Hinzugefügt: 2026-05-05

[00:00:00]Hello everyone. Welcome back to the channel. Today we will be going through Cambridge IGCSE Feb-March 2026 paper 1 2. Uh this is a non-calculator paper, so you have to do all your calculations on your own, right? So first question we have here, subtract 9 from 1,321.

[00:00:22]So we subtract 9 from here, so we get here two, then one, three, one. So this is our answer.

[00:00:30]>> [clears throat] >> Now divide 814 by uh two. So when you divide this, so we get here two, uh 0 7.

[00:00:40]So it's a direct division, very simple questions. Write down the multiples of uh six that are nearest to 20.

[00:00:48]So multiples of six are six, 12, then we have 18, and then we have 24. So if you see the nearest one here is uh 18. So we will write down 18 here.

[00:01:03]The difference between 18 and 20 is the uh minimum than other uh multiples, right? Now 25 uh sorry, two number two question is 25 people own a bike. So Flo asked each of these 25 uh what type of bike they own. The bar chart shows some of these results. You can see racing and road, and this mountain is empty. Uh complete the bar chart of the mountain bikes. Now we have the total is 25 here.

[00:01:36]>> [clears throat] >> And the other two are given. Uh racing as you can see here, it is seven. Uh you go from here, and this if you see it is 10. So what is the remaining? So for the mountain the remaining is going to be it's out of 25, we are going to subtract these two, 10 plus uh seven. So 25 minus seven 15 minus uh 25 minus 17 it is eight. So for mountain we will have eight. So uh the frequency is eight, so we will draw the bar chart here. So you use your ruler, and then you can draw these lines. So this in is eight.

[00:02:19]>> [snorts] >> Now B part, how many more people, how many more people own road bike than racing bike? So basically we are comparing this racing and road bike. So the difference is going to give us the uh how much more is that. So 10 minus seven, so this is three, right?

[00:02:42]Now number three, write 0.47 as a percentage. So we remove the decimal like this over 100, right? There are two digits after the decimal, and a percentage is out of 100, so multiply it by 100. So we got here 47.

[00:03:02]>> [snorts] >> So now 9 over 100 as decimal, 9 over 100. There are two zeros, so it should be two decimal places. Nine, and we put zero here, then we put decimal. So 0.09.

[00:03:17]Now number four, shade uh 3/10 of the square on the grid. So uh first of all we need to see how many squares are uh to in total we have here.

[00:03:31]So this side we have one, two, three, four, and five. This side we have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and eight. So eight times five we have total is 40.

[00:03:45]We are looking for 3/10. So out of 10 uh three are shaded. So if we have total, then how much will be shaded? So if you multiply this by four, we get here 40, right? Same we have to do on the in the numerator. Three times four it is 12. So meaning we will uh shade 12 squares. You can choose any 12, right? Here is five.

[00:04:11]We can shade like this five, and then this is five, 10, then two more.

[00:04:20]Right? So anyway, you can also uh use eight from here, then four from here. It's up to you what square you are going to shade.

[00:04:30]Now here, seven of the regions are shaded. Shade three more uh regions so that 1/5 of the total area is shaded.

[00:04:41]Now be careful, it's written total area.

[00:04:44]So and all these uh you know, area shaded area is different. You can see this and this is more, and this one is the other ones are smaller here, right?

[00:04:54]So we need to count first of all how many are they. So I'll start from here, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and 10. We have 10 sections this way, and the other side we have here one, two, three, four, and five.

[00:05:12]Inside we have uh five. So in that means the total sections are 50. 10 times uh five 50. So this has been divided into 50 uh sections. Now seven are shaded here. You can see we have the seven, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven are shaded. Shade three more regions so that 1/5 of the shaded. Now you can see we will first go for the first layer. If you go for the first layer here, the first layer, sorry. Uh this layer here, if you go like this, if you see here, so two are already shaded here. We go to the second layer here, the second one. If you go around, you see only one is shaded. So we can shade one more for that, right? So let me choose this one.

[00:06:03]So we can shade one more.

[00:06:06]Like this. So one is shaded, two more.

[00:06:09]Now we go for the uh third layer to check. So if you go third layer here, so go around circular way, you see none of them is shaded. So we can shade two more. So let's shade two more, then it will complete our >> [snorts] >> the equal area that will be shaded now that is given for the three more uh regions, right?

