From 2 13n=mk or n=mk/13 since 3<m<13,k/13 has to an integer so that mk/13 is integer..sufficient Ans option B 13n=mk or n=mk/13 here LHS(n) is integer so RHS has to be integer i.e mk/13 is integer now m<13 and 13 is a prime so only way mk/13 is an integer when k/13 is integer. Why cant we apply th...

From 1
3n=mk where k is any integer
or n=mk/3 now k/3 may or may not be integer depending on which n may or may not be a multiple of m..insufficient

From 2

13n=mk or n=mk/13
since 3<m<13,k/13 has to an integer so that mk/13 is integer..sufficient

allfta wrote: is x<y ? (sorry this is DS)
1) the ratio of x to y is 7/9
2) xy>0
from 1 we get x=7k and y=9k so depending on whether k>0 or k<0 x>y or x<y..insufficient
from 2 we get both x,y has same sign..nothing can be concluded..insufficient

ans option E

The operation @ is defined by x@y = 1/x + 1/y for all nonzero numbers x and y. if z is a number greater than 1, which of the following must be true? 1) z @ (-z) = 0 2) z @ z/z-1 = 0 3) 2/z @ 2/z =zd A 1 B 1,2 C 1,3 D 2,3 E all lets take z=3/2 so -z=-3/2..so z @ (-z) =2/3 - 2/3=0..correct z/z-1 =3/2...

d= 1/2^3 x 5^7
=1/(2*5)^3 * 25*25
=(1/1000)*(4/100)*(4/100)
=16/10000000

so non zero digits are 1 and 6..ans 2

Lets dan's body weight is 100x
so class A body weight is 100x+100x*8/100 =108x
class B body weight is 100x-8x=92x

so a class A needs to loose (108-92)x or 16x to perform in class B
this is 16/108 *100% of class A weight 4*100/27 or 400/27 or 14.81%

p% of 20=20p/100
p% of 60=60p/100

so,
20+20p/100=60-60p/100
or 80p/100=40
or p/100=1/2

p% of 70=70 * p/100 =70 * 1/2 =35

Ans 35
