Ground studies question

I have 2 exams left to take, these being both meterology and general navigation, i seem to be getting through the questions ok but i seem to stumble on a few, and they seem to be of the same type, so if anyone could help me with either one or both of the questions i'd be grateful.

Q) Given: FL120, OAT is ISA standard, CAS is 200 kt, Track is 222°(M), Heading is 215°(M), Variation is 15°W. Time to fly 105 NM is 21 MIN. What is the W/V?
A) 050/70kt

Q) Given: Compass Heading 090°, Deviation 2°W, Variation 12°E, TAS 160 kt. Whilst maintaining a radial 070° from a VOR station, the aircraft flies a ground distance of 14 NM in 6 MIN. What is the W/V °(T)?
A) 160/50kt

I can get close to the answers but no-where near close enough to hazard an educated guessnot that i want to be able to guess that answer, it would be nice to know how to work it out
