INSTRUCTIONS

1. Read carefully the instructions on the multiple-choice answer sheet.

2. Write your Name, Class and Class Number in the spaces provided on the multiple-choice answer sheet.

3. When told to open this book, you should check that all the questions are there. Look for the words
‘END OF PAPER’ after the last question.

4. All questions carry equal marks.

5. ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS. You are advised to use an HB pencil to mark all the answers on the
Answer Sheet, so that wrong marks can be completely erased with a clean rubber. You must mark the
answers clearly; otherwise, you will lose marks if the answers cannot be captured.

6. You should mark only ONE answer for each question. If you mark more than one answer, you will
receive NO MARKS for that question.

7. No marks will be deducted for wrong answers.

 Case 2: the units digit is 2, 4, 6 or 8
Since the 100th digit cannot be 0, the 100th place can only be filled in 8 ways.
The 10th place can be filled by the remaining digits include 0 in 8 ways.
Number of numbers formed = 4 × 8 × 8 = 256
