Hi raviagni,
Welcome to BTG. Your have broken a number of rules of the forum with this post. Please post one question per thread, you will get a much better response that way. You can see for yourself that your post is too cluttered and confusing, that can be avoided by posting one question per thread. Also make sure you post Problem solving questions in the PS section.
Regards.

Here are my answers:
1) B
2) D
3) C
4) C - is there a typo in the way u wrote the question.?
5) B
6) B
what are the OA? I could provide explainations if i did get it right. too many questions to post explainations.

HI TSonam,
for question 2, could you explain me why the answer is D? This question seems quite difficut.

2)If X is a decimal number, is the tenth digit of X a zero?
(1) 16X is an integer
only a few decimal values satisfy this statement for X. They are the decimal equivalents of 1/16, 2/16, 3/16... or .0625, .125, .1875 etc. As you can see in all these possibilities, some contain zero in the tenths digit, and some don't. Thus this statement is insufficient to answer the question.
(2) 8X is an integer
using a similar analysis, the possibilities are .125, .250 etc. All these decimals don't have a zero in the tenths digit, so this information is sufficient to answer the question which is no.

Q4: Is it supposed to be...
What is the range of (1/101 + 1/102 + 1/103 +... +1/150)?
0 to 1/2
1/2 to 1/3
1/3 to 2/3
2/3 to 1
1 to 4/3
1/101 is close to 1/100, hence almost 0.01.
1/150 = 0.0066
The max value can be 0.01 x 50 = 0.5 OR 1/2
The min value can be 0.0066 x 50 = 0.33 OR 1/3
The value must lie between 1/3 and 1/2 Choice B

1. 2N has 4 prime factors (PF). Then N should have 3 PF since 2 is a prime number. Sufficient.6)How many different prime factors does N have?
(1) 2N has 4 different prime factors.
(2) N ^2 has 4 different prime factors.
2. N^2 has 4 different PF. Then N should have 4 PF. Sufficient.
Answer should be (D).
Anyone else would like to take a stab at this one?

TSonam, I am not getting how u get D for this Qs and Yuke, how come B for this Qs -
We somehow don't know the exact value of X.
Now By 1, suppose 16 * .0001 = .0016 and 16 * .9999 = 15.9984
By 2, suppose 8 * .0001 = .0008 while 8 * .0434 = 3.472 and 8 * .9999 = 7.9992
In both cases, we can not come to conclusion- IMO E.
X is a decimal number, so it can be anything from .000000...1 to .999...999 or even 12121212....32323.000000...12)If X is a decimal number, is the tenth digit of X a zero?
(1) 16X is an integer
(2) 8X is an integer
We somehow don't know the exact value of X.
Now By 1, suppose 16 * .0001 = .0016 and 16 * .9999 = 15.9984

Correct me If I am wrong

Say x = 1/8 or 1/4 or 1/2 ...
From 1 16X is an integer ..not putting above values in 1 we get that tenth digit is not zero
Hence sufficient
From 2 also we get the same thing ..
Hope this helps
