Observation

Question 13(a) was a good question on A.P and those who attempted it did well.,
In Question 13(b), some candidates were able to express the first equation correctly
i.e. ar + ar2 = 6(ar3) but could not go further to solve for r. Notwithstanding, the question was popular among the candidates and a good number of them performed well.
