The answer is in the question.

But it won't always be, you'll have to be capable of working it out on your own.

Edit;
I wish I'd noticed the O.P was asking questions 2 1/2 years ago, I thought it was his first day of 5 weeks studying.

I'll stick my kneck out........you could say 32 cos its on a 32 but its a ring so you could say 27 or was it 26......but if you search ring final circuit you'll be an expert by the morning

 

[GLENNSPARK]

in all fairness there is the overloading on a small portion of a ring final...

the reason why we stagger outlets as evenly as we can between both legs....

And in a commercial situation, where they stack as many workstations into an area as humanly possible, with god knows what pluged into to the 25 way plug boards tangled up under the desks, the 100m2 rule may not be quite relevant.

As much as you can get away with without tripping the breaker.
Next.
