1.imo A
(i) states a =7 sufficient
(iI) states a=+-7 insufficient

2 imo D
x = domestic min call
y = internantional call
x+y =180
i) 10x=1000
11) 10x+35y=3800

3 imo a
i)x^2 -3^2 =x^2-y^2 ...>y=3 suffiicent
ii)(x+3)^2 = x^2+y^2 insufficient


4 imo e
i) dosent follow if x y are negative
ii) dosent mention y

5 imo d
i) 65 dimes means 650 cents so (1000-650)/5 gives no of nickel
ii)if there are x no of nickels then 5x + (x-5)10=1000


6 imo d
(i) edmund in 1 hr assembles 6 clocks so will henrich
(ii)together they will take 1.5 hrs can easily be calculated how long henrich takes


Hope it helps
