D3: There are 5 red chips and 3 blue chips in a bowl. The red chips are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 respectively, and the
blue chips are numbered 1, 2, 3 respectively. If two chips are to be drawn at random and without replacement, find
the probability that these chips are have either the same number or the same color.
D4: Find the solution set on[0, 𝜋] for the equation: sin 𝑥 + tan 𝑥 − tan 𝑥 sin 𝑥 − 1 = 0 .
D5: A function f has the set of real numbers as its domain, and it satisfies the equation f(−x) + x f(x) = 4.

D1: Working together, Anna and Ben can finish a job in 4 minutes, while Anna and Carl can finish the same job in 5
minutes. If Ben can finish the job twice as fast as Carl, how long would it take Carl to finish the job alone?
D2: If the points (−3, 2), (0, −2.5) and (k, 3.5) are collinear, find k.

D4: An urn contains five red chips numbered 1 to 5, five blue chips numbered 1 to 5, and five white chips
numbered 1 to 5. Two chips are drawn from this urn without replacement. What is the probability that they have
either the same color or the same number?
D5: Reversing the digits of Anna’s age gives her mother’s age with a difference of eighteen years. If the sum of the
digits of each age is 6, how old is Anna?
A1: A rectangle has perimeter of 40 cm. What is the shortest possible length of each of its diagonals?
A2: Three numbers form a geometric sequence whose sum is 14. If 6 is subtracted from the first number, 8 is added
to the second, and 10 is subtracted from the third, the new numbers form an arithmetic sequence. What is the
second number in the original sequence?
A3: Two concentric circles have integer radii. If the area between the two circles is 19π cm2 , what is the perimeter
of the smaller circle?
A4: Dante is taking a 150 km trip driving at 40 kph in the last 2 hours. What should be his speed for the remainder
of the 3 hours to have an average of 50 kph?
A5: Find the number of multiples of 11 in the sequence 99, 100, 101, 102, . . . , 20130.
A1: Suppose that 𝑥1 and 𝑥2 are the two roots of the equation (𝑥 − 2)2 = 3(𝑥 + 5). What is the value of the
expression 𝑥1 𝑥2 + 𝑥1 2 + 𝑥2 2 ?
D1: How many 4-digit multiples of 4 can be formed from the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 such that each digit appears
without repetition?
