(a)π cm²
(b)4π cm
(c)2π cm
(d)π cm

(a)45
(b)130
(c)90
(d)50
6.A written description of a diagram states: 'AB is marked with a single arrow, CD is marked with a single arrow, and EF is marked with a double arrow.' Using the standard convention for marking parallel lines, what can be concluded?
(a)AB, CD and EF are all parallel
(b)None of the lines are parallel
(c)AB ∥ CD only; EF not confirmed
(d)EF is parallel to AB

(a)Right-angled
(b)Isosceles
(c)Scalene
(d)Equilateral
8.Two straight lines PQ and RS cross at point O. Angle POR = 52°. Work out angle QOS.
(a)104°
(b)38°
(c)52°
(d)128°
9.A circle has a diameter of 4 cm. Work out the radius of the circle.
(a)8 cm

10.A market stall sells apples at £2.40 per kilogram. Which of these expressions gives the cost, in pounds, of buying m kilograms of apples?
(a)2.40m
(b)m/2.40
(c)m − 2.40

11.Triangle ABC has AB = 6 cm and BC = 9 cm, with angle A = 40°. Triangle DEF has DE = 6 cm and EF = 9 cm, with angle D = 40°. Meera says these facts prove the triangles are congruent by SAS. Is Meera correct?
(a)Yes — two sides and one angle match
(b)No — the angle given is not the included angle
(c)No — SSS needs three equal sides, not two
(d)Yes — SAS allows any equal angle, not just the included one
