Why does the answer use g = 10 here but g = 9.8 in the next question?

Doing projectile motion. Same textbook, two different g values within 3 pages. Which do I use in JAMB?

Be kind. No exam malpractice.

    In JAMB, use g = 10 m/s² unless the question explicitly gives you 9.8. They almost always intend 10 to keep the arithmetic clean.

      That's the clarity I needed, thanks!
