QUESTION 6
On 1 July 2010, David bought a tractor for R2 000 000. On that day, he paid a deposit
of 25% of the purchase price and the bank granted him a loan at an interest rate of
9,5% per annum, compounded quarterly, to pay off the balance of the purchase price.
David agreed to pay quarterly instalments of R58 000, starting on 1 January 2011.
6.1 How much money did David borrow from the bank? (2)
6.2 How many quarterly instalments are required to pay off the loan? (6)
6.3 Calculate the amount owing on the loan immediately after David paid his
quarterly instalment on 1 July 2016, i.e. six years after he bought the tractor. (4)
6.4 Hence, calculate the amount of interest that David had paid on this loan until
immediately after paying his quarterly instalment on 1 July 2016. (4)

QUESTION 9
A hunter was standing at point A, along the fence of a rectangular game enclosure,
when he spotted a deer standing at point B, the corner of the rectangular enclosure.
The distance from A to B is 1 200 m. At exactly the same time as the hunter started to
move in an easterly direction towards B, the deer started to move in a southerly
direction towards D. The hunter moves at 4 metres per second and the deer moves at 5
metres per second. After t seconds, the hunter is at a point H and the deer is at point D.
A H B
D
The hunter tries to shoot the deer but with his caliber rifle he must be at most 800 m
from the deer.
9.1 Show that the distance between the hunter and the deer (HD) at t seconds after
they both started moving can be written as:
HD(t) = 41t 2 - 9 600t + 1 440 000 (4)
9.2 How long after they started walking, were they the nearest to one another?
Show all calculations. (3)
9.3 The calibre of the hunter’s rifle allows him to be at most 800 m from his target.
Was the hunter within shooting range of the deer at the time when they were
nearest to each other? Show all calculations. (3)

QUESTION 10
The rules for the final game of the North West Hockey tournament specify that there
must be a winner. In the event of a draw, the winner will be determined by a penalty-
flick shootout.
On the day that the final game of the North West Hockey tournament takes place, there
is a 45% chance that it could rain, a 32% chance that it could be cloudy or it could be
sunny. The team from Taung, a low rainfall area, has an 18% chance of winning the
tournament on a rainy day, a 39% chance of winning on a cloudy day and a 63%
chance of winning on a sunny day.
10.1 Draw a tree diagram to represent all outcomes of the above information. (2)
10.2 What is the probability of the Taung hockey team winning the final game of the
tournament? (4)

QUESTION 11
A horse breeder has 9 single horse stables in a row next to each other. He has 4
stallions (male horses) and 5 mares (female horses), where one of the stallions is his
breeding stallion and one of the mares his breeding mare. The horses are placed
randomly in the stables.
11.1 In how many different ways can the 9 horses be placed in the 9 stables? (1)
11.2 In how many different ways can the 9 horses be placed if the breeder wants to
place the breeding stallion and breeding mare next to each another? (2)
11.3 What is the probability that there will be a mare placed on both ends of the row
stables? (3)
11.4 If 5 stables became unavailable due to renovations, in how many different ways
can the breeder place his horses in the remaining single stables such that there
will be at least one mare in these stables? (3)
