Here are the solutions to the questions from Section A.

1.
Given: Marked price (inclusive of VAT and NHIL) = GHC 1,517.50.
VAT rate = 1212%=0.12512\frac{1}{2}\% = 0.125.
NHIL rate = 212%=0.0252\frac{1}{2}\% = 0.025.

Let PP be the cost of the television set (VAT and NHIL exclusive).
The total percentage charged on PP is 100%+12.5%+2.5%=115%100\% + 12.5\% + 2.5\% = 115\%.
So, 1.15P=1517.501.15P = 1517.50.

a) The cost of the television set (VAT and NHIL exclusive).

  1. Calculate PP.

    P=1517.501.15P = \frac{1517.50}{1.15} P=1319.5652...P = 1319.5652...

    Rounding to two decimal places for currency:

    P=GHC 1319.57P = \boxed{\text{GHC } 1319.57}

    b) The NHIL charged.

  2. Calculate NHIL as 2.5%2.5\% of PP.

    NHIL=0.025×1319.5652...\text{NHIL} = 0.025 \times 1319.5652... NHIL=32.9891...\text{NHIL} = 32.9891...

    Rounding to two decimal places:

    NHIL=GHC 32.99\text{NHIL} = \boxed{\text{GHC } 32.99}

    c) The VAT charged.

  3. Calculate VAT as 12.5%12.5\% of PP.

    VAT=0.125×1319.5652...\text{VAT} = 0.125 \times 1319.5652... VAT=164.9456...\text{VAT} = 164.9456...

    Rounding to two decimal places:

    VAT=GHC 164.95\text{VAT} = \boxed{\text{GHC } 164.95}

    2.
    The electrical resistance RR varies directly as its length LL and inversely as the square of its radius rr. This can be written as R=kLr2R = k \frac{L}{r^2}, where kk is the constant of proportionality.
    Given: L1=500L_1 = 500 m, r1=0.2r_1 = 0.2 cm, R1=30R_1 = 30 ohms.
    Convert r1r_1 to meters: 0.2 cm=0.002 m0.2 \text{ cm} = 0.002 \text{ m}.

    i) Find the rule connecting R,LR, L and rr.

  4. Substitute the given values into the formula to find kk.

    30=k500(0.002)230 = k \frac{500}{(0.002)^2} 30=k5000.00000430 = k \frac{500}{0.000004} 30=k×125,000,00030 = k \times 125,000,000
  5. Solve for kk.

    k=30125,000,000=312,500,000=0.00000024k = \frac{30}{125,000,000} = \frac{3}{12,500,000} = 0.00000024

    The rule connecting R,LR, L and rr is R=0.00000024Lr2\boxed{R = 0.00000024 \frac{L}{r^2}}.

    ii) Evaluate the resistance of the same type of copper wire 750m long and radius 0.25cm.
    Given: L2=750L_2 = 750 m, r2=0.25r_2 = 0.25 cm.
    Convert r2r_2 to meters: 0.25 cm=0.0025 m0.25 \text{ cm} = 0.0025 \text{ m}.

  6. Substitute kk, L2L_2, and r2r_2 into the rule.

    R2=0.00000024750(0.0025)2R_2 = 0.00000024 \frac{750}{(0.0025)^2} R2=0.000000247500.00000625R_2 = 0.00000024 \frac{750}{0.00000625}
  7. Calculate the resistance R2R_2.

    R2=0.00000024×120,000,000R_2 = 0.00000024 \times 120,000,000 R2=28.8 ohmsR_2 = \boxed{28.8 \text{ ohms}}
