SECTION B

11. Mr. Lwanga and Mr. Okot were each given Uganda shillings 980,000 at the beginning of 1999. Mr. Lwanga exchanged his money to united states dollars and then banked it on his foreign currency account at a compound interest rate of 2% per annum, while Mr. Okot banked his money without exchanging it, at a compound interest rate of 12% per annum. The exchange rates in 1999 and 2000 were ug.shs1, 250 and ug.shs1, 500 to a dollar respectively. If Mr. Okot withdrew shs120, 000 at the end of 2000.

(i) Calculate the amount of money (in ug.shs) each man had in the bank at the end of 2000.

(ii) Who had more money and by how much?

12. Two cyclists C1 and C2 begin traveling at the same time from town A to town B, 18km apart. C1 travels at a steady speed of 15km h-1 faster than that of cyclist C2 who also travels at a steady speed. When C1 has covered half the distance, he delays for half an hour, after which he travels at a speed 20% less his original speed. He arrives in town B is minutes earlier than cyclist C2.

(i) Determine the speeds of the two cyclists, C1 and C2.

(ii) If cyclist C2 started from town B while C1at the same time started from town A and all the two travel non-stop, determine the distance from town A where the two cyclists will meet. After how long will they meet?

13. Using suitable scales, plot on the same axes the graphs of y = 2x2 and for -2≤ x ≤ 3. Use your graphs to estimate the solutions of the equations:

(i) 4x2 - 5x - 10 = 0,

(ii) 6x2 + 10x - 30 = 0.

a) Using a scale of 1 cm to represent 20 km, make an accurate drawing to show the relative positions and distances of towns A, B, C and D.

b) Determine The

(i) Shortest distance and bearing of town C from town A.

(ii) Distance and bearing of town B from town C.
