Full marks are not necessarily awarded for a correct answer with no working. Answers must be supported
by working and/or explanations. Where an answer is incorrect, some marks may be given for a correct
method, provided this is shown by written working. You are therefore advised to show all working.

Section a

Answer all the questions in the spaces provided. Working may be continued below the lines, if necessary.
