P is inversely pripotional to q^2
P=k/Q^2 , where k is the constant
160=k/20^2
160=k/400
k=160*400
k=64000

when P=Q,the equation is,
P=k/P^2
P=64000/P^2
P*P^2=64000
P^3=64000
taking the cube root of 64000,
P=40

Sequence is nothing that people should worry about...you need to have a good understanding of Algebra and sometimes learning common patterns are also helpful as well as learning about square and cube numbers will help a lot too..! That's pretty much about Sequences ! The more you do sequence numbers the familiar you are with the type of questions....My tip is do sequence question from around 1993 to the latest available! and also google for more sequence questions! Important thing here is understanding how the question is and how to answer it rather than getting from marking schemes! :)
