1. E

Draw the circle and triangle and find all of the possible points (pass all 3 sides of the circle, pass 2 sides, pass 1 side, pass the angle, ect)

2. C

Try each possibility:
12 price * 95 seats
14 price* 90seats
16 price * 85 seats = 1360

Hope it helps

agree with Victory!! Here is just some add on

1. Draw a triangle, and randomly draw circles (which cross the triangle). Answer is E

2. Assume raise price X times

(10+2X) * (100-5X) = 1360
solve the equation and we got X = 3 or 12
which means we raise price 3 times or 12 times, in turn, the answer will be 10 + 2*3 = 16

FYI: 10 + 2X means the new ticket price, when we raise ticket price X times, 100 - 5X means the amount of people in balcony when we raise ticket price X times

Cheers!!
