Few generic doubts..

by p2pg » Fri Jun 12, 2009 8:42 am
I'm unsure how GMAT treats the below, please advise.. :?

a) Is zero an even integer?
b) Is zero considered as positive integer?
c) Is One considered as odd integer?
d) When one has to count numbers between 20 & 60, will it be 39 or 41? I mean do we exclude both the boundary numbers or include?

1) yes 0 is an even integer
2)0 is neither positive nor negative
3)yes 1 is odd
4)if it is "between", nswer is 39. otherwise "inclusive" would be mentioned

Hope I helped
The powers of two are bloody impolite!!

a) YES....Zero is an EVEN Integer.
b) ZERO is neither Positive nor Negative.
c) YES...1 is an Odd Integer.
d) If both number are included... (60-20) + 1 = 41
If both number are NOT included... (60-20) - 1 = 39
