Q.1. Three numbers A, B, C are in geometric progression with common ratio r.


Also numbers A, 2B, C are in arithmetic progression. Determine the sum of all
possible values of r. (6 marks)
Q.2. The difference between the H.C.F and the L.C.M of x and 18 is 120. Find x.
(6 marks)
Q.3. The equations have ax2  bx + c = 0 and ax2  (b + 6) x + 3c = 0 have one root
common. Form the equation whose roots are the uncommon roots of the above given
equations. (6 marks)
Q.4. A faulty odometer of a car proceeds from digit 8 to the digit 0 skipping the digit 9
regardless of the place value of the position where 8 occurs. For example travelling 1
km, the odometer changed from 000038 to 000040. If the odometer now reads
002010, find the actual distance travelled by the car. (6 marks)

Q.6. A large equilateral triangle is constructed by using
toothpicks to create rows of small equilateral
triangles. For example, in the figure we have 3 3rd row
rows of small congruent equilateral triangles, with 2nd row
5 small triangles in the base row. Total N number
of toothpicks would be needed to construct a large Base row
equilateral triangle if the base row of the triangle
consists of 2003 small equilateral triangles. Then
find the sum of all digits of N. (8 marks)

Q.8. The number 2024 has the property that its unit digit is the sum of its other digits, i.e.
2 + 0 + 2 = 4. How many integers less than 2024 but greater than 1000 share this
property? (8 marks)
