It's important to note that this is in no way the actual mark scheme and there is no way to validate these answers. This answers were put together by a small group of students and could be inaccurate. Please use caution when look at these.

You cannot possibly know that - the official markscheme isn't even online for teachers yet

Question 8 doesn't look right. It gives part b) k=2/3 or 20, but as the series is converging, k would have to be less than 1, therefore is 2/3 not 20

You misunderstand.
k is not the "Common Ratio"
When k=20 is put into the formula for r you get something between -1 and 1
For k=2/3, mod r was greater than 1
