Algebra and Probability'

by Ozlemg » Thu Aug 04, 2011 4:05 am
What is the probability that (u/v)/w and (x/y)/z are reciprocal fractions?
(1) v, w, y, and z are each randomly chosen from the first 100 positive integers.
(2) The product (u)(x) is the median of 100 consecutive integers.
The more you suffer before the test, the less you will do so in the test! :)

This is not a realistic GMAT question, and I don't believe that it is similar enough to be worth spending your time on.
