Q. N. 1: The diagram shows points A, B and C lying on the line 2y = x + 4. The point A lies on the y-axis and AB = BC. The line from D(10, -3) to B is perpendicular to AC. Calculate the coordinates of B and C. [7]



Q. N. 2: The coordinates of A are (-3, 2) and the coordinates of C are (5, 6). The midpoint of AC is M and the perpendicular bisector of AC cuts the x-axis at B.
(i) Find the equation of MB and the coordinates of B. [5]
(ii) Show that AB is perpendicular to BC. [2]
(iii) Given that ABCD is a square, find the coordinates of D and the length of AD. [2]
Q. N. 3: The diagram shows a triangle in which A has coordinates (1, 3), B has coordinates (5, 11) and angle ABC is 900. The point X(4, 4) lies on AC. Find the equation of BC. [3]




Q. N. 4: For n values of the variable x, it is given that = 216 and . Find the value of n. [3]
Q. N. 5: The time taken, t hours, to deliver letters on a particular route each day is measured on 250 working days. The mean time taken is 2.8 hours. Given that = 96.1, find the standard deviation of the times taken. [3]
