Here are the calculations for the questions related to the BMI chart:

2.3.2 a) Determine the BMI category of the fan.

Recall the fan's BMI calculated in 2.3.3 a).
The fan's BMI is approximately 35.09.
Refer to the BMI chart to identify the category for this BMI.
The chart indicates the following categories:
- Underweight: BMI $< 18.5$
- Normal: BMI $18.5 - 25$
- Overweight: BMI $25 - 30$
- Obese: BMI 30 & Above
Classify the fan's BMI.
Since 35.09 is greater than 30, the fan's BMI falls into the Obese category.
The fan's BMI category is $\boxed{\text{Obese}}$ .

2.3.2 b) Read the fan's BMI from the chart.
Locate the fan's height on the x-axis of the chart.
The fan's height is $1.73 \text{ m}$ , which corresponds to $5'8''$ on the chart.
Locate the fan's weight on the y-axis of the chart.
The fan's weight is $105 \text{ kg}$ .
Find the intersection point of the height and weight on the chart.
Draw a vertical line up from $1.73 \text{ m}$ ( $5'8''$ ) on the x-axis and a horizontal line across from $105 \text{ kg}$ on the right y-axis.
Read the BMI value from the diagonal line closest to the intersection point.
The intersection point lies directly on the diagonal line labeled '35'.
The fan's BMI read from the chart is $\boxed{\text{35}}$ .
