(Solved)
Water is drawn to fill an empty tank whose capacity is 1200litres using two types of buckets. It requires at least 30 type A buckets and 50 type B buckets to fill the tank. Also, two type A buckets are required to fill at most three type B buckets. Each type B bucket has a capacity of not more than 20litres.
a) Taking x litres and y litres to represent the capacity of each type A bucket and each type B bucket respectively; write down 3 inequalities to represent the above information.
b) Use graphical method to determine the capacity of each type of bucket.

The positions of two towns on the earth’s surface are A (400S, 450W) and B (400S, 1350E)
a) Calculate;
The difference in distance between two towns A and B along the parallel of latitude and along the great circle. (in Nm).
b) Two planes X and Y left town A at 8.00am flying at 758 knots each towards town B. If plane X flys along the parallel of latitude and plane Y along the great circle; then determine the position of one of the planes when the other lands at town B.
