    There is no point in typing out a full question like this and expecting me to produce a full answer.

    Unless it was set you as a test question, you must have an answer in the same book in which you found the question, and so you should ask about whatever it is in the answer that you are not clear about.

    If it was set you as a test question, then do not expect us to do your homework for you 🙂

    This question could not possibly be asked in Paper F3. Our free lectures are a complete course for Paper F3 and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
