(c) Yes
Solution:
Public Exam Reference: HKDSE 2014 Paper 1 Section A(2) Q10
(a) Suppose the car arrives at town Y at the time t minutes after 1:00 pm.
From the graph, the car is 25 km from town X after 30 minutes.
60 25
t =30 1M
25t = 60 30
t = 72
After 1 hour 12 mins, the car arrives at town Y.
The car arrives at town Y at 2:12 pm.
1A
(2)
(b) Suppose the car leaves town Y at the time s minutes before 4:00 pm.
From the graph, the car is 25 km away from town X 20 minutes before
4:00 pm.
60 25
s =20 1M
25s = 60 20
s = 48
The car leaves town Y at 3:12 pm.
The car stays in town Y for 1 hour. 1A
(2)
(c) During the period 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm, the car travels (60 25) km = 35 km in
60 minutes. During the period 2:30 pm to 3:40 pm, the car travels
(60 25) km = 35 km in 70 minutes. 1M
The average speed of the car during the period 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm is
higher than that of the car during the period 2:30 pm to 3:40 pm.

11. In Figure 3, ABCD is a parallelogram. F is a point on BC such that AF is the angle bisector of
BAD. E and G are points on BF and AF respectively such that AB // GE. H is a point on AF
such that DH is the angle bisector of ADC.

Answer:
(a) (The answer is skipped.)
(b) (i) 90
(ii) 13 cm
Solution:
(a) Since AF is the angle bisector of BAD, we have ∠ DAF =∠ BAF .
∠ DAF =∠ AFB (alt. s, AD // BC)
∠ BAF =∠ EGF (corr. s, AB // GE)
∠ AFB =∠ EGF
EG = EF (sides opp. eq. s)
EFG is an isosceles triangle.
