1. Use the division algorithm to find the quotient q(y) and remainder r(y), when f(y) = 8y4 –
12y3 – 2y2 + 15y – 4 is divided by g(y) = 2y2 – 3y + 1. 2 Marks

4. Prove that if a and b are odd positive integers then a2+b2 is even integer. 2 Marks
5. Express the positive integers 72 and 90 as the product of its prime factors. 2 Marks
8. There is a circular path around a sports field. Ankit takes 18 minutes to drive one round
of the field, while Ankita takes 12 minutes for the same. Suppose they both start at the
same point, at the same time and go in the same direction. After how many minutes will
they meet again at the starting point? 2 Marks
