Can someone please solve these questions with working (thanking you in advance) :)
1. The average of seven numbers is 12, and the average of three of them is –11. What is the sum of the other four numbers?
A 33 B 63 C 84 D 117

2. The price of a TV in 1970 increased by 300% in 1980. The price of the 1980 model TV increased by 200% in 1990. By what percentage did the price increase from 1970 to 1990?
A 500% B 600% C 900% D 1100%

A 500% B 600% C 900% D 1100%
Sum of 7 numbers = 7*12=84
Sum of three of them=3*-11=-33
Sum of other four = 84-(-33)=117

2.
If price increases by 300%, the price has become four times the previous price. If then it increases by 200%, price has become three times previous. So overall, price is 4*3=12 times of original. That means price increased by 1100%

This does not seem A level to me BTW

So today I bought a photostat version or this but found out that there was no answer behind! Does anyone know where can I find the solutions for this book? p/s: this is a practice book, it's not a test book :(:(:(:(

WEIGHT OF B??? can someone explain by resolving forces on B on diagram ????????
Let's get weight of B shall we?
First off, extend the arrow of the 18 N force on B, you will see that its angle between it and the horizontal is also 30!
We know B is in equilibrium also, so take axis directly on the smooth plane. Notice no friction here it's smooth.
R(->) resolve on x axis 18cos30= Wsin30
So W= 18root3= 31.18 N

Note I can draw it for you and attach the picture here but how do I do that?

in part 1 i used v=u+at but the ans turned out to be wrong why??
i used vP= 1.3 +(0.1*20)=3.3m/s
ince vP=vQ so 3.3= vQ
thus, at t=20s 3.3= uQ+(0.016*20) uQ= 3.3-0.32=2.98m/s
Whereas, in markscheme the formula s=ut+1/2at^2 is used which gives the ans 0.1m/s
Can someone explain why cant we use v=u+at here???

u can attach a picture by clicking the option 'upload a file and open the pic from your library

Are you sure the ms says 0.1 m/s? Which paper is this?
