I hope SEAB standard won’t drop too much, otherwise they won’t be able to differentiate the smarter and not so smart people in the exam.

I know the PSLE 2012 dust has settled and now it is 2013.

Can anyone tell me what the speed question for PSLE 2012 is and what question 17 is? Maybe PM me?

Thanx.

e.g. Jim bought some chocolates and gave half to Ken. Ken bought some sweets and gave half to Jim. When Jim ate 12 sweets while Ken ate 18 chocolates, the ratio of Jim’s number of sweet to number of chocolate is 1: 7 while the ratio of Ken’s number of sweets to number of chocolate is 1: 4. How many sweets did Ken buy?


Let 1c be half the number of chocolates that Jim bought and 1s be half the number of sweets Ken bought.

Jim\t
Ratio of Choco:Sweets (At first)
1c : 1s\t
(At first)
1c : 1s
1c : 1s - 12
7 : 1 (In the end)

Ken
Ratio of Choco:Sweets \t
1c – 18 : 1s
4 : 1 (In the end)

Cross Multiply:
1c = 7s – 84

1c – 18 = 4s
-> 7s – 84 – 18 = 4s (Substitution)
-> 3s = 102
102/3 * 2= 68


Sorry, this is not as neat/simplistic as the real table mthod, but u get the idea.

13 groups x 8 = 104 people
+ another MwwwMw = 110 people
13 groups x 2 men = 26 men
26 + 2 = 28 men.
hope tis is correct.

Mwf3:
The man and women qn(qn29 of booklet b), the answer is 44. Why not 28? Because if you take 110-28=82. 82 cannot be decided by 3(women), so 28 is wrong and the only possible answer is 44. I have checked and confirmed with my tutors.

Hello, 28 is the correct answer. If you draw it out, you will see that if you use 44, there will be no women at all between some of the men, making it:

M W W W M M W W W M M W W W M

However, if you use 28, it will be like this:
M W W W M W W W M W W W

Hope this helps. ^^

110 ppl in queue. According to question,
At least 3 women between 2 men. So, arrangement: M W W W / M W W W…

110 / 4= 27 R2

There is a remainder of 2 ppl, one of them is a man, the other a woman.
so ans is 28, no argument.

XD

Also, if you go about the method that you stated, 110-28=82
82-1=81
81/3= 27

So 28 is the answer.

*No offense, but ur mistake was bcos u did not take into account the remainder

Bet the difficulty cant be compared to my year, PSLE Maths 2009, which was an absolute killer.

@Sunbrazen:

Sry if u are offended, but…
I have a math teacher who is really humourous, he taught me n my friends a method he created called the "table method" which makes us do cross multiplication n stuff like that to solve question; it is really easy and simplistic.

I went online, found the "killer questions" of 2009. No offense, but they were really easy, all could be solved by table method.

whywhy:
can anyone post the women n men question in paper 1. thanks

Hello, the question was something like this:

\" There are 110 men and women in a line. There are at least 3 women between 2 men. What is the most number of men in the line? \"

I can't remember the exact question, just the important points. Hope that helps. ^^

[quote=\"kuts\"]Hi, my dd says 19.

90-26-26=38. 38\\2=19

Do you know the ans for Qs 6- there are some water in a bottle. She drank the same amount of water every day. After the 12th day,1/3 of the water was left. After the 14th day, there is 200ml of water left. How much water was there in the bottle at the start.

Also, at the end of the 12th day, 2/3 of the water was left and not 1/3. (:[/quote]q6 solution:

2/3 divide by 12 equal 1/18
14-12 is 2
2x 1/18 is 2/18
1/3-2/18 is 2/9
2/9 is 200ml
9/9 is 900ml

hope I helped.

Hi, my dd says 19.

Most of my classmates ( including myself ) put 32 degrees as the answer.

Thanks. 🙂
Thinking back, I think the answer should be 32 degrees too. I put 38 though, silly me. xD

For Q6, I remember vaguely that my answer was 900 ml.
She drank 50 ml of water each day.
