These Questions were four marks each

Flight A to C via B with alternate Y. In event of engine failure aircraft to return to Y via B. Total fuel on board is 1900 lbs. Route details are as below:

43) Find distance and time to CP in the event of an engine failure?
44) Find distance and time to PNR in the event of an engine failure?
Question 45-56 on flight planning. All the flight planning questions were three marks each!!
Route details were given, the flight planning involved two climbs. First one from 1000 to 16000 feet. Second one from 16000’ to 19000’. In both cases the air NM and time in minutes for climb could be found and that had to be converted to TAS for climb. Other than this the Flight planning was pretty straight forward. Total 11 questions with first one as catch question.
MTOW: 124,000 lbs RTOW: 121,500 lbs. Start up and Taxi fuel (from chart): 750 lbs.
45) What is the TOW? 121,500 – 750 = 120,750 lbs (many students used 124000 – 750 to calculate the answer).
Question 46 to 51 were based on the actual flight plan itself
