Resistor values in an op amp circuit

The question is attached. It also say that it saturates at +-13v. Don't know how to start on this question.
(b) use potential divider rule V = [68/(68+22)]*5
(c) as thermistor gets hot, its resistance decreases, thus V at A increases until it get higher than 4V, which is V at B, output become -ve, diode at output will not allow it to pass through, therefore output will be 0 V

Ah yes thanks, I managed to work out part D too I'd anyone was wondering. If you look closely you can see it's set up as a voltage divider and just apply the rules.
