Question : Two chords AB and CD of a circle with centre O intersect at P. If $\angle$ APC = 40º, then the value of $\angle$AOC + $\angle$BOD is:

Option 1: 50º

Option 2: 60º

Solution :
The angle subtended by a chord at the centre is twice the angle subtended on the circumference. 
$\angle$BOD = 2$\angle$BCD
⇒ $\angle$AOC = 2$\angle$ABC
⇒ $\angle$AOC + $\angle$BOD = 2($\angle$BCD + $\angle$ABC)
The sum of the interior angle is equal to the exterior angle.

Question : If the cost price is 72% of the selling price, then what is the percentage of profit?
(Correct to 2 decimal places)

Option 1: 38.89%

Option 2: 35.75%

Option 3: 32.25%

Option 4: 28.75%

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 38.89%


Solution : Let the selling price (SP) be $x$
Cost price = $\frac{72}{100}\times x$
Now, the profit percentage
= $\frac{\text{Selling price – Cost price}}{\text{Cost price}}×100$
= $\frac{x-\frac{72}{100}x}{\frac{72}{100}x}\times 100$
= $\frac{\frac{28}{100}x}{\frac{72}{100}x}\times 100$
= $38.89\%$
Hence, the correct answer is 38.89%
