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 questions. Answers must be written within the answer boxes provided. Working may be
continued below the lines, if necessary.
