Well, i am starting to hate physics as i go deep into it, or at-least since i started IGCSE Physics! -_-
Here is the answer:

This question can only be solved by taking an example:-
So take a distance of 1200 km
this takes 2 hours outwards, and 3 hours homewards.
Total time = 5 hours
total distance = 2400 km (Outwards and back! )
speed = 2400 / 5 = 480 km/hr .

You can take multiple examples, and still get the same answer.
Well i guess you tried adding 600 with 400 and dividing by 2 to find the average ! :D

I wasn't asking this, just telling which question this paper was from :p Thanks anyway :)

According to the equation n*lamda=d*sin theta
n is 3.33 so 3 images from X to Y, 3 from Y to Z and 1 zero order at Y so total 7.

Well, how did you calculate the value of theta, I mean i didn't how to find n,
I was trying on d sin theta = n lamda,
I found out d but couldn't figure out the value of theta:/

How is the answer D?

5 A quantity x is to be determined from the equation
x = P – Q.
P is measured as 1.27 ± 0.02 m.
Q is measured as 0.83 ± 0.01 m.
What is the percentage uncertainty in x to one significant figure?
A 0.4 % B 2 % C 3 % D 7 %

Q is measured as 0.83 ± 0.01 m.
What is the percentage uncertainty in x to one significant figure?
A 0.4 % B 2 % C 3 % D 7 %
P-Q=1.27-0.83=0.44
but unceritnities always add up
sp 0.02+0.02=0.03
(0.03/0.44)*100
is the answer D
