Hey Guys, Jmb is absolutely right here. A line can't be equidistant from two points. It isn't actually possible. Some people are solving this question: "What is the slope of the line that goes through the origin and the midpoint of line segment PQ, where P = (1,11) and Q = (7,7). But that is n...

Huh. Interesting. A) must be correct because there [in C] is the possibility that the L1 and L2 are the same line and thus would not be parallel - and parallel lines must be on the same plane. I'm not sure if I'll take 'the L1 and L2 being part of same line' as not being parallel. They'll satisfy t...

Lets see...
A = Associate professors
B = Assistant professors
Total no of pencils and charts = (2p+c)A + (p+2c)B
10p + 11c = p(2A+B) +c(A+2b)
Compare the coefficients of P and C... and you'll get two equations:
2A + B = 10 and A + 2B = 11
Solve them to get the answer..

The problem statement could get a little tricky if analyzed carefully. It doesn't asks about selling price or the cost price. Do we assume that any reference to price means 'selling price' ?
