Give clear handwritten answer answer of both subparts of 3rd question!

Question 3(b)(i)
A processor processes tasks with a clock cycle of 15ns. Show the number
of pipeline stages that are required to achieve a speedup ratio of
6000/1050 for 100 tasks.
Question 3(b)(ii)
By using a pipeline with 5 stages, a program with 20 instructions is
executed. There is 20 percent chance of encountering a branch
instruction. The probability that a branch is taken is 40 percent. Each stage
of the pipeline requires one clock cycle. Calculate the speedup of the
pipeline.
