10. Mario knows that a number is divisible by nine if the sum of its digits is divisible by nine.
He has eight cards with the digits 1 to 8 written on them as shown.
Mario selects three of these cards to make a three-digit number that is divisible by nine. He then replaces these three cards and repeats this selection procedure to select different three-digit numbers divisible by nine.
How many even three-digit numbers is it possible for him to find in this way?

NOT TO SCALE
Station Rd and West St are parallel, while Smith Rd crosses them. This results in angle y and angle w, that are alternate, being equal.Therefore, statement A is the correct statement.
Space and Geometry Easy
2 B
This is a quadratic equation. It factorises to (n + 100)(n − 40) = 0The solutions for this equation are n = − 100 and n = 40.As n is the number of products, it cannot be negative. Hence, n = 40 is the correct solution.Alternatively, substituting the options will show that n = 40 gives P = 0.
Algebra and Patterns Easy
3 CThe result of the calculation is 3.197208465.This number rounded to three significant figures is 3.20.
Number and Arithmetic Medium
4 D
The diagram shows an inverse relation between the air temperature, T, and the number of people, P. As T increases, P decreases. Note that the relation is not linear.Option A is a quadratic equation that gives a parabola when graphed, where the relation is positive (considering positive values of T). This does not describe the given data. Options B and C are both linear equations that give straight lines sloping downwards when graphed. Again, these do not describe the given data.Option D is an equation that gives a hyperbola when graphed. For small values of T, P has a large value. As the values of T increase, the values of P decrease. This correctly describes the given data.

The green area is 2a × a = 2a2The orange area is 4a × a = 4a2The blue area is = length × width = (6b + 2b) × (6a – 4b)= 8b × (6a – 4b)= 48ab – 32b2Therefore the total area that is coloured is = green + orange + blue= 2a2 + 4a2 + 48ab – 32b2 = 6a2 + 48ab – 32b2

To be south-west from X and south from Y, the boat must be at position Z, as shown. Notice that Triangle XYZ has two 45 degrees angles which means it has to be an isosceles triangle. Hence, the distance from X to Z must also be 1000 km.
Using Pythagoras’ theorem in Triangle XYZ the distance that the boat must travel south is YZ = √10002 + 10002 = 1414.21356 = 1414 rounded down to the nearest km.

Pricing scheme 1 has 6000 L flowing per second, at $23.50 per 1000 litres. So the cost is($23.50 ÷ 1000) × 6000 = $141 per second.Similarly, pricing scheme two is ($35.60 ÷ 1000) × 10000 = $356 per second.The difference is therefore 356 − 141 = $215 per second.
Number and Arithmetic Medium
8 A
To solve this question, a cube that is 4 × 4 × 4 units, with each unit being 2.78 × 10–6 m should be considered.
That is, the cube with side lengths
4 × 2.78 × 10–6
= 1.11200 × 10–5
Hence, the volume of the cube will be(1.11200 × 10−5)3 =1.4 × 10−15 (rounded up).

It is given that PQ = 20 and QR = 6AP = PQ = 20 (tangents to the circle from P are equal)Similarly QR = RC = 6.
Let r be the radius of the circle. Then,r = AP + PB = PB + 20so PB = r − 20Similarly, BR = r − 6
Using Pythagoras’ Theorem on triangle PBR,
(r − 20)2 + (r − 6)2 = 262
2r2 − 52r + 436 = 6762r2 − 52r − 240 = 0r2 − 26r − 120 = 0(r − 30)(r + 4) = 0
As r is the radius, it cannot be negative. Hence, r = 30.
Therefore, the width of the poster, the diameter, is 60 cm.

Numbers to be considered are numbers with a digit sum that is divisible by 9. So the sum of the digits must be multiples of 9: 9, 18, 27...The highest digit sum that can be obtained from the numbers 1 to 8 is 8 + 7 + 6 = 21. So only numbers whose digits sum to 9 or 18 need to be considered.
The numbers must be even, so they must be of the form: _ _ 2, _ _ 4, _ _ 6 and _ _ 8.
Take for example _ _ 2. To make this number’s digits sum to 9, the first two digits must sum to 7. We can therefore have 342, or 432. We cannot have 252 or 522 as the number 2 cannot be used twice.
This table summarises the solutions.
