Ground School Exam Questions & Question Banks

Hi, could I have peoples opinions on the following question:

An aircraft is descending from FL410 to FL270 at the cruise Mach number. It then continues to descend from FL270 to FL100 at the IAS reached at FL270. Assume that the engines are idling, the configuration is clean and ignore any compressibility effect.
How does the angle of descent change in those two height bands respectivily:

a) increases, decreases
b) increases, remains constant
c) decreases, increases
d) remains constant, decreases

Any ideas? Thanks alot
