(a) The polynomial \(f(x) = x^{3} + px^{2} - 10x + q\) is exactly divisible by \(x^{2} + x - 6\). Find the :

(i) values of p and q ; (ii) third factor.

(b) The volume of a cube is increasing at the rate of \(2\frac{1}{2} cm^{3} s^{-1}\). Find the rate of change of the side of the base when its length is 2cm.
