1. C
𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒 = 1ℎ𝑟 47𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑠 + 4𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑠
= 1ℎ𝑟 51𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑠
𝐸𝑛𝑑 𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒 = 7: 03𝑎𝑚 + 1ℎ𝑟 51𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑠
= 8: 03𝑎𝑚 + 51𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑠
= 8: 54𝑎𝑚
This is answer (c).

2. D
First we need to find how many exposed faces there are.
4 Faces
5 Faces
5 Faces

3 Faces

5 Faces
4 Faces

𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑒𝑥𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑠 = 5 + 4 + 5 + 3 + 4 + 5

= 26 𝑓𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑠
= 26 𝑐𝑜𝑙𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠
This is answer (d).

3. D
First we need to find how many times higher the base is in Tank A compared to Tank A.
We see that the sides of Tank B are half the sides in Tank A.
𝑇𝑎𝑛𝑘 𝐴 𝐵𝑎𝑠𝑒 = 0.6 × 0.4 = 0.24
𝑇𝑎𝑛𝑘 𝐵 𝐵𝑎𝑠𝑒 = 0.3 × 0.2 = 0.6
𝐶𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑒 = 0.24 ÷ 0.6
=4
This shows that the height must be 4 times larger in Tank B than Tank A.
This is answer (d).

We need to find the lowest common multiple between the three vegetables.
𝐿𝐶𝑀 = 3 × 4 × 5
= 60 𝑑𝑎𝑦𝑠
July has 31 days so there are 11 days used in July.
August has 31 days so all 31 days are used.
𝑅𝑒𝑚𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 = 60 − 11 − 31
= 18 𝑑𝑎𝑦𝑠
This means that on the 18th of September, all three vegetables are watered
simultaneously.
This is answer (b).

5. C
A → C = 2 spaces
C → B = 1 space
B → E = 3 spaces
E → A = 4 spaces
A → C = 2 spaces
𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑠𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑠 = 2 + 1 + 3 + 4 + 2
= 12 𝑠𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑠
12 𝑠𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑠 = 240𝑚
1 𝑠𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑒 = 20𝑚
𝑃𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑡 𝐵 → 𝑃𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑡 𝐷 = 2 𝑠𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑠
= 2 × 20𝑚
= 40𝑚
This is answer (c).

The pattern is to add and subtract the top numbers which are then multiplied together
to get the bottom number.
𝐴𝑑𝑑 = 12 + 7 = 19
𝑆𝑢𝑏𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑡 = 12 − 7 = 5
𝑀𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑖𝑝𝑙𝑦 = 19 × 5 = 95
This is also the same with the second pattern:
𝐴𝑑𝑑 = 6 + 4 = 10
𝑆𝑢𝑏𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑡 = 6 − 4 = 2
𝑀𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑖𝑝𝑙𝑦 = 10 × 2 = 20
For the final one, we do the same thing to find the bottom number:
𝐴𝑑𝑑 = 14 + 11 = 25
𝑆𝑢𝑏𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑡 = 14 − 11 = 3
𝑀𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑖𝑝𝑙𝑦 = 25 × 3 = 75
This is answer (d).

7. A
1 pencil + 2 eraser = $6.90
2 pencils + 1 ruler = $3.50
1 eraser + 2 rulers = $4.30
If we add all of these together then we have 3 of each together:
1 𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑙 + 2 𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑟 + 2 𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑙 + 1 𝑟𝑢𝑙𝑒𝑟 + 1 𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑟 + 2 𝑟𝑢𝑙𝑒𝑟 = 6.90 + 3.50 + 4.30
3 𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑙𝑠 + 3 𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑠 + 3 𝑟𝑢𝑙𝑒𝑟𝑠 = $14.70
1 𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑙 + 1 𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑟 + 1 𝑟𝑢𝑙𝑒𝑟 = $14.70 ÷ 3
= $4.90
This is answer (a).

8. B
Divisible by 3 with remainder 2.
Divisible by 4 with remainder 3.
Multiples of 3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30.
Multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32.
Consider 21 for multiple of 3 and add 2.
Consider 20 for multiple of 4 and add 3.
This will both give 23 which fits our conditions.
This is answer (b).

First we need to multiply the amount of the animal by their leg and then how many tags
are on each leg.

Statement 1:
Since Andrew is 3 houses away from Ben and Carrie is 6 houses away from Ben, if they
were both on the same side away from Ben then they would be 3 houses apart. This is
only possible if they are both left of ben’s house or both right of Ben’s house.
This is TRUE.
Statement 2:
They both live on the side of the road with “even” street numbers and when two even
numbers are subtracted from each other they will always give an even number.
This is FALSE.
Statement 3:
If Carrie were to the left of Ben and Andrew were on the right of Ben or vice versa, then
they would be 9 houses away since the distance from Ben to Andrew is 3 and the
distance from Ben to Carrie is 6.
This is TRUE.
Since statement 1 and 3 are correct, the answer is (d).

Consider different sections as A and B.

𝐴𝑟𝑒𝑎 𝐴 = 9 × 9

𝐴𝑟𝑒𝑎 𝐵 𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 = 4 × 9 × 4
= 144
𝑆ℎ𝑎𝑝𝑒 𝐴𝑟𝑒𝑎 = 𝐴𝑟𝑒𝑎 𝐴 + 𝐴𝑟𝑒𝑎 𝐵
= 81 + 144

If it costs 45c for every 0.5cm2 then it would cost 90c for every 1cm2.
𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑡 = 225 × 90𝑐

This is answer (b).

The greatest possible difference would mean the Chicken must be very high. While the
Beef would be very low.
In this case the cost of the Chicken would be $97.88 and the Beef would be $45.06.

= $52.82
This is answer (a).

27. D
Consider both the equations.
By having 6 less eggs, the time increased by 36 mins.
With this, 1 less egg will increase the time by 6 mins.
If we consider 15 less fried eggs, the time increased is 15 × 6𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑠 = 90𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑠.
𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒 = 90𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑠 + 72𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑠 = 162𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑠
By adding this to the previous 15 fried eggs we get the total time which is answer (d).

In order to find the least number of coins, we need to maximise the larger coins.
6 of the $2 coins will give us $12 and so we have $1.25 remaining.
2 of the 50c coins give another $1 and so we have 25c remaining.
1 of the 20c and 5c each make up the other 25c needed.
