Question Paper and Worked Solutions


Please note, this document represents my own solutions to the questions, is entirely unofficial and is not related to
the mark scheme (which I have not seen). Therefore, while it should help you see how to do the questions, it wont
include every valid method or give you a break down of the mark allocation. If you spot any errors, or think you have
found a better solution, please email me so I can update it.
