7 To improve the situation of the Mass Rapid Transport (MRT), a team was commissioned
by the new Minister for Transport to do some research.

The following data was collected from the team studying the East-West Line:

During peak hours (i.e. from 7 to I 0 am and 5 to 8 pm) of every weekday, each carriage of
the MRT carries an average of 120 adult passengers and 40 children.
During off-peak hours of every weekday, each carriage carries an average of 56 adults and
56 children.
(i) Express the above information as a 2 x 2 matrix, C. [ 1]

On Saturdays and Sundays, each carriage carries an average of 144 adults and 46 children
during the peak hours (i.e. from 10 am to 1 pm and 4 to 7 pm).
Each carriage carries an average of 60 adults and 18 children during the off-peak hours on
Saturdays and Sundays.
(ii) Represent the above information as a 2 x 2 matrix D. [I]

It is also noted that there are 8 carriages per train journey.

(iii) Evaluate M = 5 (8C) + 2 (8D). [2]

(iv) State what the elements of M represent. [2]
{v) Given that the average frequency of the MRT is 3 minutes during the peak hours (i.e.
6 hours) and that there are 180 train rides that serves the East-West Line during the
off-peak hours, express the total numbers of the train journeys for the peak and off-
peak hours as a 1 x 2 matrix, F. [2]
(vi) By using a matrix multiplication of 3 matrices, calculate the total number of MRT
commuters who commute via the East-West Line in a week. [2]

10 Answer the whole of this question on a sheet of graph paper.

To test out a Physics' concept on Kinematics, Nicholas stood at the edge of the Sky Park,
which is at the top of Marina Bay Sands Hotel.

He threw a paper clip vertically upwards.

The height, S metres, of the paper clip above Sky Park at a time t seconds after it was
thrown is given by the formula

s = 3.6t-4.9t 2
The table below show some values of I and the corresponding values of S, correct to the
nearest whole number.

t 0 0.367 1.85 2.85 3.89 4.9 5.91 6.67

s 0 p - 10 -3 0 -60 -100 - 150 - 194

(a) Find the value of p.

(b) Using a scale of 2 cm to represent 1 second, draw a horizontal t - axis for 0 ~ t ~ 7.

Using a scale of 2cm to represent 40 metres, draw a vertical S -axis for

-200~s~10.

On your axes, plot the points given in the table and join them with a smooth curve. [

(c) Use your graph to estimate

(i) the time when the paper clip was next at the starting position of being thrown
up, r
(ii) how far below the Sky Park Jerome was if he saw the paper clip 4 seconds
after Nicholas threw it vertically upwards. (

(d) (i) By drawing a tangent, find the gradient of the graph at ( 4.9, -100). [

(ii) Explain what your answer to ( d)(i) tells you about the motion of the paper clip
at t = 4.9. (

(e) Given that the paper clip stopped moving 6.67 seconds after being throv.TI vertically
upwards from the Sky Park, explain the significance of the value S = - 194 when
t =6.67.

2. A finn rents out small and large buses. The cost of rental of each bus is shown in the table

below.

Average Distance for n days Average Distance for n days

Cost per day
:s 200 km > 200 km
Small bus $80 No extra charge 50 cents per km
Large bus $100 No extra charge 80 cents per km

(a) A small bus was rented out for 3 days and travelled 630 km during this time.

Calculate the total cost of rental. [l]

(b) A man who rented a large bus for -I days was charged $460.40. Calculate the total

distance he travelled. [2]

(c) On one occasion, a small bus and a large bus were each rented out for 5 days. Each
travelled the same distance, which is greater than 1000 km. The total charge for the
large bus was$ I 39 .27 more than the total charge for the small bus. Calculate the
distance that the large bus travelled. [3)

(d) On another occasion, a man rented a small bus for one day and travelled 178 km. He
spent a total of $124.50 on the i·ental charge and petrol. Given that a litre of petrol
costs $I .96, calculate the; petrol consumption of the small bus, giving you r answer in
kilometres rcr litre. [3]

6 (a) In June 2011, the price of a car was $56 000. Over the next two months, the price
increased by 25% and then decreased by 15%. Mr Tan, a potential car owner, said
that the overall increase in the price of the car was l 0%. Do you agree with Mr [ 2]
Tan? Justify your answer.

(b) Mr Goh bought a sports car from a car dealer. He made a down payment of 40% of
the selling price and paid the remaining amount by taking up a monthly instalment
payment scheme jointly offered by Bank A and Bank B:

From Payment Scheme

Simple interest of 3% per
50% of sum borrowed Bank A
annum for 3 years
Compound interest of2.4% per
50% of sum borrowed BankB annum compounded monthly
for 3 years

Given that Mr Goh made a down payment of S$4 l 832,

(i) Write down the loan amount taken from each bank. [2]

(ii) calculate his monthly instalment payable to Bank A and Bank B [4]
respectively.

After 3 years, Mr Goh sold his sports car to a Swiss friend at a loss of 15% of the
price he paid for it. The price he paid for includes the interests paid to the banks.

(iii) Find his selling price. [2]

(iv) Given that he received 56 900 CHF (Swiss Franc), calculate the rate of [I]

(a) Using a scale of 2 cm to represent 1 unit on a horizontal axis for -3 ~ x ~ 4

and 2 cm to represent 5 units on a vertical axis for- 25 5 y S 25, plot the points

given in the table and join them with a smooth curve. [2]

(b) Using your graph, solve the equation - x 3 + x 2 + 5x + 8 = 0 . [2]

(c) By drawing a suitable tangent, find the gradient of the curve at the point where
