5. (a) Its base radius = 49 1M (A=r2)
= 7 cm 1A
(b) Its curved surface area = 7 242 7 2 1M (A=r )
= 175 cm2 1A

6. (a) The median = 1.5 1A
The mode = 1 1A
(b) The new median = 2 1A
∴ Yes, the median will increase. 1 f.t.

7. Let x be the number of pinwheel B sold.
12x + 8(260 – x) < 2600 1M(12B+8A)+1M (260 – x)+1A (< 2600)
12x + 2080 – 8x < 2600
4x < 520 1M (x-term)
x < 130 1A
∴ The maximum number of pinwheel B sold is 129. 1A

(b) Since SPR PRS , SP SR . 1M
Given that SP = SQ ,
we have SQ SR .
So, PS is not a median of PQR . 1A f.t.
