(a) P varies directly as Q and inversely as the square of R. If P = 1 when Q = 8 and R = 2, find the value of Q when P = 3 and R = 5. (b) An aeroplane flies from town A(20^\circN, 60^\circE) to town B(20^\circN, 20^\circE). (i) if the journey takes 6 hours, calculate, correct to 3 significant figures, the average speed of the aeroplane. (ii) if it then flies due North from town B to town C, 420 km away, calculate correct to the nearest degree, the latitude of town C. [Take radius of the earth = 6400 km and \(\pi\) = 3.142].
