I'm posting tough math problems that I've received from Kirtanasarin on Test Magic
http://www.urch.com/forums/just-finished-my-gmat/87585-500-640-q45-v34-notes.html

I've basically reclassified and split them up to 2 different word doc. Also added a few of my own problems.

Note there are two documents here:
1. gmat more difficult questions
2. permutations & combinations

1. 2n is an integer
2. 3n is an integer

Data sufficiency qstn in the attached document. Answer given is D. Can some one explain how?

This is my answer.

1. Insufficient.

if n = 1/2 2n is integer. but n is not integer
if n= 2 , 2n is integer and n is integer.

2. Insufficient

if n = 1/3 3n is integer. but n is not integer
if n= 3 , 3n is integer and n is integer.

Both together if 2n is integer and 3n is integer,
then n is inetger . Sufficient.
IMO C[/spoiler]
