Please do not expect to be provided with a full answer to a full question. You must have an answer in the same book in which you found the question, so ask about whatever it is in the answer that you are not clear about and then I will explain. I do assume that you watched my free lectures on ABC before attempting this question? The lectures are a complete free course for Paper PM and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
