1 BRITISH COLUMBIA SECONDARY SCHOOL MATHEMATICS CONTEST, 006 Senior Preliminary Round Problems & Solutions 1. Exactly % of the people replied yes when asked if they used BLEU-OUT face cream. The fewest number of people who could have been asked is: (A) 9999 (B) 3333 (C) 1111 (D) 111 (E) 11 We want to write % as a rational number in lowest terms. Since % = ( = ( ) ) = = , it follows that % = = Hence the minimum number of people that could have been asked is Answer is (C).. An object moved in a straight line for 8 seconds at a constant speed. It then reversed direction and travelled back along the same straight line for 3 seconds at twice its initial speed. It then reversed direction again and travelled for one second at 40% of its initial speed. If the object is 9.6 m from where it started at the end of the 1 seconds, its initial speed was: (A) 3 m/s (B) 4 m/s (C) 4.5 m/s (D) 5 m/s (E) 6 m/s Let v be the initial speed. Recalling that an object moving with speed v for time t goes a distance d = vt, and using the given information, we have v(8) (v)(3) + (0.4v)(1) = 8v 6v + 0.4v =.4v = 9.6 v = 4 So the initial speed is 4 m/s. Answer is (B). 3. The value of ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) is: (A) (B) -5 (C) 5 (D) 1000 (E) 15 Let x = , then the expression above is x (x + 5)(x 5) = x ( x 5 ) = x x + 5 = 5
2 BCSSMC 006 Senior Preliminary Round Problems & Solutions Page 4. A cylindrical round of cheese is cut into several pieces using seven cuts. Five cuts are vertical, perpendicular to the top of the round, and two at a diagonal, as shown in the diagram. Each cut is made with a straight blade and the diagonal cuts are made through the lines formed by the vertical cuts. The total number of pieces of cheese that result is: (A) 1 (B) 4 (C) 36 (D) 54 (E) 60 The five vertical cuts divide the block of cheese into twelve pieces. The first of the diagonal cuts passes through a single row of pieces and hence adds three pieces to the total. The second diagonal cut passes through two rows of pieces and adds six pieces to the total. Therefore there are = 1 pieces of cheese. 5. The semicircle centred at O has a diameter of 6 units. The chord BC is parallel to the diameter AD and is one third the length. The area of the trapezoid ABCD, in square units, is: (A) 4 (B) 4 5 (C) (D) (E) 8 A 4 Let a = AD, b = BC and h be the perpendicular distance between the chord BC and the diameter AD. The area A of the trapezoid ABCD is given by A = 1 (a + b)h. Since a = d and b = d/3, where d is the diameter of the circle, we have A = 1 4d 3 h = 3 dh. We need only determine h. Consider the right triangle BOE formed by dropping a perpendicular from B to the point E on the diameter AD. The length of this perpendicular is h, and BO = d/ since BO is a radius of the circle. Further, by symmetry AE +BC = d AE = d/3, so that EO = d/ d/3 = d/6. Then using Pythagoras Theorem gives d 36 + h = d 4, which gives h = d. It follows that the area of the trapezoid is given by 3 A = 9 d = 9 36 = 8. If you don t remember the formula for the area of a trapezoid, we can break the area into the sum of the areas of two triangles and a rectangle. Then we get A = 1 d 3 h + d 3 h + 1 d 6 h = d 3 h + d 3 h = 3 dh h B E O C D as above. Answer is (E).
