(a) Given that \(\sin x = \frac{5}{13}, 0° \leq x \leq 90°\), find \(\frac{\cos x - 2 \sin x }{2\tan x}\).
(b) 
The diagram represents the vertical cross-section of a mountain with height NQ standing on a horizontal ground PRN. If the angles of elevation of the top of the mountain from P and R are 30° and 70° respectively and PR = 500m, calculate, correct to 3 significant figures :
(i) |QP| ; (ii) the height of the mountain.
