Answers to #83, #84, #85, #86, #87, #88, #89, and #90:-

All correct, JaneFairfax!!! Thats a clean sweep! It reminds me of Steffi beating Natalia Zvereva 6-0, 6-0 in a French Open finals ( I think it was 1988)!

In Question #90, I made a mistake, by oversight. I started with P, Q, and R and having used A, B, and C in a number of problems earlier, I did the same.
Thanks, mathsyperson, for coming to my rescue!!!
