The question, in short

Using I = V/R with V = 50 to the nearest 10 and R = 13 to the nearest integer, work out the upper bound of I.

Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and any diagrams.

Solution · 3 marks

  1. 1Upper bound of V = 50 + 5 = 55
  2. 2Lower bound of R = 13 − 0.5 = 12.5
  3. 3Upper bound of I = 55 ÷ 12.5 = 4.4
