Good one. I am sure there should be a easy way to solve this problem. I gave it just 2 mins & solved it manually to get C as the answer.You bet there is. Trying solving it that way. Mind you the numbers could be a little bigger on the GMAT. It can be solved in under one min.Vemuri wrote:dtweah wrote:Which of the following is the quotient of (2^9 +3^9)/35

First, I thought we should use the fact that 2^9 is a small number when compared to 3^9 and ignore it, but answer choices are so close together that this method will definitely not work.
