2 © UCLES 2014 0607/63/M/J/14 Answer both parts A and B. A INVESTIGATION TOTALS (20 marks) You are advised to spend no more than 45 minutes on this part. This investigation looks at possible totals when you make addition sums using only two different positive integers. The integers have no common factor unless otherwise stated. Example Using only 3 and 4 you can make a total of 23. 23 = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 4. This is written as 23 = 5 × 3 + 2 × 4. In the table below, when a total is possible, the calculation is shown. When a total is not possible, the cell is crossed out. Totals using only 3 and 4 Total 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Calculation 1 × 3 1 × 4 2 × 3 1 × 3 + 1 × 4 2 × 4 You can make all the totals bigger than 8 by adding 3 to the possible totals 6, 7, 8, … to get 9, 10, 11, … . The largest total that is not possible is 5. 1 (a) Complete the tables below. One integer is always 2. Totals using only 2 and 3 Total 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Calculation 1 × 2 1 × 3 2 × 2 2 × 3 2 × 2 + 1 × 3 The largest total that is not possible is 1.

(a) Complete this new inequality for x. < x < (b) Because of cost, the engineers want the area, A cm2, to be less than 450 cm2. Use your answer to part (a) and question 2 to show that this is not possible. (c) The engineers decide to allow an area of metal which is less than 500 cm2. Complete this inequality for x. < x < Question 6 is printed on the next page.

CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINATIONS International General Certificate of Secondary Education MARK SCHEME for the May/June 2014 series 0607 CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL MATHEMATICS 0607/63 Paper 6 (Extended), maximum raw mark 40 This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and candidates, to indicate the requirements of the examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers. Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for Teachers. Cambridge will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes. Cambridge is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2014 series for most IGCSE, GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level components and some Ordinary Level components.
