MARK SCHEME for the October/November 2013 series

4024 MATHEMATICS (SYLLABUS D)

4024/12 Paper 1, maximum raw mark 80

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 October/November 2013 series for most IGCSE,
GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level components and some Ordinary Level
components.

angles are equal; and a conclusion (or an alternate angles
introductory statement), that the triangles are
similar. e.g.
ABˆ D = BDˆ C (alternate angles)
ADˆ B = BCˆ D (given)
Since two angles are equal, triangles ABD and
BDC are similar.
