A polygon has $n$ vertices, where $n \geq 3$. It has the following properties:
  • Every vertex of the polygon lies on the circumference of a circle $C$.
  • The centre of the circle $C$ is inside the polygon.
  • The radii from the centre of the circle $C$ to the vertices of the polygon cut the polygon into $n$ triangles of equal area.

For which values of $n$ are these properties sufficient to deduce that the polygon is regular?
A no values of $n$
B $n = 3$ only
C $n = 3$ and $n = 4$ only
D $\quad n = 3$ and $n \geq 5$ only
E all values of $n$

In this question, $k$ is a positive integer. Consider the following theorem: If $2 ^ { k } + 1$ is a prime, then $k$ is a power of $2 . \quad ( * )$ Which of the following statements, taken individually, is/are equivalent to (*)? I If $k$ is a power of 2 , then $2 ^ { k } + 1$ is prime. II $\quad 2 ^ { k } + 1$ is not prime only if $k$ is not a power of 2 .

Let $\mathbf { p } , \mathbf { q }$ and $\mathbf { r }$ be propositions with their negations denoted by $\mathbf { p } ^ { \prime } , \mathbf { q } ^ { \prime } , \mathbf { r } ^ { \prime }$ respectively. Which of the following is equivalent to the proposition
$$p \vee q \Rightarrow q \wedge r$$
?
A) $\mathrm { p } ^ { \prime } \wedge \mathrm { q } ^ { \prime } \Rightarrow \mathrm { q } ^ { \prime } \vee \mathrm { r } ^ { \prime }$
B) $\mathrm { p } ^ { \prime } \wedge \mathrm { q } ^ { \prime } \Rightarrow \mathrm { q } ^ { \prime } \wedge \mathrm { r } ^ { \prime }$
C) $p ^ { \prime } \vee q ^ { \prime } \Rightarrow q ^ { \prime } \wedge r ^ { \prime }$
D) $q ^ { \prime } \wedge r ^ { \prime } \Rightarrow p ^ { \prime } \vee q ^ { \prime }$
E) $q ^ { \prime } \vee r ^ { \prime } \Rightarrow p ^ { \prime } \wedge q ^ { \prime }$
