Write your answers in this booklet. If you need additional space, please write on sheets of A4 paper
and attach them to this booklet. You may use a pencil for diagrams, but use a pen for everything
else. You should show all your working so that credit may be given for partly correct answers.

Do not be discouraged if you do not finish. If you get more than 50 marks you will have done well.

8. Xavier has been asked by his teacher to count the positive factors of 12. He writes down the factors
1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12, and then gives his teacher the correct answer six. His teacher then asks him to
find the number of factors of 216. She gives him the incomplete table below to help him.

Note that 216  23  33 .

10. a) Alan starts to walk up an upward-moving escalator of length 90m at a constant speed, starting
from the bottom. He gets to the top after thirty seconds. Had the escalator not been moving, Alan
would have got to the top after fifty seconds. What is the speed of the escalator, assuming that it is
constant? [3]

b) Brenda starts to walk up a different upward-moving escalator of length 40m at a constant speed,
starting from the bottom. She gets to the top after twenty seconds. She then walks down the
escalator, taking a further fifty seconds to reach the bottom. What is the speed of the escalator,
assuming that it is constant? (Assume furthermore that Brenda always walks at the same speed.) [4]
11. The surface area of a sphere is 4 r 2 , where r is the radius of the sphere.

The curved surface area of a cylinder is 2 rh , where r is the radius of the cylinder and h is the
height.

a) In the diagram below, a solid has been formed by joining a hemisphere to a cylinder of equal
radius. The height of the cylinder is equal to its diameter.

The total surface area of the solid (including the base) is k r 2 . Find k. [2]

b) A sphere of radius 30cm is cut into six identical segments. What is the total surface area of one
segment? (Give your answer in terms of  .) [3]
c) The solid shown below is one eighth of a sphere (so three faces are quarter-circles). What
fraction of the total surface area of the solid is curved? [2]

d) A number of identical spherical tennis balls fit exactly inside a cylindrical tube. The surface area
of the tube (including its two ends) is 10% more than the total surface area of the tennis balls. How
many tennis balls are there? (The diagram is not to scale.) [4]
12. a) The diagram below shows a (dotted) cuboid which just fits inside a pyramid. The apex of the
pyramid lies directly above the centre of its horizontal square base. The height of the cuboid is half
the height of the pyramid. What fraction of the volume of the pyramid is the volume of the cuboid? [3]

(The volume of a pyramid is equal to 1  base area  height .)

b) The diagram below shows an octahedron. M is the point in the middle of the horizontal square
BCDE. The points A, M and F lie on the same vertical line. The length of the line AB is 20 and the
length of the dotted diagonal BD is 24. The lines AB and BF are at right angles to each other.

Find the volume of the octahedron. [6]
