  • Duration: 2½ Hours
  • Total Marks: 100
  • Structure: Two sections; Section I (50 marks, 16 compulsory short-answer questions) and Section II (50 marks, choose any five questions from questions 17 - 24)

  It covers the following topics:

  • Section I:
    • Number Operations and Logarithmic Expressions (Evaluating decimals without calculators, logarithms using base properties)
    • Commercial Ratios and Proportion (Wage distribution ratios, divisibility and G.C.D. applications)
    • Indices and Simultaneous Equations (Exponential index equations, recurring decimals)
    • Geometry and Polygons (Interior angle sums of regular polygons, rotational symmetry of order 4)
    • Circle Geometry and Trigonometry (Arc lengths in radians, angles of elevation/depression, trigonometric complementary angles)
    • Bearings and Scale Drawing (Locational bearings and scale distances)
    • Matrix Algebra (Application of 2x2 matrices in simultaneous wage calculations)
    • Linear Inequalities (Integral solutions of simultaneous inequalities)
    • Coordinate Geometry (Perpendicular bisectors of lines, cyclic quadrilaterals)
  • Section II:
    • Kinematics and Relative Motion (Parallel track trains, relative speed conversions, overtaking and passing times)
    • Transformations (Plotting, enlargement with fractional/integer scale factors, reflections, rotations)
    • Statistics (Grouped seedling heights, mean calculation, histogram construction, graphical median estimation)
    • Mensuration and Integration/Geometry (Horizontal fuel tanker sector area, segment area, fuel mass and density)
    • Applied Vector/Trigonometric Tracking (Pythagorean tracking distances, simultaneous quadratic equations, velocity vectors)
    • Commercial Arithmetic and Financial Budgeting (Investment group cost-sharing, member withdrawals, loan percentages, equity ratios)
    • Vectors and Translations (Midpoint position vectors, vector magnitudes, translation vectors)
    • Calculus (Stationary points, cubic curves, maximum/minimum nature of turning points)
