2. Five empty jars are labelled A to E. $2 is placed into one jar at
random, $5 into another, $10 into a third, $20 into a fourth and $50
into the remaining jar. Clues to the amounts in some of the jars are
written on signs that are attached to the jars. The signs read as
follows. Which jar contains $20
Jar A: ‘Precisely one of the signs is not telling the truth and that jar
contains $2.’
Jar B: ‘Jar C contains $10.’
Jar C: ‘This jar does not contain $50.’
Jar D: ‘Jar E contains $20.’
Jar E: ‘Jar A contains $5.’

4. A student attempts to solve the simultaneous equations
√2 sin 2𝑥 − 2 cos 2𝑥 = 1 − √2 (A)
1
sin 2𝑥 + 2 √2 cos 2𝑥 = (4 + √2) (B) for −𝜋 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 𝜋.
2
The student's attempt is as follows.
√2 ×(B)-(A)
√2 sin 2𝑥 + 4 cos 2𝑥 − (√2 sin 2𝑥 − 2 cos 2𝑥)
√2
= (4 + √2) − (1 − √2) (I)
2
So 6 cos 2𝑥 = 3√2 (II)
√2
So cos 2𝑥 = (III)
2
𝜋 7𝜋
So 2𝑥 = ± , ± (IV)
4 4
𝜋 7𝜋
So 𝑥 = ± , ± (V)
