ITEM1
Following the passing away of a grand father, the family convened a month later to
settle his estate and read his will, to which you were invited. However, a surprise
revelation emerged when the youngest child revealed a mysterious envelope left by
the grand father, containing a secretive message. The envelope contained a piece of
paper with the number 31, which needed to be converted to a ternary numeral
system (base three) to unlock the secret code to gain access to his office strongbox.
But, to their dismay, none of the family members recalled how to perform the
conversion, and they turned to you for assistance. the secret code to gain access to
his office strongbox. Upon opening the safe, they discovered a staggering 349 million
shillings and a will outlining the distribution of the wealth. The will stipulated that
the grand mother was to receive 40% of the total, the eldest son was to receive one-
third of the remaining amount, and the two younger grand children were to share
the balance in a 2:3 ratio according to their birth order. To ensure a fair and
impartial distribution, your expertise was sought once again to calculate the exact
share for each beneficiary, preventing any potential disputes or biases.
TASK;
a) Advice the family on how to unlock the safe.
b) Show, how you helped the family to receive their shares fairly.
ITEM2
You have friends who rear cows and goats. During the festive season, they want to

that the number of goats they sell are less than twice the number of cows. They
also do not want to sell more than 20 animals all together. They wish to maximize
sales by selling each goat at Shs200,000/= and each cow at Shs1.5 millions but they
do not know the number of goats and cows to sell to fulfill their wish.
TASK
(a)write mathematical statements that show the relation between the cows and
goats.
(b) Show the feasible region of the relation on the Cartesian plane.
ITEM3
Your brother wants to design a children's playground. The playground will have a
triangular garden and a circular fence around the garden. The two sides of the
triangular garden will measure 50 m and 70 m, and the angle between them will be

Your brother intends to put pavers in the region outside the triangular garden but
inside the circular fence. Each square metre of pavers costs Shs 35,000. Your
brother needs help in identifying the type of triangle represented by the triangular
garden, coming up with an accurate design of the playground as well as the cost of
buying the pavers.
TASK:
Help your brother to:
(a) construct an accurate design of the children's playground.
(b) identify the type of triangle represented by the triangular garden and give a
reason for your answer.
(c) determine the amount of money needed to buy the pavers
ITEM 4
A class of 156 students in S.4 class were asked to pay Shs. 5,000 each student per
subject of Chemistry, Agriculture and Entrepreneurship projects. In the end, 100
paid for Entrepreneurship, 98 paid for Chemistry and 121 paid for Agriculture. It
was also found out that, 63 paid for both Entrepreneurship and Chemistry, 81 paid
for both Entrepreneurship and Agriculture and 85 paid for both Chemistry and
Agriculture. One student paid for Entrepreneurship only. Now the School need to
decide whether to use Agriculture project if more than 60% paid for Agriculture for
the project scores to be submitted to UNEB.
TASK
(a) Determine the number of students who paid for at least one subject and the
sum of money collected from them.
(b) Determine the number of students who did not pay for any of the subjects at
all.
(c) What percentage of students paid solely for Chemistry?
(d) Based on the findings, advice the school on whether to take the decision or not.

ITEM5
Your neighbor has a building structure that is at a roofing stage with the roof
frame installed as shown below:
The roof frame has a rectangular base with dimensions of 20 m by 6 m and the
ridge board of 14 m centrally placed. The triangular faces are equilateral.
She wants to use iron sheets that are available in two types; type A and type B.
The iron sheet of type A costs Shs33,000 each and that of type B costs Shs42,000.
Each iron sheet has a length of 10ft and usable width of 2.623 ft. (1ft = 0.3m) The
hardware shop from which she wants to buy the iron sheets gives a discount of 6%
on the total cost of every fifty (50) iron sheets of type A bought and a discount of
10% on the total cost of every seventy (70) iron sheets of type B bought. She
intends to borrow money from a bank to buy the iron sheets but she is not so sure
of the amount to borrow.
TASK:
(a) Help your neighbor to estimate the amount of money to be borrowed from
the bank for either type of iron sheets.
(b) Give your neighbor advice, with reason(s), on the type of iron sheets to buy.
