Yup I recalled the question, I am guessing that P2 is going to be easy as all the hard topics were featured in yesterday's paper ...

By the way what did you got for OC ?

I actually forgot what I got for OC. :P What did you get? Perhaps, it'll jog my memory a bit.

A student has a collection of 9 CDs, of which 4 are by the Beatles, 3 are by Abba and 2 are by the
Rolling Stones. She selects 4 of the CDs from her collection. Calculate the number of ways in which
she can make her selection if
(i) her selection must contain her favourite Beatles CD, [2]
(ii) her selection must contain 2 CDs by one group and 2 CDs by another.


can some1 explain how to solve this question?
i) 5C3 * 4C1

ii) 2 Rolling Stones + 2 Others

2C2 * 7C2

2 Beatles + 2 Others

4C2 * 5C2

2 Abba + 2 Others

3C2 * 6C2

Add them all together.

Most of my mates did EITHER. I did EITHER as well ... however it seems that virtually everyone has gotten a negative answer for area under the curve :o

At my school, there are some did EITHER & some did the second part. For EITHER, how is that possible? I mean area can't be negative, that's a fact :-\

also, what did everyone get for the permutations/combinations questions (variant 2)

ii) when theta = 30

R = r(1+1/sin 30) = 3r

Area of circle = pi*r^2

Area of sector = 1/2 R^2(pi/3) = (3pir^2)/2

fraction : pir^2/(3pir^2)/2 = 2/3

iii) tan 30 = r/d (R = 15 , 15 = 3r , r = 5)

    tan 30 = 5/d

d = 5/tan 30 = 8.66

arc length = r*a = 5(2pi/3) = 10.47

perimeter = 10.47 + 2(8.66) = 27.8

Hmm, can someone who did variant 1 tell us what came out in their paper 1?

Yeah, the permutations question was so easy. I remember the last answer was 100 for that question.

I think relative velocity would probably come out tomorrow...
