QUESTION KEY SOLUTION STRAND LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY
1 CThe missing part in C is one third which matches the slice (one third); altogether they complete one whole.
Space and Geometry Easy
2 A The sum of x and y adds to 190° which is more than the angle sum of a triangle (180°).
Space and Geometry Easy
3 D
The total number of vehicles = 135
The angle at the centre for cars = 90135
× 360°
= 240°
Chance and Data Medium
4 C
Let D be the diameter of the big wheel (back wheel).Let d be the diameter of the small wheel (front wheel). According to the question information,D = 3/2 × d.
When the car travels 1 m, the big wheel makes 6 turns. Therefore, 6 × the circumference of the big wheel = 1Circumference of the big wheel is πD, therefore the equation can be presented as:6 × πD = 1….(Equation 1).
Let x be the number of turns the small wheel makes when the car travels 1m.Using the same logic, we can form the equation x × πd = 1…. (Equation 2)
Dividing Equation 1 by Equation 2:
6Dxd
= 1 6Dd
x = 6 × 3 2x = = 9 , make x the subject of the equation:
6Dxd
= 1 6Dd
x = 6 × 3 2x = = 9
Substitute D= 3/2 d
6Dxd
= 1 6Dd
x = 6 × 3 2x = = 9 .
Measurement Medium
5 B
If the number is to be divisible by 3 and by 4, it has to be divisible by 12. The first number that is divisible by 12 between 300 and 400 is 312. Then continue to add 12 to get the next number until you reach 396 (the last number before 400).Therefore, the numbers are 312, 324, 336, 348, 360, 372, 384, 396. There are 8 numbers.

6 D
d 2V = π × h
d 2
V = π × 4 × × h
2d 2V = π × h 2d
2 V = π × hd 2V = π × h where d is the diameter, h is
the height of the bottle.Alan suggested doubling the height, therefore the new volume will be: d
2V = π × h
d 2
V = π × 4 × × h
2d 2V = π × h 2d
2 V = π × hd 2V = π × h.
This is twice the original volume. In other words, by doubling the height of the bottle it will hold twice as much content.Bill suggested doubling the diameter, therefore the new volume will be:
d 2V = π × h
d 2
V = π × 4 × × h
2d 2V = π × h 2d
2 V = π × hd 2V = π × h
.This is 4 times the original volume. In other words, the bottle then will hold 4 times as much content. Therefore, only Alan was correct.

The green area is 2a × a = 2a2The orange area is 4a × a = 4a2The blue area is = length × width = (6b + 2b) × (6a − 4b)= 8b × (6a − 4b)= 48ab − 32b2Therefore the total area that is coloured is = green + orange + blue= 2a2 + 4a2 + 48ab − 32b2= 6a2 + 48ab − 32b2
Algebra and Pattern Hard
ICAS Mathematics Practice Questions Paper H © EAA
Level of difficulty refers to the expected level of difficulty for the question.
Easy more than 70% of candidates will choose the correct option
Medium about 50–70% of candidates will choose the correct option
Medium/Hard about 30–50% of candidates will choose the correct option
Hard less than 30% of candidates will choose the correct option
8 A
This question relies on looking for a pattern. 333444 = (3 × 111)444 = 3444 × 111444 Let’s look at powers of 111 and try to find a pattern:1111 = 1111112 = 123211113 = 1367631It is clear that the last digit of 111 to the powerof 444 is 1.For powers of 3 there is a different pattern:31 = 332 = 933 = 2734 = 8135 = 24336 = 72937 = 218738 = 6561From this pattern every 4th power of 3 results ina number with the digit 1 in the units place.Since 444 is a multiple of 4, then 3444 will end in 1. If we multiply this number by 111444
(which also ends with the digit 1), the result will also end with 1.
