| Answer | Mark | Mark scheme |
|---|---|---|
| No from correct figures | P1 | for process to find year of Aisha’s 18th birthday, eg \(1993 + 18\ (= 2011)\) or for process to find Aisha’s age in 2030, eg \(2030 - 1993\ (= 37)\) |
| P1 | for process to find years of future elections, eg writes down 2011, 2016, 2021, 2026, 2031 or for \(2011 + 4 \times 5\ (= 2031)\) oe or for process to find Aisha’s age in years when there is an election, eg writes down 18 in 2011, 23 in 2016, 28 in 2021, 33 in 2026 and 38 in 2031 or for process to find years between 18th birthday and election eg \(2030 - 2011\ (= 19)\) | |
| A1 | for No with correct figures eg 2011 and 2026 or 2031 or for No with eg 37 and 33 or 38 or for No with 2011 (2016, 2021, ...) and explanation that election years end in 1 or 6, not 0 or for No with 2011 and explanation that 19 is not divisible by 5 |
