1. For ALL APPLICANTS.
For each part of the question on pages $3 - 7$ you will be given four possible answers, just one of which is correct. Indicate for each part $\mathbf { A } - \mathbf { J }$ which answer (a), (b), (c), or (d) you think is correct with a tick $( \checkmark )$ in the corresponding column in the table below. Please show any rough working in the space provided between the parts.
A. A sketch of the graph $y = x ^ { 3 } - x ^ { 2 } - x + 1$ appears on which of the following axes?
[Figure](a) [Figure](b) [Figure](c) [Figure](d)B. A rectangle has perimeter $P$ and area $A$. The values $P$ and $A$ must satisfy
(a) $P ^ { 3 } > A$,
(b) $A ^ { 2 } > 2 P + 1$,
(c) $P ^ { 2 } \geqslant 16 \mathrm {~A}$,
(d) $P A \geqslant A + P$.
C. The sequence $x _ { n }$ is given by the formula
$$x _ { n } = n ^ { 3 } - 9 n ^ { 2 } + 631 .$$

(d) $\frac { 5 } { 8 }$.
E. The circle in the diagram has centre $C$. Three angles $\alpha , \beta , \gamma$ are also indicated.
[Figure]The angles $\alpha , \beta , \gamma$ are related by the equation:
(a) $\cos \alpha = \sin ( \beta + \gamma )$;
(b) $\sin \beta = \sin \alpha \sin \gamma$;
