(1) When the decimal is rounded to the nearest tenth, 3.2 is the result.

We can get 3.2 when we have 3.2[0-4]B6. Which means A =0,1,2,3,4

Insufficient

(2) When the decimal is rounded to the nearest hundredth, 3.24 is the result.

3.24 is the desired value and it can be possible when we round up

3.23[5-9] or 3.24[0-4] Which means A=3/4 Insufficient

Taking both of them together A=3/4

Insufficient E

Niraj,

I have been there. We need to get into the groove and think like the test makers. After a while it becomes easier. My DS still sucks. But not as much as it was when I started out
