Question : The line chart given below shows the cost price and value of profit of 6 articles L, M, N, O, P, and Q.

Selling price = Cost price + Profit
A1 = The value of the average selling price of all articles.
A2 = The value of the average cost price of L, M, N, and O.
What is the value of (A1 + A2)?

Option 1: 1875

Option 2: 1425

Option 3: 1675

Option 4: 1025

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1675


Solution : Average cost price for L, M, N, O = A2 = $\frac{800 + 700 + 500 + 600}{4}=\frac{2600}{4}= 650$
Now, we have to calculate the average selling price.
Selling price = Cost price + Profit
⇒ Selling price of L, M, N, O, P, and Q = A1 = (800 + 300) + (700 + 250) + (500 + 400) + (600 + 500) + (400 + 350) + (900 + 450)
= 1100 + 950 + 900 + 1100 + 750 + 1350
= 6150
So, Average selling price = $\frac{6150}{6} = 1025$
$\therefore$ A1 + A2 = 1025 + 650 = 1675
Hence, the correct answer is 1675.

Question : A is a point outside of a circle with centre O. AP and AQ are two tangents of the circle. If AP = a2 + 14 and AQ = 239, then what is the value of a?

Option 1: 22

Option 2: 13

Option 3: 15

Option 4: 14

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 15


Solution :
Given,
Length of AP = a2 + 14
Length of AQ = 239
We know that tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal
⇒ AP = AQ
⇒ a2 + 14 = 239
⇒ a2 = 225
⇒ a = $\small\sqrt{225}$
⇒ a = 15
Hence, the correct answer is 15.
