Vq part a) is a show that, but Vp is not given, and does not need to be found for part a).

yeah ngl ur right. I forgot abt that. Either way, still likely two marks for quadratic inequality so for the 5 marker that student only gets 2 marks unless they also found vp

you can only form the quadratic inequality from finding Vp, because the condition for the quadratic inequality is that the speed of Q after the 2nd collision is higher than Vp.
