1) Apple’s market cap is ~ $499B. Therefore, Apple’s market cap is 498/104~500/100 = 5 times bigger than Facebook’s. Hence, Facebook’s share price would have to increase 5 times to match Apple’s. $38 x 5 = $190. $183 is closer to $190 than $200, thus $183 is the answer.

2) The top 10 ~ ($499+$385+$252+$230+$217+$211+$205+$201+$199+$196)B = $2.595T.
The remaining 19 ~ ($176+$175+$171+$170+$168+$144+$133+$131+$130+$118+$116+$108+$104+$100+$98+$98+$98+$94+$91+$91)B = $2.514T. Hence top 10 make up more than remaining 19.

1)B,sinceApple’s market cap is $498704M. So, Apple’s market cap is 498704/104000 =4.79 times bigger than Facebook’s. Hence, Facebook’s share price would have to increase 4.79 times to match Apple's share price. $38 x 4.79 = $182.02.So answer would be 183

2)A, The top 10 ~ $2.61T.
The remaining 19 ~ $2.53T. Hence top 10 make up more than remaining 19.

Hey avigutman - how would you take on the 2nd question ?

i could count literally like how this post has done but i was wondering, how would you do it

Eye-balling it , i thought the market cap for lower 19 companies were probably more than the top 10 companies.

Why ? hmmm because the average of the top 10 companies is certainly higher but the average of the bottom 19 companies

BUT, the number of terms (19 vs 10) should be able to compensate for the lower average

that was my thinking at-least

Thank you
