ASSOCIATION OF MATHEMATICS TEACHERS OF INDIA
AMTI – NMTC – 2023 November - PRIMARY – FINAL
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Instructions:
1. Answer all questions. Each question carries 10 marks.
2. Elegant and innovative solutions will get extra marks.
3. Diagrams and justification should be given wherever necessary.
4. Before starting to answer, fill in the FACE SLIP completely.
5. Your ‘rough work’ should be done in the answer sheet itself.
6. Maximum time allowed is THREE hours.
1. ABCD is an isosceles trapezium
as shown in the figure, in which
AB = DC ; ∠DAP = 20o ; DP is
perpendicular to AP; ∠C = 70o ;
QR is the bisector of ∠BQD and
PS ⊥ QR.
Calculate ∠SPQ and ∠SRA.
Justify each of the steps in calculation.
2. Ramanujan is a sixth grade student. His mathematics teacher gave a
problem sheet in maths as home task for the Puja holidays. Ramanujan
wants to complete it in 4 days and wants to enjoy the holidays for the
remaining 6 days.
On the first day, he worked out one-fifth the number of problems plus
12 more problems.
On the second day, he worked out one-fourth the remaining problems
plus 15 more problems.
On the third day, he solved one-third of the
remaining problems plus 20 more problems.
The fourth day, he worked out successfully the remaining 60 problems
and completed the work.
Find the total number of problems given by the teacher and the number
of problems solved by Ramanujan on each day.
3. There are 4 cards and on each card a whole number is written. All the
numbers are different from one another. Two girls of grade six, Deepa
and Dilruba play a game.
Deepa takes 3 cards at a time leaving a card behind. She multiplies the
numbers and gets an answer. In the same way, again, she leaves one
different card and selects the other three and multiplies the numbers.
She got the answers 480, 560, 420 and 336.
Now, Dilruba has to find the numbers in each card. Dilruba worked out
and found the correct numbers.
What are they? Work out systematically and find the numbers.

4. An angle is divided into 3 equal parts by two
straight lines; such lines are called trisectors.
ABCD is a square. The lines (AP,AS) are
trisectors of ∠BAD. Similarly, we have the
trisectors (BP,BQ), (CQ,CR) and (DR,DS).
Prove that PQRS is a square.
5. Five squares of different dimensions are arranged in two ways as shown
in the following diagrams. The numbers inside each square represents
its area in square units.
Calculate the perimeter A1A2A3A4A5A6A7A8A9A10A11A12A1 and the
corresponding perimeter of figure 2. Are they same? If they are
different, which is greater?
6. i) In a book, a problem on fractions is given as
1 5 4
2 3
1 4 8 7
1 9 4
3 4
5 7 .
The denominator of the third term is not printed. The answer is given
to be 2. What is the missing denominator? Let it be a.
1
p
ii) Simplify: . Let the answer be of the form where p,q
1 q
3

(5 / 7)
p
have no common factors. Let b .
q

iii) Find the value of 2
b
a
1 1 1
7. a, b are two integers. Find all pairs a and b such that .
a b 2
Arrive at your result logically.
8. A train starts from a station A and travels with constant speed up to
100 kms/hr. After some time, there appeared a problem in the engine
and so the train proceeds with ¾ th of the original speed and arrives at
Station B, late by 90 minutes. Had the problem in the engine occurred
60 kms further on, then the train would have reached 15 minutes
sooner. Find the original speed of the train and distance between
stations A and B.
