Missed Approach Climb Gradient question?

Hi all,

I will shortly start to fly a twin turbine performance class B aircraft and I have a couple of questions that you most wise of professionals may be able to answer!!

During an IFR approach with two different DA(H), one for a 5.0% and another for a 2.5% missed approach climb gradient, do I have to use the 2.5% on the assumption that I may loose an engine? It will not do 5.0% single engine.

Is there any document that I can find the stipulation that you must use the single engine climb gradient for selecting IFR approaches?

What happens if there are only minimums for a 5% climb gradient? Do i have to calculate an increased DA(H) that will allow a 2.5% climb gradient?

Any help is much appreciated.
