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.

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

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.

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. ^^

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.

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.

@Mwf3:


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
