Non of the answer choices are possible.
A is wrong because:
0,2*8 =1,6
0,2*0,2 = 0,04
As you said only 8 and 0 fit to the equation.

In my understanding as a non-native speaker I would say that it clearly all happened in sequence:
1) bumped against the hill
2) kicked up a cloud of dust
Even if the third part (and slightly changed direction) was not there, you can still answer with E.

I do not understand your last step:
If Model #6 and Model #4 are selected, but Model #5 is not, why is this 4C3?
Is it because there are 4 models left and three of them have to be choosen in order to have a total of 5 models selected?

Answer B (Statement 2 alone is sufficient): 3x + 5y < 40 We also know that: x+y = 10 Let`s pick numbers 3*5 + 5*5 =40 not in line with statement 2 3*5,1 + 5*4,9 = 39,8 --> in line with statement 2 Therefore x>y --> Statement 2 alone is sufficient x must be greater than 5 and y must be less than 5.

I understand it until the point r^30=8, but I cannot follow your last two steps.
Can anyone please explain that to me?

I think there is an easier way to do this:
Inserting the first three numbers for k we get:
k=1 --> 1/2
k=2 --> -1/4
k=3 --> 1/8
.
.
.
And so the numbers keep narrowing to 0. Therefore it is enough to add the first three numbers to know in what range the answer will be.
Hope this helps...
