INSTRUCTIONS TO CANDIDATES

Nrite your name, Centre number and candidate number in the spaces provided on the answer
paper/answer booklet.
There is no restriction on the number of questions which you may atteI?pt.

If a numerical answer cannot be given exactly, and the accuracy required is not specified in the
"question, then in the case, of an angle it should be given to the nearest degree, and in other cases it
should be given correct to~ significant figures. -
