The question, in short

Given A inversely proportional to C², with A = 40 when C = 1.5, find the value of C when A = 1000.

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

Solution · 3 marks

  1. 1A = k/C², so 40 = k ÷ 1.5²
  2. 2k = 40 × 2.25 = 90
  3. 31000 = 90/C², so C² = 90 ÷ 1000 = 0.09
  4. 4C = √0.09 = 0.3
