Rhumbline track

Q: From N65 00 E010 00 to N65 E052 00 on a rhumb line, what is the distance?
a 1065 nm
b 2283 nm
c 1700 nm
d 2520 nm

I got it to 2520 just by taking E52-E10.. but im not sure if this is right can anyone confirm?

Q: An aircraft flies from N32 00 E020 00 for 1200nm on a rhumb line track of 090, what is the longitude of the new position?
a E013 58
b E043 35
c E050 00
d E040 59

This one i calculated again just taking 1200/60 = 20 and adding it to E020 and getting E040.....

But it doesnt seam to be correct if i look at the possible answers.. can anyone help me here? Thanks in advance...

(Im abit unsure when the question says rhumbline track if i have to deal with convergency or not....)
