1 The diameter of a H1N1 flu virus in a form of a circle is measured by a team of health
officers from WHO as 0.000 131 01 mm. Find the area of the H1N1 flu virus, giving your
answer in square metres and express this answer in standard form correct to 3 significant
figures.
Answer:
1 0.000 131 01 ÷ 10 ÷ 100 Correct

Radius = M1 conversion of
2
−8 mm to m
= 6.5 × 10 m
∴ area of H1N1 flu virus is π × ( 6.5 × 10−8 ) ≈ 1.348 × 10−14

2 (i) Simplify a 2 − ( a − b )( a + b ) .
(ii) Hence evaluate 31.012 − 28.01× 34.01 .
Answer:
2(ai) a 2 − ( a − b )( a + b ) = a 2 − ( a 2 − b 2 )
= a 2 − a 2 + b2
= b2 B1
(aii) Hence, 31.01 − 28.01× 34.01 = 31.01 − ( 31.01 − 3) × ( 31.01 + 3) B1

(iii) If the holding area for all the participants of the 44th National Day Parade contingents
(not shown in this section of map) covers an area of 1.5 square kilometers. Find, in
square centimeters, the area representing the holding area on the same map.
Answer:

11 For the 44th National Day Parade (NDP) held at the Marina Floating Platform (MFP), it is
estimated that a total of 50 000 people gathered at the MFP, Marina and Collyer Quay area
to view and bask in the atmosphere of the Parade and its celebrations.
(a) Given that the holding capacity of the MFP for audience is 2.7 × 104 pax, calculate
the percentage of people gathered at the Marina and Collyer Quay area who
celebrated the National Day outside the MFP.
(b) If in addition to the 50 000 present at the MFP, Marina and Collyer Quay area, an
estimated TV and internet viewership of 3.2 million was also recorded all around the
world. Moreover, 89% of these two groups of people took the National pledge at 20

13 In a bid to encourage Singaporeans to go Green for the environment, Singapore Power
Grid Pte Ltd conducted a survey to find out the extent of Singaporeans’ readiness in this
drive.
Out of a total of 200 Singaporeans surveyed, 130 claimed that they used energy-efficient
electrical appliances while 80 claimed that they had replaced using air-conditioners with
electric fans. The survey also revealed that 30 neither used energy-efficient electrical
appliances nor replaced air-conditioners with electric fans.
If ξ, E and A represent the sets of Singaporeans surveyed, and those who used energy-
efficient electrical appliances and those who replaced using air-conditioners with electric
fans respectively,
(i) draw a Venn diagram to illustrate the above information.
(ii) Find the number of Singaporeans who used energy-efficient electrical appliances and
