    I am sorry, but we cannot simply provide answers to a long list of test questions. You should insist of getting explanations from wherever you got the questions. If you then do not understand the workings then by all means ask – say which bit you do not understand and I will try and help.

    Everything you need to answer these questions is explained in full in our free lectures (they are a complete course for Paper F9 and cover everything you need to pass the exam well).
