Question 56:

• WAEC 2012

(a) Two items are selected at random from four items labelled (p, q, r, s).
(i) List the sample space if sampling is done (1) with replacement ; (2) without replacement.
(ii) Find the probability that r is at least one of the two objects selected : (1) in a(i)1 ; (2) in a(i)2.
(b) How many whole numbers from 100 to 999 are divisible by (i) 4 ; (ii) both 3 and 4?

Question 57:

• WAEC 2012

(a) A body P of mass 5kg is suspended by two light inextensible strings AP and BP attached to a ceiling. If the strings are inclined at angles 40° and 30° respectively to the downward vertical, find the tension in each of the strings. [Take \(g = 10 ms^{-2}\)].
(b) A constant force F acts on a toy car of mass 5 kg and increases its velocity from 5 ms\(^{-1}\) to 9 ms\(^{-1}\) in 2 seconds. Calculate :
(i) the magnitude of the force ; (ii) velocity of the toy car 3 seconds after attaining a velocity of 9 ms\(^{-1}\).
