1.(a)
Given that the family consists of
1 husband
1 wife
2 boys
1 girl
total number of members in the family is 5.
No of people who can attend the dance is 3.

Hence there is 1 way of selecting 3 members to attend the dance.

2.(a)
It is given that codes are formed from the word "MATHEMATICS" and
each code consists of 5 letters.

Since there are two "M", two "A" and two "T", the total number of codes that
can be formed is
9!

=
2!2!2! (9 3)!!2!2!2!

3.(a)(ii)
Let FS be the number of female workers who have attained the secondary
level of education.

From the given table, there are 150 female workers who have attained
the secondary level of education.
Then n(FS) = 150

Expressing the given information in matrix form, we get
1 2 3 x 14

1 2 1 y = 8

Using the augmented matrix, we have

x + 2 y + 3z = 14

[1]

From equation (2), we have: z = 3

[1]

Substituting z = 3 into equation (3) gives

5 y + 8(3) = 34

5 y = 10
y=2

[1]

Substituting y = 2 and z = 3 into equation (1) gives

x + 2(2) + 3(3) = 14
x + 13 = 14
x =1

[1]

Hence the profits on P1, P2 and P3 are 1, 2 and 3 respectively.

Since | z | = 2 and arg (z) =

z =| z | [cos(arg( z )) + i sin(arg( z ))]
= 2(cos

Hence z = 2(cos
