The Collatz Conjecture says if you start with any number and follow these steps, you'll always end up at 1
We need 5-digit numbers between 35,000 and 75,000 where all digits are odd.
Smallest number: Start with the smallest odd digits for each place:
A valid number below 50,000 is 49,999 because all digits are odd and it’s closest to 50,000.

(b) How many more persons were employed in government service than in private service?
We will represent the data with a pictograph. Let each picture of a child represent 500 children. Based
on this, we calculate the number of symbols for each colony:
B 1500 1500/500 = =3
E 1000 1000/500 =2
F 1500 1500/500 =3

B 1500 👶👶👶
C 2000 👶👶👶👶
D 1250 👶👶½
E 1000 👶👶
F 1500 👶👶👶
The bar graph shows the temperature (in °C) at different times of the day.
(iv) At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, there was a thunderstorm. How is this borne out by the graph?
The graph shows a sudden drop in temperature from 30°C at 2:00 PM to 10°C at 4:00 PM,
indicating a thunderstorm.
(v) Using the maximum and minimum temperatures, find the average temperature for the day.
The HCF of two consecutive even numbers is always 2 because they differ by 2 (the smallest
prime factor of even numbers is always 2).
The LCM of two prime numbers is the product of the two numbers because prime numbers have
no common factors other than 1.
For example:
o 16 is divisible by 3 → Divisible by 3.
o 60 is divisible by 4 → Divisible by 4.
6. Divisibility by 7:
o 14560÷7=208014560 ÷ 7 = 208014560÷7=2080 (exact division) → Divisible by 7.
o 16 is divisible by 9 → Divisible by 9.
(b) 726352
6. Divisibility by 7:
(c) 12159
o 18 is divisible by 3 → Divisible by 3.
6. Divisibility by 7:
o 18 is divisible by 9 → Divisible by 9.
(d) 12150
o 9 is divisible by 3 → Divisible by 3.
o 50 is divisible by 4 → Divisible by 4.
6. Divisibility by 7:
o 9 is divisible by 9 → Divisible by 9.
(e) 639210
o 21 is divisible by 3 → Divisible by 3.
3. Divisibility by 4: Last two digits = 10
6. Divisibility by 7:
o 21 is divisible by 9 → Divisible by 9.
We know that every odd number can be expressed as the sum of three odd primes.
o 3 + 19 + 49 = 71.
So, 71 = 3 + 19 + 49.
o 11 + 13 = 24.

A2. Let’s assume the scores for the last five matches are as follows:
Match Score
Match 1 78
Match 2 85
Match 3 92
Match 4 70
Match 5 88
We are given:
3x+2y=15
Also, since these are counts of shots, both x and y must be non-negative integers.
Step-by-Step:
Solving for x:
3x=15−2y, x=15−2y/3
15−2y should be divisible by 3.
3(5−y)=15
If y=5
3x+2(5)=15 ⟹ 3x=5
Solution:
3-pointers: 5
2-pointers: 5