[00:06:35]Now number five, these are the first four terms of the sequence.

[00:06:40]Uh 6,000 660, and six. If I see here, if we divide by 10, we can get everywhere. You can see one zero is getting uh less than the previous one. So divide by 10. So write down the term-to-term rule is divide by 10. Right?

[00:07:01]Now these are the first four terms of the different sequence. Uh find the next two terms. So let's see, observe. When you subtract 27 and 21, we got six. 21 uh minus 15 is six. 15 is So that means we are subtracting it by six. So the next term is going to be minus six. Nine minus six is three. Uh then three minus six is going to be negative three. So that is going to be the next term. Again minus six. So three and negative three are the next two terms.

[00:07:37]Now number six, an isosceles triangle has side 4 cm and side length 6 cm.

[00:07:44]There are two possible triangles that can be drawn that are not congruent uh to each other. Meaning congruent means they are uh same shape and size. So same shape and same size, right? But they said it's not congruent. So an isosceles triangle is four. One triangle is four having length 4 cm, and also 6 cm. So isosceles triangle, we need two sides equal.

[00:08:15]Right? Two sides equal, so either it can have like 4 cm, 4 cm, and then six. Or it can have six, six, and four. So this also is the isosceles triangle. So meaning this is given to us. This is 4 cm, and this is also 4 cm.

[00:08:34]So another side, both sides can be 6 cm.

[00:08:37]So open if it is we have four this is 4 cm, 6 cm, and 6 cm. So this is a also an isosceles triangle, right? So open your um compass with radius 6 cm, and draw an arc like this. And also from other point draw an arc. So then you will get an isosceles triangle. So try uh join these points here. So 6 cm here, and 6 cm here. So this is the one possibility.

[00:09:07]Another possibility you may have like uh 4 cm, 4 cm, and 6 cm. So 4 cm already given, so place your compass here, and open a 4 cm, and draw an arc like this here. And another one on other side you open 6 cm from here, and draw an arc. So this is also going to be an isosceles triangle. Right? So this is 4 cm, and this is going to be 6 cm. Make sure that you use your compass and ruler to draw all these arcs and the lines, right?

[00:09:45]Now number seven, Krish has six uh x plus four marbles, and Joe has nine minus six marbles. Write down an expression for the total number. So of that Krish and Joe has. So, that means we are just going to add it. So, 6x + 4 and + 9 - x. So, now next line read all the state instructions carefully. Give your answer in its simplest form. Meaning we are going to simplify.

[00:10:14]So, 6x - x is 5x.

[00:10:17]9 + 4 it is 13. So, final answer is 5x + 13.

[00:10:24]Now, part B we are given Chris has more marbles than Joe. Chris marble is 6x + 4 and Joe has 9 - x. So, meaning this is greater. Chris's marbles are greater than this. So, write down an expression for how many more marbles Chris and Joe has. Again, we have a an expression no numbers here. So, meaning we are going to subtract. So, whenever we want to find out the difference we subtract. So, 6x + 4 - 9 - x. So, now we simplify. 6x + 4 when you expand the bracket so, these signs are going to change. So, 6x + x is 7x and 4 - 9 it's -5. So, 7x - 5, right?

[00:11:17]Now, number eight write down the two prime numbers that are greater than 20 but less than 20 less than 30. So, as you can see the numbers between prime numbers 23 and 29. So, these are the numbers that are only divisible by number itself and one. So, these are the two numbers that can be written here.

[00:11:43]Now, number nine we have work out the difference between 5 squared. 5 squared is 25 and 2 cubed is 8. And we are looking for the difference. So, for the difference we are just going to subtract. 25 - 8 that is 17.

[00:12:01]Now, write down the reciprocal of four. So, reciprocal of four means you are just going to take the swipe the numerator and the denominator. As you can see we don't see any denominator here. So, meaning four is equivalent to four over one. So, and then the reciprocal is going to be 1 over 4.

[00:12:25]1 over 4. If you want to know the detailed video on these topics the small small you can check out the places list on my channel and we have the concept ways video also there.

[00:12:38]Now, write down an irrational number that is between four and five. So, as you know that 16 square root is four and 25 square root is five. So, we are looking number between this and this.

