Full marks are not necessarily awarded for a correct answer with no working. Answers must be
supported by working and/or explanations. Where an answer is incorrect, some marks may be given
for a correct method, provided this is shown by written working. You are therefore advised to show all
working.
Section A
Answer all questions in the boxes provided. Working may be continued below the lines, if necessary.

(a) A two-digit number n is written in the form 10a + b , where a and b are integers. The
two-digit number m is formed by reversing the digits of n. Express m in terms of a and b. [1]
(b) Hence, or otherwise, prove that the difference between a two-digit number and its
reverse is a multiple of nine. [3]

A bag A contains 2 red balls and 3 yellow balls. A bag B contains 4 red balls and 2 yellow balls.
Two balls are randomly selected from one of the bags. If bag A is chosen, then the probabilities
are as follows:
1
P ( 2 red balls ) =
10
3
P ( 2 yellow balls ) =
10
6
P (1 red ball and 1 yellow ball ) =

(a) Calculate the probabilities for the same three outcomes if bag B is chosen. [5]
In order to decide which bag to choose, a fair die with six faces is rolled. If a 1 or 6 is rolled,
then bag A is chosen. If a 2, 3, 4 or 5 is rolled, then bag B is chosen.
The die is rolled and then two balls are drawn from the selected bag.
(b) Calculate the probability that two red balls are selected. [3]
(c) Given that two red balls are obtained, find the probability that a 1 or 6 was rolled
on the die. [4]
