    The document is a script for a grade 11 mathematics contest containing 3 problems. Problem 1 asks to find the length of an arc segment given distances and properties of chords in a semi-circle diagram. Problem 2 asks to find a relationship between variables x and y and sketch it, given a folded equilateral triangle with points on its sides. Problem 3 asks to find the minimum value of n for {3, 4, n} to be a "good set" based on a given definition, and prove that adding this n0 and another variable m does not produce a good set.

    I. (20 marks) As shown in the diagram, the shaded region is a section in


    a semi-circle with centre O. Given that chord MN is parallel to chord PQ, the
    distance between chords MN and PQ is 2m, MN = 6m, and PQ = 8m, find the
    ………………………………Binding………………………………

    length of arc MP (to the nearest 0.001m).

    II. (20 marks) ABC is an equilateral triangle with sides of length 1, and
    D and E are points on the sides AB and AC respectively. The triangle is folded
    along DE such that the vertex A lies directly on top of the point F on side BC. If
    BD = x and BF = y, find a relationship between x and y, and sketch it in the
    Cartesian plane. Find the range of possible values of x.

    III. (20 marks) The set S ( S ⊆ N + ) is defined as a “good set” if for any x

    ( x ∈ S ), the sum of elements of any non-empty subset of S \{x} is not divisible

    by x. ( S \{x} is the set of all elements in S excluding x)

    (1) If {3, 4, n} is a “good set”, find n0 , the minimum value of n;

    (2) Prove that set {3, 4, n0 , m} is not a “good set”, where m ∈ N + .
