ii) Another supplier, DaoBi, charged 10% lower per uni t of sand, stone and brick than the company that charges the lowest for each of the materials. Find the total amount that the renovation company must pay i f all the materials were purchased from DaoBi, leaving your answers to the nearest cent.

IJC/2012/JC2 9740/01/S12 3 5 Sketch, on the same diagram, the graphs of ln(2 9) y x = + and 2 10 y x = − , including the coordinates of the points where the g raphs cross the x-axis and the equations of any asymptotes. [3] Hence solve the inequality 2 ln(2 9) 10 x x + ≥ − and deduce the solution to the inequality 2 ln(2 9) 10 x x + ≥ − . [5] 6 The above diagram shows a circle with radius r units and centre O. The points A and B on the circle are such that OA = a /combarrowextender/combarrowextender/combarrowextender /arrowrightnosp , OB = b /combarrowextender/combarrowextender/combarrowextender /arrowrightnosp and 120 AOB ∠ = ∘. The point N divides AB in the ratio :1 λ λ − and ON is perpendicular to OB . (i) Show that 1 (2 ) 3ON = a b /combarrowextender/combarrowextender/combarrowextender /arrowrightnosp + and hence find the area of triangle OAN in the form of k ×a b , where k is a constant to be determined. [6] (ii) It is given that the point C lies on the circle such that O, N and C are collinear. By considering the length of ON , find OC /combarrowextender/combarrowextender/combarrowextender /arrowrightnosp in terms of a and b . [2] [Turn over A B N O a b C

[2] (b) David, a JC student is training for the 2.4 km run of his NAPFA fitness test on the jogging track, where he has to run 6 rounds. Th e time taken for every round is 23 20 of the time taken of his previous round as he gets more tired. (i) If he takes 2 min 30 seconds to run the fourth rou nd, find the time taken for him to run 2.4km, leaving your answer to the nearest second.
