Answer 1.
West East 0 1
J 7 4 3 Q 6
Here we should start with a low card towards Q 6 and play low on the
second and third rounds to eventually take a trick. We are hoping for this -

A 9 2 So we play small to the Queen which is taken by the
J 7 4 3 Q 6 King. Now, small from both hand taken by their 9.
K 10 8 5 But when we lead the suit again the Ace wins by force
and now our Jack is a trick. Hard work it would, of
course be ideal if the opponents led the suit for us.
