Harinder has 14 000 US Dollars (USD) to invest for a period of five years. He has two options of how to invest the money.
Option A: Invest the full amount, in USD, in a fixed deposit account in an American bank.
The account pays a nominal annual interest rate of r % , compounded yearly, for the five years. The bank manager says that this will give Harinder a return of 17 500 USD.
Option B: Invest the full amount, in Indian Rupees (INR), in a fixed deposit account in an Indian bank. The money must be converted from USD to INR before it is invested.
The exchange rate is 1 USD = 66.91 INR.
The account in the Indian bank pays a nominal annual interest rate of 5.2 % compounded monthly.
Calculate the value of r.
Calculate 14 000 USD in INR.
Calculate the amount of this investment, in INR, in this account after five years.
Harinder chose option B. At the end of five years, Harinder converted this investment back to USD. The exchange rate, at that time, was 1 USD = 67.16 INR.
Calculate how much more money, in USD, Harinder earned by choosing option B instead of option A.
A large underground tank is constructed at Mills Airport to store fuel. The tank is in the shape of an isosceles trapezoidal prism, ABCDEFGH.
AB=70 m , AF=200 m, AD=40 m, BC=40 m and CD=110 m. Angle ADC=60° and angle BCD=60°. The tank is illustrated below.
Once construction was complete, a fuel pump was used to pump fuel into the empty tank. The amount of fuel pumped into the tank by this pump each hour decreases as an arithmetic sequence with terms u1, u2, u3, …, un.
Part of this sequence is shown in the table.
At the end of the 2nd hour, the total volume of fuel in the tank was 88 200 m3.

A pan, in which to cook a pizza, is in the shape of a cylinder. The pan has a diameter of 35 cm and a height of 0.5 cm.
A chef had enough pizza dough to exactly fill the pan. The dough was in the shape of a sphere.
The pizza was cooked in a hot oven. Once taken out of the oven, the pizza was placed in a dining room.
The temperature, P, of the pizza, in degrees Celsius, °C, can be modelled by
P(t)=a(2.06)−t+19, t⩾0
where a is a constant and t is the time, in minutes, since the pizza was taken out of the oven.
When the pizza was taken out of the oven its temperature was 230 °C.
The pizza can be eaten once its temperature drops to 45 °C.
