Question from ECZ 2016 · O-Level Paper 2 · Question 3

(a) The program below is given in the form of a pseudocode. Start Enter radius If radius < 0 Then display "error message" and re-enter positive radius Else enter height If height < 0 Then display "error message" and re-enter positive height Else Volume = 13 * π * square radius * height End if Display volume Stop Draw the corresponding flowchart for the information given above.[5]

Verified working — step 1

Turn each pseudocode line into its flowchart shape.

(b) In the diagram below, OAB is a triangle in which OA = 3a and OB = 6b. OC : CA = 2 : 3 and AD : DB = 1 : 2. OD meets CB at E.

Diagram for part (b)

(b(i)) Express each of the following in terms of a and/or b

(b(i)(a)) AB,[1]

Verified working — step 1

Route A to B through O.

(b(i)(b)) OD,[1]

Verified working — step 1

AD:DB = 1:2, so AD = (13)AB.

(b(i)(c)) BC.[2]

Verified working — step 1

OC:CA = 2:3, so OC = (25)OA = (25)(3a) = (65)a.

(b(ii)) Given that BE = hBC, express BE in terms of h, a and b.[1]

Verified working — step 1

BE = h BC, so multiply BC by h.