[00:12:53]So, you can take any number. Any number that comes between this 16 and 25 it can be square root 17 square root 18 then square root 19 square root 20 and square root 21 square root 22 square root 23 and square root 24. So, you can choose any of these numbers, right? I'm just writing here square root 17.

[00:13:23]Right? Now, number 10 we have here work out the values of A, B and C. So, now as you can see these we have these arrows here. Do you see these arrows here? So, these arrows means this line these two lines are parallel, right? So, whenever we have parallel lines so we can use the angle properties to find out the angles. Work out the value of ABC.

[00:13:50]So, if I see here if we go around like this here so, we have the Z shape, right? If A is this the A and 60 are going to be alternate angles. So, A is going to be 60. Why? Because it is an alternate angle.

[00:14:08]Right? We see the Z shape. Now, the second one for the B. So, if I look around here so, we can see the F shape here like this.

[00:14:20]You see that? So, whenever we have F shape like this so, this angle and this angle they are called corresponding angle. So, if this is 65 this is also going to be 65.

[00:14:32]So, it's 65. Why? Because they are corresponding angles, right?

[00:14:41]Now, for C you can see this these three angles are on a straight line. So, we can just find the the sum of these angles is going to be um 180. So, C is going to 180 then 60 + 65, right? So, this is equal to 55.

[00:15:09]Right?

[00:15:10]So, now let's move to the next one. Put one pair of brackets into each calculations to make it correct. So, here you have to use trial and error method.

[00:15:21]So, if you put bracket here then we get here 6 * 5 30.

[00:15:27]30 - this will become eight. So, this is not the case. So, if we put bracket here and another one can be here then this is 6 * inside the bracket we have 5 + 5 10 -3 7. 6 * 7 is 42. So, our bracket this is good enough over here.

[00:15:50]Now, this one here we have negative. So, let's say we I put bracket here let's try. 4 - this is 100 / 10. So, 100 / 10 is 10. 4 - uh 4 - 10. So, this gives us -6. So, this is correct here.

[00:16:10]Now, [snorts] write this as the power of three. So, now you know that nine can be written as three squared and 27 can be written as three cubed. So, we use the exponent. Now, base is same exponent rule 2 + 3. When we have base same then we add the powers. So, this is three power five.

[00:16:33]Right?

[00:16:34]Now, work out 0.025 square root. So, as you know this is non-calculator paper so, we can convert this 25 over it will be like four digits there. So, we will put four zeros with one and the square root. Now, we can write it down as 5 * 5 and down we can have 100 and 100. So, when we take out this pair of this then we will have 5 over 100 which can be written as 0.05.

[00:17:09]Now, number 14. A school records the number of students who are late on each of 12 days. So, here are the record of the students. Complete the stem and leaf diagram. So, for the stem and leaf diagram you make sure that you write this this is the this is called the stem this side and this side we have the leaf. So, the side on leaf should be in increasing order.

[00:17:37]So, we can start one by one. I will write it down here on the side then we will write in the arranged order here.

[00:17:43]So, 17 1 7. So, this is the key here 17 1 7. So, we will write down seven here then one. One is 01, right? So, 01 it goes here. 23. 23 will come in the third line and 14 in the second line. I'll put just the second digit. 18 also here.

[00:18:04]Eight is 08 meaning it will go in the first one. And then again eight it will also go in the first. And 12 is going here. And 10 we have here.

[00:18:18]Five is also 05 so, it goes in the first one. 22 goes in the third one and 19 goes in the second one. Now, you can see they are not in order so, we will place them in increasing order here. So, first one we have here one five eight and eight. Then next we have zero two four seven eight and nine.

[00:18:50]Third is two and three. So, that is it.

[00:18:54]For it. Now, number 15. The probability that J wins a game is 0.7. Find the probability does not win. So, does not win means we are going to subtract from one. So, 1 - 0.7 it is 1. 0.3. J plays 50 games. Work out the number of games he is expected to win. So, probability of winning here in the first in the beginning you are given here is 0.7.

[00:19:23]So, 0.7 and there are 15 this trials. So, 7 * 5 is 35 and we have here 1 0 that we will put and one decimal when we put then these zeros go goes there. And then we have final answer is 35. So, that's it for this video guys. Write in your comment section how did you find this paper? From the new series it is same or different you find it hard or difficult. Thank you so much and be blessed guys.
