GMATPREP DS 2

by EMAN » Sun Jan 03, 2010 9:19 pm
Six countries in a certain region sent a total of 7 reps to an international congress, and no two countries sent the same number of reps. Of the six countries, if Country A sent the second greatest number of reps, did A send at least 10 reps?

Wrong Question....

The Minimum reps have to be 15 or 21, because Countries have to send different number of participants
C1=0 or 1
C2=1 or 2
C3=2 or 3
C4=3 or 4
C5=4 or 5
C6=5 or 6
Min Total=15 or 21....

Can not be 7

and the second least is 4 or 5... so answer is NO; Not Necessary