3 BCSSMC 006 Senior Preliminary Round Problems & Solutions Page 3 6. The difference between the sum of the first 100 positive multiples of 3 and the sum of the first 100 positive even integers is: (A) 5000 (B) 5050 (C) (D) 55 (E) None of these Let D denote this difference, then D = 3k k = k. Now, since n k = n(n + 1)/, D = = Answer is (B). 7. The maximum number of pieces of a circular pie that can be cut by six straight cuts of a knife is: (A) 6 (B) 7 (C) 1 (D) 16 (E) The first cut always produces two pieces of pie. If the remaining five cuts pass through the centre of the pie, then each cut passes through exactly two pieces. This means that each cut adds two more pieces of pie for a total of twelve pieces of pie. However, if we have k 1 lines in the plane, we can always add a k th line l such that: 1. l intersects each of the k 1 lines, and. l intersects no more than two lines intersect at a single point. Moreover, if the k 1 lines divide the plane into a total of m regions, then line l adds k + 1 regions to the total. If we ensure that all intersection points are in the interior of the pie, then the maximum number of pieces M that can be cut from the pie is M = =. Answer is (E). 8. A certain set S has 4 more subsets than a second set T. The number of elements in set S is: (A) (B) 3 (C) 4 (D) 5 (E) 6 Suppose that S has n elements, then S has a total of n subsets. Since χ = n 4 is the total number of subsets of the set T, χ must be a power of. Since 5 4 = 8 = 3, the set S must have 5 elements.
4 BCSSMC 006 Senior Preliminary Round Problems & Solutions Page 4 9. Without using any number more than once, a selection of numbers from 5, 7, 3, 1, 6, 15, 9, 30, 1, and 19 gives a sum of 50. The number of numbers needed is: (A) 3 (B) 4 (C) 5 (D) 6 (E) 7 Every number in the given set of numbers is a multiple of 3 except for 5 and 19. Further, subtracting either 5 or 19 from 50 gives a result that is not a multiple of three. So both 5 and 19 must be included in the sum. Since = 44, the other number is 6. This is the only selection of numbers from the given set of numbers that adds to 50. So there are three numbers in the selection. 10. If x = then x is equal to: (A) (B) + (C) 4 (D) 6 (E) Answer is infinite We have x = + x, which implies that x must satisfy the quadratic equation x x = 0. Since x x = (x )(x + 1), the solutions of this quadratic equation are x 1, =, 1. However x > 0 so x =. 11. There are 1 roads connecting a certain number of towns. Each road connects exactly two towns. Six of the towns can be reached by exactly three roads. The rest can be reached by exactly four roads. The number of towns in total is: (A) 6 (B) 8 (C) 10 (D) 1 (E) 16 If we think of the towns as nodes in a graph, then the roads are the edges. The degree of a node is the number of edges connected to it and since each edge is connected to two nodes, the sum of the degrees of all of the nodes in the graph is twice the number of edges. Let n be the number of towns that can be reached by four roads (i.e. the number of nodes of degree 4). Then we find that n = 1 or 4n = 4. There are 6 + 4/4 = 1 towns in total.
5 BCSSMC 006 Senior Preliminary Round Problems & Solutions Page 5 1. Consider the fraction If you swap two digits in the numerator with two digits in the denominator a fraction equalling 1 3 results. The sum of the digits in the final numerator is: (A) 10 (B) 11 (C) 1 (D) 13 (E) 15 Since the new denominator must be 3 times the new numerator, the new numerator must be a multiple of 3. Since no multiple of 3 ends in 0, the 0 must be swapped into the denominator and it cannot be put into the left most position. Further, it cannot be swapped with the 5, since then there would have to be a 5 in the right most position in the new numerator and then there would also be a 5 in the right most position of the new denominator. Thus, we must swap the 0 in the numerator with the second 4 in the denominator. (The new denominator cannot start with 0). We cannot swap the 1 in the numerator with any of the remaining digits in the denominator, otherwise 3 times the new numerator will be too large. Also, swapping the 1 into the denominator will mean that the new denominator will not be a multiple of 3. This means that there are only four possibilities to try: swap the 6 and the 4, swap the 6 and the 5, swap the 3 and the 4, or swap the 3 and the 5. Only the first and last of these leaves the denominator a multiple of 3. Now we just check the two remaining possibilities: = and = 460 So the new numerator is 1534 and the sum of the digits is = 13.
