Ψ is a new mathematical rule which works like this:To work out 2 Ψ 4 add 1 to 2, then multiply by 4, like this: 2 + 1 = 3 3 × 4 = 12So 2 Ψ 4 = 12Similarly 4 Ψ 7 = 35 because 4 + 1 = 5, then 5 x 7 = 35(a) Work out 3 Ψ 8 (b) Work out 5 Ψ 9 (c) If 2 Ψ y = 18, what number does y stand for ?

A perfect number is one in which all its factors (except the number itself) total to the number. For example 6 = 1 + 2 + 3 is a perfect number since the proper factors of 6 are 1, 2 and 3 and they total to 6. 12 is not a perfect number as its proper factors are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and they total 16.(a) Find one other perfect number between 20 and 30. (b) State whether a prime number can ever be perfect. 28. In a barn there are only horses and people.
