1. (a) Suppose we have two independent lives aged 40 and 50 respectively. Using the actuarial tables provided, calculate the following assuming that Aiwa = 0.13, ./16,r0 = 0.35 and i =5% p.a. Clearly state any approximations you make. (i) 204740:50 (i) A(4102:50) :20
    6 marks Consider two independent lives initially aged x and y respectively. Explain the meaning of and nqs.y2 , and prove that
    nqtY nqx2 // = nq•
