You must have an answer in the same book in which you found the questions, so ask about whatever it is in the answer that you are not clear about and then I will explain.Everything needed to be able to answer this question is explained in my free lectures. The lectures are a complete free course for Paper FA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
(Obviously it is impossible for a question to be asked like this in the real exam.)
