12 Answer only one of the following two alternatives.
EITHER
(a) An examination paper contains 12 different questions of which 3 are on trigonometry, 4 are on
algebra and 5 are on calculus. Candidates are asked to answer 8 questions. Calculate
(i) the number of different ways in which a candidate can select 8 questions if there is no
restriction,
(ii) the number of these selections which contain questions on only 2 of the 3 topics,
trigonometry, algebra and calculus.

(b) A fashion magazine runs a competition, in which 8 photographs of dresses are shown, lettered
A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H. Competitors are asked to submit an arrangement of 5 letters
showing their choice of dresses in descending order of merit. The winner is picked at random
from those competitors whose arrangement of letters agrees with that chosen by a panel of
experts.
(i) Calculate the number of possible arrangements of 5 letters chosen from the 8.
Calculate the number of these arrangements
(ii) in which A is placed first,
(iii) which contain A.

OR
The table shows experimental values of the variables x and y which are related by the equation
y # Ab
x
, where A and b are constants.
(i) Use the data above in order to draw, on graph paper, the straight line graph of lg y against x,
using 1 cm for 1 unit of x and 10 cm for 1 unit of lg y. [2]
(ii) Use your graph to estimate the value of A and of b. [5]
(iii) On the same diagram, draw the straight line representing y # 2

and hence find the value of
x for which Ab
