Question:
Ramesh and Reena are playing with triangle ABc. Ramesh draws a line that bisects ∠BAC; this line cuts BC at d. Reena then extends AD to a point P. In response, Ramesh joins B and P. Reena then announces that BD bisects ∠PBA, what a surprise! Together, Ramesh and Reena find that BD= 6 cm, AC= 9 cm, DC= 5 cm, BP= 8 cm, and DP = 5 cm. How long is AP?

- Let the volume of a metallic hollow sphere be constant. If the inner radius increases at the rate of 2 cm/s, find the rate of increase of the outer radius when the radii are 2 cm and 4 cm respectively.
- Surface area of a balloon (spherical), when air is blown into it, increases at a rate of 5 mm²/s. When the radius of the balloon is 8 mm, find the rate at which the volume of the balloon is increasing.
- A cylindrical water container has developed a leak at the bottom. The water is leaking at the rate of 5 cm$^3$/s from the leak. If the radius of the container is 15 cm, find the rate at which the height of water is decreasing inside the container, when the height of water is 2 meters.

Questions Asked in XAT exam
- In an 8-week course, the teacher conducts a test every week, and the scores are in the range of 1–4. There are only two students enrolled in the course, \(R\) and \(S\). The following conditions are given:
- \(R\) and \(S\) scored the same on the first test.
- From the second test onwards, \(R\) consistently scored the same (a non-zero score).
- The total of the first three test scores of \(R\) equals the total of the first two test scores of \(S\).
- From the fifth test onwards, \(S\) scored the same as \(R\).
- The scores of \(S\) from the first two tests and all the remaining tests follow a geometric progression.

- There’s a community 30 km outside of the main city. Mr. S started a grocery business in the community after winning the bid by offering way above the rent initially drafted by the community council. The community council, led by Mr. D, agreed to the offer with a performance review every three years. Mr. S also agreed to provide an additional 15% of his grocery sales to the council, banking on the prospect of selling in higher volumes. After setting up his business, Mr. S noticed that SUV owners in the community usually bought goods in bulk from the city once a week and used his store primarily for daily necessities and occasional big purchases like mixer grinders.

- Four reviewers (R1, R2, R3, R4) are in charge of reviewing products from companies A, B, C, and D. Each reviewer provides a rating between 1 and 5 for the products. Due to a technical glitch, the original ratings were deleted, and only the averages calculated for each product (A, B, C, D) and each reviewer (R1, R2, R3, R4) were saved. The data available is as follows:Tasks:
A B C D Average 3 4 4 ? 4 3 ? 5 ? 4 ? 3 3 ? 4 ? ? ? ? 4.25 4 4 4 4.25
1. What are the missing values in the table?
2. How were the missing values calculated?
3.Verify the correctness of the given averages for both rows and columns. - A bought a phone from a store and paid \(\frac{1}{6}\) of the price using UPI, \(\frac{1}{3}\) of the price in cash, and the remaining balance a year later. He also paid 10% interest on the remaining balance after one year. What was the original price of the phone?
