No matter how busy...

[Tom]

HELLO EVERYBODY

Please tell me if MUCH is required before the words
busy and far in the given sentences.

1- No matter how far you are, I will find you. (or)
2- No matter how much far you are, I will find you.

1- No matter how busy you are, I need to talk to you.
2- No matter how much busy you are, I need to talk to you.

Hi Tom

The word "much" would be wrong in both sentences.

Also, I would add (e.g.) the word "away" to the first sentence:
1- No matter how far away you are, I will find you.

This sentence also seems a bit awkward to me. What's your intention? Is one person trying to hide or run away from from the other?

In your second sentence, you could use the word "much" this way:
No matter how much work you have, I need to talk to you.
