Challenge questions - please give them a go!

Been given these questions and I have no idea where to even start If anyone can help even a little bit!

B) The surveyor measured a sound pressure level of ‘A’ x 10^-2 Pa at peak traffic times. If the threshold of hearing pressure = 2 x 10^-5 Pa. Calculate the sound pressure level for the traffic noise.

A=1.98

So I did 1.98x10^-2=0.0198 and then 2x10^-5=0.00002
But I don't know what to do after that, so confused!



The next question is
C) A work surface in the kitchen is to have a service illuminance of ‘A’ lux at its centre estimate the required luminous intensity of a lamp positioned ‘B’ m above the centre of the work surface.

A=410 B=2.6

And I have no idea what to do with that either.
Please help me! Thankyou!

Are you sure that is all the information that you have? The second doesn't even seem to be a complete question.
