Question : In $\triangle$ABC the height CD intersects AB at D. The mid-points of AB and BC are P and Q, respectively. If AD = 8 cm and CD = 6 cm then the length of PQ is:

Option 1: 3 cm

Option 2: 7 cm

Option 3: 9 cm

Option 4: 5 cm

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 5 cm


Solution :
Given:
AD = 8 cm and CD = 6 cm
$\angle$CDA = 90°
So, from Pythagoras theorem we get,
AC2 = AD+ CD2
⇒ AC = $\sqrt{8^2+6^2}$
∴ AC = 10 cm

Question : The average of the marks of 25 students in a class, in an examination was calculated to be 19. Later, the teacher realized that the marks of two students were taken as 18 and 19, respectively, instead of 14 and 15. Find the new actual average marks of the class.

Option 1: 17.43

Option 2: 16.56

Option 3: 18.68

Option 4: 17.65

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 18.68


Solution : Total marks of 25 students with wrong number = 25 × 19 = 475
After correction = 475 – 18 – 19 + 14 +15 = 467
Average = $\frac{\text{Sum of elements}}{\text{Number of elemcents}}$
= $\frac{467}{25}$
= 18.68
Hence, the correct answer is 18.68.
