Mdm Siti is planning a 6-day trip from Singapore to London. Her flight takes 7 h 40 min from Singapore to Doha, has a 2-hour layover, and takes 6 h 10 min from Doha to London. It departs at 11:15 PM Singapore time. London is 7 hours behind Singapore. The exchange rate is £1 = SGD$1.65.

  1. What is her arrival time in London, in local London time?[1]
  2. Mdm Siti plans to bring SGD$700 for meals, transport, sightseeing and emergencies. She plans to spend £25 per day on food, £10 per day on transport, £15 per day on sightseeing, and 10% of the total amount for emergencies. By showing your working clearly, determine whether SGD$700 is sufficient for her meals, transport and sightseeing.[3]
  3. Mdm Siti plans to spend four days sightseeing in London and visit only 2 attractions per day. She is considering three options.[5]
    OptionTypeDescription
    \(A\)Fixed daily pass\(4\)-day London Sightseeing Pass covering unlimited entries for \(\text{£}\hspace{0.5em}90\), with \(5\%\) discount if she stays more than \(5\) days in London.
    \(B\)Pay-as-you-goEach attraction costs \(\text{£}\hspace{0.5em}12.50\).
    \(C\)Partial Pass + Pay-as-you-goA \(2\)-day pass for \(\text{£}\hspace{0.5em}35\) covering unlimited entries for \(2\) days, and \(\text{£}\hspace{0.5em}6\) per attraction for the other \(2\) days.
    Assuming the total amount set aside for sightseeing remains the same for the four days, show your calculations and explain which option would be more cost-effective for Mdm Siti, considering her sightseeing plans and budget.
